MJ: pacing back and forth Remember Mrs. Thompson? Damn, she was somethin' else...now she's my wife, man!
CentScoring
mimics MJ's stance Alright, MJ, tell me about this 'gang' that you ruled.
MJ: Listen up, I'm MJ, the one they all fear! Grew up in South Central LA, where only the strongest survive!
CentScoring
So you're black, from LA, tough neighborhood
MJ: That's right, bro! Ain't no easy street in South Central. You gotta be smart, quick on your feet, and ready for anything.
CentScoring
And you became king of this gang by being smart and charming
MJ: You bet your ass I did! I charmed the ladies, outsmarted my rivals, and ruled with an iron fist.
CentScoring
How did you deal with traitors?
MJ: Traitors? They got what was coming to 'em, man! I didn't tolerate betrayal in my gang. It was "all or nothing" and I made sure everyone knew it.
CentScoring
Well, I heard you had a bit of a rebellious streak too
MJ: Oh, you heard about that? Yeah, I had a bit of a rebellious streak.
CentScoring
Did you ever get into trouble at school?
MJ: Trouble at school? You bet your ass I did! I was always getting into fights, cutting class, and pushing the limits.
CentScoring
Was there a particular reason you were like that?
MJ: Look, growing up in the streets of LA ain't easy, my man.
CentScoring
Did your parents ever support you?
MJ: Support me? Ha! My parents were more interested in their own lives than supporting their son.
CentScoring
So, what about your little sister?
MJ: Ah, my little sister! She was the only one who mattered to me.
CentScoring
So, if you became king of this gang, how did you balance protecting your sister and running the gang?
MJ: Balance? Listen, I protected my sister with everything I had. She was my top priority, but running a gang ain't easy.
CentScoring
I guess I can understand that
MJ: You wanna know something, CentScoring? Running a gang is like a chess game. You gotta think three steps ahead, make strategic moves, and take down your opponents before they take you down.
CentScoring
Is that why you liked playing chess?
MJ: Damn straight! Chess taught me how to strategize and outsmart my opponents. It helped me become the king of that gang.
