Ike whupped Anna Mae so bad she went and changed races on his ass. She went from a black woman married to a black man to a Cherokee woman shacking up with a white man. That's some hardcore for your ass.

We need an Ike Turner beat down thread stat! That way we can talk about all the ways Ike beat Tina down. Should be good for about 7 pages.

I don't care if this sounds racist but listening to James speak he sounds absolutely nuts. Chuck has perfect elocution so I don't fear him, he sounds like my accountant. Ike I'm not sure of, he sounds a little crazy but no where near in the neighbourhood of Mr. Brown.

So, based on my flawless formula that poor speech = "which mofo did you NOT want to mess with at ALL?" James is the "winner" followed by Ike with Chuck being the least threatening.

Make sure you don't turn on a TV program that Elvis doesn't like, especially if Englebert Humperdink is on it.

We're only talking about OG's pre 197os thugs in this thread. No newbies.

Jelly Roll Morton

Jelly Roll Morton

That's what he looked like? Looks like he should be tending to rose gardens or something. Nothing at all intimidating in this photo.

His name is Jelly Roll, for God's sake. How scary can he be? Also, he don't look like he would hurt a fly. Was he half white?

What is a violent person supposed to look like? Adolph Hitler doesn't look like he'd hurt anybody. Neither does John Denver, but he beat his wife.

I beg to differ. Both Hitler and Denver look crazy as hell and like they would put the beat down on Mother Theresa if she talked greasy to them. Never trust a man with a postage stamp mustache or a blonde bob with glasses.

Denver, behind those glasses, didn't look right.

I know nothing about Jelly Roll, so I don't know if he was violent or not, but he looks soft to me.

What about Martin Luther King Jr? It's been said he beat up prostitutes.

Story is that James threw Tammi Terrell down a flight of stairs !!!! and shot at Joe Tex in a crowed night club. Chuck seemed okay as long as you left his money alone.

Yes and the FBI did not notice

Jelly Roll was a jazz and ragtime musician. He was also a pimp and gambler.

Two rumors I've never believed:

1) MLK beat up hookers (and cheated on his wife with hookers)

2) Malcom was a gay hooker

That is just meant to destroy the reputations of black civil rights leaders.

But I will say this....I wouldn't want to anger Malcom because he was from the streets and could fight and I wouldn't want to anger Marvin because I think he could guilt somebody to death.

Laura, what do mean re the FBI and Micky, gambling is one thing-that doesn't imply being an OG. This pimping, thing-you got stories?

Some orger mentioned Tammi getting hit over the head with a frying pan or some other kitchen object. Was this done by James?

I know this is pre 70s but I soooooo want to add Big Pun to the list because nobody, not even a 70s OG was known to pistol whip his wife in front of their kids!!!!! That's just too gangsta!

There's a limit to their crazy, comparing to ol' Phil Spector.

^ that man is so freakin' scary looking to me. He looks like Pee Wee Herman on some meth/wild turkey/heroin/ecstasy combination and topped off with some glue!

Did Sly Stone ever beat anybody?

You saw how surprised she looked when that professor dude said she was 66% black, 33% European and only 1% American Indian?

I gotta find the video.
