[DemonProd333]

[flamezide]

DAM... this song give chills...AZ a g

[fdgrtrt]

Timmons was sent to prison in 1977 for attacking an 82-year-old woman, and Bolden went to prison the same year for an unrelated crime. Both were released in 1987, and on Aug. 21 of that year they teamed up with a third man to rip off drugs and money from an apartment on the Grand Concourse.

Bell and survivors Michael LaMar and Azie Faison took the stand in 1989 and recounted in chilling detail the viciousness of the crime

[prettyhard731]

@fdgrtrt from what i heard the 3rd man was this dude named rondu, an old timer from the bronx. my mans and them was with him up in clinton in the late 90's. he was tryin to beat 4 bodies they had on him. so what ur saying is that azie is a snitch?

[herbertrosa]

I remember this, never forgot it. The original AZ.

His boy in the video had the Northface coat on early! N*ggaz didn't even know about this back in 80's.

That coat started to be glorified/commercialized when "A Tribe Called Quest" did that video "we got the jazz" then the coat was seen in Redman's snippet video "Hardcore" and the "Tonites the night" video.

The Northface coat was officially embraced in the hip-hop community from AZ's video!

[prettyhard731]

@herbertrosa im thinkin the northface came out like in '92,'93. mad puertoricans use to rock it back then and alotta uptown heads too. i also think in a kurious jorge video i see mad dudes wearing it.

[SDSOverfiend]

This had to be the hardest record i ever heard. As youngin when heard this record it felt too real and i didnt know the backstory.

It's not commercial Hip-Hop, its "Spoken-Word" style, Hip-Hop, and the word is true. I was there. Not a Hustler, just lived across the Street @ 733 St. Nick & 146. I was only there 2 years. He went from being a Dry Cleaning Press-man, to a Mercedes Benz Sports Model in months! Peace to Azie (Jr). Pie, Boogaloo, Blue (RIP), Baby Russ, Stanley, Paris, Craig (RIP) Fat Richard (RIP) Drago, Mousey, Gusto, Jamaican Jack, Rico, Ms Harriet (RIP) Mr. B (RIP) Mr. Jimmy (RIP) Mr. Stokes (RIP). AY-YAY-YO

[reignman562]

Foreals?Man,Too Bad Hip Hop Cant Be Like This Any more.They Just Rap About Girls,Money,And Cars Now These Days.

[harlem146st]

who is this?

[uzipolo]

@harlem146st-mobstyle was a rap group from harlem who specializied in raping real street shit in a great story telling hard gritty manner the group is az pretty tone whip wop gangsta lou the most world renound tape was game of death which has made millions on the bootleg circuit az story (the man rapping in the video) was told many times in documentaries and most notably in the movie Paid In Full thier type of music was too hard for the radio but niggaz knew real says uzipolo-king of decatur

[harlem146st]

Uzipolo you seem to know alot but if you look at my name you would know I'm from 146st. Same block as A... Also was in Game over part 1. But I there was a comment right before mine that I replied to and I was asking who they were. The removed the comment though.... But I have to ask how do you know so much about this?

[GfromNyc]

classic material watch i promis real hip hop is genna com back

[1lifestyle]

no its not it gone forever,just rap now

[1lifestyle]

anyone know where i can get this tape

[mikeygeneral]

No- he was already locked up for Rich's murder. But to give you a mental picture - He looked exactly like Cam'ron. Almost could pass for brothers. He was panamanian but looked like a regular black dude.

[mikeygeneral]

NO- Alpo is panamainian. Not peurto rican.

[soundofrevenge21]

NO he's not!!! Watch the documentary and listen to his phone interview. I'm from Harlem I know!!! Stop listening to that Paid In Full shit!!!!

[1lifestyle]

yeah paid in full was all false on alpo

[uzipolo]

that lame ass movie dame made was so untrue and he should have been ashamed of himself for making it discraced to harlem and its ALSO a shame because dame SURLY had the research, the people and the MONEY to make a WAY BETTER movie if he wanted to half ass on it he should have made a documentary like he did on nicky barnes which wasnt that great dame has eyes on good street shit but just doesnt pull it off the BEST movie he made so far is WEAPONS starring nick cannon says uzipolo-king of decatur

[Wavy212]

He is not panamainian!!! Niggas need to stop saying that shit!!! Stop lisining to that paid in full movie shit when N.O.R.E said that shit. He is PUERTO RICAN!!!

[BigPreme]

@Wavy212 correction wavy,

NEW YORICAN!!!!

[HarlemzMostHated]

@Wavy212 PO WAS DOMINICAN AND SOME OTHER SHIT, NOT LIKE I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT SNITCH...BUT YEAH

[sebsdberbbbbjgb]

@HarlemzMostHated po was puerto rican

[L2thaface]

yo az didnt rap wit Alpo or Rich, he pumped wit those cats. For real, this rap shit was him trying to get away from hustling. Got nothing to do wit rich or po. This is AZ and mobstyle was a few other cats that mighta hustled as well, but they wasnt them two.

[ilsapproach]

the "sample" is Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes "You Know How To Make Me Feel So Good"

[ilsapproach]

damn!!! remember this joint...much props to video music box...real talk this joint would bring tears to ya eyes..thats real!!!

[mikeygeneral]

this beat was made on the Ensoniq ASR10. Azie was the first rapper to use this Isaac Hayes sample. Mobbstyle was their actual crew's name. It consisted of Alpo,Rich Porter and Azie. Truth of the matter was that Rich Porter was silently robbing Alpo of his share of drug money and Alpo found out and killed him. Azie only shouted Rich out becouse he was closer to Rich than Alpo. But hey,That's the world of drugs. I don't respect none of em. That drug shit's poison yo!

[checkie946]

read Azie books and find out y ALPO killed rich.. what happen in paid n full was not the real shit..that happen in real life..lol

[mikeygeneral]

I know very much well alpo killed Rich. I just said it and Wayne played a big part in it too - I know whats up. I probably knew before you did.

[uzipolo]

wow i didnt know about THAT KILLING i knew the movie was bullshit thou and the 2 DOCEMENTARIES werent that much better eithier i LIKEE the MOBSTYLE DVD tho because at least they showed the mobstyle GROUP MEMBER whip wop pretty tone capone az gangsta lou but yeah,, tahst a trip rich was steealing money hmmm-says uzipolo-king of decatur

[StoicTwo]

[1tampa1]

The fact he can't rap that well makes it even realer my man, MOB STYLE were among the very first drug dealers to buy their equipment and rap. He may not be the best but the story he is telling is more real than anything you hear today or even back then.

[KangK]
