Harry Billups, the godparent to LAPD Officer David Mack’s two children, has been identified by several sources as the trigger man,” the formal FBI request written by Carson, acquired by The New York Post, read. “Mack is a registered owner of a 1995 Black SS Impala with chrome wheels, the exact description given as being driven by Wallace’s shooter.”   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 00:00 – Intro 01:30 – The investigation stemming from Voletta’s lawsuit 15:07 – The Rampart Investigation 25:30 – Diddy did it 31:27 – They’re actually still alive, living somewhere else   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.

After the release of his debut album, "Ready to Die," in 1994, Biggie's life and career experienced significant changes. "Ready to Die" was a massive success, both critically and commercially. It established Biggie as a central figure in the East Coast hip-hop scene. The album’s singles, including "Juicy," "Big Poppa," and "One More Chance," became defining tracks of the era. In 1995, Biggie formed the group Junior M.A.F.I.A., which included friends and fellow rappers from his Brooklyn neighborhood. Their debut album, "Conspiracy," was released the same year, featuring hits like "Get Money" and "Player's Anthem." Biggie's rise coincided with the intensifying East Coast-West Coast hip-hop rivalry. His former friend Tupac Shakur became his notable rival, exacerbated by media and personal conflicts. Biggie worked on his second album, "Life After Death," which showcased his growth as an artist. Scheduled for release in March 1997, it featured hits like "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems." On March 9, 1997, Biggie was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. His murder remains unsolved, adding to the mystique and tragedy surrounding his life and career. His death occurred just weeks before the release of "Life After Death." "Life After Death" debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was certified Diamond, solidifying Biggie's status in music history. Posthumous releases, including "Born Again" (1999) and "Duets: The Final Chapter" (2005), continued to celebrate his artistry. Biggie's storytelling ability, lyrical prowess, and unique flow left an indelible mark on hip-hop. He influenced countless artists and is often cited as one of the greatest rappers of all time. His life and death have been the subject of numerous documentaries, films, and books, contributing to his enduring legacy. His persona and music continue to resonate with fans worldwide. Biggie has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2020) and continues to be celebrated through tributes and acknowledgments in popular culture. Biggie Smalls' short but impactful career left a lasting legacy that continues to influence the music industry and popular culture to this day.   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 00:00 – Intro 04:36 – Baby shower recap 06:14 – Recap Part 1 Biggie Smalls 12:01 – Ready to Die 24:12 – Faith Evans 28:28 – Other collaborations 31:26 – Biggie and Tupac 49:18 – Biggie makes “Life After Death” 54:55 – “Life After Death” is wrapped up, the crew heads for California 01:02:28 – The party at the Peterson Automotive Museum   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana   Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.

Biggie’s early career was marked by collaborations with friends and fellow artists. He formed the group Junior M.A.F.I.A. (Masters At Finding Intelligent Attitudes), which included childhood friends like Lil’ Kim and Lil’ Cease. The group played a significant role in Biggie’s rise to fame, adding to the East Coast hip-hop scene’s growing influence.

In an early morning interview, James Gladwish had a conversation with Dana Truppiana surrounding topics such as Lucky Luciano, the hit of Joe “The Boss” Masseria, the hit of Stefano Maranzano, and the building of the Commission.

Few figures personify the complex intersection of art, activism, and American social history as poignantly as Tupac Amaru Shakur (1971-1996). In just twenty-five years, Shakur produced a body of music, poetry, film, and public commentary that continues to reverberate through popular culture and politics. This report examines four interconnected dimensions of his life—childhood, education, musical career, and accomplishments—in order to illuminate both the man and the enduring mythos he inspired. Born Lesane Parish Crooks on 16 June 1971 in East Harlem, New York City, he was renamed Tupac Amaru Shakur a year later after the 18th-century Peruvian revolutionary Túpac Amaru II. Tupac’s Professional Debut with Digital Underground was as a dancer and roadie, quickly being promoted to feature verses (“Same Song”). Touring logistics, studio protocol, and stagecraft served as an informal graduate program in hip-hop performance. His Solo Breakthrough—2Pacalypse Now (1991) featured themes of police brutality (“Trapped”), teen pregnancy (“Brenda’s Got a Baby”), and systemic racism. Vice President Dan Quayle condemned the album after a Texas youth cited its lyrics in a murder defense, inadvertently boosting sales and spotlight. Sparse, funk-driven beats underscored by raw, journalistic storytelling. Me Against the World debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 while Shakur was incarcerated, making him the first artist to achieve that milestone from behind bars. Tupac balanced “thug life” bravado (“If I Die 2Nite”) with vulnerable introspection (“Dear Mama”), showcasing multifaceted masculinity rarely seen in rap at the time. His next album, Commercial Apex—All Eyez on Me (1996) came when Tupac was fresh out of prison on a $1.4 million bail posted by Death Row Records’ CEO Suge Knight. This is one of the first mainstream hip-hop double albums; certified Diamond (10 million U.S. units) in 2014. This album had a feeling of G-funk bounce, aggressive synthesizers, and layered vocal hooks (“California Love,” “How Do U Want It”). In Tupac’s Acting Career, he starred in movies such as Juice (1992), Poetic Justice (1993), Above the Rim (1994), Bullet (1996), and Gridlock’d (released 1997). Roger Ebert praised his “natural charisma” and “layered vulnerability,” hinting at untapped dramatic potential. Together with Mutulu Shakur and others, Tupac drafted a 26-point charter aimed at reducing violence among young Black men. He funded after-school arts programs, donated to charities like A Place Called Home in South-Central L.A., and financed funerals for victims of inner-city violence. In interviews and college panels, he challenged government policies on mass incarceration and welfare.   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 00:00 – Intro 01:21 – Recap of Part 1 02:53 – SA charges & Quad Studios incident 13:51 – Keisha Morris will always be “Mrs. Shakur” 18:23 – Robbery at Keisha’s apartment 20:33 – Who is Suge Knight? 34:39 – Tupac signs with Death Row Records 46:45 – The beef extends to the streets   Tupac Links: Black Panther Party Poster to raise funds to release Panther 21 https://www.theguardian.com/artanddes...

This attack, which severely damaged the US Pacific Fleet, led to the US declaration of war on Japan and the subsequent entry of the United States into World War II. The war in the Pacific involved intense battles, including naval engagements, island-hopping campaigns, and eventually, the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which forced Japan's surrender in September 1945.   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana   Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.

Watch Part 1 here: Secrets, power, and brutality: Explore the Yakuza empire under the iron fist of Kazuo Taoka - Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRDx1p06DHg   Japanese gangsters, members of what are formally called bōryokudan (“violence groups”), or Mafia-like criminal organizations. In Japan and elsewhere, especially in the West, the term yakuza can be used to refer to individual gangsters or criminals as well as to their organized groups and to Japanese organized crime in general. Yakuza adopt samurai-like rituals and often bear elaborate body tattoos. They engage in extortion, blackmail, smuggling, prostitution, drug trafficking, gambling, loan sharking, day-labor contracting, and other rackets and control many restaurants, bars, trucking companies, talent agencies, taxi fleets, factories, and other businesses in major Japanese cities. They are also involved in criminal activities worldwide. Taoka Kazuo (born March 28, 1912, Sanshōmura, Japan—died July 30, 1981, Amagasaki) was Japan’s major crime boss (oyabun), who, after World War II, rose to head a giant crime organization, the Yamaguchi-gumi. Though centered in Kōbe, it had interests and affiliates nationwide and consisted of more than 10,000 members (known as yakuza) divided into more than 500 bands. Kazuo Taoka was born to a poor farm family in a village on the island of Shikoku; his father died before Taoka was born, and his mother died when he was four years old. Raised by relatives, he left school in his early teens and in 1929 began associating with yakuza gangs in Kōbe; in the early 1930s he became an apprentice and then a member of Yamaguchi-gumi. During World War II the organization fell apart; Taoka restored it in the postwar years and made it into a giant cartel, dealing in extortion, labor racketeering, gambling, prostitution, loansharking, smuggling, show business, and other enterprises both legal and illegal. Ideologically he was ultra-rightist and ultra-nationalistic.   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 0:00 – Intro 01:07 – Part 1 Recap 07:14 – Being ‘made’ into the Yakuza 09:53 – Murder charges 16:07 – Kazuo Taoka takes over the Yamaguchi Gumi 18:27 – Kazuo meets Fumiko 30:11 – Labor Unions 33:06 – The jobs the government gave to the Yakuza 35:34 – The legit jobs of Taoka 36:43 – The expansion of the Yamaguchi-Gumi 39:32 – The Castellammarese-like war that broke out in the Yamaguchi Gumi 45:30 – Kazuo Taoka is attacked 52:59 – The time in the Yamaguchi-Gumi after Kazuo Taoka   Links: Kazuo Taoka funeral: https://rumble.com/vutxof-kazuo-taoka-funeral-japan-yakuza-crime-syndicate.html https://www.britishpathe.com/asset/237284/ https://s1.thcdn.com/design- assets/documents/arrowfilms/Cops%20vs%20Thugs.pdf https://www.reddit.com/r/Mafia/comments/1dnasg1/kazuo_taoka_19131981_the_godfather_of_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/178cr3u/yamaguchigumi_leader_kazuo_taoka_third_from_the/ https://www.tokyocowboy.co/articles/yama-ichi-koso-kansais-bloody-yakuza-war https://www.crimelibrary.org/gangsters_outlaws/gang/yakuza/3.html https://alchetron.com/Kazuo-Taoka https://www.eluniversal.com/sucesos/193789/sombras-del-mal-el-padrino-de-la-yakuza   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.

He was the longest tenured boss in the history of the American Mafia. Magaddino was also involved in national La Cosa Nostra affairs. Magaddino was a charter member of Charles "Lucky" Luciano's Mafia Commission and attended important underworld summits such as the 1946 Havana Conference and the 1957 Apalachin Conference. It is believed Magaddino, along with Antonio and Johnny Papalia played a role in notorious Hamilton bootlegger Rocco Perri's disappearance in 1944, to gain more Canadian market control. Although fairly popular, Magaddino had enemies and survived several assassination attempts. In 1936, rival gangsters attempted to kill Magaddino with a bomb, killing his sister instead. In 1958, an assassin tossed a hand grenade through his kitchen window, which failed to explode. This second attempt on his life was said to be directed by mobsters who blamed Magaddino for the failed Apalachin Meeting, which was raided by New York State Police. Magaddino had never spent any significant time in prison, but in 1968, he and his son Peter were arrested and charged with interstate bookmaking. A raid on his son's home in Niagara Falls led to the discovery of approximately $473,134 in a suitcase. This created great animosity between the Buffalo family members and the Magaddinos, and led to a breakdown of their cooperation concerning criminal activities. The Buffalo family split into dissident factions; the leaders met in Rochester at the end of 1968, and by early 1969 ousted Magaddino as boss, leaving him to lead a faction made up of his once powerful in-laws and older crime family members, from 1969 until he died several years later. Stefano Magaddino died of a heart attack on July 19, 1974 at age 82 at Mount Saint Mary's Hospital in Lewiston, New York. His funeral mass was celebrated at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church and he was buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls.   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 00:00 – Intro 05:40 – Recap on the series 13:00 – The Apalachin Meeting 14:01 – The French Connection 16:09 – End of recap, more on the Papalia-Agueci Network 23:11 - *TRIGGER WARNING* skip this chapter if you do not do well with explicit reiterations of crimes 25:08 – End of trigger warning, back to Alberto Agueci 27:21 – Fred Randaccio takes over Buffalo 28:44 – Stefano Magaddino’s paranoia 31:09 – The fake Stefano Magaddino v Joseph Bonanno feud 37:28 – Magaddino’s role in the mafia 40:17 – Charges start coming down 47:08 – Tullah Hanley 54:26 – The charges came until the end   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana   Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.

After Prohibition ended, Magaddino and his crime family made their money by means of loan sharking, illegal gambling, extortion, carjacking and labor racketeering, as well as other legitimate lucrative businesses such as linen service businesses that served the needs of most of the hotels located throughout the region, taxicab companies, and other service-oriented businesses. Magaddino's crime family held power in the underworld territories of Upstate and Western New York, namely, Buffalo, New York, bordering Canada and situated on Lake Erie, Rochester and Utica, along the Mohawk River as far east as Amsterdam, New York; from Eastern Pennsylvania as far west as Youngstown, Ohio, and in Canada from Fort Erie (opposite Buffalo) to Toronto, Ontario and as far east as Montreal, Quebec. By the 1960s, it was reported that Magaddino's crime syndicate supplied drugs to the Canadian cities of Hamilton and Guelph, which in turn supplied drugs to Toronto. Magaddino led his Buffalo family through its glory years and its most powerful and profitable era. He was an old-style boss who preferred to stay in the background and not draw any attention to himself or his criminal activities if possible. Due to his territory's remoteness yet the vast amount of it he controlled and being geographically insulated from the inter-family squabbles of the New York City-based families, he was held in high regard and was at times called upon to be an arbiter involving territorial disputes between crime families based there   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 00:00 – Intro & recap 07:00 – What really happened on the “Night of the Sicilian Vespers” 16:59 – Joe DiCarlo and his short stint as Underboss of the Buffalo Crime Family 19:20 – John Montana 20:12 – Joe Bonanno and Stefano Magaddino 21:16 – The Appalachian meeting 26:33 – The Papalia – Agueci Network   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana   Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.

Hounded by the FBI for decades, such as in 1970 when he was indicted for masterminding a major East Coast burglary ring, the government never nailed him. He was known for offering arresting FBI agents coffee and dessert at his home before they took him in for booking. Two years later, in 1972, Gambino’s 30-year-old nephew Manny was kidnapped and murdered by an Irish Mob crew led by James “Jimmy from Queens” McBratney. The Irish hoodlums had been kidnapping Italian Mafiosi and extorting six-figure cash ransoms for their release for more than a year when they grabbed the younger Gambino. Demanding swift vengeance, Gambino called on John Gotti, then an up-and-comer in the ranks of his crime family and the protégé of his underboss Neil Dellacroce. Gotti, his best friend Angelo “Fat Angie” Ruggiero and another wiseguy named Ralph “Ralphie Wigs” Galione gunned down McBratney in a Staten Island tavern in May 1973. They all eventually were convicted and imprisoned for the crime. Carlo Gambino battled health problems in his later years, finally succumbing to heart disease on October 15, 1976, at his Long Island waterfront home. Before dying, Gambino controversially bypassed his No. 2 in charge, Dellacroce, in favor of his brother-in-law Castellano, a more corporate-style goodfella, leaving his syndicate on shaky ground in subsequent years. Dellacroce’s death from lung cancer in early December 1985 and Castellano’s decision to skip his underboss’s wake brought about a Gambino clan coup, in which Dellacroce’s pupil, Gotti, staged the murder of Castellano and his right-hand man, Tommy Bilotti, on a crowded Manhattan street in front of the popular Sparks Steak House and grabbed control of the crime family by force. The title character in the most critically acclaimed Mob movie of all time, The Godfather, was inspired in part by Carlo Gambino. More than 40 years after Gambino’s death, the New York crime family is still named for him. Although decimated by the federal crackdown during the Gotti era, the Gambino family is still involved in various criminal activities in Brooklyn and Staten Island.   ⏳𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ⏳ 00:00 – Recap of last episode 02:53 – Intro 04:42 – The charges go on and on… and on. 24:26 – The plot against Carlo Gambino and Tommy Lucchese a la Joseph Bonanno 26:18 – Brothers become brother-cousins 27:16 – The effect of newspaper articles on people’s lives 28:23 – The modern day Ruggieros and Scottos 32:20 – John J “Red” Kelley 35:10 – Emmanuel “Manny” Gambino   🍁 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 🍁 🔔 For collaboration or promotion opportunities: Email: danatruppianamobtimes@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/danatruppiana Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.

He was leery of the long sentences they could incur for drug offenses, which could provide reason for them to cooperate with authorities. He preferred instead to stick to traditional Mob rackets such as bookmaking, loansharking, hijacking and extortion, as well as maintaining as much a presence as possible in the labor unions.

In the 1930s, Gambino was convicted of running an illegal liquor still and served almost two years in federal prison, the last time he would ever serve time behind bars.
