LMAO at the mental image of a middle-aged lawyer and celebrities like Hammer and Pac jumping him in.  :laugh:

Great interview man. Thanks for doing what you do.

He was just saying that they were there. It doesn't mean that everyone he named was throwing punches.

Why?  It's not hard to understand.  If it was hard to understand for you, assuming you're talking about the second interview, just to recap:

He said that around the time Dre left but before it was widely known within the Death Row camp, Sam Sneed had offered some beats to Pac verbally, but shortly afterward, there was a Death Row meeting where Sneed was called out.  Suge asked a variety of artists there if Sneed had given them beats or asked them to be in his music video, and everyone said no, from the major artists to the smaller ones.  He did remark on how he thought it was weird how Pac didn't say anything, even though Sneed had offered him beats.

The stuff about Dre being gay was kind of perpetuated when Michel'le mentioned in a Death Row meeting that she had called Dre's house and a guy answered (Bruce, who was a male stripper or something who Dre had met) and said he was "in bed" and handed the phone right over to Dre.

When asked, he said that Pac was for sure a Blood "in the end" or something like that, even specifically mentioning that he was "Mob, M.O.B."

He talked about getting jumped in, but he said he wasn't really expecting it.  It was in their Cabo trip (which he said was celebrating Snoop's trial outcome where they also happened to film Danny Boy's Slip N Slide video), though he said they all got in cars and drove out to somewhere relatively unpopulated after a night of heavy drinking, then Suge called him out and said how he was "family" and that he had been rolling with Death Row for a while.  Before he knew it, he was getting rat-packed, though it was over fairly quickly and he got up from the ground, though he was unfazed, then officially a Mob Piru member and welcomed by Suge.

He described David Kenner as being quiet but having a mobster-like presence, but he was kind of a "mousy" guy or something like that.  He did point out that Kenner was present when he got jumped in.

He didn't talk about the role of those named Mob Pirus, but he just said how they were really cool guys who didn't immediately come off as being affiliated but kicked it at the studio.

The Death Row Violations were supposedly always deserved and not necessarily just them picking on someone just to feel powerful.  He mentioned that Suge really disliked people in the crew basically acting like male groupies, like if they try to mingle with another crew just for the sake of being close to certain people (rather than it happening naturally and just becoming cool and that person "gravitating" toward you) or if celebrities came through.  He pointed out that Pac and Hammer participated every now and then in giving some beatdowns (including his own jump-in in Cabo along with another violation beatdown that same night).
