Mellie Mel......I'll say it again...y'all brothers from Santana are uniquely talented....thank you for this...I love James too...never seen him so comfortable talking about his life and such....Phil Donahue work....
I met James in 90 at my auntie house, him and heron. They both was dealing with my twin aunties Michelle and Mica. They both were cool. Heron was driving a low rider and James was in the passenger with all red on, Literally!!. Heron put me in his lap and let me hit the switches. They came around for about a half of year, never really seen them Again.
The structure of the 80s taught us respect, loyalty, honor and death before dishonor. Their was a chain of command from top to bottom. Rules of engagement was not to be broken. We carried that thru the 90s but some how... things went left. Salute Big James and Melle Mel. The content is in full motion.
Two legends sitting down and talking real talk, history will remember you well. I hope this is a series of interviews, like you do with OG Bam. Shout out to Big James and Professor Melle Mel
James say he didn't know anyone but before james was doing security showboat from the mob was with suge . Plus james sister said suge always knew bountry . Plus kenny tubbs was around suge and baby biggie who lived opposite suge said suge was claiming mob but wasn't banging hard he was more of a money getter and cj said they only used to go to the football games to watch suge cos he was the homie . So saying he didn't know them before deatbrow is a lie. He knew them all he might not of been banging out there like them but he definitely knew them . I don't understand why people have to try assassinate each others character and lie.on them
Crazy how things come full circle. Seeing James & big homie Mel together is a hell of a blessing. Lord knows it wasn't always this way. These guys are the guys me & mine would emulate. Their strength, values, realness. The rule book is slightly different these days. As I always say: 1 Love to all the big homies from the Watson, Benson & Caldwell familys. Willow Av fa death.
Yeah, just look at Vlad's interview with Big U then compare Big U's interview with KevMac....very different when you see one of these gangmembers doing an interview with someone else from that background vs. a journalist.
The essence of transformation is being properly presented in it's highest form any and everybody can change listen to James I feel this brother and love to dialogue with him Compton love my brother Mel great interview
I’ve seen quite a few interviews with Mob James, but this one is by far the realest and most heartfelt I’ve seen from him. He’s never appeared more relaxed and open than this one by Professor Melly Mel.
My cousin Todd is from elm lane. I remember every summer we used to come to Compton from Florida to stay the whole summers from 79 to 83. I remember seeing big James always at lueders park. He had a gheri curl then and he was a lot smaller. He always had a unit on his face. China dogg used to have those Guys boxing and fist fighting under the pavilion over there in lueders park. I remember randy mcquillar, juju, poochie, George, gangsta Nate, Bo jangles a whole lot of them used to hang out there.
The growth is in your face in this interview. Just as plain as day. You have a Mob being interviewed by a Tana. It's a beautiful thang. Thumbs up Mel and James.
I’m so glad you went down a whole different line of questions instead of asking you know just the same old stuff James always talk about like who killed Tupac
RuSpects to Mr James aka Mob James for A Great Interview an 1 of the Best thanks to You Melly Mel. Im Keith Peddler an Im 59 yrs of age. I went trough similar experiences within my own household growing up an it also pushed me to da streetz an made me aspire to be a Serious Beast in da Streetz Gang World from 13 onward an especially once I hit 16yrs of age. Yes Id have to say this is a solid indepth interview with another solid OG Piru Frum Lueders Park Mob. Imagine that A OG SBCC Conducting a Powerful Testimony Interview with A OG Mob Piru. Maturity with Experience Combined brings about A SOLID Look at what Life could be for the youth if they take from this All the positive that manifested in da aftermath of going through the negative. SALUTE Once Again 2 Mob James aka Mr James.
I can only imagine somebody knowing they wife is at the studio, and, like James said, she can’t be extracted 😂😂😂 take the L😂😂😂 or catch hell💯….it’s a cold game
Salute to Big James ...been following this brother every since Bomb First and the 1st Vlad interview proud to see him staying true to his agenda and all the doors that’s opening up for him!!!!
Next get Keefe D I know they say he a snitch but look past that and then interview him to see if and why he snitch and to get some history from him cuz he say he was the king of Compton
I can't wait to Big James aka Mob James movie come out. As I was watching this interview I was thinking his life story would make a classic movie. Glad to hear it's in the works.
When is it ok for black men to grow up and put all that childishness away? 60 yr old men still acting like teenagers. 60 yr old grandfather still claiming a gang! sad
If you watch the documentary with Turtle "I can tear up Leuders Park with this" James would've been right in the thick of it back in that era... Great interview Melly if you look at the history of SBCC and Leuders/MOB this brotherhood and understanding is significant and what we need to see more of for the younger generation
@@alexlyndhurstfreesuge5532 I actually don’t blame you…it’s really the nurses at your care home who should be more responsible in restricting your access to the Internet lol!!!
@@alexlyndhurstfreesuge5532 it’s a shame your dad wasn’t restricted from under age children…Hope your getting help with the trauma…if he had been restricted….your whole life could have taken a completely different trajectory!
To Mr. James McDonald, as a man I salute you for overcoming all of your adversities and for making the decision to help children in many of the same situations you've faced. ✊🏿💪🏿 P.S. I know exactly what that extension cord whipping feels like. 😥
Men in general are not trained to transmute their emotions - black men in particular have no idea, especially those raised in the hood. The prisons and cemeteries are full of souls who had no emotional education or intelligence.
Salute the brother for making a positive transition. That mark CW tried his best to get James out of his character. I know James wanted to whoop that mark I could see it in his eyes lol glad he refrained from choking CW Kermit the frog face ahh out that lame was trying to provoke James so he could call the Jakes
I seen an interview where a Bounty Hunna said Suge played a part in the destruction of the BountyRu alliance..Suge basically had to many reputables from different hoods around
Proud of Mr. McDonald!! He has made a change for the better! Appreciate everything he’s trying to do for the youngsters! Keep it up big bro. Don’t let no one push you off your square! Yesssiiirr!!! Definitely blessed man!! Glad you made it through to be here to tell your story!
That story is from some book. One of the many death row books out there. They all contain information from various sources of insiders so it might be true
This is a prime example of Men from The Hub City showing the world that Men are Men…. No matter what part of the City we’re from….. Love this to life…..
Hell yeah he new it at that time old head new he had to shake the spot Big Ups to Big James on over coming the bullshit and self healing within. Mind body and soul keep living life to the fullest sending prayers always to the Queen Craig and Walter's Mother🙏🏾❤🙏🏾I just ran into Timothy Robinson yesterday
MUCH RESPECT TO MELLE MEL AND JAMES TWO COMPTON LIVING LEGENDS 💪🏾🔵🔴✊🏾
Mellie Mel......I'll say it again...y'all brothers from Santana are uniquely talented....thank you for this...I love James too...never seen him so comfortable talking about his life and such....Phil Donahue work....

🔥🔥🔥 interview man, Mob James is a standup☝️

Cap. Vlad is an originator. Bigg ups to mel but Vlad is the OG
@@destinywilliams3700 originator of what. Cus he aint originate gang history interviews and we need ppl like vlad out of our culture he exploiting it

SOUTHSIDE COMPTON CRIPS CUZZZ💛💙MELLE MEL WAS AROUND BEFORE JAMES CUZZZ FUCK THE MOB CC RIDERSS CUZZZ
This is a better interview than he did on Vlad,I think it's because melle Mel is from the culture
Yeah, just look at Vlad's interview with Big U then compare Big U's interview with KevMac....very different when you see one of these gangmembers doing an interview with someone else from that background vs. a journalist.
The essence of transformation is being properly presented in it's highest form any and everybody can change listen to James I feel this brother and love to dialogue with him Compton love my brother Mel great interview
Indeed champ 💯
Your Kev Mac interview was fire!!!!!
@@bokardithetaomicron4932 thanks

Salute to Big James ...been following this brother every since Bomb First and the 1st Vlad interview proud to see him staying true to his agenda and all the doors that’s opening up for him!!!!
James changed a lot, Charleston White wouldn’t even look Mobb in his eyes had he ran into that version.
Next get Keefe D I know they say he a snitch but look past that and then interview him to see if and why he snitch and to get some history from him cuz he say he was the king of Compton
I wanna see the Keefe D interview when he was on vlad I watched his shit everyday
Not a king of CPT, but he knows a lot and everybody asks only about 2pac, not about southside etc
I can't wait to Big James aka Mob James movie come out. As I was watching this interview I was thinking his life story would make a classic movie. Glad to hear it's in the works.

His mom committed paternity fraud and was the root of the problem with the "dad." Stop giving women, including your moms, a pass for being foul.
Mob James looks like I can smoke the hell out of some Brisket and Ribs.

Bounty Hunter Funk with most Ru's today
We can't blame everything on suge tho he did make black millionaires
I thought James said on Vlad that was his biological father??
James M is now a productive citizen of his environment
Yo.... since his last name is McDonald, I wonder if he kin to KK from Second II None cause KK last name is McDonald too.
Good question
@@MrScrooge1980 yeah. I thought so too.
So Long Buddy...Savage
Class act and a man's man! James! I watch anything with James speaking
@Dahoodpostman & James that was a dope ass interview hoodpostman keep it up and them coming.. All Praises Allah
I remember when melle mel 1st started his page now look at it
two rival gang members sitting together in peace for compton
Hurry up with the book James, go in there like u did for those ruthless contracts and it will be done! 🤣🤣
The reason he could hang out was because of his mother and father his father wouldn't allow that
mob james has comptonmade apparel respect.
He doesn't want to be known as mob James cause he's not mob anymore after buntry got killed
bust ya lip, compton crip♠️
