I'm from nowhere near Detroit but from West coast Canada but I absolutely love listening and watching Al's videos. I too remember having more $ between 18-30 than many people make in their lives . No regrets, early 60 now , always something to remember that keeps us laughing . Thanks for triggering many memories Al. I read recently that your channel is the most underrated on the ' net . I completely agree 👍🏻
Man big up to all of yall this man interview is giving me flashbacks my late father moved us to New York from Dc in t 79 my pops had connections in Harlem(when he first got to the Us from South Africa fleeing apartheid he settled in Harlem in 66
this was good made me feel like i was on the block....appreciated the history ,insight & courtney brown jr last story was poignant & perfect ending point
😂😂😂😂 Same dude!!! I know that one thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other, but I find it very difficult almost impossible to take Cavario serious about anything he says after I seen that video.
These narratives that West Indians were more family oriented or anything more “positive” is a joke cause I grew up in Brooklyn with people from all over the Caribbean & they did do what was said in this video BUT, it wasn’t for all these moral reasons given by Cavario, it was cause they were arrogant for no reason. Nothing cool about them at all. It was the kids who grew up with us who were cool It’s the reason why they messed everything up with the violence with the posses in the 1980's. They hated each other, all Blk Americans did was joke on them, they were competing with us and still are, why do you think there is no more unity with blk Americans and other blk/Latin immigrants, we’re tired of this one sided story telling which y'all media people love to push, but them days are gone! I’m glad more people like "Tariq Nasheed" are telling all sides cause this notion that immigrants are somehow more positive or hardworking is nonsense. What’s crazy most media has no idea blk America is uniting & separating from all groups cause if they did they would be careful talking bad on us while telling good lies on others on OUR LAND! I'm seeing the media, old blk people, & NYC people have no idea what's going on in Blk America UNLESS it's Hip Hop!
Facts. Cavario don't know what he talking about with West Indian families. Jamaica had dons and crews going back to the 60s like Jim Brown and the shower posse that had access to dope and sent people to set up shop in Miami, NY, and across the eastern seaboard.
This is Cavario responding to you. I am QUITE aware of Jim Brown, and EVERYTHING and EVERYONE around that whole shituatioin (long before RUclips or the internet existed) I actually had conversation with Vivian Blake. I have FORGOTTEN more about this subject matter than MOST will EVER have a clue about. You're welcome.
@@alprofit So, why make up fairytales when we all saw what happened when they came in the 1980's? Why makes it sound like they were just innocent people UNTIL they came around us BAD BLK AMERICANS? I have no hate for you, BUT this fairytale stuff is dead in BLK America. Tell the whole story, or just don't touch the subject cause I was there TOO, and know for a fact what you said was nonsense. I know Harlem is just a neighborhood, and that was your experience, BUT you are an intelligent enough man to know you don't speak exacts when your experience is limited. I grew up in the 1980's in FLATBUSH BROOKLYN, I can tell you what it really was like just like other older Brooklyn people cause that is where EVERYONE Caribbean comes when they get to the states
Real shit cavario spitting ❤🎉, not to many kats know about pop Freedman, might've known about Ronnie bump and his crew, kat and all them other dudes, but pop was " THEE MAN ", FOR REAL FOR REAL 😂😂
I guess they never heard about all the Jamaican gangs ( and not only the two well known ones) in NYC that CAME OVER HERE ON VIOLENCE ( which is why a lot of American Blacks disliked them). This is a classic romance story he’s telling lol😅 smh them dudes was ultra violent running off the money which is why a lot of Black Americans and Caribbean people, especially Jamaicans clashed.
@Prestrev1010 cavario was talking early on about his block not every situation or experiences is the same and its never a one sided situation to be fair streets had all grimey thievery all sides
You're both right.. The Jamaicans that first came mostly to Bronx and BK in the 70's were squared up and wanting to shake that 3rd world absolute poverty stinch by working super hard.. Same with the Haitians in Brooklyn and NJ. But There was a criminal element that were allowed to operate semi freely courtesy of The CIA who was busy de-stabilizing and importing arms to Jamaican thugs to fight against and topple the socialist president. Reggae didn't really hit in the states till after Marley died in around 81 so it still wasn't cool to be a dredlocks till maybe late 80's
That area in '91 I remember walking through in the daytime rastas had bags of weed in their hands like an open-air market. Ive never seen anything like that.😳
Why did Cavario act like when Mr. Brown told him he repurchased packs from men he sold packs too he looked like that’s beneath him. I’m sure he’s down things lower than that.
We need more stories like this! Outstanding visuals and how you all fed off one another to describe your own experiences! Excellent work!
Thank you, I always try to be organic and original

Jim Brown wasnt active in the U.S. till 1980. Quite trying so hard to "know something"
I wish they would’ve spoke on Pee wee Kirkland being part owner of a high-end jewelry store being business partners with some Jewish gentlemen..
Al, please ask Cavario about the Bumpy Johnson crew (Nat Pettigrew particularly). I know Bumpy is before his time but if anybody know, he does lol
Yooooo he said before he burned it down. LMAO!!!!! Didler!!! Yooooo!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I got respect for Cavario tho!
This guy is SMART😂
