Richie Rich on Participating in the Crack Trade when it First Hit Oakland in the 80s (Part 1)
ONN – Richie Rich started out this clip by speaking about growing up in Oakland in the 1970’s and 80’s. He explained that he had a stable home life with both parents, and he remembers seeing crack for the first time in the mid-80’s. When asked about getting involved with selling, Richie explained that like most people, he started out with weed and later moved to crack. He also spoke about knowing former kingpins Lil D and Felix Mitchell, which you can hear more about above.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
