@@JasonWilliams-um8imhopefully they will look at it for what it truly is a opportunity for another brother. 💪🏾
S/O BMORE!!!!!!! 👊
@@JasonWilliams-um8im they should be looking at it as a opportunity to get a bag not just a good fight 🙏🏾
I slept in the same unit with Yo in the fed prison in Lexington, Kentucky, yo Was a well respected man, real quiet very much to himself type dude.. didn’t talk to very many people. He let me read his book he wrote and showed me the article he was in in an old Don diva magazine real OG. 💯💯
Gotta lotta luv for DC I lived in DC from 88-90 and during that time it was the Murder Capital but it was also beautiful in Alot of ways beautiful people but the times dictated the climate ..but I luv DC and much Respect
“America did a number on black people!” I’ve been saying this for years! Great episode though!🔥🔥
Yes she did
, and still are
@larryriley22 Poverty stricken minds are easy to manipulate my Brotha. You saying that helps the ones that did that get away. Everything has a start, and not one black person made any drugs to put out to our community in any lab!
Excuses, stay in victim seat. Take some accountability.
You did it to yourself stop blaming other people for your stupid decisions
Damn this joint was tight. Much respect to "Yo". Never met him but Antoine B Jones will forever be my man's. ✊🏽✊🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Always good to see a good solid man get a chance and make the best of it. ❤🔥
Everybody Deserves A Chance.💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Selling ya soul for material goods will never make a people rise to many sell outs
This was a good episode
Legend 🙌🏿 Role model on another level
My mom's taught Rayful & Tony Lewis . Elementary School. Wheatley Elem Trinidad Area N.E. We used to live Around the Corner from Orleans and Rayful's People's Crib. We was on Abbey Pln with my Grandparents I miss those days Around there as a kid in the 70's Coliseum patrons took all the parking spaces around there when something was going on you had to have your car parked at 4 pm if u wanted to park near your house back then Circus, Ice Capades , Rock Bands etc etc I loved that neighborhood
Brother "Big E," I commend this brother highly for sharing knowledge. This brother gave me a book in Lorton on the (Hill) Central Facility that enlighten me about my religion at the time...Islam. that meant a lot to the life decisions I had to make, thanks brother 🤝
This was good❤
Wowwwwwwwww. 🔥🔥🔥
Interview with Teflon Sean of Washington DC ❤
Same here. Sean was interviewed at the top of the chain with VLAD. I published his book.
Who I looked up to as a kid, both and good and bad. Yo was the man to me.
You looked up to this man who helped the white man kill our blk people with drugs and gangs ? 😂
Tell me, don't have kids🤦 I hope not for their sake
My family lived on Orleans Place during this time
Very good Biography
SAULTE GREAT CONTENT
Great chanell
Everybody was getting money maan💪🏾❤️💯
Tony Lewis Sr of Washington DC ❤
Again, T Lewis is on VLAD
Interesting I remember reading about him
Still got my F.E.D.S magazine with him.
Good story
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Interview Cornel Jones of Washington DC ❤
When I was young, I used to live on 9th and LST.a few blocks away from Orleans Place. My grandfather owned that house from the 1940s to the Late 90s. Just curious but how old is "Yo" now ?
In his late 60s Fam
@DCDec Thanks Brother..I thought we were around the same age. I'm 67.
Those guys in 80's was getting serious money.
G'Ahead, Channel 32!!!
understand it is what it is however there is a better life to be had
Tony Lewis jr. Is a good brother for sure
@13:45 wow, my mother's still alive and I cry just at the thought of losing her😂
Did Yo use to hoop too? He got them smack the fire or Dunk on a Bamma size hands. (NoDiddy)
Wait a minute, we had to deal with the riots in 68, the Vietnam War protests and a lot of other nonsense back in the day. In the late 70s if you wanted weed, you would head to 14th & Chapin Street NW. Once you turned 18, you had three options: get a job and a crib, go to college, or go into the military. The only thing the drug game did in the 80s was get folks strung out and stack bodies. Nothing glamorous about that time or that life. We had a chance to make something of DC or Chocolate City, if you will, and we blew it, plain and simple. There is no going back because other folks have moved in and are taking over. That's the result of all the foolishness that went down 40 years ago. I grew up in Southeast and North West as a kid so I saw both sides of DC. The drug game destroyed any chance of taking DC to where it should have been for us. I'm 62 now and all I can do is shake my head.
Absolutely true ninjas the only ones still bragging on this dumb shit
🦾👍🏿 I am from Harlem and I am 53 and the same thing happened here
The devil is always in the details. Sin has messed us all up. We need Jesus Christ to redeem us so our name will be in the Book of Life.
Interview CURTBONE of Washington DC ❤
The Homie Bone has several interviews already that can be viewed Fam 👍🏾
👍 👍
It was a different time...
Who was the baddest from Fort Stanton?
It’s crazy that Boosie went so hard after someone stole from him but he use to steal. He stole my Marc Jacob’s sunglasses out of my car and some other things out of my home. I didn’t even know this had happened but I’m so happy that he is where he is supposed to be! And RIP to all of the victims!
Is that Big E from Section 8 Mob?
Just ti be around 😜 a brother like Tonio very intelligent and wise idid a couple of years in allenwood and hesay bay make the best out of abad situation go to unicorget a little job stay active and at the same time he will leave you here if you know what I mean
I read his book and man Antonio was NOTHING 2 play with!! He definitely had NO love 4 Big Head Gary and almost took him out!! Had him laying up in the hospital and even when he got out Antonio and Jerry went after him again and if it wasn’t 4 Alpo getting 2 him 1st, Jerry and Antonio would have most certainly did him dirty!! Dope ass book
Read his book...joint was crazy. 💪
What's the name of the joint? Imma buy it.
As Quiet as Kept
@@DCDec Appreciate it. Just ordered the joint. 🫡
My patna Squirrel
New York wasn’t teaching Philadelphia anything with all due respect.
Facts
Philly definitely it's own place no pun intended 👍
Philly always been trash tho.
Why is this dude a legend?
Are you from DC?
@@milwaukeemilwaukee2982Maybe yall should look up the definition of the word legend.
@@DCDec he ain't a legend then I guess slim no hating , maybe in the streets right
@@milwaukeemilwaukee2982 Yeah definitely in the streets. A notorious one just like America has had plenty of them but we only seem to challenge the ones that look like us.
Did you grow up in a urban community?
😮
So careful not to mention THE REAL CULPRITS
Kurtbone fuck what you heard or hear. Get that dude kevin honesty on you joint.
🫡
So Ray just let you control everything huh 🧐. Yeah right
Clueless lol
Xander Lock
Animals
🤡
Why dc in denial we influence yall too stop hating 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽 we going on 50 years now of it stop🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😅😂🤫
We always did our own thing in DC. since when did New York do new balance, go-go and mambo sauce?
@@washingtondc9290 u crazy we did new balance before you n before us is Boston, n no one does go go cuz it’s trash. Stop we started civilization
DC and New York is nothing alike go somewhere else with that lol
I understand NYC's egoistical position being the epicenter of fashion. However, with DC being (MBMC)...1957, AKA.. Chocolate City! We have our pride too. Being a Central Black Culture, Power and identity we remain a significant force. That's the underlying 'clash of the Titans. Also, plus them NEW BALANCE 👍
Yall bammas aint influence nothing in DC lol
✌️💯🫡🔥
