One of the things is that the good intentions of Prohibition, from reading over the years and from becoming obsessed with the research of gangs in New York City, seems to have allowed crime figures at the time, like Luciano, Capone, Torrio and Rothstein, to organize to become more powerful, which pulled all the way through until the '70s.
They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone.
How many gangsters you know, from Al Capone up to John Gotti, been gay?
If I didn't start singing in the cabarets and on my albums, I could have never even tried something like 'Capone.'
Gangsta to us didn't have anything to do with Al Capone and stuff like that. It's just about living your life the way you want to live it. And you're not going to let nothing stop you.
