Yeah, so what you do is you take all those CDs that are manufactured, you dump them in the bay in Santa Monica.

But to the bank, they're thinking, oh, wow, talk to Cobra at a nightclub.

How's that album coming along?

We've got an underground banger.

We're really popular in Japan.

I bet you are, cocksucker.

And so that's how the early genesis of the hip-hop industry was used.

Basically, there was a lot more albums sold as phantom sales than legitimate sales.

Well, that changed in 93 with The Chronic.

And so that summer of 93, I was in a trafficking relationship with an Israeli national.

He wasn't a part of the Israeli organized crime syndicate.

He just happened to be a guy who was an Israeli.

Well, he had a relationship with an individual who was a sound engineer at Westwood One.

Westwood One was the company out of Los Angeles that provided the sound and stage equipment for all the big concerts.

So, you know, when U2 played in L.A.

or Pearl Jam or Nirvana, all the big bands coming through, they'd use that.

That company would have the contract to provide the equipment.

Well, the sound engineers for Westwood One would record the shows.

No, he didn't.

No, you're talking about the drug smuggling operation that's using death row artists as a pretext to move the load.
