Punk Rock Legend John Joseph joins BailStreet. Full Episode: directory.libsy... or any podcast platform you use! podcasts.apple... www.bailstreet... IG: BailStreet
Harley never ratted on him. John turned himself in. The NY cops called him, because Parris was being threatened by him and got a restraining order. When the cops called him up, he assumed it was Harley and Parris snitching on him. John said to the police that "I know you guys know I'm AWOL....." John even wrote that in his book. He ratted himself out. The cops didn't know he was AWOL until he told them. The takeaway here is never assume the cops know anything, and keep your mouth shut.
if you read both of their books its the same story just told by two guys who were both the most badass dudes that they both knew.....legends in their own minds.....i wish they could be as forgiving and open as they both portray themselves and bury the hatchet and play together again
Right? Too bad John didn't take up Jainism or Buddhism, or some other peaceful religion that he could struggle to assimilate with. He got that Shinto attitude thing...LOL.
I agree ! 100 only one may have stepped over the line and tread on he. A bit too long and some shit is irreversible. You wanna forgive but IMPOSSIBLE . MANY former friends of his feel the same . It is sad. At least HE IS HAPPY. MAYBEhe can stop being so mad again .
“Claim you’re some bad martial artist” All respect and love to JJ, but Harley is a black belt under Renzo Gracie, doesn’t really get more legit than that.
The point is more about how he doesn't carry himself like a martial artist. With a black belt, especially under Renzo, what a sweet and standup guy to learn from, you would think this dude would have more integrity.
@@respecttheface7152 both are og. Hff was brought 'IN'TO the punkrock scene early as he was a lil kid drumming for the stimulators a band his aunt plays guitar for. John was, at the same time , roadie for the brains and in bloodclot via DC first (navy related ) is a native ny'r also and grew up really rough alone with his bro's ...both squatted robbed together and apart ..JJ GREWUP!! Keeps growing .Got humble in the late 90's TOTALLY . GOOD MAN . HF was still shaing the demons he conjured . LITERALLY. Hope he has .
All the hate and anger and chaos resulted in some great NYHC. Remember, they were never really friends, they were a band that used the tension to make great music.
All the white skinheads from 80s working class East Side were racists because they were constantly jumped by even more racist black gangbangers. Calling someone a racist like a formal charge nowadays is a spoiled disney princess tiktoker bitch move.
Horrible things being said here. Shame on bailstreet for getting into someone else's biz. Bailstreet doesn't have the courage to say that to Harley's face. Hoping PMA will heal these Quarrels some day. Harley was an admitted basketcase years ago and now he's a well respected martial arts teacher of children, a loving father who's been off drugs for many years. If only we could get Vinny Stigma to mediate all the quarrels between the Cro-Mags, then there could be some reconciliation.
I’ve read both John and Harley’s books and I still can’t make heads or tales of the beef they have with each other? I’m curious about Doug, Mackie, and Paris’ side of the story? Such a shame, Age of Quarrel is so good!
Mackie is clearly w/John on this as they play together. I've seen Harley play with Parris long ago as the Cro-Mags. There was a recent court ruling stating that Harley can keep & use the name "Cro-Mags" and John has to use "Cro-Mags JM". The "JM" is for John & Mackie. If you've never seen the "new" version of John's "Mags", do yourself a favor and catch them. JJ, Mackie, Craig Setari, & AJ Novello. They put on one fuck of a show!
Walt Coyle John definitely has his fishy shit over the years but nothing like Harley. John truly seems to care about others and helping others. The Krishna thing is always strange. I grew up when Shelter got big and the Krishna thing was a real thing in hXc in the early 90’s. I agree though, theses reviews broken street kids trying to put a life together. John seems more real than Harley. I always thought it was strange how John would sound very “black” when he talked. It’s calmed down a lot, but he sounded ridiculous talking about growing up around them so that’s why he sounded like them. Hard to take any white dude trying to sound like what they think of as “black”. Goofy
You got bullshitted. I have the ORIGINAL pressing of AOQ in my hands right now... And it says "Lyrics-John Joseph and Harley Flanagan.". He got to billing, above Harley for that. Harley LIES telling people jj did NONE of the lyrics now, so why did he let jj have to billing back then? JJ is the one whose a monk and spiritually prohibited from lying, Harley DESERVED his broken leg.
* top (billing), i.e. Harley let JJ's name in the credits be higher, meaning he wrote more lyrics than Harley. Before both sides had any REASON to bullshit.
I tend to think the sum was greater than the parts..... it would be interesting to see ALL of them play some shows together.... the beefs they have seem like some pretty retarded stuff too, like things that could be dealt with, if all of them were reasonable humans, but if any one of them are not, then nope...
I know Harley he doesn’t have Nazi tattoos lol. I am Jewish I would never talk to him again lol. The only drug he does is smoke weed. The guy lives in an apartment very modest. He is a nice guy. The rest I have no idea
@@crate718 18 ie number in the alphabet of the letters "A" and "H". Which of course is Adolf Hitler's initials. He also had swastikas on one of his forearms,but apparently he had them covered up.
John never said to me or others that knew him back in the day, that he was a seal, I would have heard About it if he did, maybe he told people that he knew he could bullshit, but we were the street...
Harley has always been more hardcore, street, punk, gangster than John. Cro Mags owe their original fan base to Harley and his friends and connections in the scene, but what do you expect it's New York everyone's beefing with each other, everybody thinks they're better than the next guy ect... It's east coast mentality, so many of the early 80s punk bands from Cali are still doing it, 80% of east coast bands of the same era are all throwing shade at each other
Just saw this dude a couple weeks ago, awesome performance, hopefully the Harley Flanagan Cro mags come to my area,then I can't decide which version I like better,it's sad it gas to be this way considering hardcore us about having each other's backs and unity,and just not doing the dumb ignorant shit that screws people's lives up,money really is the root of all evil
Here’s what people don’t realize, bands break up, it’s the nature of the beast. These guys just did it NYHC STYLE. So if you weren’t there in the early 80’s and seen these guys as stealers, squatters, scammers, and broke mutha fuckers then you really don’t know the whole story, Harley is a Lower East Side Punk Kid who grew up rough man, I remember that crazy little fucker as a glue sniffing skinhead at shows, didn’t really know JJ before the band but his story his pretty much the same I take it. So why is everyone down on each other. They just did what they’ve done all their lives man, fucking fight to survive, no matter who gets fucked up. ITS CLOBBERING TIME AGAIN
Cheryl Lightning Yup !!!!! The scene I was into 81 / 84 was punk’s / hardcore youth uniting against everyone & everything that wasn’t just that. Not each other, but money & notoriety can change things I guess ???!!!!! Oh well I’ll keep jamming to the old shit until I die ☠️🎶🖤
Parris... with Harley at times wrote the Music on the first 2 classic albums and most of the third album. Alot of good interviews out there with Parris....who is probably the most credible source. It's a shame they can't all get along. But hey...it goes like that sometimes.
Harley IS the Cro Mag's, it's his band, he started it, there is nothing more to say. John is just a whiner, just listen to him, whining in his annoying nasal voice. Best wishes FTW! Mic placement is on point in this case.
Jive Samba his voice is better than Harley’s. He made Cro-Mags a lame metal band without John. They both should’ve moved on years ago, but nothing sold as well as the name. They should grow up
Same with Harley. They`re a full of shit band. Harley aint no fucking badass. His mommy is a rich bitch professor @NYU and despite the tough posturing, Harleys` just momma`s boy.
So the 2nd singer (this guy) says he’s one of the band founders and that he wrote songs, but according to Parris, Casanova the 1st singer, wrote most of the songs so...
Someone bullshitted you. I'm sitting here with an ORIGINAL cd pressing in my hands, dated 1986, PCD-1218 of Rock Hotel Records and Profile Records. Photo available by PM. It says -- before all of them had reasons to bullshit against each other: "produced by christopher williamson, recorded at eastside studios, NY.C. (missing the period), 1986, digitally transferred at Aura-Sonic LTD., N.Y.C., engineered by steve remote... LYRICS - JOHN JOSEPH AND HARLEY FLANAGAN," so why did Harley give JJ top billing for the lyrics? Now Harley claims JJ didn't do ANY lyrics... Bullshit.
You know what fuckin confuses me , is that parris and Harley say that they wrote all the songs but then parris says he didn’t believe in the Krishna movement , but most of the Cromags songs are about that , so I do believe JJ that he did write most
He actually did, though - top of left forearm. There’s a photo of the band in the inlay for the AoQ / Best Wishes cd and you can clearly see it. He may well have had it covered sometime in the 80s. Was real small and part of another tatt I think.
Different times in 80's NYC... We need to stop looking at 30 years ago with our 2019 goggles on.. These two guys are NYC street kids, tough as nails. They will never make amends.
Parris Mayhew claimed a couple of weeks ago he had emails from club owners that JJ has a gig scam that nets him $300 a gig. Has the club do the merchandise and claims 300 has gone missing at the end of the night. There is so much shit between these guys, it's mental.
Let John Talk.Two Sides to ever story.I agree with Both Guys.Its A hardcore Community Thing. Ur Friends Are ur Brothers in the scene.Not ever to be a good thing to Rat on people who u trust. Always A Friend For Life.!
I tend to believe John. But they were def both hustlers. I remember John in the mid-80s making believe like he was wheelchair-bound panhandling for the temple by Tompkins Sq. After he raised enough $ for himself He stood up and threw the wheelchair over his shoulder and walked away. Funny shit man! We were on our way to go see Goldie for some bud once on Ave B And JJ was walking in front of me and he dropped a bunch of dime bags while he was walking down 7th. I was like “yo John I think you dropped something bro” He said thanks and gave me one! I’m on JJ’s side on this Harley topic! I don’t care who started the band and who wrote the music, JJ is the Cro-Mags!
So sorry you got stung john. this is Todd the singer for gassenhauer. Once a rat ALWAYS A RAT BRO.I had a couple in the band as well .So that was it for me too.One of the high lites of my life was playing gigs with you as well, in new York and Montreal, in the 80s.Still street, still scrap, NEVER RAT .....lo the world is full of them bro.
You're making him sound like Harley Malcolm McLaren! Too bad you guys can't squash all that b******* but I understand. Hopefully both of you guys are doing good and all that stuff can disappear someday. Everybody f**** up when they are young. You guys have a future of success... Enjoy it. Not all of us have that.
Harley showed up to confront John at Webster Hall in 2012, but ended up getting beaten by group of guys instead. Beating had nothing to do with John. It was bc Harley talked shit about DMS on one of his videos or songs. Danny Diablo explained it all on a podcast, last year
@@gabefranco6572 It was either on Danny's own podcast "Diablo's Den" or when he was guest on "If I ruled the world" podcast. Pretty sure he said it on his Diablo's Den, but can't remember exact episode.
I found it. It's on "If I ruled the world.." And if they set out to jump Harley, they should have just said that. THAT'S BEING A MAN. Not going to the cops, suing or lying about it. Secondly, a REAL person would have just kicked his ass themselves instead of getting six people on one person. Just admit where you did wrong. Admit your fucks ups and your weaknesses and move on. I don't need a gang to handle my beef with someone.
I watched Harley and Paris play a show at in San Francisco and he got stomped by all the hardcore dudes in Oakland for talking shit and starting a fight for no reason
@@unclepizza72 he did the same in norway many years ago. Hit my friend who never fights with a maglight. And fighting with a bunch of other dudes who came to see him playing. Thats how you build a fanbase, so they can support you doing what you love. Making music.
John has no reason to continue this beyond his love for the music. The dude is solid as they come. Clean living,clean mind and full of positive energy. You judge.
JJ and his band of wanna be Cro Mags suck. I don't know him or Harley personally but I saw them both a year ago JJ and the fake mags sucked but Harley and the Hardcore band kicked ass.
@Zolina Mohamad I love your intelligent vocabulary. Oh wait, that is from the street. Who give’s a shit about your streets.Sod off you little ape. John J has been a whining bitch for the last 25 years over stuff that happened 25+ years ago. Hasn’t contributed anything important nor created anything new. Harley on the other hand has gone on to make several cool albums. JJ can’t sing for shit anymore and looks like an old man out of breath. So you accept the NOW, Harley’s finally and rightfully got the name and he IS the one who is going to make new Cro-Mags stuff. JJ can keep on doing his Age of Squirrel karaoke set.
Let's not forget JJ selling little American flags at ground zero "for charity" then pocketing the cash. He used to go out in a wheelchair begging on the street and then buying drugs for himself. Harley is a 😅 JJ contradicts himself on every interview or podcast...both of them have done some cunty shite like, but it gets under the watch, it proves fuck all to anyone those first two Cro Mags records are flawless. Same goes for Harley's solo work. The 2000 record "Revenge" sounds like Blink 182...
He’s been robbing everyone with that fraudulent band of scabs. He’s got no room to talk about anyone. Stays trying to tear Harley down while living off his legacy. Cro Mags is Harley and Parris...
☝🏽 Renzo doesn’t jus give out black belts.. matter of fact no one n jitsu does if he got especially from him he earned dat shit.. ✌🏽 Jocko is no fuckin joke .. so dat right there defuses ya whole argument on a show I never 👎🏽 heard of unlike jocko.. Now I’m not saying JJ doesn’t know his shit and ain’t bout it but doz 2 statements were ignorant as fuck.. whatever Der history is it’s neither here nor Der.. But don’t downplay actual facts .. Renzo got danaher death squad and a small as their team is he has the best guy in the world and he’s destroying 10th planet with a handful of members so no your shit before you start talking shit..
He’s right, you rob your friends you get moped out! A snitch is the worst , there punks...there’s a code of the streets that I grew up on that somehow seems to have gotten lost. Refreshen to here this dude talk how it was , how it is ...Period!
This guy sounds like my narcissistic brother. It wasn't Harley's fault that you got your ass in trouble with the law and the military. And if you've been to prison then you know it's full of snitches so it's time to cut out all that b*******. Seriously how would he take that much money. Just like my brother. Tell them it was 40030 thousand and next month it'll be a hundred thousand. Man you guys need to squash that s***. It would be really cool if you guys got along but f*** it. Do whatever you want dude. I'm glad you're doing well with the Iron Man stuff but don't blame anybody but yourself for all your b******* that you've done. It's called accountability
I wonder what I would think about some comments without watching the video before. Isn't it like reading in a teenie chatrom where little girls started a discussion about the cutest guy in a boy band? “JJ is Cro Mag!“ ... “shut up bitch, Harley is Cro Mag“ . Cro Mags stopped being a band with just one of these idiots.
is there any proof about the money issue? has mackie or paris corroborated this? they could all, with each other, probably make more money together, than was ever supposedly stolen from any one of them...

I agree ! 100 only one may have stepped over the line and tread on he. A bit too long and some shit is irreversible. You wanna forgive but IMPOSSIBLE . MANY former friends of his feel the same . It is sad. At least HE IS HAPPY. MAYBEhe can stop being so mad again .

He claims that Harley is racist, but yet Rocky George is still in Cro Mags? The new Cro Mags album kicks ass!!!
Not taking sides but just because he has rocky playing with him in 2020 doesn't mean that Harley didn't do racist shit when he was younger

(missing the period), 1986, digitally transferred at Aura-Sonic LTD., N.Y.C., engineered by steve remote... LYRICS - JOHN JOSEPH AND HARLEY FLANAGAN," so why did Harley give JJ top billing for the lyrics? Now Harley claims JJ didn't do ANY lyrics... Bullshit.
You know what fuckin confuses me , is that parris and Harley say that they wrote all the songs but then parris says he didn’t believe in the Krishna movement , but most of the Cromags songs are about that , so I do believe JJ that he did write most
“Tell that to Maddoff” ...so cringe
well the shit he's blaming garley for like ratting. .then why he played with him again in 2001?
Why hasn't Dana white got them to fight yet on ufc?
Next time have both men in the studio, there's always three sides. Are mikes strategically placed to cover the face?
Very PMA of you John 😉
Never seen Harley with a swastika tattoo...where did you get that, John?
Right...or be a big fan of the Bad Brains.
He definitely has an 18 tattoo on his right front shoulder area....
He actually did, though - top of left forearm. There’s a photo of the band in the inlay for the AoQ / Best Wishes cd and you can clearly see it. He may well have had it covered sometime in the 80s. Was real small and part of another tatt I think.
He said he got it tattooed on hin to "shock people".
Different times in 80's NYC... We need to stop looking at 30 years ago with our 2019 goggles on.. These two guys are NYC street kids, tough as nails. They will never make amends.
Parris Mayhew claimed a couple of weeks ago he had emails from club owners that JJ has a gig scam that nets him $300 a gig. Has the club do the merchandise and claims 300 has gone missing at the end of the night.
There is so much shit between these guys, it's mental.
Whoa, do you know more about this shit?

Could you have chosen a shittier camera angle- nope!
Let John Talk.Two Sides to ever story.I agree with Both Guys.Its A hardcore Community Thing.
Ur Friends Are ur Brothers in the scene.Not ever to be a good thing to Rat on people who u trust.
Always A Friend For Life.!
John Joseph wears a wig
I tend to believe John.
But they were def both hustlers.
I remember John in the mid-80s making believe like he was wheelchair-bound panhandling for the temple by Tompkins Sq.
After he raised enough $ for himself He stood up and threw the wheelchair over his shoulder and walked away.
Funny shit man!
We were on our way to go see Goldie for some bud once on Ave B And JJ was walking in front of me and he dropped a bunch of dime bags while he was walking down 7th.
I was like “yo John I think you dropped something bro”
He said thanks and gave me one!
I’m on JJ’s side on this Harley topic!
I don’t care who started the band and who wrote the music, JJ is the Cro-Mags!
2:58 what gay magazine ?
Of course hardcore gay mag
cromags is flangan flangan is real cromags
What year did he go AWOL in the military?
So sorry you got stung john. this is Todd the singer for gassenhauer. Once a rat ALWAYS A RAT BRO.I had a couple in the band as well
.So that was it for me too.One of the high lites of my life was playing gigs with you as well, in new York and Montreal, in the 80s.Still street, still scrap, NEVER RAT .....lo the world is full of them bro.
Bail street and 118 subs are canceling Harley Flanagan. Ooooooo!! So woke
You're making him sound like Harley Malcolm McLaren! Too bad you guys can't squash all that b******* but I understand. Hopefully both of you guys are doing good and all that stuff can disappear someday. Everybody f**** up when they are young. You guys have a future of success... Enjoy it. Not all of us have that.
Ur a idiot.. U dont forgive ppl like that
Where is the full episode?
Harley showed up to confront John at Webster Hall in 2012, but ended up getting beaten by group of guys instead. Beating had nothing to do with John. It was bc Harley talked shit about DMS on one of his videos or songs. Danny Diablo explained it all on a podcast, last year
@@gabefranco6572 It was either on Danny's own podcast "Diablo's Den" or when he was guest on "If I ruled the world" podcast. Pretty sure he said it on his Diablo's Den, but can't remember exact episode.
I found it. It's on "If I ruled the world.." And if they set out to jump Harley, they should have just said that. THAT'S BEING A MAN. Not going to the cops, suing or lying about it. Secondly, a REAL person would have just kicked his ass themselves instead of getting six people on one person. Just admit where you did wrong. Admit your fucks ups and your weaknesses and move on. I don't need a gang to handle my beef with someone.
@@cheryllightning7616 lol. You clueless about what talking shit about crew means
I watched Harley and Paris play a show at in San Francisco and he got stomped by all the hardcore dudes in Oakland for talking shit and starting a fight for no reason
@@unclepizza72 he did the same in norway many years ago. Hit my friend who never fights with a maglight. And fighting with a bunch of other dudes who came to see him playing. Thats how you build a fanbase, so they can support you doing what you love. Making music.
Lol Bloodclot let him rob him that many times? How does this happen
Who did 25 years? Who are you talking about?
Scotty Ebanks
Harley is back there is a new Cro Mags album.
I don't think that's the whole story . Ur still using his band name
John has no reason to continue this beyond his love for the music. The dude is solid as they come. Clean living,clean mind and full of positive energy. You judge.
JJ and his band of wanna be Cro Mags suck. I don't know him or Harley personally but I saw them both a year ago JJ and the fake mags sucked but Harley and the Hardcore band kicked ass.
@Zolina Mohamad I love your intelligent vocabulary. Oh wait, that is from the street. Who give’s a shit about your streets.Sod off you little ape. John J has been a whining bitch for the last 25 years over stuff that happened 25+ years ago. Hasn’t contributed anything important nor created anything new. Harley on the other hand has gone on to make several cool albums. JJ can’t sing for shit anymore and looks like an old man out of breath. So you accept the NOW, Harley’s finally and rightfully got the name and he IS the one who is going to make new Cro-Mags stuff. JJ can keep on doing his Age of Squirrel karaoke set.
jj telling the same story over and over and over again lol
none of the two can claim , being the true CRO - MAGS all by himself ... that's so childish in the end !!!
Let's not forget JJ selling little American flags at ground zero "for charity" then pocketing the cash.
He used to go out in a wheelchair begging on the street and then buying drugs for himself. Harley is a 😅 JJ contradicts himself on every interview or podcast...both of them have done some cunty shite like, but it gets under the watch, it proves fuck all to anyone those first two Cro Mags records are flawless. Same goes for Harley's solo work. The 2000 record "Revenge" sounds like Blink 182...
Flanagan owns you now 😂
He’s been robbing everyone with that fraudulent band of scabs. He’s got no room to talk about anyone. Stays trying to tear Harley down while living off his legacy. Cro Mags is Harley and Parris...
Lol.
Get over it .....thats what happens when you trust...never trust anyone
Harley is Nyhc
Im glad he snitched on you i would have done it in a second too! Sounded like you were inlisted.
JJ is the biggest snitch there is
I never trust someone who immediately comes out with the old "hes a rat."
So why was Flanagan handeling the money, the second time? Or the first time,för that matter?😂
Suomalainen Cro-Mags fani 🤘
He wasn't. Read Harley's book
Racist Skinhead but you were in a band with him for years?
☝🏽 Renzo doesn’t jus give out black belts.. matter of fact no one n jitsu does if he got especially from him he earned dat shit.. ✌🏽 Jocko is no fuckin joke .. so dat right there defuses ya whole argument on a show I never 👎🏽 heard of unlike jocko.. Now I’m not saying JJ doesn’t know his shit and ain’t bout it but doz 2 statements were ignorant as fuck.. whatever Der history is it’s neither here nor Der.. But don’t downplay actual facts .. Renzo got danaher death squad and a small as their team is he has the best guy in the world and he’s destroying 10th planet with a handful of members so no your shit before you start talking shit..
He’s right, you rob your friends you get moped out! A snitch is the worst , there punks...there’s a code of the streets that I grew up on that somehow seems to have gotten lost. Refreshen to here this dude talk how it was , how it is ...Period!

This guy sounds like my narcissistic brother. It wasn't Harley's fault that you got your ass in trouble with the law and the military. And if you've been to prison then you know it's full of snitches so it's time to cut out all that b*******. Seriously how would he take that much money. Just like my brother. Tell them it was 40030 thousand and next month it'll be a hundred thousand. Man you guys need to squash that s***. It would be really cool if you guys got along but f*** it. Do whatever you want dude. I'm glad you're doing well with the Iron Man stuff but don't blame anybody but yourself for all your b******* that you've done. It's called accountability
I heard that JJ was pretending he was an ex Navy seal and Harley found out and told everyone. I don't know how true that is, though.
You don’t rob anyone 🤷♂️
The Cro-Mags are like the Ramones were in the '90s. 🤣
Fast as fuckin’ hell?
@@adamavila7098 Yes, but also that fuggin' New Yawk Howard Stern drama, etc.
@@ignatiusjackson235 oh god, THAT shit
Hurts me they don't get along and forgive each other...
They have both done a lot for the H.C. movement
John is Real NY☘️
SURVIVAL OF DA $TREET$
This is a very spiritual interview JJ. You are a very spiritual guy. How about just say "pass" next time. You and Harley are like a couple of kids...
He’s pissed cause he lost the rights to the band name to Harley.
For a 'Hare Krisna' he seems very worried about material things and violence
You shouldn't rob ANYONE John. But you've done some sketchy shit yourself....but you never apologise or anything..
BLOODCLOT MURDERS THOUGH....
hey john i remember what you were getting ya awesome back tat back when i hung with ya bro frank and frenchie
In the 80's those two were inseparable
Yo JJ keep it real ... don't call the kettle black...
I wonder what I would think about some comments without watching the video before. Isn't it like reading in a teenie chatrom where little girls started a discussion about the cutest guy in a boy band? “JJ is Cro Mag!“ ... “shut up bitch, Harley is Cro Mag“ . Cro Mags stopped being a band with just one of these idiots.
John Joseph. The man.
... The myth... The snitch...
The story is a bit different....
Love or hate them. They made the Nyhc bible. Aoq
This guy is the biggest liar in the history of the world!
40,000 dollars? That's all lol
He went awol ! Wtf ! Harley stole all the money from Joseph ! Now that's hardcore !
is there any proof about the money issue? has mackie or paris corroborated this?
they could all, with each other, probably make more money together, than was ever supposedly stolen from any one of them...
Wow. Fuck. I had no idea.
