Anyone who knows knows Pablo is as not the richest at all Pablo is only the biggest known cause of the war with the gov everyone knows who’s Rafa was and who the richest were Pablo couldn’t be the richest cause of all the drama Rafa is his own boss
I'm surprised you got Alex to talk about all this. That's amazing bro. I'm glad you out on the city Miami. Shout out my dawg Alex and Organic Food Kingz
That was an amazing episode. Always been a big fan of the old real cocaine story's from back in the day's. Especially when told by someone that lived it or was around during that Era 💯 Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
You straight-up earned my subscription. Enticingly edited, truly informed sources, and some actual new history of the era, not just rehashed clips. Good on ya
Alex is definitely a real one, and the streets respect him from NY to Miami. Laugh at the vegan thing if you want, but this Brother went legit and now runs several successful businesses. Salute!
And starting a business knowing damn well it's gonna successful you don't start a business cause you want to well you obviously donthay but the type of business you start you wanna make sure it'll make money and my man did that smart
@Tristan Rivers lol! The streets don't give a fuck who your daddy is. This dude got pinched as soon as he went dolo, how does that give him a crazy rep? I'm with you broski
I absolutely love this style of interview. Obviously johnny wasnt able to meet the guy for whatever reason but it actually felt more like a documentary than an interview and i really enjoyed it
Extremely dissapointed with Johnny for allowing this BS on his channel, Rivi was the head enforcer of the Colombians in Miami and at the end of her Run Griselda had Rivi dropping Rafas men like flys, Favito Ochoa the nephew of Fabio Ochoa went to Miami and was told by John Robert’s that Barry seals killers will be arrested on sight and Fabio sent them anyways.. Rafa was a Horrible Coke smoker that would go off the rails and kill his men for no reason he was not some extremely intelligent Kingpin he was put in position by the Head guys in Colombia
Shoutout to Alex. We helped him make Organic HUGE and now we run Miami Vegan food. Alex is my BROTHER and its forever. Alex + Me + Tyler Wisby are the wave in the south. Ya heard me
The moral of the story was that Rafa, Griselda, Cumbamba ect were the biggest drug dealers AND killers back then. . Rivi was "brought" into the scene Miami scene much later and then he began living the cartel lifestyle. 😊 "Rivi" wasn't as "CRAZY" as all Columbian killers because Rivi was afraid to help "Miguelíto Perez STAB "Pupo Mejia" at Miami International Airport. . . .Migeulíto had to do the stabbing all by himself.
@@tatebones544 he’s talking about riverito not Blanca … but that whole Griselda organization was undeniable in how they operated and the level of income and influence they built … I’m from bk nyc and grew up around all aspects of the street shxt but def never glamorize or endorse any of it probably cuz I grew up seeing the impact of that lifestyle BUT I believe that legal or not, when a group of ppl are organizing themselves and conducting business in an efficient way to where they earn huge income that goes to support many families and generations … Hate it or love it, groups like Griselda conducted business in an industry that existed because wealthy white American and European ppl have huge appetite for drugs and these groups filled that desire … they took the risks of insane prison terms for brining in cash like few others industries … and none that they’d be able to access
it's cool that your showing the people of miami that were involved in that because about i started looking in to this but there's not a lot of information on all those people i also sometimes wonder who a lot of the people were in miami that had got killed because there was a lot of deaths in that war but they never say who they were so it's interesting to hear it from someone who ACTUALLY has some insight on the whole era
These stories are probably at least 75% true which makes them all totally insane- I live in Medellin half the year, still can’t believe what the city of Medellin is now compared to back then
I’ve just come across your channel & watched this bro (top stuff) I’ve been into all the cocaine cowboys stuff since the documentary came out so this was awesome to watch. It would be great to see more stuff about the other hitmen who were in griseldas crew too put together 10/10 just like this was… (I’m subscribing aswell)
that life is : life in the garbage !!! you can't enjoy life and be relaxed because you have enemies that wants to kill you and you need to look over your shoulder all the time !!!
The picture you have in the video is not of Pinina. That's "El Arete" . Pinina was in fact one of Pablos closest enforcers. He started with Pablo at a very young age.
Thy for this upload covering this topic i love the cocaine cowboys documentary story I saw the part 2 when griselda went against the cartel. Ty !! This awesome.
I have confirmed it is the best vegan food in Miami! I watched the video below and decided to visit his restaurant on my first trip to Miami. I met him in person and I would post the pictures here but it will not let me.
Sad to say serio but now that time has passed and these kiddos are now grown Men from there uncles, dads, cousins Thank you for the share I’m sure they would roll over in there graves if they were forgotten !!!!
Every one grifting off a time they weren’t alive and embellishing the heck out of stories. Yea I’m an old head that made it out alive from a time many didn’t for various reasons. I don’t claim to be anything other than being in Miami and part of its “nightlife”. But to see so many coming out of the woodwork hustling for the green it’s funny.
Not the original. There’s a first part that documents gyay like Rafa and a couple others. Then there part 2 that’s about the god mother and a black guy from Oakland she was seeing. Then the Netflix one about the 2 brothers in Miami
Artisanal cocaine was called Fishscale....ether made it high quality...you can't compare that to anything they make nowadays.... quality over quantity. Small batches sold for 50 K in 81 ...that was the equivalent of 80 thousand in today's money ..you could buy an efficiency in Miami beach For 12k ...
Rafa couldn’t have done anything if it wasn’t for Max Mermelstein nothing of this is mentioned but that’s facts if you enjoy this find his book, The Man that made it Snow by Max
i could be wrong but doing the things Rafa did i imagine the less people that knew your name the better ! i would have been fine being totally unknown as long as i was making bank .
No ones gonna talk about how she was willing to quit school just to be this mans wife and the mother of his children talk about NY SWAG dam boy your daddy was a G
Lots of bullshit here. Just what great storytelling is. That is where the credit is for this channel. Great storytelloing and a dim audience thirsty for a story about someone who could be their next door neighbor doing things for money and fame beating the government.
There was another Queen pin in Colombia Rodriguez Gacha had her Assassinated. Veronica Rivera. So Max Mermalstien didn't have anything to do with thee assassination of Rafa?
I feel like this guy is just an actor who's completely making this shit up and making it sound plausible, or at the very very least exaggareting by a whole lot
Check this out johan I am not no actor do a back round check on me ask about me in Miami …. Shit real or look me up on google I have a net worth but that’s neither here or there I did this story two put respect on Rafa name I been rich no need for clout …. People who you ask about me who know me would tell you about who I am and what I stand for …. I Owen all types of business long money lol
Shit enjoy this video i love them all im so into all gangster cartel mafia type shit love your site bro and unique also is a beast when he was in that life great everything
It's crazy that he was newyorican and couldn't speak Spanish at all tho He must didn't come from the island ? There's a bunch of em moving here now but they come from the island too they done invented a new yorican spanglish at this point
Thank you to everyone for the support! Leave a like and a comment if you enjoyed this video.

There in the video together walking down the street so he did meet him
Therefore Alex could finish every sentence
@@tipr8739right right... right. right.
Much needed I been waiting on story on Rafa for years at least 10 I always knew he was special
“Robert agrees to marry his sister…” is a WILD statement. 😂
i'll make you an offer you can't refuse...

HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT RAFA BUT NOT TALK ABOUT THEIR BIGGEST HITMAN IN THAT GRISALDA CREW IT WAS “RIVI” RIVERITO
she was a boss there biggest pusher for miami
The moral of the story was that Rafa, Griselda, Cumbamba ect were the biggest drug dealers AND killers back then. . Rivi was "brought" into the scene Miami scene much later and then he began living the cartel lifestyle. 😊
"Rivi" wasn't as "CRAZY" as all Columbian killers because Rivi was afraid to help "Miguelíto Perez STAB "Pupo Mejia" at Miami International Airport. . . .Migeulíto had to do the stabbing all by himself.
Because this episode isn't about "RIVI"

Cuz the topic is”connect” Rafa was the biggest seller for Griselda at one point

This back2back story telling is DOPE🎯
This is that guy you smoke 💨 a blunt with and it’s just burning 🔥 while he tells you his life story 😂😂😂
Great episode! Can’t wait for next week
Alex is a good dude now. He was actually recently attacked outside one of his food trucks down here. Hope he’s alright
Great interview but my first thought is he needs to be careful. I assume there’s reasons why this information isn’t so easy to obtain.
He's an awesome story teller and did an excellent job of making it seem super realistic as if we are all living that life in that time period
Lyin @$$
At 16.24 that looks like the same Apartment building from wardogs when dude pulls the gun from the trunk trying to buy some smoke
the background music is fire for no reason
I have no idea if these stories are actually 💯 real or not (I’m guessing not) but I can’t deny the storytelling is on point.
You better do your research if you think this is fake lol
Loll howd you guess 'not'?
These stories are probably at least 75% true which makes them all totally insane-
I live in Medellin half the year, still can’t believe what the city of Medellin is now compared to back then
@@joshua-nf3rx id say more like 60% true
Rivi was the coldest hit man out of all of them

Respect for this man still respecting his grandma

“Rafa Was CRAZY!” -John Roberts
If you had 100 million
Coming from poverty, would you be normal? Lol
Rafa smoked bazooka joints
@@elenahorta7438 I think it was the 100 coke filled cigarettes 🚬 he was chain smoking per day. Bazooka
@@derekolivas6943 “they would empty the tobacco and fill it with cocaine, his table had a huuuuge pile of tobacco all over the place.” 😂
@@elenahorta7438 but to answer your question if I had 5 million not coming from poverty I wouldn’t be close to normal 😂
That was unreal. Such a cliff hanger at the end 😭😭😭
I have confirmed it is the best vegan food in Miami! I watched the video below and decided to visit his restaurant on my first trip to Miami. I met him in person and I would post the pictures here but it will not let me.
Damn, that was a dope ass story. I remember watching cocaine Cowboys, the first one and the second one I remember RAFA.
It’s a bit suspect where matey ends up being the hero every time ain’t it? I think so anyway.
You doing a great job 👏 good info
Sad to say serio but now that time has passed and these kiddos are now grown Men from there uncles, dads, cousins Thank you for the share I’m sure they would roll over in there graves if they were forgotten !!!!
Jon and Mickey told me so many hilarious stories about Rafa. Jon is my Godfather and was so much more than what was shown of him on Cocaine Cowboys.
Great video thanks 💯
😂 the intro.
He said Pablo 7 times in one sentence… we get it lol
Every one grifting off a time they weren’t alive and embellishing the heck out of stories. Yea I’m an old head that made it out alive from a time many didn’t for various reasons. I don’t claim to be anything other than being in Miami and part of its “nightlife”.
But to see so many coming out of the woodwork hustling for the green it’s funny.
As much as I love this... The quality is a lot better on here than the Patreon. Please fix it
Awesome cheers mate 👍
Lol it’s funny bc if you watch the original cocaine cowboys documentary, everyone tells about how rafa was out of his mind and was a massive junkie
The book American desperado talks about how Rafa was always high on coke also. Your right! Massive junkie.
The next ep gonna be a mazza!
Just discovered your channel. Compelling story! Almost wish I didn’t find it until Part II was released as I hate the suspense 💕
This is one of the best channels no doubt,
Matatan. Ribirin HS,
My boi rocking that mollet
Isn't cocaine cowboys a Netflix documentary?
Not the original. There’s a first part that documents gyay like Rafa and a couple others. Then there part 2 that’s about the god mother and a black guy from Oakland she was seeing. Then the Netflix one about the 2 brothers in Miami
No
ya they picked it up way late tho there was already one out and then they snagged it and made a few more but the first one was way better
He dont know
Netflix is trash
We need part 2
Had higher expectations from the title
Where is part 2? I cant find it lol
Imagine Rafa showing up when your baby is born 😂
Wow……………….🏴love from Scotland 🏴
Looking forward to Pt2 😮💨
Fuckkkk!! You got me! I’ll definitely be back next week 💪🏼😂

You should have showed us pictures of the couple and the family from Columbia!!
That was great more more BRAVO 💯💰 part 2#really good 🔥🔥🔥😡😡😡😈
hey buddy you have a link of the interview without you interrupting every 30 sec
You said pinina (john jairo arias tascon) but the guy on the picture is el arete (carlos mario alzate urquijo) so what is the deal?
i could be wrong but doing the things Rafa did i imagine the less people that knew your name the better !
