Damn.. this might be the most compelling interview to date for me. Big fella is very transparent and self-aware. He didn't embellish or glamorize his former lifestyle. He's not ashamed of his current one. He's smart.. yet very flawed. The product of a hustler upbringing. I'm pleased Mark is giving the world a peek into how many "street people" are birthed. Many don't choose their environment. Their environment chooses them. Those brief periods of silence were masterful on Marks part. I think HE needed a minute to process how this street smart, philosophical man could be on skid row smoking crack in weed. Most Black men won't show themselves this vulnerable. Great interview!!

The other half is what he wants people like you to believe. This guy is your average crack head who has been able to get by barely! You say he is so smart yet if he was even a little bit smart he wouldmt be doing this interview on skid row, wearing dusty ass clothes smoking a crack laced joint. Is he a product of his environment ??? Im sure he is and i dont blame his childhood on him. But as a grown ass 50 yr old man there is no excuse for how hes living.

If you're talking about blacks, it might be true that most of you have had trauma. It's institutionalized. But whites? No, cold reality is that the most of us didn't. Many pretend to because they think it's cool. I envied the "normal" kids in my fully white school for having a family, good income and little to no problems growing up.

[@TheCutiePatrol]

i can respect a crack dealer that is smoking his own product, its a vicious cycle of that world, at least its not some chump reaping off of others misery. a majority of crack dealers actually have easy lives, they create problems for themselves yet manage to stay clean around the crack and smack they push, they just destroy their neighbourhoods and blame it on the governments, yet here we have a user who has been in this underworld for a life time. i have no respect for these dopey kids complaining about "ops" and acting like they were forced into that life, no one is really forced to do anything. i have friends that became crack addicts, i have friends that got clean from heroin, i seen that world and the biggest complainers actually have it the easiest. this man isn't complaining, he's just living the life he knows. yet we have idiots like jay z who just pillaged their neighbours and never really give back, not from what the damaged they caused.

I think that the biggest takeaway from your videos is to never underestimate people (the old adage to never judge a book by its cover). This gentleman is an exceptionally wise, highly intelligent, survivor whose path was clearly chosen without his having any say. If I were to happen upon him either chillin or workin, even though I tend not to make assumptions, my mind might draw some knee jerk subconscious conclusions. Granted, as adults we do have the power of choice but it is often far more complex to accomplish society's expectations than it is to stay on the road that has furnished survival. I could easily spend hours digesting his stories and wisdom. There is no question, however, that he expels pain and loneliness with his every word. Yet another incredible, mentally nourishing, interview from SWU. Thank you!

Engaging interview. It's impressive how thoughtful, measured, and world-wise he is, considering his professsion. If only these attributes were used for good, to help people - instead of pushing a substance that destroys people's lives. We are a prodcut of our environment though, and it's tough to get out when it's the only life you know.

There definitely needs to be a follow up interview. I can relate to so much this guy said and he has some super deep views on life and people as a whole that really got to me. It’s funny that some of the people that others judge and consider to be bad people, are the most articulate and intelligent.
