This is facts. Jim had zero street rep coming up. He wasn't a money getter, he wasn't a shooter, a robber, nothing. Not saying he wasn't in the streets, but he definitely wasn't a known entity.
He started running with Bloods, and he was paying like he weighs and still does. He was getting herbed left and right before that. Junior Mafia was violated him every time he ran into them. Nut (RIP) from Brooklyn violated him in the Tunnel and them Murder Unit nikkas had to save him.
Even after he was protected, he still got violated. Mendencee had that nikka ducking under cars running out the projects...
Some of them nikkas around Dipset was tough tho...
