Detroit Street History is Legendary ion think they realize how many documentaries or movies could come out Based on Detroit Street culture Salute to The Chambers Brothers 💪🏾💚💯💚💯
That's all let that junk go all you doing is glorifying something that killed a whole lot of brothers and sisters find something that else to do I know Detroit is a horrible and I'm from California Emma Vietnam vet I seen all the war
I hope when i tell mi and my mother's story I can find some folks from YBI.... My mama had a coat they gave her. Now I'm thinking he's why they loved my mama being she was from West STL and Crossette Arkansas. We stayed in Detroit for a lil bit. 8 mile and Schaefer even moved up to our own dope house. Detroit was crazy in mid to the early 80"s
@WrenfordDennard-wu8jz They dont count for nothing in the culture. Good people are squares who are foolish, and people who bring destruction for the love of money are "legends" and are what the youth should aspire to be like.
My mom's side of the family are from Little Rock. Legend has it my great grand dad beat up a police officer and moved the whole family to the D the next day because he was afraid of being lynched.
Dang.....I'm truly enjoying this interview with BJ. Having flash backs and everything. Those was great days back then. Especially being from the D and knowing mostly everyone he talking bout.
I had to rewatch this interview.When Bj first came home I was dating his daughter she moved to Arkansas when he was released from the halfway house I moved down there with them for a second he is exactly who he is in this interview a real good guy much love and respect BJ from Tank💯
Luv or hate him dude seems like a real likable guy im sure he would've been a giant in any legit business if circumstances were different .good interview
Well how come he wasn’t legit , a giant my ass , everybody didn’t wanna sell drugs we took jobs we didn’t like , who in the hell wanna be a drug dealer , a one way ticket to hell selling the shit to pregnant women
It was so many big dogs in the D back in the day it was like the avengers, hitman too & they started young. Detroit might have the most notorious kingpins in history if you really do research
@@dGuthrie1-hc2rxI understand what you're trying to say, but those that wanted it was going to get it regardless of who was selling it. So if black people never sold it white people or other races would've sold it to them.
@@dGuthrie1-hc2rxOur people are DONE PERIOD! Drugs totally destroyed our community and these sad sacks are glorifying this nonsense. Go figure! God please help my people.
@@dGuthrie1-hc2rxMan stop it, he didn’t , it was planned and executed by somebody higher up than him, he was only the tool used by the government. We didn’t bring this stuff into this country, cities etc,. If it wasn’t him, it would have been some other black man. Why you think those prices fell so drastically, to make that product more attainable so that more young black men can be placed behind bars for it. I have yet to hear about one black man from the inner city that owned a plane, nor manufactured firearms. That stuff was planted by others and those young blacks just gravitated towards that bullshit and basically did their job for them. They wanted us gone from those inner cities so that they could reclaim that land. You do know what gentrification means?…..
Man, lot of these men seem like really decent people, just out making a living. They always make it look like these boys were terrible and violent people?! Out in LA they always portray as being people getting smoke every fucking day and shit, same down in Chicago. These guys in these interviews don't carry they selves like that, which I think is solid!
New follower from Delaware,and I wasn’t familiar with the Chamber Family! This was a great interview kept my ears open as I listened at work. Mr. Chamber looks great ✊🏾💪🏾
Great interview you seem to cover everything many have been waiting to hear thanks you are unique at what u do and to BJ Chambers despite your past life You a good man.
My pops from Detroit 313 my second home love it I remember my father getting me out of Detroit after I graduated middle school was mad and he was like if I don't get you out of Detroit now you either gone ball or sell dope and when I speak to some of my family in Detroit and ask what happen to the kids I grew up wit they either out the game in jail or dead and I never got to tell my pops thank you I get it now I ♥️ the 313

Started at American gangster in 06-07 and been following them ever since. These interviews are dope af so we can see how they really are. Dude seems like a real down to earth person for real
I first heard of the chambers brothers when i was watching bet back in 2007 and america gangster did a episode on them thats how i heard of them and found out new jack city was made after them because the director of the movie had been following the chambers brothers story since the late 80s so he decided to make a movie similar to the chambers crxck empire.
This man clearly understood how captialism and economics worked at a young age, sure it was illegal but he ran a business with no formal education, this man and others are proof that black men in the ghetto under the right conditions are natural born businessmen and capitalists and master marketers
There is nothing "natural" about selling a product that is chemically addictive. Most of these former drug dealers don't become successful in real business. He said he is starting a record label, let's see how that goes. He is like the Africans who sold other Africans to Europeans. They destroyed communities and their own people for materialism.
I heard about the chambers back in the 1980s, from my home state of ohio. these guys were on the news all the way down in the North- west and north east area of ohio, oh and the glass city of Toledo knows too.
Im from NJ but I always wondered what happened to the young girl that was good cookin 👨🍳 up had her own cars at 12 years old …Their story is legendary
Cough syrup been out since the 60s when I came off the stoop in the early 80s in Bmore they sold that syrup and Dortins(pills) they called the syrup "sticky" and Dortins in Philly they called it Pancakes and syrup my uncle knew some cats that hit a pharmacy for the syrup and pills they had some morphine syrup that had green specks in it dudes came from Philly to get that…
Great info on the pill and lean game. A lot of people don’t know it was a thing in many city’s. Coke was too expensive Bach in the day and no crack yet. This guy was a hustling mf and very smart to stay outa beef especially in the 80s
You this channel the truth we need the Currys on this joint soon. Dam it would have been really live if you could have gotten "Big Ed' on here, but he recently got locked back up for havig a few bricks an some shit on him
Real hustlers these dudes used to be in my living room Evanston & annsbury second house off the corner right in the back of harper lanes salute to the chambers Marlo had a ferro and bj had a red Jimmy
You can tell BJ a solid dude raised right sticking to his morals and principles til this day. Great story telling ability sky’s the limit with the mindset he has just gotta adjust to the new way of doing things.
I can't wait until a major network like Starz or HBO make a whole series about The Chambers Brothers...BJ was and is a genius and great man! There would not be a BMF if it had not have been The Chambers Brothers! I'm anticipating turning on my television and seeing them shine!
I know that it seems impossible to most, but it was definitely a possibility back then. Money was being made hand over foot. You heard him say that they had so much money that they didn't know what to do with the 1's, 5's, 10's, and the 20's. Now, just think about how much that was just in small bills.
Real money was made back then. The dope boy's were the celebrities in the 80's. The rappers were broke and they looked up to the dope boys. You're not going to be able to understand it.
@@carpediem4512 Naw, they was as people used say "BOOM'IN"! Back then spots made $10,000 a day easy. No even a busy spot. Not even on a busy street. If you got 5 or 10 of these slow spots? That's $50,000 to $100,000/day. So, imagine if you have 5 or 10 spots doing $15,000 - $25,000 or more? Remember when the crack era first started. It was no $5 rock houses. Most people had $20, $50, $100 rock spots. There were a lot of 8-ball only spots. The $10 rock came later. BLACK PEOPLE had jobs, businesses, homes and and savings. Lots of BLACK PEOPLE had cabins up North and boats. These would not be rich people but working class BLACK PEOPLE with auto industry or related industry jobs. CRACK FUCKED ALL THAT OFF! CRACK tore the EASTSIDE apart.
