I came from Inglewood, a city that’s typically hated in the NH’s….this dude gave me a job coaching kids in his football program. Not only was it a good experience for me…. The 60’s made sure… as long as we were there about them kids… anybody I had with me was 💯 percent safe💪🏾
the dude sat there and act like he didnt know who killed tupac then said his homie told him it wasnt them it was wohwoh lol then said oh thats how i heard it happen to lmao then act like he didnt know who keffyD was.. when he know damn well he know who he is if hes crip
All Crips don’t know each other or get along df. Crips is a gang and it’s hundreds of crips sets. Like Big U set Rollin 60’s don’t mess with no gangster crips or Compton crips. Only neighborhood Crips.
It’s funny because you realise that stumbling onto a video like this how people life’s can be so different but still so similar and how an instant assumption can be so wrong . My point being I’m a middle aged white father of three from Sheffield England with no history of gangs , drugs or criminal activities yet I went down the rabbit hole of RUclips and found this video ...... I started out thinking here’s just another black gangbanger gunna be glamorising the lifestyle and promoting a get money at all costs attitude.....after watching the entire video and stripping away all the blood/crip bullshit what I actually found was another middle aged family man with some regrets and a desire to improve himself , the quest for respect can be a dangerous road but it certainly isn’t a one way street so you can step off and lead your own path at any time ......Respect to this guy whoever he is or used to be.
WOW I REALLY LIKE YOUR WORDS U ARE OPENED MINED WHITE GUY EM FROM SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON DC AND I GET LOOKED AT BY WHITE FOLKS FUNNY CUZ EM THA SAME SIZE AS BIG BUT ONCE THEY TALK TO U CAN SEE ALL FEAR NOT KNOWING DISAPPER I WISH ALL WHITE FOLKZ LIKE COULD BE LIKE U THANK YOU SIŔ
Panther Punch That's what I've always said. Ghetto ain't a place, it's a state of mind. Just like the streets, money doesn't take the streets out of anybody.
I met u in 83 when I moved to 10th Ave and Hyde Park.during that time gang banging was real .he was wild back then Jerry curl always wearing wife beaters hanging with another legend piddy wack crazy times .
Honestly when I first came across 6ix9ine shit, I kept Scrolling. When I come across real niggaz like Big U 💪🏾💪🏾 who actually has something to say, I hit the play button.
Sun Of God he is an opportunist filling a gap... Black folks have to stop whining and start winning... no reason a Black couldn't do the same as Vlad...

I understand about the obvious real culture vultures but they are just str8 vultures , opportunist for every situation that's how they move in everything they do. But I don't understand why a person who deals outside of their culture and makes money doing it they gotta be a culture vulture ?
There is no gap sir. His interviews are great and give some of us insight into avenues we would not normally have. Our culture is not a homogenous entity, therefore there is no gap, just different aspects of our culture are experienced by different individuals. Vlad is a culture vulture, but he has some great interviews.
Excellent interview! I grew up in the sixties neighborhood in L.A. and in Compton, California. Big ups to him making a high impact and a huge difference. God had a calling on his life from the beginning.
Paul says a similar thing in Galatians...I am not sent "from" men, but "through" Jesus Christ... Power in the word no doubt, too bad people don't read it for themselves. Shout to Big U
If u know u know! Read monster Cody's book and you'll understand what they went through and Cody was eight Trey that was at war with the 60's. I was born in 75 and lived in watts. By 83 when we moved I'd seen my fair share already and would have been right in the mix if we had not left.
"When you mad, you mad. If you upset and you on your thing you going... they really not caring in that moment about no cameras" The validity of that statement was sadly seen in the case of Nipsey Hussle's death. BIG U clearly has been around.

Most of the LA Gangsta's have family ties from the South. Texas, Louisiana. Chicago Gangsta have family ties from the south as well. Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
Larry Nealy ahh dude u do realize that all black Americans have ties to the south ..the majority of blacks in the country before WW2 lived in the south during ww2 most migrated North or west to find jobs in the factories ..it's called the great American migration..we're also have a migration right now with a lot of black American people leaving the majority city's of the north and out west and moving back down south to get away from the B's

This guy needs to write a book. I wrote three books about power the first is entitled, "This Paper". His life and what he has to offer is every bit as important and would be much more appealing to the element that desperately needs to he hear it than my story which is geared for those who have already embarked on the journey that this man is on. Glad I caught this video.
Level 4 Calipatria 180 Yard , as a YG 54 Brim I was in the cell next door to Big U and his Pops . Both 3x Black Belts . Harry O same yard. Big U showed me nothing but respect and helped mold the ranked soldier I became.We were a organization of our own. West Side South Central Los Angeles . Some years later in Ironwood Level 4 Yard it was Big U who came with care package,strolled the yard debriefed me current status. 54th is the regiment . 60’s a platoon. Big U was a W/S South Central Los Angeles General.
As a human being who was raised and influenced by a Northern European family and culture, I am in admiration of this man and his truth. When he says what he says about the police showing up in a European ie; “White” neighborhood is real. When you are part of the dominating culture, you have the luxury of not even knowing you’re in the dominating culture, and the police are no big deal just a part of the everyday hustle and bustle of life. The postman, the doctor, the lawyer, the chef, the fireman, the policeman. Period. That’s it. That’s all. White privilege is about being blind to others experience and not knowing it. Believing that everyone is treated the same way you are. And expecting a level of fairness and societal justice.....not necessarily, or usually given to others.
Melanie Brandt much respect to you, great comment. We have more in common than we have different, but right now we are all victims of divide and conquer
Lil Green Thanks! My father was Black, but had little influence on my identity and cultural upbringing ...much to my detriment. I benefitted from and reaped the rewards that come with the White culture’s privileges and identified so deeply with my mom that I wasn’t prepared for the oppression displayed in our society.
Larry Nealy becuase if you shoot a police they bring more police. You shoot those police. They bring swat and helicopters. National gaurd. Ect ect. You shoot a gangmember nothing happens
Larry Nealy im telling you the lapd just wasnt playing that, they set precedents for nighas to be scared. They knew if a cop died it was over the lapd would bring down the hammer on them so they ran
Larry Nealy Yeah, but no one claims or says that just cause someone gang bangs or is down to take a life and shoot it out with another gang. That THEY'RE willing or WANTING to die, that's generally not even the case. Most the time people are just raised in and/or around gangs, an brought up into the lifestyle or into a neighborhood gang. An are down for their gang/family, an/or in fact it's the OPPOSITE of WANTING to die. An people are actually TRYING to SURVIVE and STAY ALIVE.. Which is the SAME reason ALLOT of people in prison join a gang, for protection cause they are surrounded by nothing but gangs and dangerous people. An the Govt/police exploit poor neighborhoods as much as gangs do, an practically run bad areas like the corrections officers do a jail or prison. There are also plenty of people who aren't afraid of guns, an who aren't afraid to die BUT that DOESN'T mean they WANT to die.. With that said, allot of it does have to do with the fact that police basically do have unlimited back up an/or resources. If ONE police officer is shot or shot at, 10X's more back up will arrive and it's essentially a force/battle that anyone knows they are MOST LIKELY to lose. That will continue to persist and will grow larger an/or greater in numbers indefinitely. Even if on the defensive at first, they will GROW, attack, an strategize until they're on the OFFENSIVE end. An will then succeed an/or defeat anyone. HOWEVER, people just also DON'T ever hear about the people an/or times that whoever DO shoot at cops and get away with it, because THEY GOT AWAY. Where police CAN'T even identify a suspect because the first responding officer or officers, are immediately shot at. So someone can quickly flee, while a single officer or 2 run for cover and to wait for back up. Police and the news aren't going to talk about or publicize anyone GETTING AWAY, especially if they are shot at. Police ALSO DON'T normally go into high risk areas or situations WITHOUT ample backup, so all these factors play into only a small handful of unique situations. Police don't want people an the public knowing or hearing about dangerous individuals and groups in an area, an who have gotten away from them. Nor do they speak of their failures, especially if they're are defeated in a sense or even just temporarily. Which gives police or whatever department a bad overall image and may terrify the public if somebody dangerous that even the police have failed to stop or apprehend, is on the loose. An obviously anyone involved in any situation like that, who would shoot at police. Are not going to be out there talking about it or spreading the spreading the story around, about how they shot at and four away from police. Which also doesn't occur that regularly, cause somebody has to be desperate enough to do so. Considering that they are upping the bounty on their head, an police are already well prepared when attempting to apprehend anybody wanted for murder etc.
vinny Hanna There have been plenty of LAPD officers killed, but you're right. The police act the same as any other GANG, with the advantage of Government Intel and records. As well as the LAW on their side, which they follow at their own leisure. When one of their own are killed or shot at etc, they take it extremely personally and WILL follow up and follow through on investigating it bar none. Like the complete opposite of some gang shootings or homeless people beaten to death, as long as the public threat is low or next to none. The priority level to solve a case is minimal, whereas if an officer is shot at and/or KILLED. It's obviously made PRIORITY number 1 and all other cases are put aside an beneath it. An when it's something personal amongst them and their families or other officers, it's NOT about bringing someone in. They'll straight KILL somebody who they KNOW has shot an/or killed one of their officers, or ANY police officer. Even more so since NOW a days police LOOK for ANY excuse to act up and use their weapons, an/or excessive force. The police definitely do set a level in which they are publicly viewed and ACT OUT a certain way, which differs when they are amongst "street thugs" and people they believe or KNOW have a disregard for the Laws and Law Enforcement. An do handle allot of off the book or off paper record, interactions. Which they do use to intimidate and send a message, as though police are crusaders or tribal warriors. Like tribes that would rape and pillage, as a shock factor and to send a message to their adversaries. ESPECIALLY the LAPD, who HAVE HAD a record of corruption, street involvement, extorting gangs and rogue officers. Crews of corrupt cops, who kick in doors serving fake warrants and ROB known drug houses or dealers they have staked out. Kind of like in that movie Training Day, an as with any major cities police force they've been aggressive. An in some ways, not to really even blame them but they HAVE BEEN overly aggressive and known to use excessive force an/or act ABOVE or OUTSIDE of the Law. At times even receiving National attention for their actions and incidents.
They would have bombed it something similar to Tulsa somehow some way they would have got it done. The Just chose chemical warfare with Crack. Today in 2020 They use Psychological Warfare in the form of Hip Hop
Ain’t seen you in a long while but I wanna say thank you 🙏 you where great with my son Jay Johnson #24 Crenshaw Cults snoop dog youth football league. You been helping the community #1410 aisle
First time hearing about this dude. If moving “under the radar” was a person type vibes. Dodging certain questions by knowing the whole story and being a “ghost “ at the same time. Smart dude
Never heard if him before but this video was cery enlightening. I absolutely LOVE what he said he was doing with the gangs in LA. Never knew LA gamg situation was as low as its been in over 50 years!! They NEED something like that in Chicago, New Orleans, Memphis ect. Great interview right here.
Gang violence isn't a problem down here in New Orleans. Murder is, but we don't give af about flags. And murder will be an issue as long as there's extreme poverty.
Gangs aren't a problem in Chicago.. It's just youngsters with no older (positive) influences so they just want to be WILDER than the next lil homie running around doing dirt.. and once you throw violence and murder in that equation then it's just a never ending vicious circle of retaliation that is nearly impossible to put an end to because of the feelings that the loved ones of the people that have been murdered have... No one has figured out how to stop all the retaliation and until we figure that out the murders won't ever stop.
Best interview I've ever watched. For a young black man like myself this is uplifting. I don't have to be a tough guy no more and growing up that was the thing. Especially in the 80's and 90's. Thank you Big U. Keep going my g and inspiring the generation after you. You good in kck anytime. Respect!
ThaReal the book is called , The autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley. He didn’t write anything but you can find transcripts of his speeches online. There use to be a page on RUclips that had a lot of his speeches and interviews. IMO the spike lee film does him no justice.

very inspired! i think theres men that have walked a similar past to yours that still cant get on the right track but inspiration with how you have changed your ways for the benefit of your family and LA they will be able to learn to deal with their situations accordingly. Your the man Big U, thank you for the stories VLAD.
I tell ppl this all the time if you're blk in New York, Cali, or Chicago your roots come from the south. All of you have family in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia somewhere. It was a big migration from the south to the North, Midwest, and west due to the KKK and Jim Crow.
Zone6ZoneSix Facts. Been stabbed, shot, did years in prison, beat up by cops, I mean he is the real deal and not many people are cut out to live that kind of life. Some people are just tough enough to deal with the streets
How ppl comment on love for this cat, but on other side ppl saying he had something to do with upn comin rapper nipsey hussle, that nearly oxymoron for me, if ppl say something that explosive they need to be content of kinda facts behind that, but social media is gone crazy you can just reiterate anything without no proof n ppl believe that, more gonna die by the gun that no gonna be high profile as nipsey, stay true and pick your friends as serious as motgfckr, it well cud be ur life depends on that decision there I guess, just hope nipsey fam begin to heal somebody trying to do better gets life cut short once more..bless nipsey loved ones with faith n strength to get thru all this, this man not deserve to die fr watevr was said period. 💐❤️

😂😂😂 leave vlad alone
wait for it ... “readyrock” vlad 😎😂
This guy needs to write a book. I wrote three books about power the first is entitled, "This Paper". His life and what he has to offer is every bit as important and would be much more appealing to the element that desperately needs to he hear it than my story which is geared for those who have already embarked on the journey that this man is on. Glad I caught this video.
First time ever hearing about Big U. Alotta respect to such a influential person👌🏽.
Finally the whole interview
Love Theses good ole stories
Level 4 Calipatria 180 Yard , as a YG 54 Brim I was in the cell next door to Big U and his Pops . Both 3x Black Belts . Harry O same yard. Big U showed me nothing but respect and helped mold the ranked soldier I became.We were a organization of our own. West Side South Central Los Angeles . Some years later in Ironwood Level 4 Yard it was Big U who came with care package,strolled the yard debriefed me current status. 54th is the regiment . 60’s a platoon. Big U was a W/S South Central Los Angeles General.
Wer u there with big insane
Listen to this man he has a lot of love for youth. Much respect!
As a human being who was raised and influenced by a Northern European family and culture, I am in admiration of this man and his truth. When he says what he says about the police showing up in a European ie; “White” neighborhood is real. When you are part of the dominating culture, you have the luxury of not even knowing you’re in the dominating culture, and the police are no big deal just a part of the everyday hustle and bustle of life. The postman, the doctor, the lawyer, the chef, the fireman, the policeman. Period. That’s it. That’s all. White privilege is about being blind to others experience and not knowing it. Believing that everyone is treated the same way you are. And expecting a level of fairness and societal justice.....not necessarily, or usually given to others.
Melanie Brandt much respect to you, great comment. We have more in common than we have different, but right now we are all victims of divide and conquer
Lil Green Thanks! My father was Black, but had little influence on my identity and cultural upbringing ...much to my detriment. I benefitted from and reaped the rewards that come with the White culture’s privileges and identified so deeply with my mom that I wasn’t prepared for the oppression displayed in our society.
White supremacy is also making the world believe that your the majority !! When in fact your the minority

Great interview. Bruh look like James Harrison from the Steelers mixed with Evander Holyfield lol
Spook The Producer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spook The Producer that’s my word he looks like he played 10 years in the NFL for the colts.... He looks like a out of work special teams coach
Accurate asf😂💯

On the money
"Gang Banger's will shoot it out with other gangs even if severely out numbered, willing to die. One cop pull up and every one scatter" SMH
Larry Nealy becuase if you shoot a police they bring more police. You shoot those police. They bring swat and helicopters. National gaurd. Ect ect. You shoot a gangmember nothing happens
Vinny Hanna, i hear you but If you are willing to die you are willing to die. it doesn't matter by who are how. I will never understand that mindset.
Larry Nealy im telling you the lapd just wasnt playing that, they set precedents for nighas to be scared. They knew if a cop died it was over the lapd would bring down the hammer on them so they ran
Larry Nealy
Yeah, but no one claims or says that just cause someone gang bangs or is down to take a life and shoot it out with another gang.
That THEY'RE willing or WANTING to die, that's generally not even the case.
Most the time people are just raised in and/or around gangs, an brought up into the lifestyle or into a neighborhood gang.
An are down for their gang/family, an/or in fact it's the OPPOSITE of WANTING to die.
An people are actually TRYING to SURVIVE and STAY ALIVE..
Which is the SAME reason ALLOT of people in prison join a gang, for protection cause they are surrounded by nothing but gangs and dangerous people.
An the Govt/police exploit poor neighborhoods as much as gangs do, an practically run bad areas like the corrections officers do a jail or prison.
There are also plenty of people who aren't afraid of guns, an who aren't afraid to die BUT that DOESN'T mean they WANT to die..
With that said, allot of it does have to do with the fact that police basically do have unlimited back up an/or resources. If ONE police officer is shot or shot at, 10X's more back up will arrive and it's essentially a force/battle that anyone knows they are MOST LIKELY to lose.
That will continue to persist and will grow larger an/or greater in numbers indefinitely. Even if on the defensive at first, they will GROW, attack, an strategize until they're on the OFFENSIVE end.
An will then succeed an/or defeat anyone.
HOWEVER, people just also DON'T ever hear about the people an/or times that whoever DO shoot at cops and get away with it, because THEY GOT AWAY.
Where police CAN'T even identify a suspect because the first responding officer or officers, are immediately shot at.
So someone can quickly flee, while a single officer or 2 run for cover and to wait for back up.
Police and the news aren't going to talk about or publicize anyone GETTING AWAY, especially if they are shot at.
Police ALSO DON'T normally go into high risk areas or situations WITHOUT ample backup, so all these factors play into only a small handful of unique situations.
Police don't want people an the public knowing or hearing about dangerous individuals and groups in an area, an who have gotten away from them.
Nor do they speak of their failures, especially if they're are defeated in a sense or even just temporarily.
Which gives police or whatever department a bad overall image and may terrify the public if somebody dangerous that even the police have failed to stop or apprehend, is on the loose.
An obviously anyone involved in any situation like that, who would shoot at police.
Are not going to be out there talking about it or spreading the spreading the story around, about how they shot at and four away from police.
Which also doesn't occur that regularly, cause somebody has to be desperate enough to do so.
Considering that they are upping the bounty on their head, an police are already well prepared when attempting to apprehend anybody wanted for murder etc.
vinny Hanna
There have been plenty of LAPD officers killed, but you're right.
The police act the same as any other GANG, with the advantage of Government Intel and records.
As well as the LAW on their side, which they follow at their own leisure.
When one of their own are killed or shot at etc, they take it extremely personally and WILL follow up and follow through on investigating it bar none.
Like the complete opposite of some gang shootings or homeless people beaten to death, as long as the public threat is low or next to none. The priority level to solve a case is minimal, whereas if an officer is shot at and/or KILLED.
It's obviously made PRIORITY number 1 and all other cases are put aside an beneath it.
An when it's something personal amongst them and their families or other officers, it's NOT about bringing someone in.
They'll straight KILL somebody who they KNOW has shot an/or killed one of their officers, or ANY police officer. Even more so since NOW a days police LOOK for ANY excuse to act up and use their weapons, an/or excessive force.
The police definitely do set a level in which they are publicly viewed and ACT OUT a certain way, which differs when they are amongst "street thugs" and people they believe or KNOW have a disregard for the Laws and Law Enforcement.
An do handle allot of off the book or off paper record, interactions.
Which they do use to intimidate and send a message, as though police are crusaders or tribal warriors. Like tribes that would rape and pillage, as a shock factor and to send a message to their adversaries. ESPECIALLY the LAPD, who HAVE HAD a record of corruption, street involvement, extorting gangs and rogue officers. Crews of corrupt cops, who kick in doors serving fake warrants and ROB known drug houses or dealers they have staked out. Kind of like in that movie Training Day, an as with any major cities police force they've been aggressive.
An in some ways, not to really even blame them but they HAVE BEEN overly aggressive and known to use excessive force an/or act ABOVE or OUTSIDE of the Law. At times even receiving National attention for their actions and incidents.
Wonder what these working class LA south central neighborhoods would have been like without crack
If the panthers weren’t demonized as domestic terrorist .. we would have seen that result
They would have bombed it something similar to Tulsa somehow some way they would have got it done.
The Just chose chemical warfare with Crack.
Today in 2020 They use Psychological Warfare in the form of Hip Hop
wonderful...too bad that's not the reality. I lived it.
They would have found something else to get in done.
Heroin destroyed Harlem before Crack.
30/40 yrs from somebody will be saying I wonder what the Communities would have looked like without Trap/Drill music.
Same cycle diffent poisson.
Ain’t seen you in a long while but I wanna say thank you 🙏 you where great with my son Jay Johnson #24 Crenshaw Cults snoop dog youth football league. You been helping the community #1410 aisle
@ here you go again. You not from here. No one knows you. Stfu. This man has helped a lot of people. Especially Nipsey.

It's Houston Texas not Austin
Rap alot mafia
The Real Deebo 💯
Real solid dude bruh I watched the whole interview
He must be a serious OG because I’m from Orlando FLA and a lot of people here know who he is.
First time hearing about this dude. If moving “under the radar” was a person type vibes. Dodging certain questions by knowing the whole story and being a “ghost “ at the same time. Smart dude
Never heard if him before but this video was cery enlightening. I absolutely LOVE what he said he was doing with the gangs in LA.
Never knew LA gamg situation was as low as its been in over 50 years!! They NEED something like that in Chicago, New Orleans, Memphis ect.
Great interview right here.
LA's is being gentrified completely. Everyone is moving inland. San bernardino county is looking bad right now.
Gang violence isn't a problem down here in New Orleans. Murder is, but we don't give af about flags. And murder will be an issue as long as there's extreme poverty.
Gangs aren't a problem in Chicago.. It's just youngsters with no older (positive) influences so they just want to be WILDER than the next lil homie running around doing dirt.. and once you throw violence and murder in that equation then it's just a never ending vicious circle of retaliation that is nearly impossible to put an end to because of the feelings that the loved ones of the people that have been murdered have... No one has figured out how to stop all the retaliation and until we figure that out the murders won't ever stop.
AnthonyRangeL police doing a lot of those Chicago killings
U must not play 2pac dummy
"So he told on a dead man? Oh that's different. Alright let me hear it." Hahahah
Street shit for real
Best interview I've ever watched. For a young black man like myself this is uplifting. I don't have to be a tough guy no more and growing up that was the thing. Especially in the 80's and 90's. Thank you Big U. Keep going my g and inspiring the generation after you. You good in kck anytime. Respect!
Great comment.
A murderor is uplifting ok
The legend and I'm not even from Los Angeles I'm from New York much respect to L A. "OG's .
Thank You for sharing your story. Much respect 🙌 you are still here and strong 💪 with wisdom.
If you really pay attention to his words, Big U seems like good people.
William Sanders You can tell it took a lot of jail time to make that happen too.
If you haven’t read Malcolm x autobiography do so. It will change your perspective on life. At least it did for me.
Richard Gere’s Lost gerbil Do you recommend a specific piece or book to check out? Ive never peeped up on dude
ThaReal the book is called , The autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley. He didn’t write anything but you can find transcripts of his speeches online. There use to be a page on RUclips that had a lot of his speeches and interviews. IMO the spike lee film does him no justice.
Richard Gere’s Lost gerbil Kool, thanks bruh . I'm a check that out n I hope you find Richard 👍
ThaReal no problem! It’s more like he needs to find me...
Richard Gere’s Lost gerbil😂😂
This is the reallest interview on this platform thus far 💯👏🏾✌🏿
He’s a big ol’ HANDSOME Black Man 👑 with a beautiful smile, pure soul, regal presence and a good head on his shoulders! God bless him and his Wife!

Damn badass vid.... I ended up watching the whole entire thing with no FF 👍🏾
DITTO!!! First time an interview didn't get boring as he's a good talker and keeps you interested with the way he talks about shit!!!
very inspired! i think theres men that have walked a similar past to yours that still cant get on the right track but inspiration with how you have changed your ways for the benefit of your family and LA they will be able to learn to deal with their situations accordingly.
Your the man Big U, thank you for the stories VLAD.
I tell ppl this all the time if you're blk in New York, Cali, or Chicago your roots come from the south. All of you have family in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia somewhere. It was a big migration from the south to the North, Midwest, and west due to the KKK and Jim Crow.
Yeah, that was the greatest ending to any podcast ever! My man hit it straight on the button.
All you niggaz thinking your favorite rapper is the gangster of the decade. You are looking at a REAL gangster 💯💯💯
Zone6ZoneSix Facts. Been stabbed, shot, did years in prison, beat up by cops, I mean he is the real deal and not many people are cut out to live that kind of life. Some people are just tough enough to deal with the streets
Rappers aren't gangsters so this is a dumb comment.
Leon Henry most rap like they do
@Vadge Jones rondo numba 9 , Morrison from the uk , boosie shitttt loads of rappers do there thing
This nigga made the funeral business BOOM in the 80s & 90s
Officer Vlad hard at work as usual
shut the fuck up
truE onE uh...ok?🤷🏾♂️
King Cosmoz if you think he's the police. Why your bitch low key snitch ass still watching his interviews?
DreamMaker745 oh another internet gangster😒*yawn*...gon kill the keyboard nigga. When you finished buy another one kill that one too.
Dorian Thomas try me fuck boy
Mad respect for this brother. Hope he does run for office.
He is already somewhat LA Vice Mayor
he got nipsey hussle killed
How ppl comment on love for this cat, but on other side ppl saying he had something to do with upn comin rapper nipsey hussle, that nearly oxymoron for me, if ppl say something that explosive they need to be content of kinda facts behind that, but social media is gone crazy you can just reiterate anything without no proof n ppl believe that, more gonna die by the gun that no gonna be high profile as nipsey, stay true and pick your friends as serious as motgfckr, it well cud be ur life depends on that decision there I guess, just hope nipsey fam begin to heal somebody trying to do better gets life cut short once more..bless nipsey loved ones with faith n strength to get thru all this, this man not deserve to die fr watevr was said period. 💐❤️
One of the best interviews I've seen in the last decade...!!!
Big u is speaking facts about the shock value with the music industry
CIA pumped all that into those neighbourhoods and laughed while they killed eachother
Bad enuf that the CIA is/was involved in many things (behind the scenes), like even behind things that happened to Prince Rogers Nelson
@The Man fuck you
I suppose CIA means the white man huh? 🤣
@The Man Quiet Incel, when real humans are talking.
Just because the devil offer it to you doesn't mean you have to take it.
This dude references a million interviews every interview
Vlad the biggest name dropper in the game
😂
Big U! Blessings brother from the chi
Body language says it all 😢 R.I.P NiP
This my first time seeing big u speak. Much respect OG!! And God bless!! OG BATTLE 104 CMG
Running away from cops isn't bcus of slavery I done it a few times, it's called not wanting to go to prison
DJ 420 no jackass. U don't get it.
mynellemail Nell shut it nell who put 50cents in u
DJ 420 You missed the point nvm
Stfu
And prison is the replication of slavery after the 13th amendment was passed and it became the only way to legally enslave a person.
Now that's an original O.G. for you. Keep up the great work Big U.
They need to make a movie about his life
Kurupt: Who's the King of New York?
Officer Vlad: Uhh Christopher Walken
Kurupt: WRONG!!!
