    Two immediate takeaways from this interview for me. 1. He is still devastated over his mother's loss. 2. He's super intelligent. He only cursed once and never used the n-word throughout this entire two hour interview. I respect that. Salute to you brother Chiles for turning everything around. There is no glorification, only facts and truth about the game and how ugly it can get.

      *Thats also something I've always heard & witnessed from all the interviews I've seen from Kevin Chiles. I do NOT think I've EVER heard him say any statements that had the word "Nigga" in it. It seems like when he says statements that people would normally say "Nigga" in, he would say "Homies" or "Dudes" ... like instead of saying "These Niggas was crazy"... & "Them Niggas was hot." Kevin would say "These DUDES was crazy" & "Them DUDES was hot" ...*
      *Too me it does seem like its more of a "Older Head & OG" type of thing, in most cases, rather than a certain type of character & person... Even though there is plenty of examples regarding intelligent people never using the word "Nigga" as well, I've noticed it more in OGs.*
      *I know some people would say it was possibly just Vlad asking Kevin Chiles to not use certain words & try to limit the curse words for the RUclips algorithms BUT even in other interviews where the interviewer did not care about using curse words & "Nigga", Kevin Chiles still never used the word. He's just that type of Nigga (pun intended)* 😂😂

      Hes definitely a sociopath. He seems completely empty emotionally he doesnt show anger happiness anything. Even when vlad was kinda interrogating him about Azie and them ratting he was just really cool the whole time. Which is usually way more dangerous than an over emotional hot head and thats probably why he was so successful in the streets. Making decisions off emotion is when most fuck up and do something dumb and get arrested

    Vlad is real slick I dislike how you snarked at your Kevin Giles for the decisions he had made. Which landed him an interview with you because like it or not our world galvanizes over these stories. Kevin hustled his way out of poverty right or wrong poverty is a drug to kick as well. Times were very different back then but still I love the way Kevin held his own after your slights.

You are one of the smart ones. A lot of men won't be able to with stand the pressure as you sir; staying focused on being free and clear.

    Kevin has a great way of explaining and describing situations and how things were. When I was watching the AZ interview, AZ couldn’t explain or describe anything. He just would say “you know what I mean?” and we would just have to guess. Great interview.
