That stood out to me as well, because if AZ was not truly a good dude at heart, the most high would not have sent his angel to help him. He said his spirit left his body 3 times. He was alowed to experience that to see what it is for real, thats why he said its deeper than you think.....

[@davidcrane4226]

Queen Elle if you actually read his book you’d be singing a different song. He doesn’t glorify any of this and he admits and regrets he sold poison to his community. He found God and is an advocate for steering youths in the right direction and to stay AWAY from hustling. He learned to hate what he once loved. So try to know more about a person before you end up judging them.

Maybe if he was the only one that got shot he wouldn't of said anything but that's neither here nor there & I still see this dude as a respectable man.

Az wasn’t a street guy he was a hustler from the streets it’s a difference that man ain’t no snitch 💯

[@Jf_1900]

@Thias176 makes a lot of sense

[@cv1368]

Huh? U sound dumb

[@Jf_1900]

@Thias176 look I obviously don't know the guy, but from this, man wasn't on some cruel stab any one in the back thing he was just tryna make moneys so hes more a hustle than a street thug

[@CrazyCrystalChronicles]

Hustlers ain’t necessarily killers! That’s why they have hitters on their team! This man clearly just wanted to make his money and stay out the way! I grew up on 141 between 7th and Lenox and everyone knew the killers from the scramblers! Who ran the block and who ran the errands! Everyone ain’t killers...

June Mclane REAL... He had no business getting shotbup or robbed... Nobody ever has any business getting robbed... It mess up the whole game... Killing Robbing Hating Set-ups Snitching Jealousy Envy and to much FLEXIN AND SHOWOFF KILLED THE GAME all

[@tuntunwarrior8000]

Azie knows that his life would have been so much simpler and safer if he'd have never got into the drug game. He lost friends and family members to the game and was inches away from losing his own life. "I wish I'd have never got fired from the cleaners"💯💯💯

[@noeyb976]

"Anything you would have asked me for I would have gave it to you, so there was no reason for that" Crazy!!

[@ZipBrehh]

Everyone says that when they get robbed for something but I bet my life that 75 percent of niggas would say no if the robbers asked first instead of taking it. But I honestly know that AZ would of gave it to him.

[@chickeNblood]

Wow, so Rich died fighting a grimey ass while trying to find his lil brother not knowing that hes already dead. Rip.

[@courtneyjohnson1057]

He wasnt dead yet

[@Surrf1002]

Basically

[@ILLiteSociety]

wicked man....very wicked

[@Makaylah13]

This is a fucking lie. Rich killed a rival dealer, which caused his brother to get kidnapped in retaliation. He didnt move his family out the hood. Dude had a ton of cars and didnt drive his brother to school. His brother got kidnapped WALKING to school. The kidnappers called him and he hung up on them. The kidnappers gave a ransom and he refused to pay it, instead haggling the cost of the ransom the way you haggle the price of a car. His money was worth more than his brothers life. You flossing but refuse to pay your brothers ransom smh.

[@staciepickett6199]

Thank you Vlad. You take on the interviews that no one else is doing. I appreciate the education these brothers give us with their life experiences. And you're appreciated as well for allowing them to do so.

[@KeedThaHeater]

Vlad sounds more like an INVESTIGATOR than a JOURNALIST.

[@flexmaster5446]

But to a certain degree i think thats what makes Vlad interviews work, he goes in like a detective instead of just asking the fluff thats not interesting and we heard a million time.

[@KeedThaHeater]

Not really like that. He sounds like a kids from the suburbs who's oblivious to codes.

[@scarecrow2811]

+Keed ThaHeater I think he asks the questions that way like he's oblivious because that prompts the interviewees to answer the question with more detail so viewers like us can have a good understanding. Because Vlad will ask a question that you know he knows the answer to. Just an opinion. Peace.

Yaasssss! I would love to see this in a series. God! For some reason I thought about this story while watching the Wu Tang Clan series & decided to look this up since it was based in NY. Didn't even realize it was a true story .... crazy smh

[@llw53one]

SMithWay Co. Exactly! The story A presented to them was called “Trapped”, it was about what he went through and Rich and Po and how A turned his life around and made it out of the game he started rapping making music with him and Gangsta Lou. You gotta listen to the Alpo interview and the FBI interview about Wayne Perry. The Alpo movie will be crazy (idk if it’s safe for Po to do that movie)

[@warrenlondon2426]

FYI - He’s not snitching. The statue of limitations are up, so legally he or anybody else involved can’t be charged for it anymore.

[@BlackRoyalty_]

Warren London Technically he did snitch when he spoke to the DEA and gave his sister's boyfriend up. If you a street cat in the drug game then you do no talking at all. You're supposed to either get your lick back or leave it alone altogether. He actually gave up valuable information to the DEA and doesn't think that's odd to people. Him saying he's not a snitch but telling a story about how he was answering every question in a conscious state of mind makes me doubt him on what he's saying. It's something strange with that contradiction. Idk.

[@izzylozada3000]

eyeamblackroyalty To him it’s wasn’t about snitching tho he ain’t sell out no one in his circle or any customers he just sold out the nigga who tried to take his life and killed his aunt and other family members for nothing I can see where he came from because had he handled it himself it would’ve came back on him cops would’ve been suspicious & at the same time he was leaving the game

[@PurpleWizrd2712]

Izzy Lozada he not snitching at all.

[@highkey_steeze]

I wouldn’t call that snitching dude was tryna make sure the game stayed clean and EVERYONE ate. The nigga came home feeling bitter and did some fucked up shit that was NOT apart of the game. It turned from business to personal shit with civilians NOT people in the game, not his soldiers. That shit different idc.
