A Story on Sonny Carson by Paradise Gray 

He sound mad young, but look old ass hell

Watched the movie yesterday after work. Can’t believe it was 1974, good stuff.

Funny that this came up coz I watched the education of sonny Carson a few days ago

Thank you for the knowledge.

I went to school (Old Boys High School) with one of his sons. Who was in the movie (the Prospect Park scene before the rumble). Which I was there also. His son also use to take Polaroid pictures on the old 42nd street back in the day in the late 70s and 80s. I once sat on a jury in (1993) which was a very high profile Brooklyn case. A witness for the defense was from Sonny Carson organization. The prosecution tried to defame her testimony. Because she was attached to his name. The only one on the jury that knew about Sonny Carson was myself. So I had to explain to the other 11 jurors while in the jury room.

NYC at its finest and it’s called Bullpen Therapy when they hold you over the weekend for a blunt and a beer lol

Thank You for the Story never told. The Back story of Sonny Carson and men like him. The root of all True Black Stories USA coast to coast "I am gonna be the Captain of the Queen Mary"

Mutulu Shakur(Tupac Shakur step father) learned under Sonny Carson. Professor X and Tupac Shakur were gonna meet until tha shooting at tha studio lobby. Tupac already met wit Khalid Muhammad before that.

Thank you for this information. Peace.

That was a great story. Sucks knowing not much has changed on the nypd side of the game.

Bro calling Sonny Carson Brooklyn's Bumpy Johnson is very disrespectful i could just hear what A B (SonnyCarson) would say to you brother get your history right ! I was a member of Sonny's school of common sense before the movie Sonny did not have use out selling drugs Sonny had use me and Lumumba who was like a brother to me out there working to get black people elected he had use out working giving out flyers telling black people to support new black businesses .Sonny Carson was a great man who like anyone one else made mistakes in life but made up for it later on in life.This is for the guy who is talking i know you were a friend of Lumumba aka X but what you said about his father you don't know shit about Bumpy rip and you damn sure don't know nothing about Sonny sorry yall Sonny was like a father to me just like he was for a lot of young black men but he made him sound like a drug dealer who Bumpy was Peace !!

Out of respect you should've apologized to that lady and pulled the young brother to side and dropped the jewels on him

WOW!!!👊👊👊👊👊👊

Mentored al sharpton ??? That should have been bleeped out. I don't think Sonny ever claimed that. Paradise should know better than that. fat al back in the day wore a wire trying to snitch Sonny and the Movement out, and not talking about the Black Watch Movement.

He is lying he don't know what he's talking about Sonny Carson did not run John Gotti out of Brooklyn Frank Matthews ran Gotti crew out of Brooklyn

Peace Paradise it's the ballet while b a l e w a

Balewa why up

This old dude is a little ignorant, but mostly informational.

Ran Luciano out of Harlem?😂 Perhaps he was to busy taking over a whole country known as Cuba, Helping win WW2 campaigns in Italy, organizing the commission, he protected the NYC docks & longshoremen from sabotage, all while making millions and dying a free man. Not to shabby for a poor immigrant child. I respect this guy, but come on lets be real

Boys high

Speak on it g.o.d
