- In this VladTV exclusive, Eddie Mathis -- the man once referred to as the godfather of the DC drug trade -- detailed his life story. Growing up in a 12-person household during the 1950s and 1960s, Mathis started having run-ins with the law by the age of nine. He described stabbing a bully when he was 11 and getting involved in petty crimes throughout his teens. Mathis told tales of being in youth and adult correctional facilities before explaining how he got into dealing heroin. He also described an incident where he was sentenced to 20 years to life over a murder charge that he eventually got reversed. Mathis described how crack impacted DC and the drug trade, and spoke about serving about 20 years after catching a conspiracy charge. To hear more, check out the above interview.

Straight up og. Never talked about anything that can incriminate others or himself.
Straight up ignorant
The most prolific "you know" battle I've seen since '94, ya know?
I’m from D.C. Yes I made a lot of money. From hustling. But I have nothing to show for it. The money came fast and was spent just as fast. But once I turned my life to JESUS EVERYTHING changed for me. I was able to use my street knowledge legally. Eddie thank you for sharing your story.
Ha,ha, stop faking Mike brown, you might have run for someone else but your ass ain't never made nothing.
Amen brother!
Amen! What's up Mike? Long time no see.
I knew a lot of guys in the streets I was one of them. I didn’t make millions but I hustled in the 2000s late 90s it wasn’t like the 70-80s when they were making millions! But yes I still know a lot of guys and not one has any money from that life. Once I worked a legit job and started towing and I seen more money and obtained more in life! If u are blessed to make it out the streets there’s other legit hustles u can turn to and live a great life without worrying about jail.
For me, it didn't matter whether legal or illegal they NEVER wanted me to come up in Life
He denying all that beef stuff bcuz Murder has no statue of limitations..smart man
I appreciate the honesty and wisdom about the good and bad of the game. Thx OG
Crazy to think how defending himself against a bully changed the course of his life so extremely
I knew where he grew up at, it was the culture, he may not have intended it to be that way but, once the (boys in the hood) heard about what happened to (the bully) they was trying to get with you or, get you with them...kinda like a recruitment of sorts.
@@evnstvn58 🙄🙄 not another hood expert.
@@missrenee2uSay what you want... It's gonna be one way or the other! They're either gonna be with you or, they're gonna be against you and, hope they never have to worry about you, ever doing that to them!
Usually it’s 1 situation that changes the course of our lives and we don’t even know it
@@evnstvn58 that’s the truth tho some of these internet ppl don’t know what’s up in da field
You know he from the city cuz he's Hugo boss'd up
On me. 👔 cost bout 135 lls
Facts lol
Hugo Boss...Nazi...He designed all the uniforms of Hitler's army! Did you know that? Google it!
Hugo boss is better than boss America LOL
@@evnstvn58 let's not forget about Coco Chanel she design for the Nazis to
I remember when I came home and went to get some gas and the damn gas pump started talking. I couldn’t believe there was actually a tv at the gas pump 😂
damn slim
I still can’t
Shout out to everybody who thought this was Greg's brother
😭😭😭😭 I'm crying.
@@missrenee2u 😄
By far the best Glad interview I have seen. Much much respect to Mr Mathis a legend in the city! To be able to soak up his reflections on life is truly a blessing. I actually got arrested the same night him and the guys did and wound up riding in same paddy wagon to Central Cell block. Bumped n2 one of the guys later down Lorton for a few months and I use to love to pick his brain. Would've been an honor to meet Mr Mathis
VLAD 🙂
Crunchy Black said it’s GLAD🤣🤣🤣🤣
70 years old and still keeping a tight lip on who his connects were 😂😂😂
I believe DC is the home of the Original Gangstas he's living proof
Different kind of Brothers outta DC. 💯
Shit, I mean, the Whitehouse is in DC..
Definitely
Old skool hustler. Survived Lorton gets a salute just for that.
Where’s the link to his book 📕?
History of D.C. that I never knew. Solid interview and subject.
Lorton legends. I gone look it upon Amazon
A little history on the heroine game. Let’s say you buy some heroine that can take a 10. That means for every gram of heroine you can put 10 grams of cut on it, maximizing your profit. He mentioned the 1st and the 15th them were the days welfare recipients got their checks. About 1wk before the 1st you have the heroine on a 5, instead of the 10. With it being on a 5 it is at its strongest making all the dope fiends asking for your brand of heroine. Once the 1st hits, you jump it up to a 10 to maximize your profit. Even tho it won’t be as strong as it was on a 5, mentally the fiends will be looking for your brand because how good it was in prior wks. Then you repeat the same process before the 15th.
🦍💩💩💀💀👹☠☠☠☠
Facts, lol
I heard his Name All the time....
MADNESS LIVES ON
True Legend from 83-88 $70000 a Day from 14st ,The Shack, The Gardens, Division Ave, 7thst the whole city with $10 bags and there are still more name who did just as good or better Washington DC always got money
Yep made a lot of money ruining generations of people and destroying neighborhoods
Wasnt the only one doing it, it might not be a good excuse but that shit was going happen with or without him.
yeah true I seen that first hand most of the house where brought for $25000 and now you cant get a shell for less than $600000 but be more Angry at your Goverment they ship tons
@@bryan5072 true the government are the biggest destroyers of families and neighborhoods and cities
And I betcha she got some of that money too! Shhhh🤫 dont tell nobody!
This guy is quite easy to listen to. Glad to be watching this glad.
He looked at Vlad like wtf you getting this information 😆
Such an amazing story! I can't wait to get the book.
Whomever “they” were, he definitely had problems with those folks. I’m just saying. They may have squashed everything amongst one another but murder has no statute of limitations so, if what I think is true, the Blackwells are them/they, and neither one of they’re crews were playing around.
D.C Original Hood Clothing is Hugo Boss & Solbiato
Madness Connection
Solbiato came a little later more mid to late 90's.
Hobo
Vlad straight asked him who his plug was hahahhaah
Right like he gonna say it !!! 😂
😂😂fair enuff😂😂
The 75 is legit in my top 5 docs of all time!
Gospel
Going to jail for 20years is like stepping outta time machine. But, those years you missed you cant get back!
The square that go to work and home to the family is the best life
@@timothyblack1979I seen more people in the free world locked up than people whose locked up in a cell
Those long bids will make your eyes water. I seen one of my Hommeis cry mistily thinking about his murder bid. And what a year to get back. ‘88 was a money worldwind in the entire country. I had just come home and got more money than I had ever had.
It’s crazy u say that cuz every person I know that was in the game in the 80s always say the money was great in 88 😭😭😭😭. Shit must’ve been crazyyyy
@@jawn9424 real talk it was. You could step out of the house all by yourself with a few hundred dollars. Buy some working 50s and be swimming in tens of thousands in weeks if not days.
I read nicky barnes and the heroin era they made more money
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
When he said,I do have a conscious, I felt that.
He from the old school he still rocking Hugo boss lol that’s 80/90s 😂
Dc different with tbt police. It’s federal all in dc. My sis rest her soul was a big dog n the 90s. Got killed in 98 age 28 doing private jets with Martin Lawrence!!! Krazy just seeing old timer dc drug dealers talk because it hits home respect OG
I Say ohhh I've been Hood Winked 😂 definitely a OG 😂
Real OG right here….Stand Up Gangsta! Intelligent man,
that realized and used his smarts in the Game! Praying blessings and peace for him! 💯💯💯
lol "OG" he is a walking advertisement of what not to do. Did you even listen to the interview. Robbing and selling death to people. A grown ass man that Wasted most his life in a cage being told what to do, if that's "OG" you can keep it. Get a job and stay on the straight and narrow folks smh.
First we had daaamn!!!! then we had " if you will" and now we got "ya know"
Ya know
Naw mean nom saiyan
"If u will" had me laughin 😃😃
Criticize the people you know. Tell them to their face.
@@elegua9160 what??? Are u even telling about
The Blackwell/Mathis beef was something else.
Eddie and them probably tried to move onto Wahler. He was more muscle than black and them on his own strength, some of that extortion thing mixed in.
Real DC OG.. highly respected 💯
I got caught with 2 ounces in Flint Michigan at 14 and the media called me a Detroit drug zar 🙃
Lol
Got this playing in the barbershop here in DC now
U DOIN 2 MUCH
Vlad: can you please incriminate yourself or anyone else on camera for my channel
Whoever he’s interviewing: I’d rather not
Vlad: fair enough
🤣
Yes come up in DC from a huge large family back in them days was tough especially for a black male. This VLADTV interviewer guys seems to me that he wants again as all of them do (our European selfish bros) to belittle a black male of his past misfortune. Then when we to bring up his past of 310 years of free labor, or even how during recent past years the 50, 60, and 70s the America refusal to treat the black male with dignity and respect which in turn didn't allow them the same opportunity to work or start business like the others were given, as well as being the last hired and the first 🔥 fire. Then they come with excuses after excuses to not teach that part of America history and it's reparations unto a people, OR Simply who are the REAL GANGSTERS folks behind the destruction of the black communities with Racism, Second Class Citizenship, The Poor, The Rich, Addicted Drugs Creation, low wages, The American falsehood of the cost of living with inflation only to make the Rich Richer and the middle class and under Poorest, ...... and it goes on and on. PLEASE can we all just love the TRUTH and your NEIGHBOR with a forgiveness ❤️ and stop letting money and a selfish heart RULE???! Be Bless Be Beautiful All humans and JESUS Loves You!
This is a master class of 'Shhhh'.
Thru everything that was discussed in this interview, putting your money in the right slots was a very vital one.
Wow, Miles Long brings back memories……best sandwiches ever!🥂🥂
Ms.keolux This Is Valarie Chapman From Birney Don't we know Each other,Wow If That's U,I Have A million Words To Ask U!! Up For It WOW,SMILING,I've thought of U OFTEN!!?

I Misspelled your Name forgive ME typo,my Fault,plus I'm Sleepy 😪
@@vareechapman1520 This is so crazy! I’ve though if you as well! Your dad owned a liquor store? I believe you were a twin…I think of Mr. Gaffney, Ms, Cosby(McFarland), Mr. Street 😂Denise Dious, Debbie Allen, Aleta Simpson can’t remember all of the names….do you know of a way to get in touch privately? Google…✌🏾
@@vareechapman1520 Hey Ms. V seriously contact me…I’m trying to figure something out…thanks..
VLAD LAUGHING AFTER TAKING ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING RAPE IS CRAZY!!!!🤔🤔🤔
This is the epitome of a Real Gansta!
Study his own case in Jail...
Never incriminating to himself or others.
Takes full responsibility for his actions
You will probably never see this type of interview again (you know)
u went to deal?
Deal what?
Vlad can try all he wants but this here OG is not going to incriminate himself or cough up any names
He don’t even look like he in his 60s
Much respect to you Eddie
Every time Vlad interviews a former criminal you know he’s gonna say “Football Numbers” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fray a legend
This was straight up and down 💯💯💯. Big Up to Eddie Mathis💪🏼
every time eddie says "ya know" you gotta drink lol
55:06 Stupid question and respect less. Nobody ask those kind of questions to alcohol companies bosses, to the weapons industries CEOs, to the fast food and sugar companies, tobacco industry or pharmaceutical companies. He was a businessman he didn't force anyone to use drugs. He's community got hurt not from the drugs but from oppression and poverty, lack of education and information, lack of opportunity, fathers getting locked up for long time for the same crime other people go to rehabilitation as punishment or pay fines, drugs were the consequences of neglecting a group of people as for the natives it was alcohol. And today when white people (rural and small towns for the most) doesn't have the opportunity they had on the good old days and many grow up on an environment of poverty, violence etc they get hit by "opioid crisis". How many people have an accident and get morphine pills and they don't get addicted. It's not the drugs it's the human being who destroy his own life and their neighbours. You have choice as an adult. Is so easy to blame poverty and all the other problems on crack or drugs. Be honest black people come always last in America. Why didn't black people have this problem in Uruguay? It's so easy for this white dude (vlad) to try to put the blame (on the black people's distress) on dealers. Black haven't had a honest chance in America since someone kidnapped them and took them to America and when they were on their way to have business and a strong Afro-American economy, white and rich people destroyed it. This same problem had the gypsy's in Spain in the 70s and 80s instead of crack it was heroine. What their had on common, their were last on stairway, it was a lot of laws against them, bad or no schools etcetera. So stop this bullshit about blaming drug dealers and drugs as the cause of black people's poverty. 80 % of non black people are against reparations, that shows you how racist people are in America. What they say it's OK to kidnap people force them to another continent make them work 100 years for free, when the slavemaster's son feels for some pussy, he can rape a black woman. They're saying is OK. Vulnerable people are always gonna be hit harder than people with educated parents and grandparents with savings, with a clean and good neighbourhood, neighbours who went to college, with a police force who are there to protect and serve, with schools with good teachers, and a psycholog for kids with some kind of problem. A father to talk etc
Ase'
Damn so true
Cosmograph Daytona Rolex cost 35k , OG still getting money
Hugo boss down
No! He has nothing. He basically admitted so.
@@nattydreadlocks1973 of course he’s going to say that to Vlad but he don’t strike me as the type to wear fakes
@@chrispbacon1167 You sound just like Eddie, twenty years ago. Trust me. He would have more money today if he worked at the Post Office for twenty years instead of having a life of crime.
We All Have A Choice In What Direction You Choose To Live.
RIP To OG Fray 💪🏾🙏🏾
Never met the guy, but heard about him later in life. You remember when dude shot up Benning park swimming pool with the tec back in 92'? We left after that. Them was the bad old days. Lol
He tried to make the ninja feel guilty about stabbing a white inmate
How? By mentioning it? Lol 100% he would have still asked if he had stabbed another black man. Youre reaching bro and its shit like this keeping us all separated. Change your thought process.
@@stevenrandall689 he is right don't get mad at him you should be mad at VLAD he is the one who said white inmate he could have said you stab an inmate vlad made a point to say white inmate he is the one trying to make it out of a racist thing he wanted dude to bite but he didn't if you can't see that you must be a lame
@@GoHARD99 You're definitely part of the problem. Victim mentality without taking context into account. Stating factual elements of a story doesn't make it racist. Only your predispositions make it racist and by proxy that in turn shows your racism
@@stevenrandall689 no you just don't get it You're nowhere as smart as you think you are some things people just can't get and in your case this is it.
@@stevenrandall689 talking about separated we been separated only thing people want is our culture and thats it if anything people are trying to divide black people as a whole.
SE DC right here slim! Born and raised all day! Growing up around MLK and going to Congress Heights, Hart and Ballou, Eddie Mathis name rung throughout SE and the city! His sons was cold killers!
Thug Life in DC documentary if you want the real DC mentality
If keep it in was a person
Tell me I ain’t the only one that found the bit about his daughter saying daddy daddy emotional.
Respect to someone that actually follows the no rat code and is willing to put himself in more shit so his friend in prison can go home,
Respect to this OG
Sounds lame . To throw away your life for another man all in the name of a stupid street code. I believe people who commit crimes should be punished to the fullest and no one should try to cover up for them
@@terrelmensa4373 That's because you never been in the life. Friends look out for one another because it's his time to go home, as a friend we are going to make sure he is going to make it home this time around.
@@michaeladams4428 So for example you witnessed someone murder a child but because of no snitching you are going to be quiet? As old as you are and you got this twisted mindset is sad.
@@terrelmensa4373 Gotta stay quiet regardless unless you like being a rat fuck! 🐀🐁😂🤣
@@terrelmensa4373 you must be an asshole... the funky smell from your fingertips reeks.. you have so much inspirational advice. How about you come to DC and enlighten us on what a real man as yourself would do to help the misguided.. lolol
"You Know" - lol
lemme get a dollar for everytime he says “ya know”
Lol, yeah That's an old skool DC slang and we still use it cuz we don't say YO in DC, We get a kick outta it when ppl outside of DC judge our slangs and sometimes it rubs off on ppl once they be around a person from DC long enough,
Bro I’m 29 and I look older than this man! Lol. Damn dude looking good for his age
Stop doing drugs😂
PRISON PRESERVES YOU FROM ALL THE THINGS THAT WOULD AGE YOU ON THE STREETS LIKE DRUGS,LIQUOR x A LACK OF SLEEP...THAT IS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT BEING IN.
@@binwahli5643 why does everyone else in prison look like shit then lol. Drugs are also more available. And the diet there is terrible. There doesn’t need to be a reason for everything. Maybe the man has great genes
@@binwahli5643 He's 69yrs old here
Big Respect O.G
VLAD always insinuates stuff, and subtly misrepresents the facts, and the interviewer has to be savvy enough to correct him. SMH
Its a ruse to get them to talk details
@@mr.dakamd5444 isn't it some sort of reverse psychology
@@GetintheCAH kid, its exactly what i said. Stop trying to make something simple more complex for no reason
"... you know?"
Everyone: "No. No, we don't know. That's why we are listening to you tell us. So we know. Ya know?"
I commend anyone doing anything they have to do to survive and accepting the consequences of their choices like a G. Uptown run the town!!!
OG Eddie Mathis much love slim 🫡
DC in the house salute 🫡
You gotta love Glad giving a convicted oldskool armed robbber a lecture on what can happen during an armed robbery and that heroin users will "kill whoever they need to kill to get that fix" whilst oldskool laughs at him 😅
Glad heard that at the Feds training school...and it sounds ridiculous...i havnt seen one ex dealer ever agree with him...they all just lolz at him and shake their heads.
Based on Lorton Legends? The way he’s telling the story, my guess is he’s Frank.
Yo Mr. Eddie Mathis good interview and RIP to the people that did`nt make it out and thank the "LORD" "JESUS and the people praying for you that you made it out peace.
Legendary
MR MADNESS SALUTE EDDIE‼️💯
Real talk. Those 20 to 24 month runs be fucking up your program.
VladTV. Would you consider interviewing Jim Beloushi?
13:13 That Laugh speaks For itself....I forgot to tell ya Vlad, When I was in Prison I participated In The Bandit Click As Well Ya Know!😊
To vlad tv is he a relative to greg Mathis the judge on tv? Keep on doing a good show
You know?
“You know?” No I don’t that’s why im watching this, to “know”
As a kid if an older kid ask to ride your bike you ain't getting it back. I got my bike stole once after leaving it outside when I was like 7, after that I started stealing other ppl bikes. They knew not to leave them Mongoose out there lol
I used to do robberys one time in 1993 they said i robbed a bank what i didnt but i realy started to believe them aĺtough i never robbed that bank i almost started to believe them luckely i was found not guilty what i was but i almost believed them
Hugo bossed down ya know
Vlad trying to get this man to snitch on himself
His crimes is old … way old … he good
The Murder charge is never old bro...statute of limitations never ends with murder!
Birdland Arcade...O.G Fast Eddie, he ain't told a lie yet!
Seem like a honest guy ya know
What's going on Eddie? I met Eddie in Butner fci....Holla back..OD wake B
38:00 vlad doesn’t let up!!
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I recall that moxie incident
Yes!
S/o Buffalo,NY
Moxy was a dummy. Even if you killed him you were going to be hunted.
For him to be born, bred and raised in DC, I’m shocked you don’t hear that DC accent.
He very much has a DC accent. The Uptown DC accent is completely different from the South side. My father sounds like him, and he was born at DC General, and raised in NE and NW. Went to Coolidge. Old heads don't have that twang like young dudes have. Hell My DC accent is like his - and Im from Brookland.
Make no mistakes about it Eddie is the Godfather of D.C.
I was thinking about a steak and cheese from Miles Long today.
And a whole cheeseburger sub!!
Old nigga didn't snitch on his connects tho 🤐
On gang, when he said 20-30 dudes lined up for the gang bang, I was like “damnnn”. I know I ain’t posed to be jealous but fucc it
You're jealous of a guy being gang raped?
There is only one Eddie.
Never will, never have.
Ever seen that movie Donnie Brasco? One day you gon see Vlad standing beside his fellow agents when he finally reveal his undercover status as an agent! Eddie ain't crazy he ain't gon say nothing incriminating no matter how long ago it was!
He said "You know" a million times
