Because he stopped being an ass?

The correct answer is because he died. All that is left are memories. 

What do you mean Rossi?

This is productive.

Kuku is a troll, and quite good at it - sometimes. He will often talk about controversial things in order to get a rise out of the crowd, or he will respond with jabs and pokes at those who come out in order to offend them.

He used to do it a lot. He doesn't do it as much. Therefore, not as famous.

Good to see you fucking with the new ones Kuku.

For those of you saying "you haven't done anything" "you've never been a CL" etc.. He is before your time, he did not gain his notoriety by leading cities. He gained it by pissing people off.

I'm slightly offended for you Kuku, that entire legend you thought you had built and here it is being questioned.. Better drop some knowledge on these peasants.

But, GreatWhiteNorth, Kuku *was* a CL, *did* lead cities.

But that's not what brought the lineage fame.  That came later, 

The fame game is not the same.  And that is a shame.  But how can one reclaim?

I will say Kuku your presence has been missed, the newer generations will not know of you but us old timers remember only too well the Kuku bloodline.

My own ancestors have engaged in at times heated discussions with many a Kuku descendant but I will say your bloodline has always added a little something to these here streets, yes Kuku knew how to piss a lot of people off but was also able to engage in quite a few constructive threads.

dontbemad gets another good laugh overhearing GreatWhiteNorth the petty thief assuming Kuku is fucking with new ones.

Hey GreatWhiteNorth,  I got a message for you:  the "noobs" and "peasants" don't need your support if you insist on being insulting to us. What side bothers you more?   Noobs or old timers who think they deserve the same respect as so many others who come back to power over and over again??

dontbemad apologizes to Kuku for this off topic interruption

I'd say its fairly simple.

Your ancestors showed up to the streets often about any kind of topic regarding many things. Some people liked it, some people didn't.

You always brought something to the table in the streets and proved yourself to be a somewhat capable speaker.

The reason you're the name isn't as famous now? Old kuku showed up very often and presented himself in many kinds of fashions.

Your blood hasn't shown up nearly as often as of recent and some of the newer generations of mobsters on our shores may not even know the name of Kuku.

Perhaps you should show up more, and show the good people here who you truly are?

Which bothers me more? Oh I'm so glad you asked!

Unintelligent people who wander these streets attempting to poke holes in anything anyone says, while only accomplishing the feat of making themselves look ridiculous. Oh shit, I just described you. I might get a fucking brain hemorrhage if I read another thread where you try to make a point and get shut down harder than a fat chick at a bar.

Maybe you should go rant about some backroom conversations or protection orders that weren't even broken.

You're a lamba.

Run along now little one, you're so adorable when you try to sound smart.

Aye, a lamba, it's my creative insult of the day. Tune in tomorrow!

I believe it is a traditional garment generally used by the women of Madagascar, they are often made of silk and sometimes even cow hides when worn for a funeral! While the ones used mainly for daily wear can go so far as to even be created with cotton, which personally, I believe is one of the most comfortable types of fabric.

Although I cannot be certain.

Spot on.

GreatWhiteNorth, is it common practice for you to be so far when you speak? Judging by your drool coming out your mouth, I would have to say you are butt sore. SUCK it up buttercup.

Fact check:

I am not one of the news one insulted.

You could not insult me on your best day.

My words cut like a knife.

I like that you think I was shut down. Good job piss ant.

I enjoyed the backroom convo last night.

How is my butt sore? I'm really quite comfortable. I just dislike you.

Friggen lamba.
