this is actually an interesting question.
LARRY HOOVER
Larry Hoover was the leader of a group called the Gangster Disciples which is sort of like the Nation of Islam in that they mixed islamic religious principles with dealing drugs and other related mafia type activity.
The islamic religion is VERY good for training fighters. It is interesting to see parallels between how islam is used for Jihadi groups (ISIS, Al Quaeda) outside the US and drug dealing gangs inside the US like Nation of Islam and Gangster Disciples. [I wonder it there could be a common thread in who is creating these groups????]
This islamic religion is also uniquely suited to dealing drugs because it requires that you not become intoxicated which is essential to success when dealing with things like crack and heroin.
So Larry Hover ran a nationwide drug distribution network and his associates and proteges in places like Houston, Atlanta, and New Orleans got into Hip Hop as a legit business and so you see a lot of people in the hip hop industry advocating for him and he has a lot of respect because these people got very rich and powerful following his teachings.
The reason he is in SuperMax banned from outside contact is because he most definitely knows who is really at the top of the drug distribution networks in the US. He is more-or-less a hostage who is kept alive and in prison to keep other people from speaking out too publicly about what they know and as a threat to anybody who would dare do it.
