Lil D on Becoming Crack King, Getting 35 Years, Obama Clemency (Full Interview)

[@therealmssparkle1729]

Darryl Lil' D' Reed's story brought me to tears at the end. His story would make an excellent movie. WOW! I couldn't even imagine doing all that time. I thought I was going to die after doing three months. Thank God for his Grace and Mercy! We all fall down from time to time...it's getting UP and learning from your experience that makes you NOT only a better person, but a TRUE SURVIVOR! Be Blessed Lil D!

[@Real_Iceout]

Amen

It's all designed to destroy the brain. From the colors used to the design of the prison are cell. You got to be mentally strong. Go to school, read books and try to stay involved in positive constructive activities and conversations to strengthen the mind from degenerating and get released the same person are worse. It's a tricky game of fighting becoming institutionalized

Put a big smile on my face when saying his goodbyes !!! Thanks for the advice lil d

[@CMOVlogs]

I like this dude never before in my life heard about him, but i could listen to him for hours. Very knowledgeable for sure and really interesting story to tell.

[@jkmsr3869]

The whole interview, real talk this man does not have the lying home most ppl do he's strait up

[@the1truth517]

I've never heard of this man but he's such a stand-up human being, not for what he did to go to prison or for going to prison. He's an amazing person for the growth he's had and his viewpoints on life and the way he talks about it that's all about telling kids what WILL happen to you instead of using it as his own time to shine. This entire interview, he's just a good man and I love the random smiles he does when Vlad is or isn't talking because it shows that he still has joy. Even when he talks about himself, it's not about drugs, it's about how he was able to develop a strong business mindset at an early age which I think can help other kids but in a positive direction.

[@lnapjr76]

When I watch these drug dealer interviews, it reminds me of when I was a kid...maybe about 13 or 14 and KRS1 dropped "Love's Gonna Get You." Growing up in New Orleans with all kinds of drug dealing going on, that song laid it all out for me clearly. Hearing these dudes 30 years later, saying it never ends well, and that it's not worth it, I thank KRS1 for making it clear to me as a kid. Music is powerful. It can build or destroy.

[@bobbydavis2985]

Love that song its the truth!

[@michaelcooke8989]

[@shelliegordon8990]

I'm from Detroit and knew all about the white boy Rick situation. I knew a lot of dudes and females in my hood who hung around and where part of YBI. I chose a different path in life. Lil D its because he is WHITE BOY RICK. Not black boy Lil D. They look at it as "our" story not being unique. They have the mindset that we are all criminals in their eyes. That's why there is no televised story....well most of them that used to be on America's Most Wanted or American Justice. Its a vicious cycle. But Im glad you are out. You seem to be such a nice person with a heart of gold.
