I always assumed that Pappy was of JA descent. Interesting that he adopted a rudeboy identity, but the criminal element from Jamaica was NO JOKE and he encountered them in penal system and saw how they got down. When these ex Jamaican gun men started coming to New York, the encounters between them and the local street guys can best be described by paraphrasing The Usual Suspects.
He looked over his family and showed these hardcore ghetto youth what being hardcore ghetto youth really was.
