BUTCH JONES & THE Y.B.I: YOUNG BOYS INC TEENAGE DRUGLORDS (DETROIT) 

Just found your channel today! I’ve been a true crime junkie for years. Here lately I’ve felt burn out because they’re all the same these days, covering same stories in the same way. Then I find this and it’s like a breath of fresh air and I’m alive again ! Thanks my man ✌🏻❤

Can’t believe I made it out. I was born in 73, and grew up on Glynn and Dexter.

The karate moves is fuckin crazy 😂 All that kicking and got clapped

No drug dynasty/clique/family lasts forever! Some get years maybe a decade but THERE IS ALWAYS A PRICE TO PAY! Prison for YEARS OR LIFE is not worth it...and possibly being murdered is NOT on my to do list...

Bruhhhh this is my favorite documentary channel out of all on RU-vid it's top tier the music oml matches the stories and make u just sit back and imagine living the life these folks did...

Classic story great storytelling

Seeing how my city was back then when I was a kid, brought back so many memories. Some neighborhoods never recovered n look like tht today.

I went to Woodlawn Cemetery last year and saw an incredible display of black onyx stones. I looked closer and it explains that it is the plot area for "The Family". I also looked at the dates on the graves, none of them were over the age of 22-25 years old, all young black boys. I knew I had stumbled on a very prominent gang cemetery site. It was really scary in a sense because it showed how serious the game in Detroit was.

Man you broke this story down appreciate the effort you put into these videos my brother

Another masterpiece! I can only watch these at night😂

I love these 1980s stories and they way you tell their stories salute 👏

I remember this Era! No games were being played. I'm glad I had a family around that time. I remember guys trying to get us to be workers etc. Many of my friends died before 15. The 80s in Detroit was extremely dangerous.

Uncle Butch was Da Shiiit! Everyone knew about Kirk McGirt and the War with Pony Down was BRUTAL!!

You make some dope and insightful documentaries brother. 😎👏👏👏👏👏

They ruined neighborhoods and families sad that people look up to these criminals

I’m A Fan of Hood Stories! I Know this one will be Good 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I grew up with The JBM in West Philly. It's crazy how stupid and smart these young brothas are at the same time. None of these guys are heroes, good people or changed by jail. They're predators and f'd up. They're destroyers of their own people. But I always think, what if they saw other opportunities? These little street CEOs would have been captains of industry, business leaders and real heroes. I got out before I got in too deep. I knew there were other ways. We (Black People) need to start teaching our kids early that opportunity is out there, but you have to go out there and earn it. Get away from your 8 square block prison and open your minds. Damn!

One can see what goes in the streets without being in them. Movies like this warns us of the danger and death that happens to those that participate in such dangerous environments.

Deep story I appreciate the effort you put into these videos King 💕

Great video. At the end of the day, there are no winners in the drug game except for funeral homes and the PIC!! Just make money legally!!

Raymond Peoples is my niece Shahita’s dad, he absolutely loved my mom. I remember when he would pull up in his 1940 classic car and mom would lecture him about his life and he responded respectfully because she was his elder. I remember how hard she took his death and his daughter was at home with us when he was murdered. We knew Butch, Spaghetti Eddie and Fancy Gaines on a personal level, we never saw the street side of these guys. Born and raised in Detroit and life back then made us tough but we still had so much fun. Butch sold a lot of his books at the Police station believe it or not. Mom still has his book. RIH Raymond.

Detroit in here!!!

Legendary story I never knew it was this deep great job

R.I.P. Dwayne Davis a.k.a. "Wonderful Wayne"

This the one we been waiting on 💯

i used to buy my heroin from them back in the 70's! They had the good shit and opened on the street at 9 AM and closed at 5PM exactly as they had a straight up business! When they got shut down heroin selling went back to the shit it used to be! I got CLEAN!!!

I missed u King glad u back with more 🔥

My family live on Dexter for over 60 years. So many memories Dexter👌 Love Forever ❤️! The narrator on here did a great job!

One of the best channels on youtube

I love the way you tell a story and have your research and sources together and sometimes your other videos connect with other videos so keep going king! I love it!

Detroit was ruthless

I love the structure of these documentaries and the detail is amazing. especially the contents of the conversations they had.

Great insights very informative I appreciate you and the way you tell the story

Great Video Please Continue doing what you do my Uncle Butch would respect your story and how well it was put together it was short and to the point!❤️🥰

I’ve been binge watching your videos past couple of days and I must say your research and effort into these videos is amazing . Thank you so much ❤

You did your thing on this video great work bro 💯

I was born in 1973. And by the grace of GOD.........I grew up, hearing about STREET SHIT,,,,,,,, but my mom worked hard, in the 70's and 80's and the 90's and my DAD, Who was ALREADY MARRIED to my stepmom, when he met my mom, was a hustler turned DETROIT FREE PRESS, employee for 40 years. I used to hear about YBI, in the 80's, and I grew up ON the WESTSIDE. STILL DONT KNOW nothing about about the VAST EASTSIDE. WHEN CRACK HIT.....the MADNESS REALLY JUMPED OFF.

Spending my high school years In Detroit due to custody dispute I could not wait to leave… I can attest gangs ran the city minus the suburbs where my aunt lived thankfully

YBI was started in my hood, Dexter Down 👌🏾

You the best telling these old school gangster stories bro 👌

Leroy "Gun" is my uncle he passed a few years ago all my uncle's was hustlers "Detroit playas"💯💥💪🏾👊🏾

Glad your back, I love it

My grandfather lived in those apartments, was respected and looked after. Everyone respected reverend Duke. That’s the ways of old school.

I spoke to my uncle Silvester like 6 months ago his hair is gray and he's gotten older of course he's doing good he said them boys back then was what was going on money all over the place not anymore that was when crack hit the street's in the 80's it's slow motion these days

I always respect those old school dealers. They was about that life, but still had respect for the elders and kids.

I know you was coming just in time I LOVEEEEEE ITTTTT❤️❤️‼️

HI SWEETY.....HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A WHILE...........KEEP THESE COMING I'M ADDICTED.......GREAT WORK.....

OMG I'm jus now seeing the upload thxs I been waiting on this🤝🏾🥰💙

Butch was ruthless af

OK PEOPLE REAL TALK!!.. I lived in Detroit back in the mid to late 80'S I remember all of this.. and back then Detroit was the murder capital three years in a row. and all the drug dealers junkies and corrupt politicians ran the city of Detroit into the GROUND!!..if you ride through certain neighborhoods today it looks worse than a third world country.. when you have generation after generation of a society of people with a we don't give a damn attitude and a desensitized mentality, this among other things is what happens.. back then it was like if one drug gang fell,. two more rose up.. and it was real sad due to the fact back then a lot of young kids gravitated towards the drug dealers and Street people... if you got good grades, spoke proper English you were looked at different as lame, a token, or oh he wants to be white.. well I guess my token ass turned out pretty good 👍 because I didn't do drugs or sell them... as I got older I traveled and went to other major cities, and one thing always stuck in my head THE WORLD IS A GHETTO!!!..OH LORD PLEASE HELP US FIND A WAY OUT OF ALL THIS MADNESS AND DARKNESS..EVEN SATAN IS AFRAID!!

I am from the UK 🇬🇧 and some of these stories we know. Excellent production.

I love watching these need to drop more content

Great job, I really enjoyed this and I look forward to watching more (I subscribed) but I do want to add a thought … when you listed the shows (towards the end) check out Power Book 4 (Force), they have a gang on there called C.B.I. I feel 50 not only wanted BMF but Y.B.I. too but couldn’t do a whole YBI series in Michigan due to it being no incentives to film here, so he took some of their concept and put it into Power Book 4… just a thought.

This channel and Celebrity Underrated are the only two documentary channels worth watching!!! These two men are the truth! I just recently found this channel and already watched almost every story. Keep doing what you do bro💯💯💯

You good story teller.thanks a lot for the great work you putting in.

Now I can see why Butch was the only one who used to win more at chess.

A movie should be made about the YBI

Yeeesssss!!!! New content! Thanks so much!

Man this was great very entertaining I need more videos bruh frfr

I'm a true crime junkie & was scrolling my recommended vids when I accidentally clicked on the video of Wayne Perry. I was gonna close it but figured, **** it, let it run.. And I'm soooo glad I did. I haven't heard of these people/cases but I will because I'm binge watching all these vids. IDK if you'll ever see this, but if so keep going! You're talented AF & have a unique gift! Thank you for sharing it with us.
