...beginning of November, a white truck pulled up to the Taiwanese gangster's house. Chen and 24 others were pushed into a tight crawl space under a false floor in the back of the truck. The truck was loaded with grapefruit and driven north into Mexico. "It took 40 hours; we had no water, very little air, lying down all the time. For sure if it had lasted even another hour or two, I would have suffocated," says Chen. "By then I was more scared of dying than of being caught and sent back." Lying there, all he could think...

...like "I'll be stashing marijuana/In my Dolce & Gabbana" from "What They Call Me" and "Best believe where I'm going you a goner/I spit more rhymes than silicone in California" from "Straight Spittin', Part II."

The gang is a boneyard of Mafia dinosaurs in North Jersey (Tony Soprano's turf). They stare numbly at old cartoons and are months behind in the rent for their clubhouse. Next to them, Ghost Dog (Forest Whitaker) is both modern and ageless. His cyber-age artillery and acute aim make him the ideal hit man. Between gigs he plays hip-hop CDs in whatever car he has stolen...
