@MrPrettyjimmy true .... they like to flex too much wich allways leads to theyre downfall . B.M.F from atlanta is an example ... if only they were more structured, low key and quiet like the mob they would go far in the criminal underworld .... but its just theyre nature of having nothing to coming up and having everything soo fast ... they go out of control
I see people saying he did good for community bcus he brought fireworks!!!! LMAO Did u see the part where he brought CRACK?? to many zombies n here, followers , if had the chance he'd try to sell crack to ur mom, but u stil love em though.
damn i see how many people idolize this lifestyle and this sorry @ss dude. If you have to have $ to b the man, then u really ain't the man! When he don't have sh1t he'll be labled a has been. Dude wanted people to envy him like some of yall doin bcus inside he don't love himself. He wants all that attention well he got, even from police and fellow inmates
Let's erect a statute of this motherfucker. Everybody sucking on his dick like he was the second coming. He was a drug dealer............a fucking drug dealer. Niggas are fucked up with that hero worship. This is why are communities are unsafe and fucked. I'm glad I didn't live around none of you fuckers. Killing and snitching on each other...and for what? I love my people, I don't wanna hurt my people. Peace.....if you know what the fuck it means.
Since when is snitching excepted in this world! Your saying that lethal injection is what caused him to become a rat!so, you mean to tell me that after a life of serious crimes, he expected to get like 5 years! Lol!
CRACKHEAD LIKE WE GONG ASK HIM 4 MONEY THEY HE BLEW A WHOLE BAG O' SHIT IN THE SMOKE HE JUST DISAPPEARED LIKE MIKE JACK LOOL... MUST'VE BEEN HIGH AS A MOF...
Free energy technology exists!But some very powerfull ppl don't want you and me to be free from energy costs,Get the blueprints for a free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the energy revolution!
lmao I know alpo was getting it like crazy but cmon now New York niggas be lying this nigga said Alpo did a 20 block wheely lol get the fuck outta here
lol this made me kinda upset, because everyone loses in the end, EVERYONE
look at the niggas they interviewing, did anyone notice the fact thhat all of the dudes who were "living large" look very average now, they put all of their time into that bs, and whole time they werent saving the money or making investments or tryna send a kid to college. no one wins.why kill one another over money that wont be yours in the end.
A regular Nino Brown huh...a real fucking hero. It never cease to amaze me how the people in the neighborhood idolize the main folks who make their neighborhoods the slums and unsafe for their kids to play in
I Dotn call it glorification. If you've ever been in the game and grown up around someone who really put it down. that shit is just exciting... especially if you really close to the person. It seems like they are glorifying it because they are re living the memory and all the excitement that they went through at the time is evident.
cocain wasnt killing black people so the govt. stepted it up with crack not only black people who was selling it would go to jail but the users would die from it slow an they also made it much more addictive now tell me they not tryin to kill your black asses..shalom
damn harlem was the shit i was 13 gettin money on 28th street downtown we use to go re-up bway then hit nuke on 112-113 see this nigga up in down 7ave tearin up
@5tickupKidd you can say you puerto rican if you mixed wit it but most people go by what they look like the most or if you know the language or ever been there ,like iam black n panamanian i know spanish and i been to panama so i can say iam panamanian.
That don't make sense. Here's an example. What if your're born in India by black and spanish parents, and you've never been to any other country besides India; you don't know the native language, only english and spanish. What does that make you?
All I know is that you can't choose what you want. You're either mixed or not.
pretty much yo cause black is plane ,if you mixed black and white and you look black like obama then you cant really just say you white,but if you black rican and just say you rican and never been there or know spanish how that look.jamaicans dont consider american born jamaicans jamaican inless both parents are from there and they been there.
Why at 4:08 it sound like all this bitch got was a trip to NY?she sound like some dumd southern ho,meanwhile all these other bitches were getting jewelry,cars,money Damn thats f*cked up!!!
We can't control how the INTERVIEWEE's saw the situation first hand. The thing is many people GLORIFY & REJOICE in seeing someone that resembles them & there people, who has reached levels of financial & status success. They don't necessarily glorify the means by which they achieved success, they simply GLORIFY the individual DESPITE the means. It is the AMERICAN way.
This being a documentary it could have taken on many forms and still have been factual. Although thee intent is to discourage. This is a sub-culture stigma that is still present. I would dare to guess most juveniles and adolescent viewers will rather mimic his accomplishments of being a dealer with all the wears than refrain from being one. So whom ever made this for whatever their intent might have been; I'm sure most kids in the "hood" would choose the latter. So the message is lost.
@RevolutionaryINK So true so true....from 8th Ave to Wall St...Americans love cats that make that money..no matter who suffers...as long as it ain't you that's suffering...or so we think.
Now don't get my wrong. I don't condone the glorification either, but I can understand the mind-state of those that tend to glorify these types of situations.
But I Don't condone the MEANS at all, that is why I put my own title n the documentary , "Street Dreams/Harsh Reality" Emphasizing the HARSH Consequences of such activity and showing that the story NEVER has a happy ending.
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING Yea...now Alpo has alot of time in his 4x4 of a jail cell to reminisce on his days of glory. Not to mention that he has nothing to show for it but a bunch of ex-cons and old fiends glorifying him on camera
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING thats the thing they glorify these guys for basically all the documentary. how they were the freshest niqqaz they had bags of doe, they had they latest cars. any niqqa watching dis doc will think this is the life they wont care about the ending cos they will be thinking bout now and how they can be treated like gods. thats why so many kids wanna be gangstas cos of docs like dis and people like this n films like scarface. every muthafucka wanz to blow up n b that niqqa
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING u soind like a bitch. thats da way it is dont question what you dont understand hundreds of ppl in da street came out to c dis cat ,RAW ,CHARISMATIC ADRENALINE UNTAMED WILDNESS shiiit no matter hu u r n what you do if you got dat you'll be glorified .y u think hitler was hitler n i aint blonded haired n blue eyed, it is wat it is, i het your the soft type obey the rules to scared to take a stand speak out express urself ,aint got 1 bit of what he had haterrrr haterrrr sukadik
No.I am not afraid to take a stand.It's clear to you that I stand against any one bringing harm into any community, isn't it? A lot of people take stances but the question is what do you stand for? Yes.I try my best to b law abiding.In cases where a law/laws don't make sense I recognize it.And make a mental note of it.This is 1 acct of a Young man in the 80's.Who recognizes that he mad mistakes in the past.My question to you is why are you celebrating a life style that he regrets?
@RevolutionaryINK ummm its showin yung niggas the mistake he made so they wont do it but everything else is exspireing they can still do it just gotta invest and fall back moral of the story!
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING I understand what you're saying, but when people are economically and socially oppressed, they look to those who are prosperous in their communities. It should not be that way, but it is. There is plenty of hypocrisy to go around though. Why do people glorify Reagan despite the fact that he was a criminal?
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING he is being glorified for the energy he brought to harlem (not the bad things he did) and from what I hear he was a good dude, he brought fireworks for the kids, looked out for niggas, etc.
He brought drug energy to the Family's in Harlem.He brought Violent energy to the kids in Harlem.That's not a good dude.A good dude sets a positive example for his family & the kids in a community by serving as a protector and nourisher for his block.All I mean that that is..Don't conduct your self in a way that will bring harm to you nor the family's around you.
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING Why do movies glorify George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Jessie James, John Dillinger, etc, etc... They were all either murders, slave owners, crooks and/or thieves, but movies have been made about them as well. Your comment is a typical American hypocritical statement; i.e. that black is always bad, white is always good mentality. I feel sorry for you. Just take the movie for what it is, a documentary on three guys life.
If this was a documentary on John Dillinger and he was being praised then my comment would be the same.You should have asked me my personal opinion on those people and built on my response.In an attempt to make a good point you missed your mark.Any person whom earned/earns a living by harming others should not be glorified on any medium.
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING shiit i aint even watch da whole ting ,stil aint, b4 i replyd to ur bitch ass, dus cats buyin da WHOLE BLOK FOOD EVERY YR, INSPIRED PPL 2 DO GD WHETHER HE WAS OR NOT, LIT UP DA WHOLE BLOK WITH FIRE WORKS, BLU UP A UNKNOWN STORE. SHIT thats y badboys get glorified coz punks aint got luv like dat. no "royal families" not presidents. but this GANGSTA GOT LUV LIKE DAT. feedin his ppl n u ask y is he being glorified and this main part aint even about MURDER!! U'Z A BIITCH
You are the type of person that doesn't learn from other peoples mistakes.No matter what facts are presented to you concerning the out come/ Consequences of certain life styles and actions.You will still find a way to walk that same road and suffer the same consequences that have been brought to your attention.Wise up.
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING im quite wise but thats just who i am, am too raw for this foney balloney 9-5 bullshit n da ppl hu run it are nothing but gangsters themselves what am saying is he has done fuck da snitching b kiling hes done more positive then ppl hu sugar coat the world to their kids "like hey look hunny its da president" he fed his neighbours entertained the youth with fireworks, thats something to respect. evn bmf did good. coz they care governments CARE-about their money
alpo was was a small time dealer....he was just flashy and always all the flashy cats get caught because attention comes there way....the loud ones always get caught......i can tell you this video is a farce he didnt take over the town...dudes in dc are stone killers and back then there were a many .......all this talk is glorying drug dealing this a big sick farce....don't feel sorry for wayyne dude was a sick serial killer and he should have gotten the chair
he was in DC alpo met lil pop then alpo met wayne and what happen next he set up lil pop and snitch on wayne and killed rich. Then after he killed rich the dude that help him out gary he killed him alpo was seen in charlotte nc with his sons mother
This fag killed my uncle and snitched on the whole game... i will say that b4 that he was a real nigga that the whole hood looked up too and im from brooklyn and we was hearing stories about this nigga
yous a halfway ass nigga. Nigga wasnt snitching when he was selling all that shit, fucking up neighborhoods and familys. So dont snitch when your ass get caught and gotta pay for it. He probaly killed a whole bunch of niggas for snitching to the cops, but then when he get caught. He start working for the po's and turn snitch hisself? what kinda faggot ass shit is that
u just made my point about all yall pro black ppl thinking yall smart and everybody else being stupid. u act like u the only person who know what etymology mean. 2nd i never asked u about numerology u doin the same thing chyna doll did telling me about stuff i never asked about. it make yall look stupid. is just like a broke nigga gettin money 1st thing he wanna do is brag.a dumb person find out something he wanna tell everybody like he smart. Now how did the origin of the word change? plz tell
that dude u r talking about thats scary is one of the true pioneers of hiphop . that scary dude name is busy bee he battle kool mo dee the first rap battle to ever set the tone for rap battles and hiphop but u a youngiee you dont know nothing about that my youngster. u just been school my lil young nigga
Why is the alpo story on here and not the original game over? GET IT RIGHT AZ STARTED THIS SHIT INCLUDING THAT CLOWN ALPO IF IT WASN'T FOR A THERE WOULD BE NO PO AND FOR THE RECORD HE DIDN'T START MAKING ALL THAT CASH UNTIL HE WENT TO DC HE WAS NOT FEARED IN NY OR HARLEM KNOCK IT OFF REAL NIGGAS KNOW THE HALF
THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. WHAT PART OF HE LOOKED BLACK EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WAS BLACK BUT HE WASENT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND. SHE CLEARLY SAID THIS IN THE VIDEO. AND THEN YOU QUOTE. then why didn't he look like that girl talking you could spot the clear difference. MOTHER FUCKER SHE SAID HE LOOKED BLACK. SHIT!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO SPOT THE CLEAR DIFFERNCE............................................................ ASSHOLE. BUT I GUESS YOU KNOW ALPO BETTER THEN THE GIRL DOES.
theres no ppoint of arguing, when he is clearly of african descent, how can you have african features and look african without having afrikan blood? does that make sense you fool.
if thats the case every black person in america has a little white in them. YOU HAVE HEARD OF PROCTORS RIGHT. look at the complection of almost any black person with the last name of proctor. then you called me a fool when your bio say making crackers look bad everyday and u spelled african with a k and the k and the c are know where close to each other. then you still are trying to convinvce me that you know alpo more then lady in the video. Now you just run along and dismiss yourself asswhole.
Dear, the c and the k are interchangeable. Both spellings are correct. You obviously dont know anything about language and the origin of words and letters. Indigenously the spelling with the c and the k are the same thing. Most likely the k was placed there intentionally. Learn etymology.
that has nothing to do with etymology trying to talk all fancy like i dont know what the word means. i just recently found out that organizations use the k as a symbol therefore that is not etymology because its still spelled africa and pronounced the same the word has never changed at all but groups of people use the k but the k and c are not interchangeable so until u find afrika on a map in a dictionary afrikan as a race afrika as a continent or anything like THAT.........SHUT THE FUCK UP
Lol: Etymology=• the origin of a word and the historical development of its meaning.'
Has everything to do with etymology. Your just looking it up for the first time using google & u assume you know it all now. Take a little more time with your research-then come back with an intelligent response-because Ive spent more than 5 minutes on the origin of letters. I even know and understand Numerology :). Notice i dont have 2 curse @ u to get my point accross. Grow up.
i can't fathom the stupid comments muthafuckas leave about afro latinos...if you see me everybody and i mean everybody knows i'm black untill i speak FLUENT SPANISH..i tell people that the only difference between african americans and afro latinos is that the slave ships landed in a different country but i'm far from spanish like the muthafuckas ffrom spain and that goes for dominicans, puerto ricians,hondurans panameno,brazilian,colombians i can go on for days...
Thank you.. Some people are just ignorant... You say your honduran.. Are you garifuna? as well if so wha a beautiful culture you have as others do in the african diaspora.. God blss you..
if you watch the series the girl says he was a dark skinned puertorican and people assumed he was black but he could speak fluent spanish. if you listen to his interviews you can tell he wasent black. and i never said he was spanish so what r u telling me spanish is not a race for tryin to sound smart and shit
No sweetie its not being smart its being educated ok... People from spain are spainards white european... During slavery the people from spain went to latin america and raped the native americans thats when the africans were bought over as slaves.. People in spanish speaking coutries are more afro centric than black americans,,, I bet you didnt know brazil is the only country outside of nigeria with the highest population of black people.. Education is beautiful thing...
Wayne Perry????Was Rayful's 1st cousin!!!Now go figure why Po was in DC?????All connected with the Blaco family!!!In the end!!!La madrina was the big Boss LADY!@!
alot of the connections that were made at that time came out of L.A. the iran contra scam had nothing to do la madrina she was locked up doin time in the 80s in cali. look up charles cosby check his story. Rick Ross did not work with La madrina but he did work wit ray i know that for a fact the crips out here was going out to the east coast all the time during the 80s all cuz of ross he had them cats on it.
I'm from DC and grew up in that era. I use too see Alpo and Wayne Perry out and about all the time. I never dealt with Alpo, but you can tell he had alot of shit with him, so I fault Wayne for put slim in his circle.
this is for the person who commented first you said i hate when people blame the white man for the crack epidemic you don't have to but the white man is the one that makes the crack i should no because i just got out for sellin crack but if you buy crack from a white man he's usaully undercover but when we sell the crack to the white man he buys it but he throws us in jail when we sell it to him shit don't make no sense
I hate when people blame the white man for the crack epidemic. No body put a gun to people heads and said smoke this. We fell for the bait. Not to metion people desire to get rich quick and not use their brains and pursue college. WTF? The want for material riches nearly destroyed a whole generation of people. Easy money always come with a price, whether its your soul or things you love most.

No.I am not afraid to take a stand.It's clear to you that I stand against any one bringing harm into any community, isn't it? A lot of people take stances but the question is what do you stand for? Yes.I try my best to b law abiding.In cases where a law/laws don't make sense I recognize it.And make a mental note of it.This is 1 acct of a Young man in the 80's.Who recognizes that he mad mistakes in the past.My question to you is why are you celebrating a life style that he regrets?

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING I understand what you're saying, but when people are economically and socially oppressed, they look to those who are prosperous in their communities. It should not be that way, but it is. There is plenty of hypocrisy to go around though. Why do people glorify Reagan despite the fact that he was a criminal?

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING he is being glorified for the energy he brought to harlem (not the bad things he did) and from what I hear he was a good dude, he brought fireworks for the kids, looked out for niggas, etc.

@nickelbagfoe
He brought drug energy to the Family's in Harlem.He brought Violent energy to the kids in Harlem.That's not a good dude.A good dude sets a positive example for his family & the kids in a community by serving as a protector and nourisher for his block.All I mean that that is..Don't conduct your self in a way that will bring harm to you nor the family's around you.

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING Why do movies glorify George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Jessie James, John Dillinger, etc, etc... They were all either murders, slave owners, crooks and/or thieves, but movies have been made about them as well. Your comment is a typical American hypocritical statement; i.e. that black is always bad, white is always good mentality. I feel sorry for you. Just take the movie for what it is, a documentary on three guys life.

@g00dlife
If this was a documentary on John Dillinger and he was being praised then my comment would be the same.You should have asked me my personal opinion on those people and built on my response.In an attempt to make a good point you missed your mark.Any person whom earned/earns a living by harming others should not be glorified on any medium.

theres no ppoint of arguing, when he is clearly of african descent, how can you have african features and look african without having afrikan blood? does that make sense you fool.
livblu 2 years ago 3
if thats the case every black person in america has a little white in them. YOU HAVE HEARD OF PROCTORS RIGHT. look at the complection of almost any black person with the last name of proctor. then you called me a fool when your bio say making crackers look bad everyday and u spelled african with a k and the k and the c are know where close to each other. then you still are trying to convinvce me that you know alpo more then lady in the video. Now you just run along and dismiss yourself asswhole.
createdp1ayer 2 years ago
Dear, the c and the k are interchangeable. Both spellings are correct. You obviously dont know anything about language and the origin of words and letters. Indigenously the spelling with the c and the k are the same thing. Most likely the k was placed there intentionally. Learn etymology.
napturaltwist211 2 years ago
that has nothing to do with etymology trying to talk all fancy like i dont know what the word means. i just recently found out that organizations use the k as a symbol therefore that is not etymology because its still spelled africa and pronounced the same the word has never changed at all but groups of people use the k but the k and c are not interchangeable so until u find afrika on a map in a dictionary afrikan as a race afrika as a continent or anything like THAT.........SHUT THE FUCK UP
createdp1ayer 2 years ago
Lol: Etymology=• the origin of a word and the historical development of its meaning.'
Has everything to do with etymology. Your just looking it up for the first time using google & u assume you know it all now. Take a little more time with your research-then come back with an intelligent response-because Ive spent more than 5 minutes on the origin of letters. I even know and understand Numerology :). Notice i dont have 2 curse @ u to get my point accross. Grow up.

No sweetie its not being smart its being educated ok... People from spain are spainards white european... During slavery the people from spain went to latin america and raped the native americans thats when the africans were bought over as slaves.. People in spanish speaking coutries are more afro centric than black americans,,, I bet you didnt know brazil is the only country outside of nigeria with the highest population of black people..
