U late is hell I new that was him the moment I heard his voice as Ryder

[@ShaBoiLD]

It's crazy how he was a big part of the game at least in the first half, and he hasn't even seen it?! I guess he knows the story but he hasn't been curious to actually search it up on KZbin or something and watch it? Samuel L Jackson is in it!

This is probably the best interview I’ve seen on KZbin. Noriega tailored that beautifully, respecting and giving Eiht boundaries that he would set for himself and not speaking on the Quik situation, which Eiht ended discussing himself. That was real N right there. That Suge situation was hard because he promised respect on Eihts mother while letting men handle what the got to handle. We all know about that beef with the brothers but nobody talks about it out of RESPECT.
