These guys got Busta Rhymes, Old Dirty Bastard, Foxy Brown
and ain't no telling who else. Here's an excerpt from the book
Notorious C.O.P detailing the whole syndicate.
By 2001, it was open season on rappers. It was possibly the worst epidemic of hip-hop crime yet, and this time, the rot was coming from the inside.Indeed, no rapper was safe on the streets, as I learned when I commenced on what would eventually be known as the Commission Case. It was labeled "Commission" because of some crucial ling dropped in the jailhouse confession that got the case rolling. The case involved an organized band of individuals allegedly performing robberies on rappers, which frequently escalated to violence. This crew was known alternately as G-Squad, or BGS(for Brevoort G-Squad); however, this grimy group of Brooklyn thugs was best known on the streets and to law enforcement simply as the Commission, a name taken fromm the crew's slang--as in "I'm going to go out and commission shit," as if each robbery was a commissioned job. What was interesting about the case was that not only did it include big names from the rap game, it also concerned future hip-hop idols who hadn't yet graduated from the school of hard knocks into fame...The boys in the Commission crew---many of them just high school age--were an all-star team of junior criminals culled from Brooklyn's most dangerous housing projects. At first, the Commission acted mostly as boosters, stealing from big-name stores and then reselling the loot on Brooklyn's inner-city blocks. Working New York City, Gotham's Westchester suburbs, and neighboring New Jersey.The commision was headed up by a guy we'll call Da Kommander. Barely into his twenties at the time, Da Kommander would hang out at housing project basketball tournaments, where he'd recruit and meet potential Commission members, who spanned the diaspora of Crooklyn's crime--riddled housing projects: these children of the streets hailed variously from the Pink Houses in East New York, the Red Hook Projects, Seflow in Brownsville, Fort Greene's Ingersoll Houses, Tompkins, Summer, and the infamous Brevoort superstar Fabolous, who was known back then as Fabolous Sport, also came up in the Brevoort projects; interestingly, several of the Commission members reported knowing Fab back in the day.Suddenly, many of my unsoved cases involving high-profile hip-hop stars began solving themselves as new Commission connections were revealed in the group's interrogations, including the shooting and robbery involving Ol' Dirty Bastard. According to D-Mac's confession, he and Da Kommander robbed Wu-Tang's madman rhymer, with D-Mac serving as the accidental triggerman. This was corrobated by interviews with other Commission members. "[Da Kommander] told me that he saw ODB go through the projects in a [Infiniti QX4 SUV]," Booney explained. "ODB has family in the projects, and when he went to his family's apartment, [Da Kommander] and [D-Mac] went to get guns from [Da Kommander's] house."Once fully strapped, the pair discovered that gaining access to ODB was easier than expected: according to Booney, when Da Kommander knocked on the apartment door. "someone answered and they bum-rushed in. ODB was asleep on the couch. They smacked him to wake him up; he said he wasn't giving up [his] chain so they shot him twice. They took his rings, money and his keys to the [SUV], and sold his jewelry."Soon after, I attempted to contact Ol' Dirty Bastard (real name: Russel Jones) to corroborate the Commission's confessions. Simpson's victorious defense counsel), it was arranged that I would speak to ODB on November 3, 1999, at the Target Program Rehab Center, a rehab program run by the L.A. county sheriff's office where he was sent on court order.In my interview with him, ODB was very open and appeared sober, even though he kept drifting in and out of lucidity. Despite his outfit of drab insstitutional coveralls, ODB's manic charisma shone through whenever he opened his mouth to flash his full mouthful of gold fronts. Accompanying me was an F.B.I agent Christin Howard, from Kendall Hobson's violent gang squad; ODB kept telling Christine she was the most beautiful F.B.I agent he'd ever seen.We didnt get a lot of of ODB, but he was pleasant enough to deal with. ODB was most helpful in corroborating the events of the robbery and going over details: he stated to me that he was at his cousin's apartment on Ralph Avenue when the robbery took place. ODB was lying in bed asleep when he awoke to a black male with a ski mask slapping him and pointing a gun at his face; he assured it was just some street guys who got the drop on him, which was pretty much the case...As ODB and his assailant struggled with the gun, the rapper noticed another man standing behind him, also wearing a ski mask; he described the first of his assailants as six feet one inch, dark -skinned with a thin build, and wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, while the other was shorter, around five feet nine inches, with a medium build and brown skin.The first assailant, who I wold learn was Da Kommander, demeanded ODB's link chain necklace and the other jewelry he was wearing. The rapper finally complied and gave up his $10,000 chain, but D-Mac shot him anyway: ODB recalled taking a bullet in the arm and a slug ripping through his back. When the assault was over and his robbers long gone, ODB drove himself to St. John's Hospital, where he received treatment for his injuries.D-Mac later confessed to his involvement in Ol' Dirty Bastard's shooting and robbery after he was areested by Housing Gang Unit: he was picked up on an open warrant for a robbery in the 5th Precinct. I found D-Mac's account chilling and cold-blooded."I robbed that man-----we needed the money," D-Mac explained. "It was me and [Da Kommander]. We were hanging outh smoking blunts and I saw ODB come into the building and go into this apartment on the first floor. Some crack lady went to get him beers: I asked her what she was doing with all those [forties] and she said it was for ODB! We went back to [Da Kommander's] house and got ski masks; one of the masks were red and the other was black. We went to the apartment and saw someone, a female, come out; she left the door open, so we went in."I had a loaded black 9mm[on me]," D-Mac continued. "Inside, ODB was asleep. [Da Kommander] slapped him and said 'Get up!' ODB jumped up and tried to grab the gun, and the gun went off. We were about to leave and ODB said, 'Here, take it! Take the jewelry--just dont kill me.' I thought it would be too hot to take because po po would be around because of the shooting. But we took the gold chain and the ring and hid behind the building on a roof." The next day, Da Kommander and D-Mac went to a pawnshop on Pitkin Avenue and sold Ol' Dirty Bastard's jewelry for five hundred dollars, splitting the money.
