36 now but I still remember what my father told me at 7 when I was getting bullied "don't you dare run, even if you know you gonna lose you fight anyway, the second you choose to run you'll be running the rest of your life"
Dumb. Risk brain damage, internal damage, permanent scars over false sense of integrity and bravado? No wonder y’all be shooting and killing each other so easy. Where has it ever has been a smart thing to go 1 against seven? No military general would want those type of odds so what are you niggas sayin?
As someone who did 17 years in Mississippi Department of Corrections he spoke facts especially about when that one Man who ever he made be speakings his words is law 💯. Because 9/10 he is the one who controls all the illegal trade 😂 and no one the Man who got dopes Money canteen and ECT to go up top or shut shit down for a few days because butthead and his homies BS. Ever seen 6 MF trying to smoke one cigarette 🤣🤣
I did almost ten years in maximum security, and while I can respect a person for a philosophical stance on non-violence, in places like that, choosing not to engage in violence (more often than not) just creates an even more ripened culture of predation where you live. Bullies get encouraged and emboldened by their victims and the victims of others. An appropriate amount of force is oftentimes the prefect deterrence to a future of violence. You can't speak poetry to someone who isn't a poet-- when you meet a swordsman, draw your sword.
Love me some Ali. When he talks you listen because he is spittin' truth and making you laugh. He's been through a lot and survived. Mad respect for him.
No it's not, what's powerful is if he had said put your hands on another Human being and see what happens. Your skin color is not who you are, it's just an evolutionary adaptation to protect you from the sun and a tool for the System to keep the foolish under control.
He's 100% right that's one thing I realized in jail here we are wilding out and attacking each other and everybody else is sitting around like family sharing everything.
@@thatlsk I see you're very ignorant person you know asking that type of question in there we'll get your jaw broken you need to stick to the original point.. you watch too many Charles Bronson movies if you're going to try to have a dialogue grow up first and stop with the gay s***
@@garyflythe1362 them eses move like a family. If one eats, they all eat. They'll take you in as soon as you come in and make sure you got extra soap, socks, w.e. Every night after dinner they sit around and share a big ass feast. They really look out for each other. My first time behind bars I had this old head, he'd been up the road and had to sit down for years and he made sure I was straight. So after my first 6 months I did the same with a youngin who had just came in. Bruh was nervous and didn't know how to move. "Don't sit over there, don't walk into anyone's house, don't accept no free shit, don't speak about your release date, don't talk about your charges, etc. There's a few brothers who'll look out for youngins but it's not as prevalent as it should be.
Kind of like 50 did with rap. He had to get shot 9 times so no one could ever question his authenticity, ever. Siddiq is the same. He had to survive all this to make his stories compelling.
When I was a teenager , I had an older brother (12 years my senior) who was released from Angola prison. He taught me like Ali. I am forever grateful to him .
@@jee9473 And truth be told, my older brother's prison wisdom has helped me maneuver through situations like red- neck oil drilling rigs in the south, and the rough part of town in regions such as the Middle East, south America and Sub-Saharan Africa.
This was my late twins’ manifesto in life. “Never let nobody disrespect you the first time because if you give them one pass, it’s set fir life. Fight for your respect till death if need be.” He lived by that code and nobody tried him twice. He left me with that and now I live and is prepared to die by the same code. Ali is preaching a gospel which all black people need to understand and embrace.
💯 Everybody can’t do time. That’s why so many people tell so they can go home. I got a brother and uncle that did serious time that can confirm that is the norm. Your stay will be 10X harder if you let somebody punk you.
Even if you lose. You gotta get out there. I don't know how I managed to do almost 2 years ( 3mo county 18mo state) and not get into a single fight. Nobody talked down to me or disrespected me. I think it was because I was 35 and I have a calm demeanor. The woods kept asking me to chop it up with them but I always respectfully declined I rolled solo the whole time. Just mind your own business, don't talk on anything that doesn't involve you, and carry yourself like a man. I don't know, I just got lucky I guess I'm sure me being 6'1 230 helped me a little bit but there are a lot of big mother fuckers in there. Anywho, FUCK CORRECTIONS OFFICERS. They are the most evil mother fuckers I have ever met, way way worse people than those they are in charge of.
@@steverichards7469 Oh yeah. COs definitely abuse their authority and move like a gang in prison too. Had fam that spent a lot of time in the hole due to issues with COs.
Very true. My father spent a whole Fuckin Year of his Life in the Shu! A Year! This was late 90s Corcoran where The Sheriff's Where Making Evey other Ethnic Group Fight each other.just for there own Entertainment! My Papa Said to me one time. " if you can Survive L.A County You Can Survive in Prison" Never Been Arrested Nor do i Ever plan on It
When I was young I knew that I never wanted to go to prison. Did some dumb things as a preteen, but in my early teens I was hanging around the wrong people …. thank goodness most of them knew I was not built for that life, so they never got me involved. I used to think they were dissing me, they were protecting me. A few of my friends that did time, some of them did a lot of it, I’m friends with to this day, and I’m 59. Many of them told me they liked hanging out with me because I was safe to be around, they knew I wasn’t looking for trouble. What’s funny is that some of them, if they were looking for some trouble later that night, they dropped me off at home and they went on their way. They never told me what they were up to, and I never asked.
@StanHowse That is very true I don't wanna take anything away from that, BUT this is still something men need to know about respect. As my ma and pop said to me "it's easy to get into trouble... it's hard to get out of it." And people end up in situations all the time by complete bullshit we see it often "officer got questions just do what he says we'll sort it out later" well sorting it out later didn't end up so good! Buddy has to sit down for a min in a building with these type of people and while yes he learned about not going to jail/prison he still ended up there beit he wasn't listening, deserved it, complete accident, total bullshit GF lied on him WHATEVER the reason he still will be better off having learned this lesson. Because we all learn and need to learn shit that we never want to use: don't need gun safety I'll never use it, then you NEED to use it and don't know how or misuses it. I don't plan to ever be in that bad situation so I don't need to learn about how to manage it.... nah not quite how life comes at you. There's nothing wrong with this being taught to our young men in addition to being taught to not end up there in the 1st place.
I remember when Hillary came to an HBCU to talk about Prison reform and changing drug laws. And the Kids there set her straight "we are in a place of higher learning, the people you see here are going to be the Doctors, lawyers, Engineers and business owners of there community, what made you think that was the speech we need hear, when you see black is that what you think our first concern is?" it was not the first time that situation happened, but it never left whenever i see a comment thats similar in mindset. There is more to being black than dealing with the legacy of the US Prison system, there is more to being black than dealing with sentencing reform, there is more to being black than learning how to comport yourself in Prison. Do these talks need to happen with a segment of our community? without question But there are other concerns in my household, where will my kids go for a secondary education and how much debt will they leave those institutions with how affordable will housing be for young first time buyers.
A rare moment when Godfrey isn't interrupting what someone else has to share. Granted sometimes the interruption may be necessary to keep a show flowing and interesting, but too often and it's difficult to hear what a guest has to say. Never a problem with Ali. 💙
Not even ona prison tip, I had to learn this naturally by just being a laid back nigga. I realized mfs would look at that as weakness for whatever reason. I’m secure in my self so don’t need to prove to niggas I’m tough so I had to learn to be laid back but stern in my values. There’s a lot of shit I don’t tolerate cause I’m already knowing it can become a bigger issue. Never let someone get comfortable disrespecting u💯💯
This. I'm only NOW learning this. Grown as I am (mid thirties) I'm only now learning this because I was A female last child, always the smallest, the quietest, the shortest.... After having my child I realised it was me or others and I chose me and mine so I'll say what needs to be said regardless of feelings
One of the things that always got to me about TDCJ , in every unit I went the blacks never came together like the browns and whites . Every holiday we would be eating and everyone throws in and the blacks would always be eating their own . All because they wouldn’t pitch in for one another . That always made me think.
As a black man, I honestly understand it now because I used to be the same way. If from your kid days you constantly hear 'fuck that ni**a', or the term 'bitch ass ni**a, frequently used in music and movies, that's how you associate all blacks. In turn I subconsciously hated my own for no reason. The mind is like a field and what is planted in it will grow, those seeds of hating people that looked like me were placed, and I fell for it. Thankfully I was able to self reflect and turn around my thinking. Now it's time to help others.
Did my TDC time in the 80's. Raza had their own thing for Christmas spreads. Since I was an older guy, I was kind of a de facto in charge of organizing who brings what, who cooks, who cleans, etc. There were 2 of the black dudes on the line that were around 19/20 years old. They came to me with respect, & asked to talk with me. They asked if they could contribute to the spread and take part. I had to tell them "no". Racial politics in TDC was really strict about mixing. Although there were black dudes who were undercover ears and were treated by Raza as intelligence, we never approached them, nor they us out in the open. Ok, day of the Christmas spread comes, it's on. Raza is having a peaceful, respectful good time with the spread. There was about 30 of us. We even had a bato who had a small batcha of "chock" that a few of us passed around. Much smoking, and talking, eating, and having a relaxing time. I had 2 sandwiches made up, full-packed, good, hot, roast beef sandwiches. I had them delivered to those two younger black dudes. Even though we could not fraternize, I still wanted them to know that We recognize them as humans, and valid individuals. I think they understood as well, and even though I wish I could say alliances were made; things had to go back to the normal flow (routines). You stay in your end, we stay on our end. It was a shame that black folks couldn't unite, even for just one night of the year, to just put down any conflicts, and just fellowship amoungst each other.
@@JarthenGreenmeadow I may be wrong but you seem to have fallen for the same propaganda that I did, if I’m wrong then pardon my ignorance. May I ask what bothers you about black people?
Ali is a great man I met him and Marcus recently he is one down brother…..what he said is gospel in the joint as well as outside it’s not if you can fight it’s if you will fight that makes all the difference
I assume your definition of fair and most peoples are probably different, you been dealing by with that system and more than likely your morales have been skewed by it.
I did the same as a CO. My run was cool on my shift. Inmates couldn't wait for me to come to work. That 4 yrs ago, and i see these same men in the streets, and it's nothing but respect.
The longest I ever did was 3 months in jail. What I learned was mind your business and have respect for the next man and you're good. Talking too much and being too friendly is how you get into shit.💯🤔
You can't give people in prison an inch. Make your mark on the first dummy they bully to step up to you. If not. You might be washing other dudes under ware or worst. Bottoms up.
I would watch or listen to a show starring these two ALL DAY... maybe you can do a weekly podcast or something I'm positive people would be interested besides me 😉
@@cdshawn We can have 100 great comedians, and we can express our views about them exactly how we want to. No one appointed you to police other people's comments.
I'd say he's better in terms of wisdom. Chappelle was doing comedy since in he was high school, no life experience outside of that. Ali seen a lot in prison, had to grow up faster because of it.
@@thepoeticbutcher3370 Never said that. I respect Ali's wisdom for the tribulations he went through. If he went through homelessness, was a war veteran, or anything like that, I'd respect him as well. Like I said, Chappelle was doing stand up since high school, this is all he knows. Here is an example for you: a singer who's lived life a little bit and got famous at 28, in contrast to someone some pop star who got famous at 18. The one at 28 has real life experiences to draw from. Not that someone in high school hasn't, but it's far more likely the 28 year old has.
I know so many people that lived by respect on the inside but forget about it on. The outside, Im 54 and still not taking no disrespect out here in the free world, there is so many people outta pocket on the daily because of no retaliation, people need to start chin checking these keyboard internet gangsters who like woofin instead of fading!! This man 💯💯💯
@@micheal16sore No. He gave the Mexicans a shout out. He was comparing how black people treat their own to how Mexicans treat their own. When he said "don't jump on him", he was talking about black inmates about to jump another black dude. They got upset when he told them to give the guy a fair fight. Because they took issue with it, he told them that no black person will fight another black person, period! Funny thing is, I used to think Ali was lying about his prison stay, but people have come out to confirm it. They literally said that Ali and the other older guys said that everyone 21 and under will take educational courses, those who refuse would get beat down. That account was backed up by another former inmate. So, he did have some clout in prison.
Thays true...I'm from Oregon where if u see another blsck person you always waved and said whats up or nodded then I moved to Florida where blacks just ignore each other and treat each other like shit.
Glad he stood up for the guy! But I think he should've explained more about the setup. One person saying something with 2 or 3 ppl with him gives the impression that you're up against all of them. Especially if he or they are bigger than you! And often times they do rat pack or jump ppl. And sometimes checking in you gotta wait! So now you gotta deal with it.
My mama always told me never start a fight but finish it & never tolerate disrespect from NOBODY & my pop told me never let another man hold the door open for you meaning never let another man do anything for you cause it’s a favor for favor kind of world
DAAAAAM.....DID YALL SEEEE HOW HIS 👀 AND FACE ...TURNED INTO SOMETHING ELSE!!!! HE WAS BACK IN THAT SITUATION AT THAT TIME...THAT SCARED MEEE!! LOOVE YOUR PODCAST.....AND MR. ALI ONE OF THE BEST.

It wasn’t about being hard, it was about standing as a man; win, lose or draw. Sometimes losing a fight don’t mean you lost when you gain respect.
Gaining respect is the most powerful thing you can do in any situation. Respect goes a long way in any situation

There is no such thing as losing a fight in the Prison. Long as you fight you always win. Regardless if you get your ass kicked.
True
Ha you a damn lie
You can tell bro he's a real one and he's a comic to God bless bro God bless
If you ever get a chance to see Ali live… do it!!! Always top tier.
Ali and Goddfrey❤ I need more from the both of you as a DUO
I've always said this. Everybody else take in their own give them what they need, but us in there mistreating our own!
Told my kid at 10, you dont need to win but you need to leave the impression. Never let anyone, not for any reason.
Ali is a great man I met him and Marcus recently he is one down brother…..what he said is gospel in the joint as well as outside it’s not if you can fight it’s if you will fight that makes all the difference
Ali got the cadence of a southern Baptist preacher... Jesus man. Bro speaks so powerfully
Ali Saddiq is the funniest comedian today.
😐
Factz!!!!
No but he’s funny
not really funny at all in my opinion
you cant be serious. he's really funny but even he wouldn't agree with you.
When he calm his voice down you instantly start laughing 🤣🤣🤣 You know he bout to tell the best story ever
Ali’s damn stories got me forgetting to flip my chicken lol
😂😂😂
Ali always talking real ish! ❤️
Its like that i was a CO in TDCJ. I helped black inmates squash allot of beef but you have to hold your own nuts in the end. I was always fair.
Correctional officers and Detention officers don’t get enough credit.
My respects to you sir 👊🏽
I assume your definition of fair and most peoples are probably different, you been dealing by with that system and more than likely your morales have been skewed by it.
@@sianas11 that was 13 years ago so im out
Part of the system. For a check!!!
I did the same as a CO. My run was cool on my shift. Inmates couldn't wait for me to come to work. That 4 yrs ago, and i see these same men in the streets, and it's nothing but respect.
He is exactly right. I worked for tdcj for 19 years.
The longest I ever did was 3 months in jail. What I learned was mind your business and have respect for the next man and you're good. Talking too much and being too friendly is how you get into shit.💯🤔
I respect anyone who stays out of jail💯💯💯💯
That's good. Honestly.
You can't give people in prison an inch. Make your mark on the first dummy they bully to step up to you. If not. You might be washing other dudes under ware or worst. Bottoms up.
All time favorite Houston finest
Always on time with the episodes
Shout out to Brother Godfrey and Ali Saddiq❤❤❤
You just gotta love the way he takes his time telling a story.
Wow. One of the rare godfrey interviews where he isnt tryna dominate the convos. This homebody always makes the audience quiet as fuck. I love ali
This is a great example of an OG. Loves rules. Loves fairness. Believes there’s consequences to every action. Willing to bang.
Respect to Brother Ali
I need this episode 😂
He's my second favorite comedian right now
Who’s number 1?
@@MarcustheServant Dave Chappelle
If I was ever locked up,Ali definitely needed to be on scene. This brotha never disappoints. Lol. Great story teller.
Thanks for the re-upload idk why ya'll took both hours down there were definitely Classics
The latest 20 episodes stay on TH-cam. The only way to see every single episode, ad-free and uncensored, is to become a GaS Digital member.
Win lose or draw knuckle up don't let nobody disrespect you 👊🏾
I see why Dick Gregory said why Ali is important
DG passed Ali the spirit! He is definitely proud
Ali & Godfrey omg you both are the best xxxx love you and bless you both
He had Alamean and Mustafa on standby lmao
I would watch or listen to a show starring these two ALL DAY... maybe you can do a weekly podcast or something I'm positive people would be interested besides me 😉
❤ I appreciate the idea of looking out for each other
Ali is da GAWD! 🫡
Ali Siddiq🔥
"You got 3 THOUSAND people in a unit that refer to you as a bitch!" Hahaha
This brother is real all the way around
Ali that dude fam…
Ali is so damn Texan. Reminds me of my brothers. Definitely can't let folks try you. That's anywhere and everywhere.
Ali Saddiq gives me Chappelle vibes. He's that guy.
You know we can have more than 20 or 30 great Comedians and don't have to compare them at freaking all.
@@cdshawn We can have 100 great comedians, and we can express our views about them exactly how we want to. No one appointed you to police other people's comments.
I'd say he's better in terms of wisdom. Chappelle was doing comedy since in he was high school, no life experience outside of that. Ali seen a lot in prison, had to grow up faster because of it.
@@JS-cr5fn …..basically you’re saying that you respect prison.
#NiggazVsBlacks
@@thepoeticbutcher3370 Never said that. I respect Ali's wisdom for the tribulations he went through. If he went through homelessness, was a war veteran, or anything like that, I'd respect him as well. Like I said, Chappelle was doing stand up since high school, this is all he knows. Here is an example for you: a singer who's lived life a little bit and got famous at 28, in contrast to someone some pop star who got famous at 18. The one at 28 has real life experiences to draw from. Not that someone in high school hasn't, but it's far more likely the 28 year old has.
Godfrey’s face is everyone’s face listening to Ali… enthralled
Ali Siddiq is the real one, right there! they know they are wrong.
Thank my King brothers for sharing your stories on the platforms that you all have acquired. Stay productively blessed.
My two favorite people in one room
I love Ali! I need you 2 to have another sit down alone again!
OH BUT NO SIR REE BOB ARE YOU INSANE😂😂😂😂😂
What's good people!!
I know so many people that lived by respect on the inside but forget about it on. The outside, Im 54 and still not taking no disrespect out here in the free world, there is so many people outta pocket on the daily because of no retaliation, people need to start chin checking these keyboard internet gangsters who like woofin instead of fading!! This man 💯💯💯
Don’t put ya hands on another person black shit gave me chills 🔥
Nah buddy’s hamming it up . No way he talked like that to a bunch of Mexicans in Texas.
@@micheal16sore No. He gave the Mexicans a shout out. He was comparing how black people treat their own to how Mexicans treat their own. When he said "don't jump on him", he was talking about black inmates about to jump another black dude. They got upset when he told them to give the guy a fair fight. Because they took issue with it, he told them that no black person will fight another black person, period!
Funny thing is, I used to think Ali was lying about his prison stay, but people have come out to confirm it. They literally said that Ali and the other older guys said that everyone 21 and under will take educational courses, those who refuse would get beat down. That account was backed up by another former inmate. So, he did have some clout in prison.
@@thepeopleschamp1776I’m like damn homie was callin shots like that he realer than a lot of these rappers no cap
Thays true...I'm from Oregon where if u see another blsck person you always waved and said whats up or nodded then I moved to Florida where blacks just ignore each other and treat each other like shit.
Nobody going to say nothing about Godfrey's hair LMAO that man weave is on point
Always big on Ali!!! Straight DC... We all had to grow up learning how to put these hands to work.
Dam! If knowledge an't power! I don't know what is🤣💪🏼
Ali is HILARIOUS 😂🤦🏾♂️
Even if you lose you fight 💯🧠
Glad he stood up for the guy! But I think he should've explained more about the setup. One person saying something with 2 or 3 ppl with him gives the impression that you're up against all of them. Especially if he or they are bigger than you! And often times they do rat pack or jump ppl. And sometimes checking in you gotta wait! So now you gotta deal with it.
Could be that Siddiq had connections outside of the prison that made him untouchable in prison and the word got around????
This jawn was fiya
I need the full episode ASAP
You know you’re funny when you can make Godfrey laugh😅
🤘🏿💜 Greatest storyteller !
Ali is one of our griots.
Ali you the truth
My mama always told me never start a fight but finish it & never tolerate disrespect from NOBODY & my pop told me never let another man hold the door open for you meaning never let another man do anything for you cause it’s a favor for favor kind of world
I did 5 years. stand your ground even if your by yourself,swing first & deal with the consequences don’t show no weakness or fear
I could listen to you both speak to each other all day
..."matter of fact, y'all can't fight him now."
DAAAAAM.....DID YALL SEEEE HOW HIS 👀 AND FACE ...TURNED INTO SOMETHING ELSE!!!! HE WAS BACK IN THAT SITUATION AT THAT TIME...THAT SCARED MEEE!! LOOVE YOUR PODCAST.....AND MR. ALI ONE OF THE BEST.
Ali is easily one my favorite comedians rn
I have always had respect for Ali. This is why.
All is no “Rock Boss”! He so tough! 😭🤣
Ali is the best modern story teller. He would pas Chappelle except he dont got that tv look
Ali those stories I believe trust got some stories too! Run wit ya process! SALUTE!!!!!
Wow. I have to watch the whole episode now!
