Flashback: Azie Faison Tells the Real 'Paid In Full' Story (Full Interview)

Back in 2016, Azie Faison sits on the Vlad Couch to discuss his relationship with Alpo and Rich Porter, the death of Rich, and the accuracy of the life depicted in the Roc-A-Fella films produced classic Paid in Full. He also reveals being the founder of the underground hip-hop group MobStyle.
Faison admits that he dropped out of school in the ninth grade and began working at a neighborhood dry cleaners. Azie explains his success and the wealth that came with it.
He concludes the interview by absolving himself of the persona that had been attached to his name.

Today I honestly believe Alpo killed Rich for those 30 bricks 🧱 and not the bs excuse he gives abt undercutting him on a deal.

[@JordanWilliams-ix2td]

How? Alpo didn't need those bricks like that b/c he was making BANK in D.C.. Alpo asked him twice about where he got the drugs from Right after he gave Rich 100,000 to get his brother & he lied. Alpo said if he's willing to let this little money come between them what else can he do? That's why Rich was killed. I think it was out of pure "you're disloyal. I just tried to help you get your brother & you lie to me? " which is so ironic for Alpo. Not over bricks.

If he didn’t need the bricks the free bricks that he now had that he was sent to get for the ransom those bricks weren’t for Alpo he went to the connect bc Azie was laid up so now he’s deeper into the crew other than the enforcer and soldier..now this ni99a asking questions?? Why would you be asking a connect how much Rich getting these for??? It’s of no business of yours unless you got other plans so therefore then wtf did he do w them??? He took them to DC he didn’t sell shit to come up w the 500K needed to bring home the brother of a brother he so called love.. he didn’t sell them and give the money 💴 to the family to see if they were straight He didn’t give that shit to Azie. When that nigga started talking abt the deal that Wayne Perry got wind of while incarcerated ya know the one Big Head Gary allegedly spoke abt?? Alpo, he specifically stated he had 1.5-2million I noticed his ass was hesitating bc he remembered stating he said the 30bricks Rich had was roughly around 1-2milly..get it?? Alpo was doing ppl in DC like what he did to Big Head Gary bc he knew the stash, pay attention to what mofo’s say rather than what you wanna hear..you might find truth there. He gets close to you befriends you creates a sense of Loyalty and trust..finds the connects, knows your stash, let’s you set up deals then kills you he makes off w the dope why???

Getting that paper from the black community to support the war and also setting up the black community heavy for years to come and still now. The black community decimated how much torment, how many deaths lives destroyed black community and direction of the youth destroyed still until this day. The exact thing they are doing with todays music. I cant even call that hip hop. This is beyond deep! Thats why its called the trap!

[@alwaysreliable3]

@@TavaraTheLaughingLion Next. Tavara do you live in Harlem? Ever live in Harlem? Do you know that is only 45 blocks long, ten blocks wide? But it is bigger than Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis? Azie is NOT teaching anything. What school? What podcast? KZbin channel. What he is doing is trying to sell his book or his movie script. Because he was really about "redeeming himself," he would volunteer at a school and teach.Tour the school system speaking to kids? He would start a not for profit? Has he done ANY of these things? NO. What he is doing is going on social media platforms to push his "story" from 30 years ago, and his hopes to still make a movie. That is not redemption. Have you seen Harlem lately? Gentrified. What did Azie have to do with that? Nothing. He helped create the environment where it could happen. THAT is "what I take out of this."

[@jadenicee]

[@neesha918]

Po wanted him because he knew that Azie felt he kilt rich before he finally confessed. Also because he wanted to be the one, with his self absord entitlement ass. That saying trust no one is very true indeed but sad at the same damn time

[@DizzyDaDon]

@@neesha918 Dope game is a very dangerous game. Lucrative but extremely dangerous. Risk/reward doesn't seem to weigh out equally. That's why Azie made his money & dipped. Ain't no longevity in that line of work. You make what u can , save up yo bread & invest. But the dope game isn't meant to b a forever thing.

[@DizzyDaDon]

@@neesha918 but yea, Azie was well aware that Po killed Rich even before news broke. Just a hustlers intuition. Po knew so he wanted to cut all loose ends & ultimately take all of Azies money & dope as well as take his life. Ain't no love, honor or morals out there in the dope game. It's a vicious game.

[@themisfitta6723]

No disrespect but I'm so tired of hearing that conspiracy about "Vlad working for the feds".Don't get me wrong,he could be but if the only evidence is the fact that he wants to clarify slang words or the fact that artists come on his platform(willfully)and say to much,the conspiracy holds no weight(no pun intended).IT'S A BLOG!!HE INTERVIEWS ARTISTS THAT HAVE BACKGROUNDS THAT INTERESTING TO HIS VIEWERS. I,too understand why people think this but IMO,they're reaching.
