Bill Courtney discussed the infamous Supreme Team's intricate operations and brutal tactics during the crack era. According to Courtney, federal estimates indicated that the gang made millions annually, largely from their crack trade in Queens. The gang's founder, Supreme, initially pled out to a conspiracy charge, passing leadership to his nephew, Prince, whose real name was Gerald Miller. Under Prince's leadership, the gang grew increasingly violent, murdering Colombian drug dealers and employing ruthless tactics that attracted significant legal attention. This ultimately led to their downfall, as various members, including Prince, were apprehended. Despite Supreme's eventual release, the world had changed, and the hip-hop scene was evolving. Nonetheless, Supreme's name continued to command respect, while Prince was recognized for his unrelenting brutality. Courtney recounted bizarre admiration from industry figures, highlighting the complex legacy of both men.
