    This is pretty accurate. Gangsta Boo ran with Tommy too before linking up with Paul. I’m sure a lot of people are surprised both of his parents are deaf.

    Tommy Wright has since started putting out some music, mostly he's touring, his live shows are insane, in some ways he's been "adopted" by the punk scene, skater punks especially, so he often tours alongside punk/hardcore bands.

    You left out the part where tammy wright stole the manson family name while lil jack was in jail, didnt pay artists, or that he started dissing lord infamous after he got him started, & continuing to do so even after his death in a vain attempt to become relevant. Calling him a pioneer is laughable. He never originated anything.

      Not a surprise since he dissed Eazy despite being influenced by NWA. Come on, dissing Eazy and Infamous after their deaths when he never met one of them and the other provided support early in his career. The dude is talented without a doubt but shutting in deadmen for hype is wack and disrespectful af

The only time I recall TWIII dissing Eazy E was when he was dissing Bone, Thugs, n Harmony in Thuggish Ruggish Bustas, where he said that he hoped that BT&H get AIDS and die like Eazy E did (with Eazy E being BT&H former manager). Was there a time TWIII dissed Eazy E directly?
