Lil Reese on Finding Out about King Von's Murder, Why He Doesn't Like Quando Rondo (Part 16) 

When He Asked How Did He Feel and All He Could Say "It's The Streets Vlad". I felt his Pain.

I love Reese self control during this whole interview so far. Bro keeping the answers short and not saying anything that can come back to bite him later on. Love to see it

The pain in this man’s eyes really hurts me. Bless you Reese

I really like Lil' Reese's interviews. He's very real in the way he speaks & how he carries himself.

You can literally feel Lil Reese pain and exhaustion...

This dude is so stoic to his own pain, he can’t even express it through words anymore. You can see it in his eyes how tired his soul is.

1:26 A flash of emotion that's quickly quelled as he simply has no room for it. R.I.P. to all those lost to this madness!

You can tell he been through so much and lost so many people. God Bless, stay safe Reese

this entire interview has been a tough watch like how there's people surviving and living through all this trauma is awful and sad. 😔

You can see the emptiness in his eyes bros lost a lot of his best friends and still has to be reminded about it every time he goes to a interview

You can look in Reese eyes and see the pain and hurt from losing so many friends in his life his composure and his answers are very short and powerful

Takes a strong man to talk through this stuff. All the love to the man and his People's

This man is beyond bless to still be here...I hope he can find his peace best way possible 💯..

Lil Reese seen a lot of death and been to a lot of funerals. Grewing up I probably been to over 20 funerals or more. That shit does something to you. These couple of funerals I went to I just felt numb/empty. To the point the emotions you would feel when someone dies it's gone. R. I. P. To All Kings and Queens 🙏

Damn man. This heartbreaking. These brothers are people with real emotions too. Peace and blessings to Reese

Prayers to him..you can literally see the hurt, pain and need for revenge in his eyes all at the same time💜💜😔😔

Vlad was fishing hard but Reese kept a strong poker face and kept it simple… I like how he played it like a G 💯💯💯 way more people need to take notes on how to conduct themselves in a interview no cap

his reaction says a lot about what he really been through that shit is normalized to him

I've heard a lot of people on Vlad say they F with somebody.... But i truly felt this one! That was A REAL moment that kinda gave me chills!

The eyes are the window to the soul. It's very sad to see so many of our young men lost and misguided. I truly wish I could do something to change it.

Damn. T Roy whole family gave they life to the block. It’s hard to let stuff like that go, especially as a young man who hasn’t put life and kids and your remaining family in its proper perspective.

Reese experienced so many deaths, Von was just another homie that died

Prayers over everyone in Chicago dealing with this war....

I love & respect Lil reeses growth… not eager to crash out about anything, just looking at him you can tell he’s Beene enough.

The eyes are the windows to the soul & you can see every bit of what this man has been through resting upon his blank face. All of what he has experienced has made him numb. It doesn't hurt anymore because it's so common. Which is why it's hard for him to feel the hurt of losing someone so close, but he obviously understands that this is what you sign up for when you commit to the streets... that's why he scoffed at the question of being sad.

You can see the pain in Reese’s eyes especially when he mentions TRoy had past. Sad… I pray for peace for these young men

Bless you brother 🙌❤️

I remember when I was in 3rd grade one of the kids I heard had passed away.. I was so sad.. I was fucked up about it.. I'm 30 now.. I grew up in the streets.. I know so many people that passed away from Gun violence that it eventually doesn't really bother you anymore.. It hurts.. But you get Numb to it.. In 2020 I knew 10 people that got killed throughout the Summer.. It was like before I could Grieve one person someone else got killed, before I could grieve someone else got killed.. Eventually you just Numb up to it.. The Pain is there, but... You just eventually can't feel for shit anymore.. Unless they are in your Immediate circle you won't even shed a tear.. I can say from 2010 until this year, I know about 30 people who have died all together.. I probably cried for about 3 of them.. If I take my Mother out the equation I cried for 2.. I just lost 2 Niggas I grew up with in January in a shooting.. That was the first time I cried for someone I know getting Killed since 2011 when My homeboy got killed by the Police.. I cried because one out of the two I was once best friends with at one point in life.. We got older and grew apart but we from the same hood.. We always see eachother ect.. Like we distant cousins lol. I've known him since I was 11/12.. Some people that pass away seems unreal.. Like damn it don't feel like they were supposed to die.. Then he died trying to get his life together.. Over a Bitch.. I shed a few tears.. But overall, I'm Numb.. I see that Reese is the Same way.. That feeling goes away after a while.. It's like you hear Someone you know gets killed and all you can say is "Damn" with literally no feelings attached.. It's also different when you a real street nigga and you die.. Niggas don't feel forreal cus we know you knew what was coming.. Like Reese said, "It's the streets".. A sad reality we live out here...

I wish Reese peace and I hope he lives out his dreams

Imagine this type of shit being normal to someone. Respect to Reese and all the ones who go through so much growing up in tough environments 💙💯

You can see the pain in his eyes. Damn man I’m glad I didn’t have to grow up in a war like these guys did. But my heart goes out to all of them. You see all of the zacktv interviews and him and most of the guys he interviewed are now gone. Idk anything about the gang life but damn it breaks my heart. Rip to all the people who lost their life in this war.

I hope we see Reese as an old man ! It would be amazing to see his story

"And look inside the eyes of these killers, a blank stare that's stiffer than stone, got you wonderin, where in life they went wrong. Don't wanna cross these types, if you do think twice" - Jay Rock

Kinda sad because you can tell he so numb to death that it don’t phase him. But he gave the realest answer in the interview he said it’s the streets anything goes when you in that field

Yesterday, Von reached 3 millions subscribers on youtube. He's been gone for over 2 years. That says a lot about his impact.

I’m glad he kept his answers short. I think he knows better than to say too much ppl need to learn that.

Lil Reese did not want to talk about Von at all, not even a little. Looking over to the side to his man like, "I am just going to sit here and listen but this guy is trippin asking me these questions for the mainstream to see my emotions..."

Watching this video and seeing Lil Reese’s reaction to people dying around him, this is a man that has been surrounded by death his entire life. Almost like he is just numb to everything. Sad existence.

Losing so many people makes you feel numb and empty inside. I lost so many this past era from 2015 to now I lost so many relatives, friends, pets, etc. And I just feel empty or something is missing when I don't hear them anymore. I miss my grandma last year, my 2 cats in which they past away early this year, my younger cousin in law, grandpa, and grandma vita and there is way more than I mentioned who past. It sucks my that I don't hear my grandma saying my nick name anymore, she was only member of rhe family that can give the positive silence treatment that we deserve when we feel troubled. Even my friends and local neighbors called her grandma cause of her funny positive caring nature.

1:25 you can hear his voice shaking then see him swallow his feelings and his eyes well up. Shits sad. It's weird that I sit here and watch this man's pain so easily through a screen. But honestly I don't think they'll admit it but these interviews are definitely therapy for some of them.

the way Reese smokin, staring str8 at vlad with the dead look and smoke rising slowly while saying I don't fuck with quondo, u gottaadmit was type of menacing grim reaper vibes fr

He trying so hard to get Reese to show some type of compassion and emotion and it's just not there 😭

Bless you brothers

he's on the verge of tears. God I wish these guys would see that this shit has nothing for them at all. Just rap and love your people

I often think of ptsd and depression when i hear young rappers from chicago speak in interviews. I dont think its an OVERLOOKED fact, but i think it has a greater volume than we most often realize or admit. Im not thinking of Reese in particular when i make this next point, but i do include him in the observation. Often there is this huge contrast visible in the life of young chicago gangster rappers. They are SUCCESFUL, but they are traumatized. And for obvious reasons, they "have to" play the art of war, either from reasons in the past or the present. Internal and external reasons. They cant show any soft spots. So what that creates is a reality with an enormous amount of trauma, and no constructive way to deal with that, or even talk about it openly. Its a battle where even the winners lose something, because surviving leaves them crippled. Also, thats not even the tip of the iceberg. These are just the succesful people that we get to hear about. For every one of them there is at least a whole block of people (families) that we dont hear about aside from depressing news headlines.

Ayo Reese sat there them last 2 minutes and just let Vlad talk. Reese a smart dude, it is what it is. Vlad trying to play the hood doctor and bring resolve. But lives were lost over that, ain't nothing to talk about Vlad.

You can see through his eyes the hurt, pain and losses.

You can only cry so much until it's empty tears..

I am amazed how he didn't break down crying even though he choked up. Hope he will get threapy for everything he has one through

Hands down Reese is the most solid n respectful dude and responds or stays quiet 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

That’s a real G. Quiet. Short answers. No displayed emotions. No emotional, knee jerk reaction to any questions. Staring that clown 🤡 Vlad down. I’m sure he’s a delight around his lady and family. But, this isn’t the setting for it. Vlad is asking dangerous questions. He actually tried to get Reese to confirm murders/motive. Reese just stared 👀 and said nothing. Love it. He’s smart. Intelligent. Hope they all make it out of the streets. All sides.

I'm so sorry.. I see the sorrow, the pain, the hurt in your eyes. God loves you, so remember that.❤

Lil Reese was feeling some type of way bout this whole topic. ❤️‍🩹 RIP VON MANNN

His reaction proves he's numb to the repeated murders around him.

Seeing his expressing is crazy . This young man needs some peace in his life

This interview is literally the definition of how people can die so much u become numb to it😮‍💨‼️

He doesn’t think it’s sad because he’s been through so much , he can’t empathize when someone dies. I believe he just thinks that’s how life is , likes it’s normal

You can see the pain in his eyes 😞

The eyes of a man who has seen a lot of death… even came close to it himself… Damn shame how the streets makes you cold hearted…

Reese been thru the fire man, the eyes never lie

2:51 “Shidd, this the street VADD!” Resse DUMB high 😂😂😂

When he said “it the streets vlad” I felt that

Real stepper. From Detroit we salute you. 🙏

When a man feels like he can't even admit to being sad over a close friends death, that shits crazy. These dudes only know how to shove it down or respond with violence. Sad af

I’m kind of inspired by the way Reese conducts himself in interviews

RIP GRANDSON 🖤💯 Chicago all Day! It’s too much love built on so much Hate! Love my city but we gotta realize the BIGGER PICTURE! Life is pure! If you’re alive YOU WON

Reese answering like you answer to the cops, if u have to answer at all! He on it!! 💯

Kept it gangsta the whole interview

Rest in peace young Dolph condolence to the family your soul live on

Long Live Von Vlad so disconnected from these young guys lives. I see why he cant keep friends that he meets in the industry. He only sees logic thru his own eyes and only thru his eyes are the right answers.

Man that shit is painful for him. You can see it in his eyes.

You see his pain... I feel his pain... 😭😭😭😭

Sometimes revenge is 100% necessary if it sends a message of deterrence for a greater cause and if the sacrifice for that revenge outweighs other goals but when the violence is senseless and unjustified with no real greater objective in sight to improve or balance out morality then it’s flat out stupid and uncalled for not worthy of being glorified whatsoever

“A lot of people compared the situation to how Tupac died” I literally heard only vlad say that then make his guests agree💀

Bro that shit hurt watching bro trying to hold back them emotions. I know what it feel like losing a homie. I couldn’t imagine doing it on camera 💯💯💯💔💔💔

Aye bruh them eyes says a lot. You can tell his life has been stressful pray for this man sometimes I wonder how Reese managed to survive through it all

I love lil Reese and don’t take his emotions as he don’t care bro he does you could tell bro he just know this is part of the streets he lost so many people almost lost his own life shit sucks hold your head lil Reese and give us some new music my Guyzzer

Rest in peace Kay slay condolence to the family your soul live on

I had to watch this twice. The pain he's in can't be masked. The thumbnail alone shows so much pain. It's a terrible life to be surrounded by so much death from you and from others.

Well this was a really insightful clip. Really impressed with reese opening up and how he barely gave glad a chance to speak

Remember guys, Don’t run up and fight someone because you never know if someone around them has guns

I like how Lil Reese keeping the interview short and sweet and only respond with short answers when ask a question so it doesn't come back to bite him at the end, smart move Lil Reese 💯👍

Heartless

The way lil bro ate those tears hit waaaay different, i almost shed one for him.

Don’t know why…. Just feel like I want to give them all a hug! Just a a good ole wholesome grandma hug.🥺

Reese took a real moment and you could see this one on his face . I had no idea T.Roy’ s brother with Von that night. I couldn’t imagine the kinda conditioning these men go through to not be phased when you lose and lose.

He was really fighting back tears

Never met Von, highly likely never would. but I get exhausted just hearing people ask his people endless questions. It drains me. Let these people grieve and heal. Let him rest.

Glorying stupid behavior will always get you in trouble. All these rappers or “street dudes” trying to live up to a persona for “respect” plays right into the trap of keeping people in a state of poverty.

Thank your subscribers for 5mil before you drop another flashback big dawg Vlad!!! Congrats 🥳 keep going 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

You can see the pain in his eye but he don’t see the pain he’s put in others

Everyone grieves differently you can see it in Reese's Eyes when he lost his loved ones

Damn it's sad that alot of young black men are numb to death. Something has to give. 😔 I'm so glad I left New York while my son was a toddler cus now that he's 16 his life is moving in a great positive path vs if I didn't leave NY , he would've probably been in the streets or jail. 90 percent of young men I grew up with in my hometown are either dead or in jail. The few that survived were smart enough to relocate. I thank God everyday for allowing me to raise a stand up young man. I swear my son has never given me any issues. He's graduating high school early and will be attending the NASA college program. As a single black mom, I am blessed and I'm proud! 👏🏾 I pray that these young black men will find guidance that will lead them to a straight path.

Reese is pretty calculated during these interviews and good and masking his feeling but you can tell it hurts him

That’s why I back down from fights unless it’s about my family or somebody I love and I gotta protect them. Not tryna put my hands on nobody cuz niggas is killin for nun. Gotta move smarter not harder

1:02 that 2nd “yeah he was” came with some pain smh.

Vlad had to throw in “Yea, I interviewed him before” 🤣

This is like their 70th homebody to die from being shot. That been going on since 2010 and before when they were like 14…….. their emotions aren’t the same. Death isn’t to them what it is to US. You heard him, “ITS THE STREETS🤷🏽‍♂️”

At 1:26 the pain in his voice 💔 those boys have a heart its a wall up he is feeling the pain and GOD will change him for the better ... 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

A real one 💯
