6.2.1 Big Reg Talks About Los Angeles High Rollers in the 1980s

Season 6 continues with High Rollers of the 1980s crack era in Los Angeles.
Big Reg, CEO "I am The Streets". Former Manager of Kurupt and several other high profile recording artists. Big Reggie has family ties to the biggest kingpins, hustlers, and pimps in the game. He talked with Eric "Eazy-E" Wright into a deal better than the one Eazy already had in music. In Part One he sits down with Kev Mac Videos and Da Hood Postman and laces us with some valuable Los Angeles history and his connection to some of the High Rollers of 1980s Los Angeles Drug Game.

Kevin thanks for switching up the interviews Johnboy & Big Reg is around my age and I can identify with everything they are speaking about the money 💰 will never be the same life will never be the same it's a blessing that we are still here to tell our stories 💪🏾💪🏾💯

[@dscgodflow6663]

I love watching Kev Mac on my 60in and reading the comments on my phone at the same time. That's a different type of vibe 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@chillywilliedfw9093]

I love Al Profits videos too but you can tell this interview with Reg is different. You can tell he's more comfortable talking to the homies from LA cause he knows Mel and Kev come from the soil and can empathize not just sympathize. Same difference with Alex as opposed to Kev. Alex is from the turf but didn't bang Kev banged so he can get a little different take from the interviewee cause they feel like they're looking in the mirror when the 96 Bulls (S Mac, Kev and Mel) interview them.

[@thechamp818dst]

When u say the 96 bulls I know you watch did you miss me

[@lakerraiders9285]

Your detailed synopsis of the clubs, article mentions, research and overall breakdown takes the views to that place and time. In the game they got a saying when someone has their hustlas hands in everything and their good at it......you KevMac is quadruple "breasted". (interviewer, director, producer and editor) you put the J in journalism!! Your history of the hometeam/soil and platform is ..."dope like coke that was cooked in the kitchen, Dabbin' revolution, stab it and KevMac goosin' Mini-me laptops, KevMac video that knock"...(Mac Dre) blessings and well wishes KevMac, keep your foot on they neck and keep shining my brotha!!

Guy being interviewed is stuck on that region vs region and city vs city crap ..He said LA allows people to come to their state , smash their women and make money off of them lol ..I didn't know LA dudes owned all the women from LA ..Maybe he doesn't know LA is a international city full of transplants ..

[@andreewing05]

When he said Page 4 I thought he was gonna open up that door and talk about the owner Herb from Chicago. I’ll be 53 next month but that was my father’s spot. That was that generation off Central Ave (Jeff high 1940). I’ve heard people talk about the Jazz from that era but nobody knows about the streets from that era (I don’t really even know because they never talked about the past) When the jazz singer Nancy Wilson came to town she always had see my uncle Lummy Long. He did his last time in Folsom in 95. He died a few years ago and to me he was the last one. I only say that because I wish people really knew what they don’t know about LA, but I’m just wishing. That door is closed forever. My uncle said about my dad “he was the most treacherous man I ever met”. When I asked him to tell me something about my father he looked at me and paused and said “your father and and dude named Hard Rock beat a dude to death laughing”. He shut me down. It was like he was telling me you don’t want to open that door. He told me once he said “Nephew when you see a man talking about what he used to do you can knock him in back of the head and watch the dust fly out his mouth.” They lived for now and they never talked about the streets they just did it.
