^Freako was supposed to be in the Mob Figaz. Dre helped them come up by putting them on a grip of his albums and compilations, Signing Ridah to thizz, The Mob Figaz were all over both treal TV dvds. From what I heard Thizz signed all of the mob figaz as solo acts at one time or another, i heard that shit in a C-Bo interview that was on he siccness awhile ago. Ap aint small time in the bay area rap scene, I mean he aint on the level of Mac Dre and E-40 and Short but as far as people who are up on the underground everyone knows who the Mob Figaz are. I dont really know if its like an official thing but I always heard that AP was the leader of the Mob Figaz.
I'm trying to make a federal case out of it if i'm wrong on some of my points its whatever, I just dont think AP or any of the Figz are small time in the bay area rap scene. They are in the upper catigory, small time would be like one of the no name groups on thizz or someone like Ziggity.
