I didn't hear any exceptional knowledge. The man is 44 years old and is saying basic things and y'all are lapping it up. He's nostalgic, self-contradictory and bitter. Within the first 5 minutes, why was he laughing about the woman getting beaten up. Immature idiot that has no empathy nor remorse. A delayed sociopath. You can tell he's been abusive to women but he's preaching because it sounds good. You can tell he's lonely because he rambles. Where are all his loved ones after all these years? You can tell he's not an active father, too. But he lied about that. He is mad at this generation for wanting instant gratification but the fact that he went to prison and is a lifelong criminal shows that HE has no impulse control, himself. Just talking to hear himself talk. 44 and still calling himself the king. He doesn't get it. And he never will. Idiot.
@@justiceforthelpa6228 ??? He wasn’t laughing at a female getting beat if u watched the whole interview he said they tired of getting beat, their female & 100lbs .

@@venus-sg7je Aww, I hurt your feelings with the truth so now you sling whatever fantasies you have my way. Coddling and defending that grown man, a pimp no less, is why he's such a wreck. But of course, don't let the "Kang" hear any honest critique. That way, when he's 50 he can have another basic realisation and think he's doing something profound. Typing that much is easy. Don't read too much into the length, the accuracy of the content is what counts. Happy new year.
I appreciate anyone who is willing to be so honest and upfront in a interview. I may not respect some of their choices or lifestyles but that’s just me. Of all the pimp interviews I have watched on here, I would say this is the best one..
Honest my ASS. He started the interview claiming crack made his neighborhood turn to shit, as if it was a peaceful, prosperous community before this one illegal drug came along and ruined everything. If he was honest, he'd admit that his neighborhood was shit long before crack came along, and that people like HIM are the reason why.

@@kingringo For me, it's because they don't say anything meaningful (it's heaux-speak) to those of us who aren't from the streets, if it's even comprehensible at all. This man is different, thoughtful, authentic, knowledgeable, not programmed.
Watched most of your Pimp interviews and this one right here is by far the best. He’s the most knowledgeable out of the others you’ve interviewed when it comes to the game. 👌

Amazing interviewer? Respect to Mark for all he does, but his skills as an interviewer are on the bottom of his list of attributes. It’s the big picture that is amazing.
One of the best interviews yet. This dude spoke so much knowledge, so much truth. Thank you for this one. I’m going to have to watch it a couple of times so that I can soak up what he’s really saying.
Most insightful interview thus far. Coming out of Brooklyn in the same era as BK made me appreciate this one a little more than the rest. He perfectly described the conditions us as black & brown men in poverty stricken environments dealt with back then. Fast life. Faster consequences.. 44 years of age is more like 144 years of street knowledge. Good to know that dinosaurs still exist!
Wow, that's all I can say. As I was reading the comments from everyone saying this is the best interview, I thought to myself there's no way ... I was wrong. I stoped scrolling through the comments and actively listened to everything he said. So much wisdom and truth. Thanks for sharing Big Knowledge and as always great interview Mark! On a side note, Big Knowledge's crown of locs is some of the most beautiful hair I've ever seen, absolutely stunning!
I just introduced my brother to this channel yesterday and told him all of the interviews are worthwhile except the pimps. What does Mark do? Drop the best pimp interview I've seen. I mean, the guy quoted Warren Buffett!
Big Knowledge is the last of a dying breed. The way he explained the game as a catalyst to get to the next level and not to be a career is how it was always meant to be. Be smart and know what to place value on. 💯
Wow the fact so many people on this thread are in awe of what he's saying is shocking. Ma'am what he's spitting is basic financial knowledge. These are elementary principles. Wow
This was one of the best interviews by far Mark. This man was a fountain of valuable information and is so intelligent, he would make a great speaker for the young g's today. Loved this.
I actually really enjoyed this video. I found BK to be extremely wise and articulate. I also see a very tender side to him when he talks about his children, particularly his daughter. I have watched several interviews and this one is one of my favorites. I truly believe in the value of all people and that we can learn something from everyone. Thank you, Mark, for continuing to do these and thank you, BK for also doing this video. I thoroughly enjoyed listening, to you.
One of the best Pimp interviews thus far. You can tell it's all business and common sense with this dude. Good economic knowledge that probably comes from the amount of money he realized he wasted in the past.
A lot of us be curious about the stuff that be discussed on your interviews Mark. Keep it up great job! And kudos to everyone who have been part of your show opening up and sharing.
@@laraoneal7284 that fact that what he's saying is shocking 😳 alot of people is whats wrong with our country, we lack the basics in financial knowledge. What he's saying is basically common sense. Us citizens began getting brainwashed into material things starting in the 80s with Hollywood movies
Damn Mark. This man Big Knowledge is one of your best pimp interviews. Very intelligent and well spoken. He is a prime example of why proper education is important in any line of work. 😎 keep the interviews coming
@@Straightjacket154 intelligent, clever, and brilliant mean having a good amount of mental ability. intelligent is used of a person who can handle new situations and solve problems. We need an intelligent person to run the company. clever is used of a person who learns very quickly.
@@Straightjacket154 In order for a person to give his/her life experiences in a nut shell takes some courage. This interviewee uses the same dialogue as some political leaders today, only with different vocabulary says it all. Each story on this channel allows for society to potentially understand why they do what they do. Passing judgement on someone for speaking their truth is not what this channel is about. Maybe another RUclips channel would be more suitable for you…?🤔😐
@@ye9321 I guess you’re one of these hippies that believes in not passing judgment. We ALL pass judgement. Wether you like to admit it or not. Pretending you’re high and mighty by not passing judgment. We all need chastisement from time to time. Myself included. It’s the new “PC” fad right now, “judgement free.”
Iv watched so many interviews. I definitely can say this has personally stood out to me so much more than the others. Especially growing up in this era of social media and wanting validation from others. I never cared about any of that and wish others my age would do the same
One of the most real interviews ive seen on your channel yet!! There is something about his character that stands out! He's so full of knowledge and information. Beyond intelligent! Please do an update on him!!
@@wesleyAlan9179 I most certainly didn't! If you actually listen to what he says and break it all down, it's wisdom! I'd never step into that lifestyle, so your comment is honestly irrelevant. Everything he said about the differences from then and now is all correct.
@@wesleyAlan9179 anyone with any type of true street knowledge knows how honest & real this guy actually was about the game. Watching his interview and comparing it to alot of the other pimp interviews, he was the most authentic about it in my opinion.
@@chelseajames6550 Just because someone knows exactly what to say (even if its true) doesn't mean they're a great "real" person. Pimps are real big pieces of shits. Don't let their silver tongue lead you to believe they are a great person inside, because they ain't, they are Predators, preying on the weak and narrow minded, and downtrodden, and calling it a "game". Now thats real talk and anyone who can see right though a B.S person will agree. Still,no disrespect to you.
I was hesitant to watch this.But this has been the most informative interview about the streets and how they used to be run. It absolutely matches with what other interviewers had said. I could've listened longer. Great interview, interesting guy!
Big Knowledge, Wow, that last story you shared... Thanks for taking the time for the interview. Love your voice - could listen to you for hours. Wishing you the very best.
A camel sports jacket is classic style. Doesn't scream, "look at me!" I like what Big Knowledge said about wearing jewelry. If you don't tempt people, your more likely to stay safe.
I notice how he is a master manipulator. He commands the conversation perfectly. He doesn’t really talk about how his decisions/ experience affect him and his feelings. He is quick to deflect.
I thought that too. I liked it, found him captivating. Great interview, don't get me wrong. But I couldn't help but think, man, this guy is a narcisssit. Lol
Wow... speechless..... this is pure knowledge. He said if you 30 and you the same man when you was 20 you just wasted 10 years of your life...🦾 THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MIN.....Best interview I seen Mark...💯
Google why he was incarcerated. Most of the guys can drop gems based off of their experience. This image he’s depicting is not who he is . Perceval Williams arrested in New Jersey
This is an amazing interview. I feel as though it has opened my mind to hood culture of the early 2000s, and I was shocked to find the morals that Big Knowledge has that are in line with my own. Though our choices in life may have been different, I think we’ve arrived to the same conclusions about what really matters in life. Ecclesiastes all the way.
I think a lot of what Big Knowledge has to say about the game nowadays translates directly to analyzing modern life in general. The notion of taking goofy pictures and living a pretend, empty existence in the name of sort desperate, incessant state of self promotion. I loved when he said, “where’s the reality in that?” Such a good question that I have to remind myself to ask whenever I get locked into a social media based headspace. It is tempting nowadays to put the cart that is online promotion before the horse that is real life. Enjoyed this talk a lot.
Once he calmed down and got through the origins of getting into the life and started getting into the intricacies and psychology involved in his life and the people he got to know it’s something else. He’s taking a subject deep and complex breaking it down in detail but with a simplistic subtlety to it.
This is BY FAR my favorite Interview you've done !! This man is remarkable. I was sitting here with my husband taking financial advice lol. Very intelligent, genuine, true to his self and his craft guy. !!!
I have been watching so many different people sit in that seat and talk. This particular interview it's probably one of the most insightful I've seen so far. Truly enjoyed the whole thing, I appreciate this guy.
This actually was one of the best interviews I saw so far. Knowledge just flowed from this dude. I saved him in my "pimp" category before I watched him. After I watched the video I moved him to my "educational" section.
This some game that people pay real deal money for. We gotta realize how much of a miracle it is that we can even heard the voice of a real P such as this. I appreciate you for having him on
I am successful business woman, happily married with children and live a blessed life. However, I LOVE listening to these interviews and for less than an hour I’m in a completely different world. This gentleman is truly intelligent and enjoyed his conversation and view. I truly believe if there has to Pimps, etc which is just apart of the game, women would do very well being on his team. There have been so many clowns (pimps) that have been interviewed on here and I’m always thinking who in their right mind would ever deal with him?! Lol, however- he is probably the pick of the litter “in that world” on the streets. Hahaha anyways, just my take.. Great interview, real recognize real. He’s solid, and has me very intrigued.
Thank you. An ultra fine interview. Lived in Brooklyn in the 80s , corporate legal proofreader on Wall St, mergers & aquisitions. Love seeing what BK was up to in that seductive, musical, screaming city. He has it alright, OG, indeed. Many blessings ~
He spoke some real ass shit I got mad respect for him 💯 when he was explaining about when the girl finally gets tired of getting her ass whooped and her money taken and she leaves he described the situation I was in with my old pimp to a T. I decided enough was enough in January of last year I never thought I was going to get out but I’m thankful every day that I’m still alive because I know for a fact if I would’ve stayed I wouldn’t be 💯
I’m so glad you did. I’ve been there. Any real pimp, just like any real man, wouldn’t want you to put up with that. Yet I had that, “Stay down for your crown” mentality. Abusers and exploiters don’t do what’s “vital to the title,” as Sinful the P says. Don’t ever stay down to somebody who’s not down for you. Period. I’m glad there are still people out there like the old school, who value and invest in those who do the same for them. The first pimp I had was like that, so I know it’s not all lip service. You have to go against popular ignorance to express that view the way BK does. My man always says that speaking ill of me is to do the same to himself. Hurting me is hurting himself. He even told me I should love the tricks. In a way, he’s right. Hating your bread and butter is bad business and bad human relations, period. Now I hate the larger social structure that created the business and the trick/Ho dynamic (poverty/inequality, etc), but take each man as an individual. They didn’t create that structure. It has helped me to not be bitter, because what goes around comes around. Abusive men are angry at a lot of things too, but, if they were smart, it wouldn’t be us.
Hope Asriah from one of Marks other interviews sees your comment or maybe you can comment on her interview. She has 2 boys she's dragged (still dragging) through the life with her.
Mark this was (in my mind) the best interview! The hard true facts ..honor, respect and love. It is refreshing for the realness of the game and the consequences of the life one lives.
I really judged this interview by the thumbnail like a fool. This is one of the best interviews in awhile. Nice shout out to Rakim also, he plays one hell of a show.
In the beginning when he says “when u watch your neighborhood turn to shit” u can see the sadness take over in his eyes. It’s horrible what the crack epidemic did to the black community. Really makes u think how different life would be if it hadn’t took over.
Man this was one of the best. He and Sharp are a representation of "the kid that did". This is proof that you can't judge a man by his past❤ He should be speaking to the youth
Big Knowledge is so smart and inspiring. He knows the truth about the posers who think they "look" good. All the filters and fake sh*t is ridiculous. I like how he uses all the metaphors and applies it to his life. He sees the big picture and how all the pieces move and what each one does - good and bad. Thank you, Mark for all your interviews and your humble approach to humanity. These make me want to be more open to human-kind.
I definitely see how he earned his name. Suits him well. Out of all the pimp interviews this is by far the best one, to me. Plz have him back for a follow up, I would like to hear more from him!
I absolutely love this man. What he speaks is truth. I relate to what he is talking about. I was raised in the streets and learned to hustle very young. Keeping a roof over my head since I was 13. I'm very blessed to be out of that lifestyle. Some years were really hard and a struggle and some were kind of great but overall I like my life much more where I am now. The game has changed bc everyone is out for themselves it used to be a circle and your circle looked out for each other but it all changed and everyone's so cold.
Phenomenal interview! Just by the title one would think it is a story about the "game" etc. In actuality, a journey of growth along with explaining the other side of that coin. Will watch this a few this year.
This was a very good interview. Its not often that people really talk about the good and bad in that lifestyle. Nice Job Mark!! Salute to Big Knowledge
Out of all the 'pimp' interviews this!! Cool, articulate, and smooth story telling. No hype or ego driven speak. Many guys can't formulate clear intelligible sentences just jumbled up delusions. Don't know how he actually performed his business activities seems like he could have earned respect.
@@emilyward4388, about life. What he's talking about applies to everything not just his past about how people see money, how money rules people. He touched on many topics
@@k_roc200-32 thank you! I almost lost my peace. Malcolm X was a pimp. He did seminars at Berkley and every where else. The man has a story that he's not glorifying but just telling about the intricacies of what he's gone through. I'm not saying the seminars are for young kids or someone like @Emily Ward who just sees him as a pimp but for those of us who wonder hows, whys, and whats about street life that's all. He is very well spoken
Mark thank you so much for bringing Big Knowledge in for an interview. I hope he speaks to young men and women they need to hear this message before is too late. Wow I could have him longer. Big Knowledge I hope you come back and let Mark interview again you have a lot of to spread. Thank you
Yes! Just the clear headed logic I needed on this day in my life. What an inspiration. We never start learning if we open ourselves to ALL examples of truth and knowledge. I really like this guy. Thank you for the spark. Genuinely.
Great job it Mark from Big Knowledge "King of Midtown" #KDVINE_ent

She ready to choose up 😂😂
Grand Master interviews was fire too
BIG UP ! Brooklyn. My hometown 💯🙏🏻
please do follow ups on this man. such an interesting interview, one of my favorites in the series.
This was one of the best interviews by far Mark. This man was a fountain of valuable information and is so intelligent, he would make a great speaker for the young g's today. Loved this.
This is the best interview of a pimp I’ve heard yet!! He’s got so much knowledge! Big knowledge
I Don’t know him but what I do know is Big Knowledge is a real one. Great interview Mark, packed with authenticity and wisdom.
I love this episode. This man knew what he was talking about and was dropping knowledge.
👏
I actually really enjoyed this video. I found BK to be extremely wise and articulate. I also see a very tender side to him when he talks about his children, particularly his daughter. I have watched several interviews and this one is one of my favorites. I truly believe in the value of all people and that we can learn something from everyone. Thank you, Mark, for continuing to do these and thank you, BK for also doing this video. I thoroughly enjoyed listening, to you.
Stupid people are easily impressed. You found this guy wise and articulate? You need to go back to kindergarten.
That's a nice compliment. But saying a Black person is articulate is totally not a compliment at all.
@ud558 I mean... it depend on who you speaking to. N how he heard it.
"I Ain't gotta be your friend to win wit cha" woww most logical thing I've heard! Wish more people knew that!
One of the best Pimp interviews thus far. You can tell it's all business and common sense with this dude. Good economic knowledge that probably comes from the amount of money he realized he wasted in the past.
This man is as real as real gets. He spoke the truth, gave real game. The best interview so far.
Far and away THE best pimp interview. One of the best interviews I've heard in a while period
A lot of us be curious about the stuff that be discussed on your interviews Mark. Keep it up great job! And kudos to everyone who have been part of your show opening up and sharing.
This was one damn good interview
I thought it was excellent. 👍👏👏👏
Yess💙 A rare treasure
Yes excellent content here. This guy is on target 💯.
Why?
@@laraoneal7284 that fact that what he's saying is shocking 😳 alot of people is whats wrong with our country, we lack the basics in financial knowledge. What he's saying is basically common sense. Us citizens began getting brainwashed into material things starting in the 80s with Hollywood movies
Damn Mark. This man Big Knowledge is one of your best pimp interviews. Very intelligent and well spoken. He is a prime example of why proper education is important in any line of work. 😎 keep the interviews coming
Wow, you think this guy sounds intelligent?
@@Straightjacket154 intelligent, clever, and brilliant mean having a good amount of mental ability. intelligent is used of a person who can handle new situations and solve problems. We need an intelligent person to run the company. clever is used of a person who learns very quickly.
@@ye9321 you could dance around the subject. People now a days have realllllllly low standards.
@@Straightjacket154 In order for a person to give his/her life experiences in a nut shell takes some courage. This interviewee uses the same dialogue as some political leaders today, only with different vocabulary says it all. Each story on this channel allows for society to potentially understand why they do what they do. Passing judgement on someone for speaking their truth is not what this channel is about. Maybe another RUclips channel would be more suitable for you…?🤔😐
@@ye9321 I guess you’re one of these hippies that believes in not passing judgment. We ALL pass judgement. Wether you like to admit it or not. Pretending you’re high and mighty by not passing judgment. We all need chastisement from time to time. Myself included. It’s the new “PC” fad right now, “judgement free.”
Knowing how to live the game is a whole different mentality!! I can appreciate this interview. I respect this man!! 🤩🤩
Iv watched so many interviews. I definitely can say this has personally stood out to me so much more than the others. Especially growing up in this era of social media and wanting validation from others. I never cared about any of that and wish others my age would do the same
💯
:)
Cuz he go bro bring him back for more.
Aye u standin out to me from all these comments baby 😘
One of the most real interviews ive seen on your channel yet!! There is something about his character that stands out! He's so full of knowledge and information. Beyond intelligent! Please do an update on him!!
"Big Knowledge"
Pftttt!🤭
You just got tricked!
~no disrespect to you
@@wesleyAlan9179 I most certainly didn't! If you actually listen to what he says and break it all down, it's wisdom! I'd never step into that lifestyle, so your comment is honestly irrelevant. Everything he said about the differences from then and now is all correct.
@@wesleyAlan9179 anyone with any type of true street knowledge knows how honest & real this guy actually was about the game. Watching his interview and comparing it to alot of the other pimp interviews, he was the most authentic about it in my opinion.
@@chelseajames6550
Just because someone knows exactly what to say (even if its true) doesn't mean they're a great "real" person. Pimps are real big pieces of shits. Don't let their silver tongue lead you to believe they are a great person inside, because they ain't, they are Predators, preying on the weak and narrow minded, and downtrodden, and calling it a "game". Now thats real talk and anyone who can see right though a B.S person will agree. Still,no disrespect to you.
Brilliant
I was hesitant to watch this.But this has been the most informative interview about the streets and how they used to be run. It absolutely matches with what other interviewers had said. I could've listened longer. Great interview, interesting guy!
Big Knowledge, Wow, that last story you shared... Thanks for taking the time for the interview.
Love your voice - could listen to you for hours.
Wishing you the very best.
A camel sports jacket is classic style. Doesn't scream, "look at me!"
I like what Big Knowledge said about wearing jewelry. If you don't tempt people, your more likely to stay safe.
Camel Bruno Magli Jacket?
💯. I think it’s Sinful the P who talks about not feasting in front of starving men. Very wise.
This was the exact gem i needed to hear to move forward in my life! Big knowledge is a very wise & stand up dude!
This Man is quite correct- Old School and Honest.
TRUE SCHOOL.
I notice how he is a master manipulator. He commands the conversation perfectly. He doesn’t really talk about how his decisions/ experience affect him and his feelings. He is quick to deflect.
Well he is a pimp what do you except
Well put. 🤔
@@denanewton1518 not only that but he needs to be cautious as to what he says as to not self incriminate himself.
I thought that too. I liked it, found him captivating. Great interview, don't get me wrong. But I couldn't help but think, man, this guy is a narcisssit. Lol
Because he is dead inside, he must be to be doing what he does..
Wow... speechless..... this is pure knowledge. He said if you 30 and you the same man when you was 20 you just wasted 10 years of your life...🦾 THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MIN.....Best interview I seen Mark...💯
the fact you think this is deep tells me how this guy was a successful pimp. Suckas everywhere
That's common sense potna
I feel like this was just a scratch on the surface of what this guy has to offer as far as knowledge. Gems on gems on gems. Amazing interview my guy.
Google why he was incarcerated. Most of the guys can drop gems based off of their experience. This image he’s depicting is not who he is . Perceval Williams arrested in New Jersey
@@Jess-ls8mo :(((((((( Damn. You’re saying I got bamboozled???
This is an amazing interview. I feel as though it has opened my mind to hood culture of the early 2000s, and I was shocked to find the morals that Big Knowledge has that are in line with my own. Though our choices in life may have been different, I think we’ve arrived to the same conclusions about what really matters in life. Ecclesiastes all the way.
He had some gems in this one
Yeah he did, I was taking notes and I'm not even I the streets
Okay!
I think a lot of what Big Knowledge has to say about the game nowadays translates directly to analyzing modern life in general. The notion of taking goofy pictures and living a pretend, empty existence in the name of sort desperate, incessant state of self promotion. I loved when he said, “where’s the reality in that?” Such a good question that I have to remind myself to ask whenever I get locked into a social media based headspace. It is tempting nowadays to put the cart that is online promotion before the horse that is real life. Enjoyed this talk a lot.
By far my favorite interview. We NEED him and his knowledge in this world. These young guys are lost.
I actually like this Pimp. He’s not trying to be more than he is and not speaking in riddles 🙄
Right
i'm sure he'll like you too, go say what's up. They're not all bad right?
It's NY, we don't have time for that :)
@@LOLman21213 That’s not even what he was implying
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman you are right, I wouldn’t like him.
OMG the ending really got my tears! If the whole content is gold, then the ending is diamond!
Favorite pimp interview to date. Literally the only one who made any sense whatsoever. Plus he was speaking nothing but facts.
Once he calmed down and got through the origins of getting into the life and started getting into the intricacies and psychology involved in his life and the people he got to know it’s something else. He’s taking a subject deep and complex breaking it down in detail but with a simplistic subtlety to it.
“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”
Perfectly stated!
True wisdom right here, his name couldn’t be anymore fitting
Thank you, Big Knowledge.
That was surprisingly better than anticipated.
This is BY FAR my favorite Interview you've done !! This man is remarkable. I was sitting here with my husband taking financial advice lol. Very intelligent, genuine, true to his self and his craft guy. !!!
Can we PLEASE get a second part to this interview? Talk about raw, unaffected honesty..
The best interview of the year so far
One of the BEST interviews to date. Beautiful and so full of raw wisdom. Thank you Mark for bringing his authenticity to the screen.
This man gave out so many gems in this interview.
I have been watching so many different people sit in that seat and talk. This particular interview it's probably one of the most insightful I've seen so far. Truly enjoyed the whole thing, I appreciate this guy.
This actually was one of the best interviews I saw so far. Knowledge just flowed from this dude. I saved him in my "pimp" category before I watched him. After I watched the video I moved him to my "educational" section.
This ^^
WASNT it tho…yesss
You have hit a gold mine Big Knowledge has given a lot of insight into culture, codes, respect, values etc.great interview.
I love how the street interviews start with a "i love my facade" to "this facade life sucks but its all i know"
Big Knowledge seemed very self-aware the whole time.
@@brittaolson6550 👍👏👏👏
@@brittaolson6550 @Britta Olson we all make the choices we decide make.. tomato toMAHto but my 🍅 ass aint doing none of that.
This is one of the best interviews ever! Real and Informative Viewpoints from Big Knowledge!
This some game that people pay real deal money for. We gotta realize how much of a miracle it is that we can even heard the voice of a real P such as this. I appreciate you for having him on
Easiest interview for Mark. The guy asked his own questions and answered them. 😂
We need more of this man right here Mark
You shouldn’t have stopped this ! Definitely need a part 2 !
Finally someone speaking the truth about the younger generation and Instagram, drugs and frontin!
I am successful business woman, happily married with children and live a blessed life. However, I LOVE listening to these interviews and for less than an hour I’m in a completely different world. This gentleman is truly intelligent and enjoyed his conversation and view. I truly believe if there has to Pimps, etc which is just apart of the game, women would do very well being on his team. There have been so many clowns (pimps) that have been interviewed on here and I’m always thinking who in their right mind would ever deal with him?! Lol, however- he is probably the pick of the litter “in that world” on the streets. Hahaha anyways, just my take.. Great interview, real recognize real. He’s solid, and has me very intrigued.
Do you have daughters? Before you glorify him, realize that he pimped out underage girls.
Thank you. An ultra fine interview. Lived in Brooklyn in the 80s , corporate legal proofreader on Wall St, mergers & aquisitions. Love seeing what BK was up to in that seductive, musical, screaming city. He has it alright, OG, indeed. Many blessings ~
Charisma and confidence is off the charts. He's the real deal Holyfield ...
He spoke some real ass shit I got mad respect for him 💯 when he was explaining about when the girl finally gets tired of getting her ass whooped and her money taken and she leaves he described the situation I was in with my old pimp to a T. I decided enough was enough in January of last year I never thought I was going to get out but I’m thankful every day that I’m still alive because I know for a fact if I would’ve stayed I wouldn’t be 💯
I’m so glad you did. I’ve been there. Any real pimp, just like any real man, wouldn’t want you to put up with that. Yet I had that, “Stay down for your crown” mentality. Abusers and exploiters don’t do what’s “vital to the title,” as Sinful the P says. Don’t ever stay down to somebody who’s not down for you. Period. I’m glad there are still people out there like the old school, who value and invest in those who do the same for them. The first pimp I had was like that, so I know it’s not all lip service. You have to go against popular ignorance to express that view the way BK does. My man always says that speaking ill of me is to do the same to himself. Hurting me is hurting himself. He even told me I should love the tricks. In a way, he’s right. Hating your bread and butter is bad business and bad human relations, period. Now I hate the larger social structure that created the business and the trick/Ho dynamic (poverty/inequality, etc), but take each man as an individual. They didn’t create that structure. It has helped me to not be bitter, because what goes around comes around. Abusive men are angry at a lot of things too, but, if they were smart, it wouldn’t be us.
A real P gon have you leaving ahead when time come….. we can’t stay in the game forever Ps or Hos but there’s always an end game.
Hope Asriah from one of Marks other interviews sees your comment or maybe you can comment on her interview. She has 2 boys she's dragged (still dragging) through the life with her.
Glad you walk away baby 💯
only people like you can relate to this bullshit coming out of his mouth. The rest of us are just disgusted and uninterested
Mark this was (in my mind) the best interview! The hard true facts ..honor, respect and love. It is refreshing for the realness of the game and the consequences of the life one lives.
That’s y I tuned in… I needed to hear that!!! Never run out of game💯💪🏿
I really judged this interview by the thumbnail like a fool. This is one of the best interviews in awhile. Nice shout out to Rakim also, he plays one hell of a show.
In the beginning when he says “when u watch your neighborhood turn to shit” u can see the sadness take over in his eyes. It’s horrible what the crack epidemic did to the black community. Really makes u think how different life would be if it hadn’t took over.
Man this was one of the best. He and Sharp are a representation of "the kid that did". This is proof that you can't judge a man by his past❤ He should be speaking to the youth
What’s another great one, in your opinion? I’m new to this channel.
@@clkk3rd1 must be sharp
He was literally laughing about a woman getting beaten
Lol this is a masterclass in manipulation. You think this dudes woman are gonna tell the same story? Please
...but you can judge a man by his hair 😁
Big Knowledge is so smart and inspiring. He knows the truth about the posers who think they "look" good. All the filters and fake sh*t is ridiculous. I like how he uses all the metaphors and applies it to his life. He sees the big picture and how all the pieces move and what each one does - good and bad. Thank you, Mark for all your interviews and your humble approach to humanity. These make me want to be more open to human-kind.
Do he tho
I definitely see how he earned his name. Suits him well. Out of all the pimp interviews this is by far the best one, to me. Plz have him back for a follow up, I would like to hear more from him!
This pimp really helped me understand my finances.😅
Lol! Me too!
How?.....just curious
dont blow up you money 😅
Let me check my crypto real quick!🤣
@@travispowell7835 America education system lacks financial literacy
Best interview on this channel. This guy is a legend! Humble and respectful 🔥
I absolutely love this man. What he speaks is truth. I relate to what he is talking about. I was raised in the streets and learned to hustle very young. Keeping a roof over my head since I was 13. I'm very blessed to be out of that lifestyle. Some years were really hard and a struggle and some were kind of great but overall I like my life much more where I am now. The game has changed bc everyone is out for themselves it used to be a circle and your circle looked out for each other but it all changed and everyone's so cold.
Absolutely loved hearing his perspective on life and everything else, especially social media and flexing things people own
Phenomenal interview! Just by the title one would think it is a story about the "game" etc. In actuality, a journey of growth along with explaining the other side of that coin. Will watch this a few this year.
Me too
I love it when the interviews become stories. We really get to understand their actions. The only pimp story I could finish watching .
This was a very good interview. Its not often that people really talk about the good and bad in that lifestyle. Nice Job Mark!! Salute to Big Knowledge
Many great interviews on this channel. This is possibly one of the best interviews I've seen here on Soft White Underbelly.
Out of all the 'pimp' interviews this!!
Cool, articulate, and smooth story telling. No hype or ego driven speak. Many guys can't formulate clear intelligible sentences just jumbled up delusions. Don't know how he actually performed his business activities seems like he could have earned respect.
I really appreciate this interview. He really could do seminars of what he learned and what he's doing now. Very good
Seminars about being a pimp?
@@emilyward4388 LOL!
@@emilyward4388, about life. What he's talking about applies to everything not just his past about how people see money, how money rules people. He touched on many topics
@@k_roc200-32 thank you! I almost lost my peace. Malcolm X was a pimp. He did seminars at Berkley and every where else.
The man has a story that he's not glorifying but just telling about the intricacies of what he's gone through. I'm not saying the seminars are for young kids or someone like @Emily Ward who just sees him as a pimp but for those of us who wonder hows, whys, and whats about street life that's all. He is very well spoken
@@emilyward4388 seriously???
Mark thank you so much for bringing Big Knowledge in for an interview. I hope he speaks to young men and women they need to hear this message before is too late. Wow I could have him longer. Big Knowledge I hope you come back and let Mark interview again you have a lot of to spread. Thank you
I wonder what message he gave to the 14 year old children that he was pimping out?
Yes! Just the clear headed logic I needed on this day in my life. What an inspiration. We never start learning if we open ourselves to ALL examples of truth and knowledge. I really like this guy. Thank you for the spark. Genuinely.
this one was my favorite, thank youMark🙏🏿 Lot of wisdom.God bless you both .
This was a great interview, hope to see him again if possible.
Stay positive BK, name fits too🤙🍻💨
Definitely one of my favorite out of all the interviews I’ve binged on today. I wish I could meet this King
