As a huge fan of STEEZ myself, and as someone who has done probably as much research on his life and career, I’ve gotta say this was very well done. A true deep dive. A bit more for anyone interested, Isaa Gold from The Underachievers made a comment under the music video for their track “Herb Shuttles” debunking any conspiracy theories while also positing the question why fans didn’t hold STEEZ with such reverence while he was still with us. The comment is still up to this day, though you may have to scroll to find it. Another very telling account from someone close to STEEZ came in the form of a track titled “Spirit of STEEZ” by Dyme A Duzin, an early inspiration and collaborator or STEEZ. Dyme speaks on his friend’s mental state by saying “homie told me he was so caught up in the studies, felt like he was Satan/ Really ain’t know how to take it”. Dyme also threw shots at Joey saying “I know that prodie a con, can tell by the way that he dress and his aura”, “Couldn’t beef with a 🥷’s fam and then wear his image on my chain/ Could’ve been a unit but they moving senseless, look how 🥷’s switch up for the change” & “Put you in the ground for thinking you PAC”. Dyme doesn’t name Joey specifically here (though he has in the past) but there is enough context in these lines for anyone who knows to put it together. There was also STEEZ tumblr account which had him replying to lots of questions from fans, though that may be inactive at this point. If anyone can find it, maybe they can link it. Just wanted to add some more. Thanks again for this 👊🏽ㄣ⃒
I just wish the crew could come back together for the love of Steez... My love be with your family and the crew Capital Steez, the Koolie Family Mafia love you and your missed. Rest well bro 💔
I been following STEEZ stuff since 2012. This was by far the most detailed, and finally someone painted us a picture of his journey using every piece of evidence we have. Towards the end this got hard to watch, I never knew about the stussy colab and store, wish I would’ve went. I was from Jersey
Dude this was a great video especially as someone who’s never went this deep into the history behind pro era it was an amazing way to learn about a group I used to truly adore keep being great man
defo feel that he was under some psychosis, man I just hope all is right with everyone consuming his music and to take his life as a lesson on all levels
I had never heard of him till now. I stopped the video 2 mins in to quickly check out some of his stuff. WOOOWWW! I'm hooked! Some of the best raps I've heard in a long time!
LONG LIVE CAPITAL STEEZ. My name “Steelokey” is partially a tribute to him. Although it originated from the “1996” song “Steelo” by the group 702. Cause I was born in Vegas in 96 haha & my name is Steven L. But he was one of my biggest influences when I started writing before I started recording.
It’s so dope that you have released this at this current time. I was just telling a new friend of mine about capital steez impact on rap/ culture. It’s nice to go through this time capsule and even nicer to see someone has put so much heart and passion into making a video essay of one of New Yorks latest and greatest . God bless 💕
Bro great job foreal best in depth video on someone that should be talked about more steez would love to see where he would be at today keep us updated on new content
Been a PE fan since the Survival Tactics video dropped in February 2012. This is a really well done documentary man. I also wish you could’ve showed STEEZ’s posts on Social Media as it really showed some insight into what was on his mind at the time, but I think you covered it very well for people who weren’t around during that era. I hope this gets a million views because it’s about time that one of my favorite rappers who influenced me on my musical journey will finally get his shine.
RIP STEEZ! I’m 28 now as of Aug 2nd, but I was deep onto Pro Era back when I was 17. 1999 was my shit back then listened to it religiously. Great post fam, we all felt this loss back then and still do. Dude was WOKE! I thought I was woke at 17 reading Manly P Hall and shit but dude was really conscious
Dude thank you so much for this. I’m only 20 minutes in cuz I’m watching it in 10 minute intervals when I take breaks as I fix my car. But man, this got me reminiscing on my highschool years & wanting to go download all my old steez music from my old computer so I can bump it in my car once it’s fixed. It’s sad a lot of it is not on streaming platforms except TH-cam & SoundCloud 😢 although he woulda probably preferred thatz
Great content bro, I promise you gonna grow & blow up 💯 keep the content the same- but trust the process and invest in yourself king. New mic needed asap.
I appreciate it so much! There’s always been an air of mystic to Steez but in telling his full story it was my goal to humanize this larger than life figure. Very glad I could do that and you caught it, much love
You forgot one thing. there’s a podcast that interviewed Joey bout getting Signed and Joey talked about how Fat joe wanted to sign him and steez but Joey denied and went with shipes so steez and him had friction between them.
Such a shame man. I can’t stand people who try to act like it’s not a fact that he committed suicide. It’s so disrespectful to not only Steez, but his friends; who these people accuse of colluding in or directly taking part in his death. A collab project with Steez and Chuck would’ve been amazing.
I have an amerikkkan korruption white tee it has the album name on the back, red pro era logo on the front, and the 47 on the sleeve, my favorite piece I own of all my clothes. Never knew what it’d be worth never seen it anywhere else. Original print merch too man I love that thing.
Part of me is mad at the Pro Era guys for being getting Steez more help and almost just “accepting” his suicidal ideation but then I remind myself they were just kids especially in late 2000s to early 2010s people weren’t educated on mental health/suicide signs back then and there weren’t as many mental health resources as there are nowadays
FYI : Did not k*ll himself real family, friends, and fans know this even his sister said he didnt jump off a damn building my boy was the sacrificial lamb for joey career #RestUpCapitalSTEEZ
@@preludethealbum I also noticed that this morning, the comment isn’t there anymore for some reason. I’m not sure if the person took down the comment themselves but I wonder why it not up anymore too
Could you imagine if Capital Steez could’ve linked up with the Alchemist or something like that
Still doesn’t mean he would be alive still. 🤷
@@DaleGribble0111🙄 use ur imagination more man
I like the way you think. Steez and the alchemist would create such a legacy ep/ album
@@DaleGribble0111 Lame Brain
I love this idea: 💡
Would’ve been legendary
Bro was so advanced at 19 imagine him at 31-32 today #longlivesteelo 👑

Dude looks and sounds like French Montana, but has made the best deep dive on Capital Steez on TH-cam. Respect!
He does sound like French lmao

Appreciate the feedback! Much love
This is a super quality video man. Thank you.
Damn this is wild to see. I’m a part of beatlampers and was on that final show he did.

Great job on this video. I hit you with a sub...
I look forward to seeing your future projects.
Keep up the good work.

Good job bro, subbed in.

Great content bro, I promise you gonna grow & blow up 💯 keep the content the same- but trust the process and invest in yourself king. New mic needed asap.
This was a beautifully crafted video. Happy people still think of STEEZ. #47 #longlivesteelo 🙏🏾‼️
Good job with this documentary. Steez's death seemed/still seems really mysterious, so it clouds his artistry. This re-humanizes him.
I appreciate it so much! There’s always been an air of mystic to Steez but in telling his full story it was my goal to humanize this larger than life figure. Very glad I could do that and you caught it, much love
You forgot one thing. there’s a podcast that interviewed Joey bout getting Signed and Joey talked about how Fat joe wanted to sign him and steez but Joey denied and went with shipes so steez and him had friction between them.
Good catch! I never knew that but that makes a lot of sense and definitely could’ve added to the tension
Such a shame man.
I can’t stand people who try to act like it’s not a fact that he committed suicide. It’s so disrespectful to not only Steez, but his friends; who these people accuse of colluding in or directly taking part in his death.
A collab project with Steez and Chuck would’ve been amazing.
This was a really well made documentary.
Watching from UK 👊🏾
Sorry for you loss brother great vid
From listening n1 to Joey, Capital Steez, Pro Era (1999) INSTANT FEELING of something special, badass, inspirational. So much. No beef btw brothers
Excellent video Rip 🪦 Steez

Thank you for this video. Also, rest in peace to your father.
