This the first time I read the indictment...

Dude got really sloppy. Not burning phones, in debt to his suppliers, too many people knew his movements...

I guess I could never understand since I was never at that level, but I do understand how more money becomes addictive. I just can't fathom having a million cash and not being able to walk away. This dude at minimum had a 5-year run, probably longer, made plenty of money, and part of the reason he couldn't walk away is because he owed people money....

I remember my goal was to run up $100k and walk away clean. Never made it, but I did have an endgame. This nikka had no endgame...

how much in debt was he?

I always tell people, Vladimir is the best hip hop/urban outlet in the world right now. He literally interviews EVERYONE and gets in depth interviews with people who mainstream outlets won't touch.

Who else would interview Shyheim, Carmen (Nas' baby mother), The Clipse's ex manager, the cops who investigated 2pac's murder and the beef between the SSCC & MOB Pirus?

I honestly don't understand the hate he gets because the Breakfast Club or Elliot Wilson are only trying to interview stars and won't give us the full picture of what is going down.
I hate the dude but he's been hitting it outta the park the last few months. I tried to boycott his channel but out of nowhere he started interviewing people I was interested in hearing. I'm over the fact that he gets idiots locked up and all that bs because at the end of the day they do it to themselves.

I want Vlad to find Boom Pacino from Respect Life and find out what happened that made him go crazy

A) he's white
B) he seems to focus HEAVILY on the drug game and violence aspects of people history

Buttttttt that's why I'm watching 99% time :yeshrug:
I never see people complaining about queensflip constantly bringing up negativity or making ppl snitch on themselves. It's kinda hypocritical.
He got way more classic interviews than these other platforms imo

I had two separate runs where I made some nice change, when I was 20-21, and when I was 26-27. The first run was surrounded by going in and outta jail and different beefs and issues that caused me to duck out at times, which slowed my earning potential. The second run I coulda probably hit the milestone but the impending birth of my first child caused me to reevaluate and eventually change from that lifestyle...

I was weed, pills, and gun guy. I had an opportunity once to jump on running heroin from Sac, one of my cousins was involved with running out to Baltimore. H wasn't my thing. Earlier on me and a homie of mine from Oakland were pulling ecstasy out to to NC, that was a lucrative flip, but between the jail and beef shyt I mentioned and at the time the chick I was with was bleeding my pockets, that slowed. And that was my early 20s, really at that time I didn't have an endgame or a dollar amount, I was just blind hustling. That was more I was in the typical mindstate of make whatever I could to eat but I didn't expect to be alive long like most people running around...

The $100k idea didn't become a thing until I got outta jail in March 2015 in Charlotte, I was 25 going on 26 and just got off an attempted murder. Sat in the jail for 9 months fighting that, and when I first got out I was low for awhile. Then I started pulling weed out this way and that was when I was in my zone on the $100k. Found out in June 2016 I would be a father and it slowly started affecting my thoughts and actions, and the last flip I made was in January 2017 and I was able to back out completely...

I mentioned this on here in the past, when I backed out in January '17 I was sitting on around $35k, my daughter was born February 28. I was able to sit and figure out what I wanted my next steps to be but that money went faster than I thought, obviously when I was dealing I had expenses and people I was responsible for like anyone else. My profits of course I made more than $100k all the time I spent outside but I'd never had as much money saved as when I backed out, plus it ain't like I was ever on some kingpin shyt. Just a brother who had some consistent loads a couple different times...

It's easy to say what you would and wouldn't do if you were in his situation. Dude has a wife and kids to think about. You always gonna put your family first. I don't wanna hear well he put himself in that situation. 32 years was excessive anyway considering no one was killed. I could tell he was truly hurt by not going to Pusha's wedding.

New interview



Watched this yesterday, was hard to listen to for the most part cause dude is kind of inarticulate. He did give more info about Pusha's involvement in his dope dealing. Said he took Pusha to Panama to meet the plug and Pusha and the plug had their own dealings. Was lowkey snitching on Pusha lmao

The common denominator with all these interviewees (Vlad, AoD, etc etc) is they must be down bad financially to be telling all these stories. shyt is wild to me

I can't sit down and watch a 2 hour interview 🤣 but despite being a rat, Geezy considered legend status in The Beach. Just like other rats like Alpo and Sammy The Bull, everybody's city has a rat or few that gets a pass...

Geezy pass is moreso because of how beloved he was and how he took care of mf's around him. Plus people justify his snitching (as some do with all snitches)...

I've always told the board that from what I knew the Thornton brothers were really in it. The people I got that info from had no reason to lie to me about em, so I just always brush it off when people question if they were really in it. Push has become a caricature, old as hell with the same cartoonist coke raps, but he was really involved...
