The Beatnuts x Cuban Link x Big Pun - Off The Books! Great tune! Thanks for this guys ❤🔥
Glad you enjoyed the video!
24k album by Cuban link was 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate your comment and support!
I remember when Cuban link was in chicago a few years back living in the trap house trying to preform at back yard BBQs😂
Sounds like a wild journey from the trap house to the big stage!
Great interview.
Cuban is one of the most underrated rappers to ever do it.
CUBAN LINK 💯 real dude & talented ASF. Good interview bros 👍✔️💪💪💪✔️💪💪💪
Great conversation about Cuba in the beginning.
Wow! What a great session and a great guest! Cuban link!!!
So glad you enjoyed the session with Cuban Link! Your support means the world to us.
This is awesome I am surprised y’all know about Cuban
These conversations are so relevant today in understanding the way we grew up in those times and the similarities of cultures divided and those trying to make it who were targeted and yet found an alternative way to make it for their families. Hard to understand what is happening today. Keep the convo coming. It’s educational and understandable. Thanks John & Gene.
Thanks for great words 28:49
One of the best Mcs
Alite is really international. He's been around the world and back.
Alite's passport must be full of stamps by now!
It's amazing to me that people here don't understand the Cuban culture!
I lived in south fla for
13 years and did catering worked many Cuban parties
They are a great culture! Work hard,family oriented, good education and love to party!
I guess spell check changed my word! I am so sorry I didn't catch it for a few days! I fixed it now.
They think they the Germans of the Caribbean
Love it John and Gene! I used to watch Gravanos chamnel thinking he was the truth until i viewed this channel and these stories add up to what more mobsters around that era were saying. You and other mafiosos stories add up. Common sense says Gravanos lying and you arent! I respect it. Keep the contenr coming. You, NYC Crimespot and Larry Mazza are killing it! How would i go about lur hasing signed memorabilia? Would love to collect John and Genes Memorabila. I met Link in Chicago some years back, that man stares into youre soul, but very respectful. People think Cubans coked up, hes not thats his demeanor. Hes very thetrical alot of Cubans are like that. Just like Italians. Use hand gestures.
🎤 Cuban is one hellava guy. Fly pelican fly 🎶 😎
Thanks for watching and commenting 11:48

That coke got Cuban going crazy
Much respect to you John. You seem like a very cool person. Much love from a Croatian-Serbian
Thank you so much for your kind words! Much love from me to you too!
Cuban Link is one of the smoothest slick word play Lyricist… for those who actually know what Rap is and how to really Flow… one hundred words minimum for real rappers not 10 words including the chorus and adlibs and dubs… Bars ~N ~Hooks… cheers 🍻 🪝’s
Great interviewers just let the person or people talk . Great job. Doug crazy he said I get alite for the rello on the smoove tip . 😂😂😂 Big up cuban link .
Lets rather talk about how fat joe told chris pacciolo "thanks for the vip treatment, now get out. I dont hang with rats".
Maybe Fat Joe should stick to rapping and leave the VIP treatment to others!
@@johnalite Your views would SOAR if you interviewed Pistol Pete next. I would pay just to watch you call him for the invitation.
John interrupted after 50’minutes
Thank you
Tired of him complaining
John not once agreeed he just listened like a real G didn’t pick sides .
The younger guy gene was agreeing .
Anyhow
John Alite wish you and Sammy could fix your disagreement
At the end
Both of you are REAL GANGSTERs
One love John stay up

Did youz dump Felix.
I remember driving into Apatzingán Mich Mexico, the same place from where El Mencho was from and seeing the pieces of meat 🍖 hanging like pigs hanging in a freezer and realizing they're headless human beings. Everyone was to afraid especially when the Los Zetas would drive through in trucks with a Z on the side and all in black military clothes. People gong missing.

Cuban FOS never been a tough guy. Cut it out. I did this I did that. 30 years and he ducked and dodged until You Tube came out and he can be a talking celebrity. Tell the truth he knows why he got that. Hes fronting. Tired of hearing him.
