Part 2: • Roger Bonds on Survivi...
Roger Bonds sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview, and Shawn Prez started off speaking about their longstanding friendship. Roger started off speaking about growing up in Harlem on 155th Street, and he explained that his parents had five kids between them. Roger added that his life began when he was 12 and realized that his father wasn’t coming home, which led to him getting heavy in the street life. Shawn pointed out that Roger was known as a “thorough street dude,” and Roger went on to speak about having a rough time when he was living with his parents in the home. He added that this led to him wanting to be out of the home and in the streets.
Moving along, Roger talked about growing up in the Polo Grounds projects during the crack era before explaining his fascination with gun culture. Roger reveals that he earned his name "Bonds" do to his proficiency with a firearm and his admiration for the famous James Bond character. This prompts his long-time friend, Shawn Prez, to admit that even he didn't know Bonds wasn't his real name. Moving along, Roger talks looks back on his days as a drug dealer before sharing some of the tactics that he used to lead his crew. Lastly, Roger spoke about knowing Rich Porter and Alpo Martinez, who he pointed out were in high school when they were getting big money in the streets. When asked about Rich Porter's death, Roger revealed that he was locked up when he heard the news, and he added that he wasn't surprised when he heard that Alpo was behind his death.

Cool interview had me interested but I’m not subscribing
That introduction doe well said playboi~☆
Bro interview Jada Kiss
He nailed that about having two parents in an unhealthy environment
Facts! Your environment plays a more pivotal role in influencing a person
Big facts. It don't mean you grew up good cause you had both parents at home
on god he gave shawn a whole new prosective on that.
Been there. It's a different education
Yes he did!
I had both parents and both were unemotional non attached and abusive both verbally and mentally, my mom is a food and gambling addict my father was a alcoholic. I would of been much better off with one or the other but you don’t get to choose your situation. I just go to therapy and pray for patience and the ability to correct my mistakes in the future.
Salute 🫡💯
Arnt we all food addicts?
I Feel You!!… 💯
It’s astounding how people can think that having two parents automatically means you had a better upbringing. Smfh
Fact's
Agree 100% Especially if they are beefing all of the time.
@@thedolphe that part!
Because two is better than one or none.
@@That_one_introvert. not if their abusive drug addicts? Or do you think that is an environment for children to thrive in? Or if they are being abused? Your statement isn’t valid…
Prez be mad extra on the introductions 😂 😂
Thank you for explaining how a household with 2 parents can be. Its not always a healthy and emotionally stable situation especially for kids.
Goes to show you, don’t share women with your homeboy and don’t do any business. Just be friends and watch each other’s back. Would be no need or feelings of killing each other.
Yea
@Real Ryte that’s true. But your opps killing you is one thing. Your mans tho?
Well said bro.
Most these niggas be friends because they make money off each other the streets full of users
That intro was spot on bro. Bonds is one of the realest and most humble dudes I’ve ever met. Same dude today that he was when I met him. Salute to the OG.
Finally someone who was actually apart of that era in Harlem whose not saying what everyone else is saying. Glad to hear a new prospective on this subject and he kept it real. Everyone else seems to dck ride Rich and the entire Paid in Full story.
@Caribbean Ín The House that sounds like a good time
@Caribbean Ín The House You must be from NYC...in The DMV...it wasnt EXACTLY that way back then in MY town

This one of the better Vlad interviews I saw in a good while! Good stuff
He's absolutely right it's always over money or a broad 😩🤦♂️ dam I felt that
He forgot jealousy
1
That situation in Houston what they was beefing about? Rollin dice and somebody was loosing money & started acting all sensitive RIP Takeoff
@@thesage90
No he didn’t. Money and broads…that’s literally the jealousy in a nutshell or at the very least where it comes from in the streets…
Niggas either jealous because you getting as much/more money than them or because u got the broad they want to holla at, they want ya girl, or females give u too much attention and not them. “Money or broads” ( jealousy)
@@thesage90 Jealousy over money or a woman
Perfectly said about parents staying together for the children's sake and all they did was create mental instability in a child's mind!
Like how my man articulate his words. Really painting the picture
Met him personally this is a real straight up man,he is a good person 💯💯💯💯💯♥️
Big Bonds! I grew up in the PG's (Bldg 1). We was all younger and Bonds was like a mentor to us. I can testify 100% Bonds was a real.I will always appreciate this man. .
Vlad punchn the air that he never got the ALPO interview!😂
Should’ve paid him some real money 🤷🏽♂️
And Alpo died before he gave an interview and got no bread!
I was not expecting his voice to sound like that 🤣
That’s gay
💀
same 🤣🤣🤣
How you like your men to sound?
Man Shawn really got great at this🔥🔥 Great interviewer been in his bag since the Joc videos
yup
@BLACK BULL 😮BRO DONT SAY THAT PLEASE DONT SAY THAT EVER AGAIN PLEASE ❗️❗️❗️❗️ NO NO NO HELLLLLL NO NO NO NO NO I’m sure she’s a great person I fw her vibes right but Fam Shes ruining CLASSICSSSS I always have to turn off the video😞
@BLACK BULL nah she's just a fan i could do without her
Facts
The chick acts more like a fan than an interviewer…
Bonds is like all the older brothers that I grew up with in NYC. I aint know bonds. Definitely seen him in Harlem before, but my older mans knew him and all the young boys that were getting money in Harlem in the 80s and early 90s. I say that to say this: We gotta stop glorifying calling these types heroes. They are not heros or to be admired. They are the vessels that were used to destroy generations of black people. Yeah, it's really just that simple. I was around all of this shit. These are not heroes. No disrespect to Bonds or none of them. But we gotta be honest.
Straight up brother
They sacrificed people who looked just like them for a few dollars and incarceration..... Sad
@@elwinjohnson4004 Respect!
@@1300mikehoward Sad facts!
U TELLIN THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH
Highly respectful introduction

Incredible!
Great interview. 🫡 Bonds

@@yo3rdtier128 Ok why are you watching this lol 🤣
Prez is my favorite interviewer. It don't be feeling like an interview, just conversations with old friends...
That’s what this is!
That was one helluva intro. I'm locked in for all this just off that! If it ain't a Glad interview, it's Prez
Real shit right here! Good interview.....props!
i'm tuned all da way in to this i-view damn when he said that about that Picture now that's sum of the realest & deepest shit I've heard in a minute but also so Real & truthful!
Great questions great answers.
This was a good interview, them Harlem stories have you thinking way back… Epic………
That thing about having mom and dad is deep
Very good interview
Good interview
A year later we still talk about Alpo after his death,bro’s legacy is definitely sum else😂
tomorrow his 1 year death anniversary so expect more flashbacks etc.
A sad legacy but R.I.P. Everyone deserves to grow old.
Yeah the real life hood scarfaces. Alpo ,Rich Big Meech and alot of unknowns. The street Fiction street moves wasn't close to how these katts was moving . So law enforcement job was to know the players,and they let them play. Nikki Barns and Lukus that era they wasn't dropping enough bodies so they had to go. They let the young niggas reek havoc on the community.
@BLACK BULL yes he is goofy
Only to New York
When he said guys from their own crew were taking each other out, I can’t help but think of NFL Big L and his brothers crew. Harlem ain’t no joke, as well as any inner city engulfed in street life.
Harlem til this day known for that
good interview
That's dope‼️James bonds‼️
Word‼️💯
that picture reference at the end hit me hard.
Facts! Deepest part of the interview
What he said about the 6 in the pic and 5 being killed by one another in the pic is one of the illest things I ever heard in the game.. pictures can become mystical when you deal in death
Deep interview!!!
This a Dope interview
This going to be a blockbuster interview right here I’m glad prez is doing it and not that girl
*Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you are going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day ❤🔥*
Thank you 🙏🏿
🙏🏽
TY! 🙏
Give Thanks You As Well
Thanks bruh hope you get plenty of Ho3s today
The picture story got me tuned in.... 💯💯
First time hearing of the brother but damn I can relate to his perspective
Everything is always on the father.
Vlad makes his money off showing the negative side of the black community. He doesn’t share the negative side of the Jewish community.
Because you people don't care about the negative side of jewish folk. You wouldn't even watch. But here you are slurping up ghetto filth out the gutter. You love it. ❤️
Of course not they are perfect lol. I personally never met a human that’s perfect but ya know their bs
Of course not they are perfect lol. I personally never met a human that’s perfect but ya know their bs
Well Jewish people don’t kill each other and sell drugs and don’t care about that shit and black people sell drugs and kill people and they love shit like that so they watch shit like this.
@@perchit4214 yeah they do and they were involved in the slave trade. And you right they really don’t murder each other hitler didn’t get a chance to program them to hate themselves but they murder others. So ….. how are you holy if you push this to other cultures. Actually your no better than a hitler.
Wow I can relate.. sooooooooooooooooooo much.. right on point
This brother looks fimilar I'm a Harlem nite too salute to all the brothers that made it out the streets alive Harlem stand up
That was one helluva intro
Yooooo Roger never thought I’d see this yeeeeeeeeah💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥
In 2 months he going to have his own podcast it never fails
That 6 people in the picture line hit hard when you realize for one person to be alive that would mean everyone caught a body. Or one person had multiple body’s and the people they killed didn’t have any.
That's dumb. How you come up with that?? 🤣🤣 You thinking way too hard my guy.
@@donaldrobins580 you ain’t thinking hard enough 🧏🏾♂️
It's 6 people and only one survived. Everyone who got killed the in the picture got killed by someone else in the picture. For example, #1 killed #2. #3 killed #1. #4 killed #3. #5 killed #4. And last but not least....#6 killed #5 That leaves #6. Nobody had to have multiple bodies for that to happen.
@@HALLgang no nigga it's simple...you just thinking too hard 🤣
Nigga literally everything you said is wrong. How tf does that mean everyone had to catch a body? Please explain what's goin through your mind lol
Yoooo!!! This is my homeboy Brother. Salute to the Bro Roger Bonds and my homie Pri
Hope all is well
This kid blew that "happy 2 parent home" myth into a million pieces.
Vlad probably told Prez make sure you talk about Alpo and Rich Porter 😂
Yep. Having both parents un the household can be the worse
Never heard of dude but I can tell this about to be one of them ones💯
Shawn Prez do a good job at interviewing 💯💯💪🏽 soon he might have to just start his own podcast/interviews
Dude, we don't NEED ANY MORE PODCASTS, from ANYONE 🤦🏽♂️
@@KingJamesKingChaos yes we do , & your gonna tune in 💯🧐🤣🤣 I’ll see u in that podcasts comments
Folk said everybody in the picture dead
But the crazy thing is each person was killed by someone also in the same picture...
Backdoor each other x 15 🤯 Harlem shady af kid
Some real foul niggas on dem ends 😂
Definitely ain't about no pink clothes in Harlem. Shit been grimey for decades.
Ohhhh this gonna be good shout out my dude Bonds Harlem in the Building
Introduction 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We need to hear a Dowop interview!!!. Make that happen Glad!!!
Gotta make that happen !!!!!!!
He has a documentary on You Tube called DoWop Harlem Legend
@@mansamusa9465 I’ll check it out! Thanks
You can come from any household and still go left....
What he just admitted here was that even though he had a father in the home, he didn't actually have a father in the home. Turns out in order to be a father you have to do more than just come home at night after banging your wife's sister. He didn't come from a two-parent household, he came from a one-parent household where a dude came home and slept each night until he got tired of it. Get real bro. You're right in one way but this guy isn't the example of it. This guy is the exact example of a broken home and the effects of it.
that six person photograph is chilling
My boy fanned out!😂😎 U got me wanting this dude a my friend 2!
Not having his father during his adolescence definitely plays a role. The age he said you start feeling yourself
Salute the kid Dowop he was Harlem's first young dude getting a lot of money. RIP LA & Rich Porter
Facts DoWop was the biggest out of all of them
Vlad should try get Dowop on here for an interview to talk about his life and book Seeds of The Game. Very interesting read apparently there's a part 2 coming in December. Thought I'd drop this comment In case you might be interested in reading it 👍
@@Biboty is Duwop dead?
@@JC-ks9pd Nope alive and well
@@Biboty If Vlad did that would shut the internet down
What a hell of a introduction lol
I find saying James bond with an s on the end is super hillarious!
I guess he couldn't call himself Bond for copywrite purposes so he added the S at the end. 🤣. But a really interesting story ,I'm excited for the next clip to upload
NICE INTRO!!!
This is the most New York interview I’ve ever seen.
What he said about everybody in the picture being dead except one person. It's so true. Same thing happened to death row. There was a picture of a lot of the guys around death row circulating in just about all of them are dead or in jail. But this happens in hoods all over the world. It's always people that you are supposed to be besties with that do you in .
niggas have fallouts..and with fallouts situations piles up to the point guns come to play which leads to death..shit all it takes for one out the group to kill anothr..then everybody pick sides and now the war on..alot of people hang with relatives mixed in with niggas from they neighborhood who also have family within the crew.. so majority of the time family picking family
I watched the Polo Grounds get built. I remember when it was the abandoned stadium and was called Hobo Town . It turned into a very dangerous place and even though I grew up right next to it in Colonial on 159th street there was clearly a big difference between the two developments
I see you use the name Muhammad you grew uptown I was born on 116 and 117 on park Ave in Spanish Harlem I was told as little boy don't go to Lenox Ave on 116st. The temple 7 was there under Malcom x and latter on I joined the nation of Islam under Elijah Muhammad and I used to see brothers from nation in customs made f.o.i. uniforms with Dimond rings at the conventions and saviors day and I was young and stupid in the nation cause I would say to myself those brothers must be selling a lot of Muhammad speaks and bean pies yeah right those brothers were gangsters temple 25 in Newark and temple 12 in Philadelphia so don't be surprised or so self righous what others are doing the nation was built on dirty money let keep it real
@@ronaldbailey8676 The nation wasn’t built on dirty money . Those were just some dirty men. As for Muhammad it is a family name. I’m not using a name. Muhammad in Africa and the east is as common as smith and jones. And you are talking about one thing and I’m merely pointing out I lived in Colonial before the Polo Grounds was built. All that other extra shit you talking about is before my time and I don’t care about at all
Pologoundd got built in like 68
@@ronaldbailey8676 you dont know wat you talking about
@@ray1love1 I don't ask anyone who really knows about temple #25 and temple #12 under Jeremiah Shabazz if I don't know you really really don't know and you volunteer to be blind
I love how he gave him those props
Yo that introduction made my dog go nuts
Roger bonds never disappoint his fans talking about lapo
Prez is a great interviewer
He aight. He actually let the person talk without trying to talk over them.
Ok now I can give Shawn his flowers. He really bring something different to GladTv 🌹
When he said project dweller , I completely felt sun being from NYCHA myself.
Young Black Father's stand TF up
It’s sad to hear him say “I was only coming home because my father was there” …”the day my father stopped coming home I took to the streets”
The system is designed to separate fathers from families in the black community. You take the man out the house/put him in jail or prison just so a woman has to raise her kids alone and if not by the grandparents. On top of that they push alcohol, drugs and guns into our lower income communities and let it all play out! Much respect to everyone in the struggle
Yeah don't blame the fathers for committing crimes. Plenty of black men are there for there kids because they aren't scumbag criminals mr. crab in a bucket.
facts
Real rap
Yeah but that doesn't take away the fact that we know right from wrong
Who is they?
That picture part is cold.
Incredible Man.. Free Kevan 💯👑🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Right
His story is no different from the other drug dealers the only difference is the faces

My ear trained to hear Vlad for these interviews…I gotta get used to Prez man
WOW! That last man standing in that picture has some stories in him.
The cook-up was like butter, kept me high for days.🤯
That first part says it all. When I had no father home to tell me what to do. That's when i went to the streets. Mom couldn't tell me nothing. We need two family households.
Dude's "okaay" is killin me
Rest well all my Harlem legends 🙏🏽📌🗽🐐💯
How u a legend killing ya own people tho fam?
@@MisterR82 Word Life
legends or murders and serial killers?
That's why black men are at the bottom of the food chain in society. We tend to look up to men like this who destroy our communities! Rest well Harlem legends? SMH UNBELIEVABLE
@@leramfreeman2950 Comments like the primary comment are the reason why we’ll be stuck here beyond our life cycles. Nevermind getting an education and doing something to benefit the overall community, nah….rather, we’d prefer to claim and rep a location that was only left behind to us by whites who basically said “You ni@@era can have it, we out”. Crab in the barrel theory is strong.
That story at the end about the 6 guys in the picture is craaaaazzzyyyyy
Man has a pic of 6 people. Only one alive today. Everyone in the pic died from someone in the pic.
I swear he just told us he killed the last man in the pic. He keeps it cause he's in it.
Didn't go over my head.
"James Bonds", make me think of that Key and Peele skit
Beginning is the most New York interaction ever
A lot of ppl was saying “It’s bout time they took Alpo The Rat out” but Alpo didn’t die because he killed Rich Porter!! Believe it or not that man had the same RESPECT in the streets that he had before going in. There were still heavy hitters that came up wit Po still fucking wit him
I'm glad he cleared that up... Just because you have two parents in the house doesn't mean everything is peaches and cream... That's one of the biggest misconceptions about the black family...
Really not. That's called life. Weak ass
Real rap.. if you not doing the work as a parent, you just a physical presence.
Facts bro
True
Well you know what they say? Once you go black, you're a single mother. Even if the dude that banged you comes home at night because he has nowhere else to go.
Proper interview. We Brooklyn support it. I'm 51 n i can say, halem was da flyest cats on da planet. We Brooklyn cats get n got fly but halem took it overboard wit it. So bless dem halem boys also
