Mob James on Why He'll Never Go Back to "The Gangster Chronicles" Podcast (Part 26)

Watch Full Interview: • Mob James on Suge Knig...
Part 25: • Mob James Thinks Suge ...
Part 27: • Mob James & DJ Vlad on...
--------
Vlad and Mob James discussed the new lineup of The Gangster Chronicles. Mob James talks about his exit from the show, and the alleged back-door deals on the show that he was unaware of. He mentions his partnership with Norman, where they signed a 50/50 contract for the show. When he asked Norman about his own departure from the show and asked for his money, Norman stopped speaking to him. Vlad expressed regret that Mob James, who he once helped start on the podcast game, is no longer part of it. Mob James states that he has had legal help in trying to unravel the situation, but accepts that he may not see money from the show. They mention the low KZbin views and speculate on whether the show has any significant revenue. Vlad compares the show's situation to Dame Dash and Jay-Z's partnership and subsequent diverging successes.

What DL is saying is a great example of what happened with Memphis TN. They took away so much from the city and as a direct result, the crime rate shot through the roof. We've always gangsta music and we loved it but it never made people commit crime. The lack of things to do is what heavenly contributed to that causality
