He brings up some very valid points! Back in the late 80’s early 90’s all this was new and things were not established yet. On top of that, they were in their what, late 20’s?? You feel invincible! Now he is older and wiser and knows the game and acts accordingly. That drug game is no joke. And it’s not worth it…………
Add in now all the new technologies they have to build a case.. You gotta be out of your mind to think you can get away with pushing heavy drugs like yayo and dope. They'll get you, only a matter of time.
Facts. When I look back at the 80’s, niggas wasn’t even thinking Feds. They didn’t realize that the Feds, state and locals had combined forces to come up with these task force groups that were NOT playing. You out there balling in the streets for months and not even knowing they they’ve got a sealed indictment on your ass based on evidence that they’d compiled for years. All my friends in the game could not believe the years they were looking at when the hammer finally started dropping in the 90’s. We used to think that 10-15 was helluva years in prison until they started throwing out them speed limit numbers on that ass. And god forbid that they had you on drugs AND could connect you to a body! You were phucked. All my Niggas that got locked up in the 90’s have just started coming home in the last 5 years. No skills, no money, and looking at a world that looks like Star Trek compared to what it was when they left. That’s why I always got my ass a job and said “phuck that hustle shit.”😂
People just think when he went in, time stopped. Meaning all he knows is that era before he was sentenced; cars, clothes, technology. Yea he may have heard about the new changes while in prison but he could never experience them. Its crazy how some are willing to throw their lives away for materialistic shit. Sometimes, we trick ourselves into believing that materialistic possessions are worth more than our lives. When, in fact, it's supposed to be the other way around. You can replace materialistic possessions once you lose them, but you can't replace TIME or your LIFE once they're gone. Wake the fuck up people. I appreciate these interviews VLAD.
One could say the feds treated him like the big time dope dealer that he was…. The time he received was reflective of his status as a drug dealer on the streets
@@hadbl12 nah..they ( the feds) have never done what they did to ray before or since, I seen it first hand..he sold drugs,yes but he also feed the poor, gave money to ppl in need, he would take us to kings Dominion on the weekends.. hundreds of us.. payed ppls rent..you name something good and dude did it..and when he got locked up, all hell broke loose in DC , it didn't stop drugs , because now EVERYONE wanted to be him..new Yorkers came killing up shit.. Jamaican came killing up shit...the murder rate skyrocketed because the King was gone and the war on drugs ( black people) began all because of a lie told by bush sr...I was there and seen it all..
@@hadbl12 I'm gonna leave you with this,snow fall..is based off of Rick ross and CIA Agent Oliver North, North imported tons and tons of coke into this country did he go to jail, no but Rick Ross did... double standard at it's finest...so miss me with that noise your making
I remember hearing a rumor back then about one of the higher ups for the FBI saying if he just stopped a few months ago he would have been good because they didn't have enough on him and that's why they waited. Not sure if it's true but hearing this makes it sound possible
Not glorifying anything but tourists need to know DC just not the White House and the monument… get caught somewhere you not supposed to be and it might be a wrap for you!
Real OG.. welcome home slim love 💪🏾💯this our real OG in DC one of the best he’s gonna make things right he deserves to be home he should’ve did the time he did
He so right I learned very young , make the police do there job ( keep ya mouth close) and never take plea ( paid lawyer and fight) its a different time I was 13 when I learned this, today its not happen
Never take a plea?? I mean I can understand not taking a plea that incriminates anyone else besides yourself. But if they got you dead to rights and YOU KNOW THIS... and offer you a plea significantly lower than what you can expect after a guilty verdict, you take the plea. If you listen to the man he's telling you that they weren't offering them pleas. But if they offered him a plea that didn't require him to cooperate or incriminate others, he'd take it. You gotta be a stupid MF to not take a plea that doesn't require you to snitch when you know damn well you gonna lose at trial. Break out the dumb shit and grow up. A lotta shit sound cool but be dumb as fuck.
This was after the Len Bias and Marion Barry situation. DC and lot of major cities wanted to make an example. There was no guilty or not guilty option it was “ go straight to jail, do not pass go do not collect 200”.
It's a loop hole being that you're innocent until proven guilty n the court of law the money you received before conviction is technically clean bc it wasn't proven dirty at the time of recieval
@@James-th8pr so shouldn't that same logic work for the criminal? That's " clean money" until it's found to be dirty. And if they have to give up everything shouldn't the lawyers have to cough that up.
John Gotti’s crew wasn’t allowed to take plea deals because he saw it as snitching on yourself, and if you willingly snitch on yourself you’ll snitch on anyone in the crew

34 years in prison is crazy
I remember the trial, they treated him and ray like they was Hannibal lecter....shit was crazy
That was a wild time they was on tv everyday from 89 to 90 the end of the trial
@@Moneybag1981 true dat...

200 grand in 1989 adjusted for inflation is 487 grand today,so bro spent a half a million on lawyers and still received life..

no matter how much money you spend, It was already set
Facts Tho That Unanimous Jury Was Crazy 🤦🏾♂️
Not glorifying anything but tourists need to know DC just not the White House and the monument… get caught somewhere you not supposed to be and it might be a wrap for you!
I remember when rayful Edmond and them got locked up I was like 11 years old that 💩 used to come on TV all day everyday in DC
hell yeah
I do too and bodies was everywhere. I remember not being able to go out for recess.
We had family in DC, but we lived in VA. My mom used to want to be back across the bridge before sundown, it was crazy
I can’t believe dude really home
Good to see you home Tony!✊🏿
Real OG.. welcome home slim love 💪🏾💯this our real OG in DC one of the best he’s gonna make things right he deserves to be home he should’ve did the time he did

Glad to see homie free
Them Devils wasn't playing with yall
Damn dat 30 years fucked his nerves up🤦🏿
Duhh
I'm glad vlad did this interview and not the mind plug 😂
I wonder if any money was put away because some of the NEW YORK guys kept money in a safe and retrieved it once their time was over.
Welcome home slim D.C 4life
34yrs in prison wow man…
Real "DC" dude
The game is the game always🥱🤷🏾♂️
Slam dunk cases usually don't have plea deals.
This was after the Len Bias and Marion Barry situation. DC and lot of major cities wanted to make an example. There was no guilty or not guilty option it was “ go straight to jail, do not pass go do not collect 200”.
Before Marion Barry
GOD BLESS KINGS & QUEENS ✊🏽 BE SAFE OUT CHEA 🙏🏽 WELCOME HOME KING 👑 WASHINGTON DC ( UPTOWN )
I got to F.C.I. Cumberland 2005, Black don’t Crack cause OG aged very well n still has Tons n Tons of living n experienceing to do 💯💯
Tony 💯a good dude...extra real nigga like my self...
Salute to a real one.
I was never offer a plea on my case either, and my case was no way near as big as his
Real Legend
he right cause if u think about Rayful didnt snitch right off the back so they didn’t offer him a plea deal either
1st. was an operation, but it wasn't major. Just that one of their men killed three cops and wounded another.
Not glorifying. But dam. They was some serious cash back then . Wow .....
I always wondered why lawyers are able to keep dirty money from guys like this. Isn't that some form of laundering.
😂😂 just hand me your dirty money dawg
It's a loop hole being that you're innocent until proven guilty n the court of law the money you received before conviction is technically clean bc it wasn't proven dirty at the time of recieval

He look so angry in the thumbnail I wonder why?
Free my OG "Shaft aka 6. Been down since "95".
Ayyyy
I wonder how many men he laid up with in that prison
For the 150th time Vladimir he was NOT offered a plea deal! DAMMIT BOYYYY
I think TK Kirkland told on everybody 🤣
Skrate up
all true...
John Gotti’s crew wasn’t allowed to take plea deals because he saw it as snitching on yourself, and if you willingly snitch on yourself you’ll snitch on anyone in the crew
How’d that work out?
@@treedillinger5801 🐀🐀🐀
@@tmac7887 I don’t pretend to be part of that world, Champ. I’m not condoning snitching, incidentally…just asking you how it worked out.
@@treedillinger5801 Nigga stfu, u didn’t have to comment
@@treedillinger5801 nothing wrong with asking a question that you don’t know don’t bow down to ignorance though my guy
That’s Krazy rayford was getting more wen he was locked up den he did wen he was free in his prime
You decided to be a drug dealer. That is all. Did the crime, do that time. If you were a postal worker, this would not have happened to you.
Mane 98% of them plea deals ain't just aspecting time, niccas is telling as well. If you gonna talk fed talk, give the whole run down.
He shouldn’t have did the time he did is what I meant to say

Taking 30yrs in the 80’a is a win, I guess
Are you serious?
