Azie Faison on the Life & Death of Alpo, Rich Porter & the Real Paid in Full Story (Full Interview)

Azie Faison returned to VladTV five years after his classic interview with DJ Vlad. He began by revisiting his upbringing in 1960s and 1970s New York, revealing his mother had five children by the time she was 20 years old. Faison talked about Rich Porter selling heroin at the age of 12 and dropping out of high school, while he struggled to make ends meet working a 9-5 at a cleaners. He remembered "Scarface" changing people's perception of cocaine before he started selling the drug. He recalled making up to $50,000 per day selling crack and working with Alpo Martinez while Rich Porter was locked up. After Porter's release, the three would begin to work together. Throughout the remainder of the interview, Azie Faison detailed his experiences with Alpo, who was murdered earlier in 2021. To hear more, check out the full interview above.

I’ll never get tired of hearing Azie tell his story

[@BoricuaNyc]

I'm tired of hearing this story mainly because of Donnell Porter part. And especially on Azie lying about it. Rich Porter let his little brother bleed out a whole month including Christmas and New year's day. Alpo was a beast in these streets but Alpo was out of town during the kidnapping. Azie glorying Rich because Rich was his brother-in-law. Saddest part is the same people Rich Porter used to kill his best friend (Shawn Moe) little brother who was 14........ are the same people who killed his little brother Donnell Porter who was 12. RIP 🙏🏽 DONNELL 💐 PORTER ❤️

Like he said look at what happen to them It’s demonic Po killing rich and a 100 more people for no reason at all. And Darnell getting kidnapped and then murdered as a child for no reason. I wouldn’t want to relive that either. When I was living in that era I couldn’t stand it, I use to walk past all the drug dealers and I couldn’t smile. I couldn’t believe this was our life so I knew I had to do something Soon as I could work I did and then I decide to move in with my grand mother and I went to a different high school. I thought I was getting away from that life but it wasn’t that different it just wasn’t in your face like it was where my mom lived at. But it was still a better life change I see some of those dudes when I’m out and about and they look terrible or some still in prison or dead. It’s very sad what most of us black people had to witness growing up. Salute to Mr. Azie for making it out and still the one alive and not in prison to tell the story.

I grew up on the Eastside of Milwaukee and I feel where AZ coming from. I hustled fo' a minute until it got hot and jumped out da game. I had homies that kept it pumpin even after houses got raided. It's like a addiction you can't stop after a while until somebody stop it for you. Long story short I'm 44 years old now our clique was 4 deep. One died in prison in St. Louis, one crippled wit one leg, one did 17 years (remained silent though) got out in 2017 and died of a heart attack in 2020. I'm the last one left. IT AINT WORTH IT.

[@Keepdapocket]

I knew one dude that won in the game! We came out the sandbox together. Hung until we were about 16. He started in the game. Small time. Nickel and dime bag weed. We didn’t hang a lot after that, but of course, was always cool. Mo went off to college, and homeboy graduated in up to everything else. Making dookie dollars. However, he stacked and stacked. During the day time, he took up trade school. Got certified as an electrician. Got a god job, got out the game, and used the drug money for a beautiful house, motorcycle, and clothes. I’m my area, he is the ONLY one I knew that did it for the reason it’s supposed to be done; which is get money mom the low, and get the hell out to the plan you originally have! He never got hemmed up! Avoided beef. Never did a hand to hand exchange. Got our clean on all fronts

Now I know why Azie made it out alive....he's intelligent!!! Extremely smart man with common sense. And what an interview! Whew! Way better than the movie.

[@jaygaston1719]

Lots of luck along the way too. He could have died when he was shot 9 times, Alpo may have come for him after killing Rich, Jesus squashed a hit on him and Bishop Bulwinkle almost got him. Maaan I can listen to his story for days on end.

Im all the way in the UK, watched and listened to his last interview, what a life this guy has had! And what a turnaround he has done. At the very end of his first vlad interview, being somewhat from the streets and having th mindset myself somewhat, I'm so glad and touched the words he used to end that interview....... ...and hats off to Azie, he's ended this interview as a real stand up man. After all he's witnessed with Alpo, only a real, reformed man would end with those words. Respect brother

[@CashmereRose_]

Azie dropped nothing but GEMS !!!! it’s up to you if choose to pick them shits up !!! This is the realest, and rawest interview ever. This man took nothing but accountability for his actions and even when he was “doing wrong” he still had a conscience and moved with integrity and that’s why the higher power saved his life !!!! Azie is definitely right there’s always something beyond the surface!!! I’m wishing him nothing but the best !!! Hearing about donnell and how he was only 12 years old I can’t even imagine what was going on through his mind at that time, that shit really broke my heart! And for them to tape him pleading for his life is SICK !!! RIP to donnell lord I hope his spirit find some type of peace!!! 💙💙💙

One of my older residents told me how she used to cut school to go to Harlem back in the day to buy heroin out of the arcade games &shoot up in her foot 😮😮 her feet were swollen & all jacked up from years of drug use & she was mainly wheelchair bound until she passed 😢

[@iconicvi]

This is better than the movie and documentaries! This is like a play by play real life depiction of what happened in Az's life. You could tell the sadness and pain in Azie's eyes as he tells the story. I was moved by this. Big salute to AZ.

[@jroccdagameboy]

I’ve always said the real stories is wayyy more entertaining than the movie. Just this interview alone was better. But getting into the stories of Alpo being in DC and the people he ran into there like Earsdachrist and listening to his stories. It’s just super deep when you really do a deep dive into all of this. I got a whole playlist on here of all the stories/interviews just to show people how deep it gets that didn’t know all of this stuff from Paid in Full was real.

Azie trying to blame Alpo for interfering with Donnel Porter kidnapping but the police report and kidnapping date doesn't add up. I hope I see Azie in Harlem to question him why Rich Porter will leave Donnell Porter bleeding a whole month including Christmas and New year's day to give Alpo bricks 🤔 doesn't add up.

I think what Azie went through is a teachable lesson. I know dudes who weren't fit who would be alive today if they had a dude like Azie step up and give em game. We all are sinning, especially if we follow the laws of this land. Be grateful it's someone out here dispelling the false myths that shows like Miami Vice and Power leave on the minds of our young people. Someone who lost a lot more than we ever have and gained nothing. As Black people, we need every Blessing we can get cause Lord knows everyone is out to destroy us, even us.
