People always see these stories and think the worst outcome is prison . Behind each one of these kingpins are 100,000s of broken hearts , destroyed childhoods . Destroyed lives ! Don’t forget it .
The black kingpins have been much worst than the Klan. The Klan lynched about 3500 black people. The GD's have killed more in the last 30 years. The Crips the same.
Tell um: "the greatest business in the line of business, is business of yo mutha fuckin own, so make it yo business to find you some business, and leave my mutha fuckin business alone"
I was born a raised in Detroit, left in 1980. I cry every time I go back and visit when I see how drugs and violence have destroyed a beautiful city. PLEASE DO NOT GLORIFY criminal and destructive behavior. Where does it get you - dead, broke or in jail talking about the good ole days. Give me a break.
All these Drug Kingpins destroyed the Black Hispanic and Poor White Communities that they served Heroin to along with The Racist Government that designed and infiltrated the Drugs into this Country that we are still feeling the repercussions to this day in America.

I would like to formally and publicly apologize to al profit for comments on another video in which I called al a "capture vulture" these comments are not true and came from a place of frustration. The truth is he provides documentaries on black figures instead of other community's he could focus on and that keeps our culture alive for generations to come . Thank you for your work
That was before rico hit organized crime hard...once the feds came with 100 to life sentences the street code started going out the window cause niggas was more scared of dying in jail than there own family and friends
@neon I'm not making an excuse for snitching just simply stating why more niggas flipped as time went on....in the 70s those drug charges were getting you 5 to 25 at the most ....niggas was willing to sit that out but once rico hit the rise in cooperation grew across the board from black to Italian organizations niggas started telling cause they wasnt seeing daylight again or to avoid the death penalty
Flex Mentallo they also didn’t have the forensic evidence like they have nowadays, so I do believe the loyalty and honour code was probably more tighter those days but it’d still be a different story if they had the modern forensics back than.
All of Al Profit's documentaries are da shit! Suggestion, if a Motown Mafia movie is done Al Profit should be da man to direct it cause he introduced the world to Da Motown Mafia! Eddie Jackson was a Playa fa' Real! Peep out his outfits and his hair! Ask his son how cool his pops was! He knows! Nuff Said!
Eddie Jackson is and remains a mythical character to many of us that grew up in and around Detroit. No question he was a straight gangsta but he was true businessman that created an empire.
No you don't have to respect a completely emasculated failure of the blackman's true worth to his family, his community, his family, his himself, and his God. If that is what you respect, that's your problem.
Eddie Jacksons was the underworlds version of chick fila. Taking care of everyone, having cops wanting to protect him, respecting every customer. You don’t see gangsters that take care of their neighbors anymore.
fatt_on da_track the fact that he didn’t snitch is the reason why he hasn’t had a movie or a series .. all they do is show rats ! The stand up guys get nothin ! Just look at the history of kingpin movies and series .. they all told
Eddie jackson is the truth , perfect clothing , perfect hair , respectful , take care of friends that dont have enough he will cover. Plus take trips with friends and family. They need to make a movie about eddie jackson for real.
This is why eddies kids turned out decent, well spoken, well dressed & politely speaking. He must have been a good man. He's tv interview sounded quite good, I truly have much respect for the man, from the documentary, it's seems he was a good a man. May he have peace.
WOW, that was one the greatest documentary or untold story I've seen on the 20th century drug trade in America! Very well put together + authentic to its core, showing the drastic differences between the drug lords of yesteryear compared to the brutal + ruthless sociopaths of modern day kingpins!
The one difference that you are missing, the Italian mafia, pushed drugs away from their neighborhoods, they knew they have to keep as many of their people intact, not weak and useless. That’s mafia. These guys was a well neighborhood crew that had some mafia like movements, like having cops on the pay role, but they killed their own neighborhood.Remember the mafia always was about hiding the wealth until they was able to wash the money in businesses to prove where the money came from, that’s why they made the (Rico law)
So wish I was born in the 60s so I could have enjoyed living&being BLACK in the 70s&80's. The family unit, music, respect for OTHERS was a priority during that time. Today is a wannabe, drama infested era. Social media has fried these youngins brains. No respect for OTHERS especially the Black Woman. Smh....

Nice documentary!!!! Loved it! Real people self!!! No snitching or folding. And their kids ended up very well educated. From the bottom to the top! Salute and R.i.p Eddie Jackson “The crowd pleaser” 💯🙏🏾🕊
I'm from Detroit and I'm so fascinated by this story. I don't mean to glorify this but Eddie Jackson's story is so unique and unlike any hustler story I've ever heard. I just heard about him a couple years ago. I can't wait to see a movie about him.
@@daishawngivins1106 I know ,he's big dealer wayback Motown,I was just doing an owl impression,what the owl say when he missed a shit playing pool?Twoeet twhoo!
Finally a proper documentary from this channel done proper, all the way through. Please keep this length of documentaries the same. Bravo 👏. God Bless.
Frank needed that money for his story. He paid his debt to society and made it back outside w/ no other real way to make money. That opportunity was very good for him.
@@uploadvidz4490 I'm not saying that from a judging point of view , Eddie seems more interesting for one....I have to say tho , it's kind of hard to feel the sympathy for Frank thats in your comment.
@@robertgray6310 he did what he had to do for him family. He has no control of what other people do. Just like the big business man. Most of destroyed alot of people to get on top. That applies to all big business. They dont get on top by being mr nice guy
These men in another life would've been CEO's. The power and influence to control other dangerous criminals compared to managing employees would've been a cake walk.
Honor , Respect - You're Fucking Crazy . Criminals Are Scumbags & Ruin The World . He Will Get His Legacy - In Hell . Is That Where You're Going Too ...... Is That Why You Are Trying To Turn The World Into Hell . Curse This Wicked Lying Criminal & Curse You Too .
It needs to be a movie. America is obsessed with gangster movies. Not saying it’s right, but if it’s ok to glorify Italian gangsters then why not show the black Kingpin?
@@ericwright5455 Because it's an issue of culture. Black people (whether square or not) understand the cultural aspects of the drug game in the black community. There are things that don't have to be spoken by black folk that's understood. Now for authenticity's sake yes, you'd be better off having someone with experience be an advisor.
Man, this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I'm so happy I just found this channel. Edit, I watched this whole thing from start to finish and somehow I didn't know about this until now. Its really amazing how nobody snitched out of 30 people. I've been around a little game in my past, nothing remotely on this level obviously, and luckily I knew when to call it quits. But I got to sit back and watch all my so called friends rat each other out just trying to save a little time. I'm not sure if this type of thing will ever be possible again in this day and age.
The crazy part is people know it’s 3 things that can come out of selling drugs and that’s somebody gonna snitch, death or you going to jail long as there making money it’s cool, but soon as they get caught up mf’s get to singing like Patti LaBelle like Eddie Jr said in the documentary if you can’t do the time find a legit job the drug business is not for you 🤷🏾♂️
Well John classen and his daughters and stepson. Treated me like family we lived almost directly across the street on parker ..he would pay me 25$ to shovel snow or rake leaves.when he moved into a certain mansion he told to come and without talking there about 3 million bucks stacked up and never mentioned again..he has always been my friend..I even copied his mustache
You didn't hear about EJ & CO. because he didn't put his business on the street. The biggest thing of any business venture is treating everyone involved with the utmost respect and taking care of everyone. Greed and jealousy are the factors that destroy these empires, especially when it comes to "black" gangsters. This guy was a kingpin in every way you can fathom.
What? Even the media knew who he was, so it's not like he was a Frank Mathews type character. Frank was way more illusive, in fact, the police didn't know he was a drug kingpin nevermind news reporters etc.
Eddie reminds me of az fazon. He helped out a lot of people an the person he helped most try to kill him I just don't get it .I used to sell h an I never burnt my people cause that's how I supported my habit I'm not ignorant loyalty is very rare now days
Notice how all the true hustla's come from the south and go up north and run shit we the real hustlas but Detroit new York and all these other places get the rep and we get called slow and country fuck that we know the real you niggas is soft and we take ova shit put some south in ya mouth like po pimp c said
Only bec Meech and Southwest T are originally from detroit, that's where they first got in the game. Besides BMF have their own documentary thats pretty good too.
@@JacobStayViben Stop deflecting. Yall get on my nerves with that. Eddie's story is one of my favorites but don't act like what he was doing was right. I'm not worried about no other people but my own. That's the problem. Yall wanna justify negativity.
@@glengarbera7367 It was heroine that started the violence, but the creation of crack gave almost anybody the ability to sell drugs, back in the day, you may have a had 2 people or small groups with connections allowing everyone to pretty much be their own boss, too much competition because of that and everyone had a crew, bip bam bomb, violence happened 🤷🏽♂️
Wow!!!! watched a lot of your work and this is the most amazing in my opinion!1 hour 9 minutes long never bored never wanted it to end!!!! American Dope , Al you know what your doing big time bro....
Went on youtube expecting the usual shit, then notice new Al Profit video! Things are looking up! Cheers Al The work you put in is appreciated by people!
@poker108 it's not the drug dealers I like, it's al's videos I enjoy I don't look at these guys as role models They destroyed there own neighbourhoods for profit! Not something to be idolised in my opinion!
Best Detroit drug dealer is the one you never heard about. Not the one "come flying around the corner in red convertible" while supposedly destitute. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Coutney Brown came to my job 4 years ago. I'm looking at this man like I know him from somewhere it didn't come to me until after he left that I saw him a documentary.
if your not busted by year 3 get out because sooner or later they coming for you. make your money and run but the money blinds even the smartest of big time dealers.
@@sweetazzpiew8490 sure it is but ready when they come for you and all because your worker or top dude told on you. They dont break you they break those closest to you and that's a fact
I always said the same thing. I remember when I used to go to the heroin house there would be so many people there. They made thousands a week but was eventually caught. If I would get heavily into the game, I would save money then move away to a whole different place not even close to where I sell dope and live in peace and use that money to take care of myself until I find a legit job
Something I find interesting in these stories of older generation, very high level black drug dealers, when you see and hear their kids, extremely well educated and articulate. So different than what is practiced or seems to be practices now with younger generations seeking a better life.
There's only one Al Profit! Thanks for your documentaries. Your great at what you do and the people you get to interview speaks volumes to your credit.

@@alprofit being a shot caller in Milan is like being a shot caller in county jail.Same backyard.Being a big dough boy will not make you shot caller material.Its the gangsters who run it
Nice documentary!!!! Loved it! Real people self!!! No snitching or folding. And their kids ended up very well educated. From the bottom to the top! Salute and R.i.p Eddie Jackson “The crowd pleaser” 💯🙏🏾🕊
right don't snitch on killing your own people and destroying so many lives
wtf
Al, your stuff just gets better and better. You're the top dog of the crime doc genre. Keep 'em coming.

Real OG’s this the first time I’ve heard about Eddie Jackson REAL GANGSTERS ☝🏾
I'm from Detroit and I'm so fascinated by this story. I don't mean to glorify this but Eddie Jackson's story is so unique and unlike any hustler story I've ever heard. I just heard about him a couple years ago. I can't wait to see a movie about him.
We have lots and lots more original content, watch this playlist th-cam.com/play/PLL9jHtZp8b21CV8XddIgvk636d1kI1hpI.html
@@alprofit Thanks Al. I've seen most of those but I'll check em out again soon.
Never heard the name Eddie Jackson before but now I know who he is
Who,who.
@@geoffedwards-tb4kp go to TH-cam look him up
@@daishawngivins1106 I know ,he's big dealer wayback Motown,I was just doing an owl impression,what the owl say when he missed a shit playing pool?Twoeet twhoo!
Eddie son is JUST LIKE his dad and grand dad...Courtney is JUST LIKE his dad but he used the wisdom for a better LEGAL outcome.
My man woke up said .."ima jus glue my skully hat on da side of my head 4 dis documentary interview 2day"🤔🤔🤔🤣😂🤣😂
Finally a proper documentary from this channel done proper, all the way through. Please keep this length of documentaries the same. Bravo 👏. God Bless.
Mr Eddie is a dinasaur they don't make them like that anymore. True Boss
What's a dinasaur ? I have heard of dinosaur. Just not dinasaur
@@djkanyetwitty fuck you
@@mrstanbmw that's all you have ? At least you spelled that right. There is hope for you after all.
@@djkanyetwitty man lmao
Fuk all of them. Killing our people and misleading our children. That why 75 percent of us in jail
A movie Should've been made about Eddie Jackson not Frank Lucas.
Totally agree. 💯
Frank needed that money for his story. He paid his debt to society and made it back outside w/ no other real way to make money. That opportunity was very good for him.
@@uploadvidz4490 I'm not saying that from a judging point of view , Eddie seems more interesting for one....I have to say tho , it's kind of hard to feel the sympathy for Frank thats in your comment.
It’s cuz he from New York
@@uploadvidz4490 Frank Lucas was a liar and fraud .
The fact that his kids are successful is a testament to who this man was
But look at the family he damage. So what good really came from it.
@@robertgray6310 facts
@@robertgray6310 he did what he had to do for him family. He has no control of what other people do. Just like the big business man. Most of destroyed alot of people to get on top. That applies to all big business. They dont get on top by being mr nice guy
"Our cousins live in that house there"!! Love it!!🥰🤣😅
...Throws bags of money out the window of a Rolls.......In the projects...It don't get no more Gangster than that....
That's where the term " Made it rain" came from.. 😁
Probably that kind of stuff that brought the wrong attention
The original making it rain! And they did that without having to do it in front of a camera and sharing it all over social media for clout and fame.
No its very dehumanizing
How is throwing money out the window gangster?
Eddie Jackson was a brilliant man, i understand what his plan was.
These men in another life would've been CEO's. The power and influence to control other dangerous criminals compared to managing employees would've been a cake walk.
Iceberg slim eh in some cases they’d still be managing dangerous criminals
Give this man a movie in honor of his legacy! Much respect , much respect to him and his crew
Honor , Respect - You're Fucking Crazy . Criminals Are Scumbags & Ruin The World . He Will Get His Legacy - In Hell . Is That Where You're Going Too ...... Is That Why You Are Trying To Turn The World Into Hell . Curse This Wicked Lying Criminal & Curse You Too .
Doing it without massive amounts of violence. Men of honor. Where did it all go wrong.
why he was a piece of shit, he killed his own people
@@glengarbera7367 what fucking Honor, honor to kill your people without telling ok each other WTF
It needs to be a movie. America is obsessed with gangster movies. Not saying it’s right, but if it’s ok to glorify Italian gangsters then why not show the black Kingpin?
THIS needs to be made into a movie by black writers and directed by a black director so it's integrity will be kept in tact.
100% correct
How so? If you want authenticity it should be made by street cats, preferably from Detroit. Why let a square put it together just because he's black.
@@ericwright5455 Because it's an issue of culture. Black people (whether square or not) understand the cultural aspects of the drug game in the black community. There are things that don't have to be spoken by black folk that's understood. Now for authenticity's sake yes, you'd be better off having someone with experience be an advisor.
@@BigJyeTV 🤣
What’s sad is that the OG’S are still in the struggle. Save young kids....live and learn
Man, this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I'm so happy I just found this channel.
Edit, I watched this whole thing from start to finish and somehow I didn't know about this until now. Its really amazing how nobody snitched out of 30 people. I've been around a little game in my past, nothing remotely on this level obviously, and luckily I knew when to call it quits. But I got to sit back and watch all my so called friends rat each other out just trying to save a little time. I'm not sure if this type of thing will ever be possible again in this day and age.
Me too shyt was Dope👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It won’t
The crazy part is people know it’s 3 things that can come out of selling drugs and that’s somebody gonna snitch, death or you going to jail long as there making money it’s cool, but soon as they get caught up mf’s get to singing like Patti LaBelle like Eddie Jr said in the documentary if you can’t do the time find a legit job the drug business is not for you 🤷🏾♂️
Never. No loyalty now and days everyone stabbing you in the back you cant have people like that around you.
Well John classen and his daughters and stepson. Treated me like family we lived almost directly across the street on parker ..he would pay me 25$ to shovel snow or rake leaves.when he moved into a certain mansion he told to come and without talking there about 3 million bucks stacked up and never mentioned again..he has always been my friend..I even copied his mustache
Eddie Jacksonand his crew was the best 2ever do it In da D baby🔥🔥🔥
It kinda looks that way 💯💯
You didn't hear about EJ & CO. because he didn't put his business on the street. The biggest thing of any business venture is treating everyone involved with the utmost respect and taking care of everyone. Greed and jealousy are the factors that destroy these empires, especially when it comes to "black" gangsters. This guy was a kingpin in every way you can fathom.
100% brother that is just fact
What? Even the media knew who he was, so it's not like he was a Frank Mathews type character. Frank was way more illusive, in fact, the police didn't know he was a drug kingpin nevermind news reporters etc.
I didn't realize until the end how nervous I was to hear the ending...I figured someone got killed; I'm relieved to know it didn't end that way.
"Never disrespect the customer." Exactly how dope boys in the Richmond VA projects operated back in early mid 90s
Eddie reminds me of az fazon. He helped out a lot of people an the person he helped most try to kill him I just don't get it .I used to sell h an I never burnt my people cause that's how I supported my habit I'm not ignorant loyalty is very rare now days
“We would take a key & make 9 keys..” damn what a get back!!
No snitches Real gangstas move in silence
Ight
These were men of a rare breed
@nigga ricans so wtf you call gangster
Notice how all the true hustla's come from the south and go up north and run shit we the real hustlas but Detroit new York and all these other places get the rep and we get called slow and country fuck that we know the real you niggas is soft and we take ova shit put some south in ya mouth like po pimp c said
@@dropndeuces82 You are right. The majority of blackmen are not scum
the original kennedy family money also came from underworld activities. this is not unusual.
Behind every fortune is a crime.That is an old saying and it is true.No other way.
Any sources??
@@Godzy111 its common knowledge. google joe kennedy and read his life story. he made a lot of money during prohibition.
Bootleggers
@@packrcch joe kennedy made money during the 1929 crash while everyone else was broke
Your videos are still holding up 3 years later, its crazy how far you've come.
Okay why was big Meech was in the title but not the documentary LOL
Facts lol
Only bec Meech and Southwest T are originally from detroit, that's where they first got in the game. Besides BMF have their own documentary thats pretty good too.
He wasmt in that era....he was compared to Eddie in his time..which he was
I like Eddie an his crew they were all about good business
Good business? Heroin is good business???
@@aaronflowers8881 keep the same energy for the Jews and Italians.
@@JacobStayViben Stop deflecting. Yall get on my nerves with that. Eddie's story is one of my favorites but don't act like what he was doing was right. I'm not worried about no other people but my own. That's the problem. Yall wanna justify negativity.
Normally don't liked stories like this but this one was excellent
Up and coming Artist! My shit is dope. Checkout my new track on Soundcloud soundcloud.com/careem-mcleod/still-troublesome-19-freestyle
What a fantastic doco. I can't help but respect Eddie. If only more people could adapt that kind of attitude we would definitely have safer streets.
What was the catalyst that changed. Was it crack, breakdown of the family, access to guns or violence on TV. Where did all go wrong
he's was a piece of shit, he sold drugs to his own people.
@@glengarbera7367 It was heroine that started the violence, but the creation of crack gave almost anybody the ability to sell drugs, back in the day, you may have a had 2 people or small groups with connections allowing everyone to pretty much be their own boss, too much competition because of that and everyone had a crew, bip bam bomb, violence happened 🤷🏽♂️
@@terrancemacklin417 I agree
@@glengarbera7367 zThe Devil is the catalyst that goes wrong when you are serving him. He created heroin addicts and that's a living HELL.

Lol facts dat man know his shit bout Detroit fasho much love n respect to Al 💯
Okay🤣🤣🤣
Wow!!!! watched a lot of your work and this is the most amazing in my opinion!1 hour 9 minutes long never bored never wanted it to end!!!! American Dope , Al you know what your doing big time bro....
We need more story like this standing tall is the only way RIP Eddie Jackson 💯🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟
Went on youtube expecting the usual shit, then notice new Al Profit video!
Things are looking up! Cheers Al
The work you put in is appreciated by people!
@poker108 it's not the drug dealers I like, it's al's videos I enjoy
I don't look at these guys as role models
They destroyed there own neighbourhoods for profit! Not something to be idolised in my opinion!
“Damn. He got all the hundreds in americaa” 😭
They definitely deserve a movie or series hands down…
Already in the works… Netflix !!!!
Yeah I'm waiting for it.
I remember all this in my days i was coming up im 63 years old i REMEMBER all this is my best life everyone help each other
Best Detroit drug dealer is the one you never heard about. Not the one "come flying around the corner in red convertible" while supposedly destitute. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
EDDIE JACKSON IS MOST DEFINITELY A “REAL” ONE!!!!! GODBLESS YOUR SOUL KING🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I am completely in awe of Detroit and it's sons it has produced all from watching your docs. Mad respect Al.
I like how Al remixes the title to his videos and gets me to watch the same video over again. Yo fool me every time lol. Nigga I seen this already 😂
Ikr still love it 😂😂
Hey, the documentary is one of the best, and easily the best specifically on Detroit's underworld history.
*the real m f deal, y'all*
😎☀️
Eddie Was The Notourious B.I.G. Of 1960s.and Early 70s.. I watch the whole thing.
Coutney Brown came to my job 4 years ago. I'm looking at this man like I know him from somewhere it didn't come to me until after he left that I saw him a documentary.
Good documentary... I love to hear from the actual players of the game
Why?
@@jacobiec47 why you asking why
More than a few of them are speaking on this doc.
What a fantastic story, these guys were the real deal - no brashness just down to earth people
Cheers from the Uk
All these guys were really true to the GAME!!!👍🏾
Eddie was a Gangster & Gentleman 💪🏾✊🏾
if your not busted by year 3 get out because sooner or later they coming for you. make your money and run but the money blinds even the smartest of big time dealers.

Tru Statement bro
@@sweetazzpiew8490 sure it is but ready when they come for you and all because your worker or top dude told on you. They dont break you they break those closest to you and that's a fact
I always said the same thing. I remember when I used to go to the heroin house there would be so many people there. They made thousands a week but was eventually caught. If I would get heavily into the game, I would save money then move away to a whole different place not even close to where I sell dope and live in peace and use that money to take care of myself until I find a legit job
I thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks for making it. They just don't make em like that anymore.
Big Ed and the crew! Real OGs! Definitely need a movie about these cats!
Amazing documentary! Hands down!!!. Real gangsters. Eddie was an amazing leader from the old school.
and a piece of shi killing his own people
Yes! I remember those days when you didn't have to keep your doors locked.
I’m a Detroit Claxton, I heard a lot of stories about my great Uncle.

30:00 How is that hat staying on his head 🤣🤣🤣
I rock my hat just like in the winter. Real og shit
Something I find interesting in these stories of older generation, very high level black drug dealers, when you see and hear their kids, extremely well educated and articulate. So different than what is practiced or seems to be practices now with younger generations seeking a better life.
Well told documentary. I love watching these.
Ms. Jackson a fine woman
ME TOO!
U fine as well
Damn, Ms. Jackson. You fine.
Real businessmen/gangsters, no snitches! 💯
There's only one Al Profit! Thanks for your documentaries. Your great at what you do and the people you get to interview speaks volumes to your credit.
This is the most fascinating thing!
It gives a different story. I appreciate how he wanted his kids to be successful and they were
But destroyed other people's children you sound ignorant 🙄
@@Facebook-sb3eo can't have the good with out the bad
A story about real, self-made men...I can dig it. #Detroitstandup
None of his crew snitched all the way down to his female.✊🏿✊🏿💪🏿💪🏿
The federal system had parole then and wasn't giving stupid #s.
I love how the old school black gangsters talked. 😆
