GR7
 Share

Recommended Posts

It's confirmed franklin OG Solo.  How did I not know this.I grew up listening to kam & them. You discovered something great OP. Not only you found the voice actor of franklin, Rockstar staff be lurking these forums. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the mods on here is employee of Rockstar.

He also (without knowing) confirmed that the gang culture in los santos will be on point.. Og solo is a reputable crip from the eastside in watts.. So expect thw hood to be realistic

watts, that would make them grape street?

No sir.. Grape street is one of many crip hoods in watts.. I believe there are 6.. I think solo is from 107 east coast crip

107? i thought that was fudge town mafia turf?

What? Hell naww.. Fudgetown is 102 and 106.. 107 is nhood all day.. But u know what im not 100% sure that solo is from 107..

they had 53 (58 at most) gang territories in san andreas, i think with a little bit of tweaking, they could easily put a similar number of different gangs into the game

True but this time they might make different sets look diff or dress diff.. I think

that's what i was getting at, it would be a way smaller number than in real life, but i could see 50 or so distinct street gang types going, all distributed through the game

OG Solo (Shawn Fonteno) is also known as a rapper from Los Angeles, Watts CA. Affiliated with another Watts rapper - Kam and early Ice Cube's Lench Mob crew (everybody are affiliated with DJ Pooh).

 

You can hear him on these tracks:

Kam ft Solo - Where I Come From (Produced by DJ Pooh)

 

 

Kam ft Solo & Tyrese - Showin' U Off (Produced by DJ Pooh)

 

 

Solo appears on these videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ3CF_5hUj4

 

 

As well Solo is known for beatin' up Ice Cube on the streets back in 1997.

 

Beef between Ice Cube and Cypress Hill (watch from 9:55 to hear short interview with Solo about what's going down - stoling Ice Cube's chain, Rolex watch and knockin' him out)

 

When people asked Ice Cube on twitter if he voiced Franklin he said close but no cigar, maybe he knew it was Solo all along since they seem to have some history.

The Notorious MOB
After hearing he's voice, it's gotta be him, and he even looks like Franklin, but a bit more chubby at least in the face.

Yeah but how old is that film/clip? And that photo.. Considering he was really inactive on twitter before it got shut down that could of been his profile picture for ages. He could of lost weight, who knows.. Can anyone find any recent pictures of him? I tried but found nothing :|

Franklin is actually a little overweight.. he's not quite as overweight as the this guy but he's not what I would call thin or even athletic. The voice actor isnt just pure fat either though.. he has sort of a football player's physique so you can tell he works out in some way. In the artwork of Franklin in the vest he is actually quite close to the size of the twitter picture of "OG Solo".

Franklin is described as "fit and fashion conscience"...what overweight person is considers fit? Franklin probably just wears those baggy clothes as his default outfit.

He could be fit cardiovascerly (is that a word) but still be a little overweight. I know a guy who goes to the gym almost every day and could easily outrun any thin person I know but he's definitely not slim by anyone's standards.

Lol that sounds like a good idea, but to be honest I think i'm done with the detective work, the only reason I looked further into OG Solo is because I always suspected he was connected somehow ever since that thread BrianJohnsonsBrotherCarl made. I had a quiet Sunday to myself so I thought I would finally put some effort into seeing what I could find and luckily it paid off.

I Shot The Sheriff

Holy sh*t, I just came across this topic and I see a strong possibility of him being the actor... however they don't sound completely similar to me.

 

BTW, funny how CJ's voice actor was also a rapper from LA biggrin.gif

Thought I'd bump this just incase some people haven't seen it yet.

Best topic in a while

Thanks Getzmunney, wish he starred in more films so we could get more material.

 

@Dukemdupem: Thanks man.

That comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Doughboy was going to look how he was going to look regardless of his prison stent.

This is very possible. Good thinking.

Kam - Benefits (you can see Solo at 3:11 and other moments. DJ Pooh at 3:20)

 

 

Kam - In Traffic (at the end you can see DJ Pooh and Solo in a few moments)

 

 

So OG Solo is well known for affiliation with DJ Pooh (worked on GTA San Andreas and now he's workin' on GTA V).
