There's been an interesting conversation in the comments about bikers and rappers. Weird Hal was a white Hells Angel rapper that made a fool of himself. He's no longer a member.
Consequently some argue bikers have no business being rappers. While others argue rap culture promotes drug use which makes the bikers more money so let's talk about that.
Weird Hal's no longer a member so let's set him aside. I forgot about Little Whiterock Ryan. He wasn't a bad guy but I don't see him putting out any more music. The thing with Weird Hal is that he had drug dealers in his videos.
One rather amusing video had Hal on a boat with Rob Shannon and Jody York. It looked like Happy Planet's I'm on a boat parody only he wasn't joking he was trying to be cool. Cringe.
The point is he was being a heat bag. Jody York and Rob Shannon were later busted in a huge cross border drug ring. So once again, drawing too much attention to criminal activity is unwise. Pride cometh before the fall and great shall be the fall thereof. I'm not going to comment on Andreas' music or Harley Quinn's music. I'm not going to trash them like I did Hal.
I'm a bit worried about Andreas. In one of his videos he showed himself digging a grave while he was at gunpoint and then being shot and dumped in the grave. Metaphorical, allegorical, drama creation, call it what you will. I think he's really conflicted and has a death wish. The name he chose would support that.
It appears that he wants to go out in a blaze of fire to make a name for himself. Yet I can tell you this. His father doesn't want him to die a premature death. That's not honouring his father's memory. There's good and bad in every person. We honour someone by glorifying their good not their bad.
We honour someone by not making the same mistakes they made. Andreas was the one that had one of his guys film him while he sucker punched Rick Ross in Vancouver. That was a really cheap publicity stunt. Then his crew and Merkules' crew filmed themselves giving a couple of guys in Rick Ross' entourage the boots. That was straight up trailer trash.
I haven't listened to any of Merkules' music. I find him too uncomfortable to look at. This whole obsession with a fat rich white guy that has a hot young girlfriend makes my stomach turn. It's not something I'm interested in.
I haven't listened to Harley Quin's music either. He's rapping under the Devil's banner so I have no interest in what he has to say. So I'm not going to comment on any of their music other than stating that I think they're promoting addiction they're not encouraging people to leave the life and I think they're being heat bags like Rob Shannon and Jody York.
There is something that needs to be said about rap culture that promotes materialism and drug abuse. Their purpose is to make the white biker rich by throwing their life away.
Take Mad Child for example. He admitted to wasting his money on Viagra and oxies. Then when his money was gone, Voldemort kicked him to the curb after he sucked him dry.
So yes the club will exploit rappers just like they will exploit anyone else. I don't have a beef with Mad Child. He put out some stuff in the beginning that was pretty f*cked up but after breaking free he put out some stuff with Tom MacDonald and I'm not going to hate on him for that.
After Voldemort kicked him to the curb everyone started trashing him. That was pretty lame. Voldemort got what he deserved so now we can all move on. Tom MacDonald and Super Nova are doing really well and I'm not going to rain on that parade.
I just ask that people try to keep it positive. Someone said rapping is a way out for some of those kids and I disagree. Getting a job and living a normal life is a way out. Promoting addiction is not. Which brings us to the Caribbean rappers in Montreal. These guys aren't cringe like the white Eminem wannabe rappers but they are lost in space.
All these crazy beefs are insane. Those guys will shoot you for a pair of sneakers and throw their life away in the process.
The Bible has a story about a mess of pottage which is another name for a bowl of soup. The story is about a guy who sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. It's a cautionary tale so it is. Don't do what he did. Yet that's exactly what these kids are doing who shoot each other for a pair of sneakers.
When you commit murder you throw your life away. Throwing your life away for a watch or a pair of sneakers is pretty foolish. Wasting that much money on a Rolex or a pair of sneaking is foolish all on it's own. If you had that much money, why waste it on that? To impress people? That's pretty shallow.
Take a look at Lil Man. He was the connection between the Brother's Keepers and the Driftwood Crips. Where do you think he got all that money from? He got it from Damion Ryan.
He posted a picture on social media of him holding a fist full of cash beside some ridiculously expensive pair of runners. He got all that money from Damion Ryan for killing Mo then blew it instantly. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Damion Ryan rolled on Lil Man right after he hired him. That's the way the Wold Pack roll. They rat out the people they hired so the police get a bust and they get to keep selling drugs.
After Damion Ryan's last bust he rolled on Zone 43 who were Haitians from Montreal he brought to the DTES to keep Redd Alert in line after the Wolf Pack was given the DTES drug network. So basically rap culture promotes slavery through materialism, addiction and greed. For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
A salute to the Dalai Lama.
There is one white local rapper out there that has a huge potential. I called him the Dalai Lama because he displayed profound wisdom in his youth when he discovered the gang life wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Sometimes rapping isn't a way out, it's a way to process your trauma.
Tom McDonald really is an exception to that which is going on regarding Canadian hip hop artists. Not everyone likes him due to his opinionated politics, but he has made a significant effort to promote sobriety over addiction, and I believe he’s always been sincere in this effort. I respect him a great deal for this.
ReplyDeleteExactly. So do I.
DeleteTom Mcdonald the guy that LARPs as an American? complete with giant American flags and US military gear in his videos? That guy is the Dalai lama? Buddhism promotes peace TM promotes violence he never used too but he completely sold out from what he was.
DeleteTom McDonald is not the person I call the Dalai Lama. It's someone else local. Young, new, doing his own thing.
DeleteYeah, that Tom McDonald. He’s been living in L.A. for a decade now. He promotes violence? Really? Please state a specific example because I’ve never heard him doing so.
DeleteI like Tom MscDonald. He's just not the one I refer to as the Dalai Lama. That's just Blaze. He hates him because Tom MacDonald is a Conservative. Blaze is a POS left wing Liberal, Convoy hating, Lockdown loving, d*ck.
DeleteIf these members are so down with rapping why haven't they continued on with it? Because they know they are an embarrassment and a joke in the eyes on their own mc. Let's keep it real mc and rappers are Polar opposites in terms of having members actually being rappers. They can extort whoever they want that is very mc like but to actually be up there on stage and be wannabe rappers that us complete and total embarrassing for the mc. Lots of new schoolers may not agree but then again that is why they are new schoolers and have no clout when talking about this topic.
ReplyDeleteSome people think rap is crap. John Bryce, the East Vancouver chapter president, appeared in a heavy metal music video by Skard. Years later singer Adis (Ady) Golic was shot dead. He had been convicted in a Hells Angels stock fraud:

what about that rapper Forrest that they financed and then he disappeared??
ReplyDeleteForrest Schab aka DY. I was just thinking about him. Tied to Larry Amero and John Punko. Disappeared and never heard from again. Another rapper the club exploited.

Just a bunch of guys who like to ride bikes and party. If Revenue Canada was doing their job they would all be in prison for tax evasion, (never mind murder and drug dealing) there is no way it can't be demonstrated that they live far beyond their legal sources of income.
DeleteJust like all the Chinese massage parlors and tourist, student and work visa's granted to Chinese ladies of the night.
DeleteVancouver sends more tax free money to China via prostitution than it does any other country in the world x100!
CRA ....crickets.
One day this will become the story it needs to be.
That's Sam Cooper's red herring not mine. It's also bullsh*t.
Delete90s rap was good now days it sucks.

DeleteHow did they finance Forrest did they pay for a tour? I never heard of him touring. No albums. What is there to finance? I get with Drake and MadChild they just used them but this guy didn't have any money. They have a failed history in the rap industry that us for sure 🤣😂
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point. They always say they owed us money or they were a rat even when they weren't just so no one will question the murder.
DeleteMaybe they trying to build him up into a star but have to tour and have albums for that. I think they not so much into the rap game as they are just into extorting and using high money targets in the rap game. Which is what they do anyway. The issues are when they themselves rap and they look like fools chasing fame while heating out their mc. I been around these jokers and they act like everything is a big secret and you can't say this you can't say that meanwhile they have members that outright rapping about their criminal lifestyle for all to hear.
DeleteReason they more powerful in Canada is because in US they got rico that can take you down fast but lax laws here so they are able to build up finances and image of being the top criminal enterprise that is visible let's say as yes there are others but they don't go around wearing patches or are harder to identify. Ottawa is proposing something similar to rico inUS so well see how that goes
ReplyDeleteRICO is a scam. If the police in BC weren't helping them, things would be very different. We need to enforce the laws we have not make new ones we don't need that lead us down the wrong road.
DeleteI think people need you to explain in greater detail about RICO and it's potential downside but it has good history down south, people credit RICO for breaking the back of the mob in NYC. The mob is still around of course, still in business, but a shadow of it's former self by all accounts.
DeleteWill do. BRB. Out in the sun.
DeleteOK in my opinion, the United States is a place of extremes. The CIA has been working with the Mafia since Operation Mongoose after Operation Northwoods was vetoed. The CIA were behind Operation Fast and Furious so designating the cartel as a terrorist organization is a joke. They need to designate the CIA a terrorist organization before they do anything else.
Delete30 year prison sentences don't stop organized crime. The ringleaders just find another mule. Right now the US passed new legislation allowing them to invade another country under the pretext of confronting organized crime. Yet the US has a military base in Honduras where they fly drugs straight into the US just like in Operation Watch Tower. So in my opinion RICO is a joke. It's a smoke and mirror distraction that lets them burn assets but keep doing business.
Did you notice Kim bolan latest story on Cody haevischer . It says former red Scorpion member . Did Cody check into PC or is the rs gang finished with . Do you know ?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Cody is the only one not in PC. They can't put everyone in. They need someone to charge. I don't think RS is done because of that BIBO betrayal. Kyle Latimer, Lolo Lanski and Pistol Pete all f*cked over BIBO with those prison assaults and solidified their leadership in RS. When the compromised CFSEU say Cody is former RS they might mean he's not part of the new leadership or they could just be making sh*t up again.
DeleteYea . I thought maybe bolan purposely put former . If he's not PC then he must still be cool with Larry
DeleteI can't speak on that but Post Media News prints whatever the CFSEU tell them. I don't know for sure but I'd imagine he'd still be good with Larry Amero since Jamie Bacon turned on both of them.
DeleteI think your right though about him being the only one left to really pay for the crime . There's no deal to be made . He s losing every court case I read . The judge also said at the start she's bound by the BC court of appeal ruling on the matter
ReplyDeleteHe's fucked
Any news on the deatg of those two members the one guy in starbucks drive thru and other guy found under bridge?
ReplyDeleteChad and Ali? Nothing new. We know they weren't killed by rivals. The club killed them both. Andreas was with Damon Ryan at Chad's funeral. Damion was wearing a mask and a filthy few patch while Andreas was wearing a bottom rocker for Greece. He was a prospect for the Greece chapter while Damion Ryan and Robbie were there.
DeleteThat's when they killed Timoleon Psiharis in Greece who was one of Larry Amero's co accused when he came to them for help. Psiharis was tied to a chair, doused in acid and beaten to death. That's how Damion Ryan got his filthy few patch. Post Media News said the Filthy Few Patch meant he was an enforcer for the Hells Angels. Not. It means they killed someone.
Otis Garrett got his filthy few patch for killing Margo Compton and her twin daughters. So Damion Ryan and Andreas attended Chad's funeral knowing the club killed him. That's why I say Harley Quinn's father is better off without a biker funeral. It means nothing.

In the states the ha are just a rag tag group not like they are in Canada in terms of organization and profitabilty. This is because of rico. I agrer with you though that its a very slippery slope. That said it does work.
DeleteYeah I don't think so but that's OK. We're allowed to disagree. There really isn't much in the US I'd like to emulate right now. Their prison system is one of them. The problem is the intelligence agencies that profit from organized crime. Burning an asset once in a while doesn't change anything,.
Delete"Top 5" is another interesting toronto rapper.
ReplyDeleteNot really. Just another drama queen trying to start sh*t to get famous.
DeletePeople now have seen the other sides of rap as most are posers nwa only real gangster was eazy e. And now with all these on the dl guys pretending to be ladies man. Meanwhile lol. The s@tabic programming prisons. All done on purpose and plannned out years in advance conspiracies are real there is nothing theory about them.
DeleteThe HA being rag tag down south is far from accurate, they just don't have the protection from law enforcement and politicians that they have here. Whenever their misdeeds come to light or they do something stupid they get smacked.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvfZaCpJS3E
The comments are "indicative".
Ya and that is why they are a bunch of rag tag bikers in states compared to Canada. I understand the reasoning and agree but fact remains they are far less powerful and not as wealthy.
DeleteYes but I also think they are different. I have a young Mexican friend I used to teach martial arts to who has family in San Francisco. His cousin is a member there. He knew what the club was like here and said it's different there. I assumed his relatives were Mongols because they are Latino. Turns out he is related to Papa. I said yo, you never told me you were related to Papa. He shrugged and said I didn't know you knew who he was.
DeleteWho is Papa?
ReplyDeleteThe famous Hells Angels president that was killed in San Francisco. Mark "Papa" Guardado: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna26735718
DeleteCant believe ha raps that is the most goof thing an ha could do. Directly opposed to what they are supposed to stand for.
