I just found Kev Mac I love these interviews I’m guessing bc I love older folks company. Most these guys are my grandparents age if they were here love from setx Mac 💙

[@planeman55]

To Kev Mac videos: This is Oran from Oakland. I was watching your video about Thomas "Tootie" Reese and he was supposed to be the top gangster in the game on the west coast. That's wrong. The Ward Brothers were on Reeses level or above. Frank Ward started the famous Player's ball, The players picnic, had rolls royces and plenty of property. frank by himself was a multi-millionaire when he was killed in 1972 before the movie the Mack came out. Don't get me twisted Reese was big but he wasn't the only one on that level frank ward was absolutely on the same level as reese.

To Kev Mac, this is Oran from Oakland. Tootie Reese was a down player but so were the Ward Brothers from Oakland. The Ward Brothers were so down and names ringing that Hollywood made a movie about them. Remember the Mack. The movie was loosely based on the life of Frank Ward. So, saying that Thomas Tootie Reese was the godfather of the west coast is Bullshit. The Ward Brothers were right along with Reese. How many L.A. gangsters and dope dealers has Hollywood made movies about. how about N O N E. The Macking Ward Brotherrs GOAT. BY THE WAY FRANK WARD STARTED THE PLAYER'S PICNIC AND PLAYER'S BALL IN OAKLAND AROUND 1969 OR 1970.THE G O A T THE WARD BROTHERS

[@KevMacVideos]

Serious question- no sarcasm, no hate, and not disagreeing. Frank was killed in 1972, do you think he saw more money in his lifetime than Tootie Reese throughout his reign? Had they seen 90 million at once? Now this is a fact- Tootie was given that label after the movie and after Frank’s death. That’s the time and era Michael is referring to. He’s not talking about Pre- 1972 lol don’t think he met Tootie until 1973 and although Tootie had several drug arrests I think it was the mid 1970s when he was most known as this big kingpin.

[@shakespeare1280]

Kev is 100 percent on point

[@pirate55hitinc.26]

Interesting! Never heard of the Ward brothers, but have seen the Makk! I've heard of Tootie Reese when I was a kid looking up to Husles& G's in tha DIRTY SOUTH! So not knokking the Ward brothers, but tha SOUTH is a stretch from Kali with no cellular phones bakk then while still hearing Mr Tootie Reese's name! Now that you've mentioned the Ward brothers I damn sure going to ask! My G uncles are still alive, and 1 of them still in Kali! Thanks for the research!

[@planeman55]

@@pirate55hitinc.26 From Oran from Oakland. The Ward Brothers were the biggest pimps on the west coast period. Frank Ward by himself had to have 20 to 30 girls himself. The girls used to trick out of the California Hotel and the Ebony hotels in west Oakland. At the famous Ali-Frazier fight on March 8th, 1971, Ebony magazine did a complete pictural layout of the Ward Brothers at Madison Square Garden. Even all the pimps on the east coast paid homage to the Ward Brothers. The Ward Brothers showed up with about 6 or 7 girls decked out in Mink Hot Pants. Now that's style and class. The Ward Brothers were in the New York Times paper. I was 17 and i was amazed at the height the Ward Brothers made. But by then i was running with the Oakland Black Panthers for self-defense. The Panthers changed my whole outlook at PIMPING AND ESPECIALLY PIMPING BLACK SISTERS. IT WAS WRONG THEN AND IT'S WRONG NOW. Plus if you know or heard of Don Magic Juan of Chicago fame he tries to say he started the player's ball which is a lie. Frank Ward started the Players Picnic and Players Ball in 1969 or 1970 at the old Showcase Lounge in North Oakland on Telegraph Ave. The Wards were also huge in the Coke game. I mean keys and keys of top-grade blow. The true players of the game the fabulous Ward Brothers. By the way, i am writing you from Cambodia where i now live. I fired the USA years ago. Plus these fine-ass Cambodian freaks just love black men to death. I am now rolling with the ORGY GAME HAHAHAHAHHAHA GOODBYE USA. NOT FOR ME.
