Terrance "Gangsta" Williams on Why Birdman Didn't Embrace Him After Doing 23 Years in Jail (Part 24) 

I did 4yrs in prison.. my cell mate was a lifer who had been down 16yrs already… One night we laying down going to sleep and he asked me if there was different buttons for a text message and a phone call. Right there I knew I didn’t wanna spend the rest of my life in prison and after I got out I turned my life around and have never been back. Got released in 2016💪🏽

Birdman: You made your bed now lay in it. Gangsta: You got a pillow ?

"My math and your math are going to be different." "Nah bro math is the same around the entire United States/" 🤣😅🤣

He sounds genuine, and when he said: “i am a citizen now. I work. I pay taxes”, that really did it for me. Welcome back to general population called outside world young fellow. I hope you stay on a straight path and continue growing as a human being!

He respected the fact that he broke a code that he initially endorsed; which gives them the rights to move on from him. That's a stand up guy

I was 23 the day he was released, he spent the equivalent of my whole life in jail. I can’t imagine what its like,it’s scary.

The biggest flex was that he was free and doesn’t worry about dying in prison and he can profit off his life just like his brother did

You can literally hear the humbleness in his voice I salute u gangsta 🫵🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽

The fact that phones/social media was the 1st thing that “freaked him out” and he spoke ppl not playing attention/head down speaks volumes!

That ended almost made me cry cause you tell he got pain in his heart about his brother distancing him. But he seem strong and could get through it and succeed in life

No lie that’s one of the best feeling ever hearing the guards call ya name

I have much respect for Slim for not turning his back on his brother. 23 years and the people death he said did it. Honestly who wouldn’t use that card to get out.

It took this man 26 years to realize it wasn’t worth dying in prison just to be seen as solid in the eyes of thugs

He said "I b riding in the Uber and Lyft "🤣 kept it real..

Slim always been the leader,he’s the boss of Cash money records!!

Nigga did over 20 years in jail... Give him a break yo!

Vlad I hope you pointed him in the right direction for a book deal, his story is worth a couple million.

He Broke A Code But What I Respect Most About Slim Is That He Still There For His Brother Regardless..U can Still Love Ya Family & Help them even If It's From A Distance..Respect To Slim

I’m 22 going to 23 years old. It basically means the day I was born, I would be in prison and come out only now. It’s crazy. Respect for the time served and I hope he enjoys the rest of his life 🙏

When this dudes interview dropped I didn’t know who he was. But this dude is dope this dude really has reflected on what he’s done in life. I appreciate that he is who he is but still respects his 9 to 5

He just need to keep doing interviews and make a RU-vid channel telling his story. He gon be alright

Man Gangsta was the reason birdman and them had respect. Gotta grow up, gangsta didn’t let his time stop him, he grew behind bars and you can tell. That street shit is hypocritical.

A peace of mind is priceless 💯

I feel you Bro 🤲💪💯 For Real I was incarcerated for 14 years. And I'm glad to see that you're home and doing the right thing 💯

When he said he was so frustrated with phones that he wanted to go back to beepers 📟 I fucking died😂😂 that just shows how much time he missed out in the real world

I got to tell the truth, this is the greatest interview Vladd TV has ever Produced. This will be in the millions in a minute

I can honestly say I'm happy for this guy!

Easily top-five interviews on VladTv. Respect to Gangster as well.

This man a real one you can tell he is just happy to be free everything else is just extra for this man,god bless 💪

When baby said “ my momma dead, my daddy dead, my brothers a dope fiend I’m ducking the feds!!” I knew he was a cold hearted dude 😂 😂😂

Slim always been the stand up guy ALWAYS

I'm from Chicago, lots of gangsters, mobsters, and outlaws like in any other city but "Gangsta" played the game raw as they say in the Big Easy. People gotta understand, that one thing about gangsterism is that there's no one playbook. It was all created by the Italians, Irish, and Jews. Their rules or Omerta weren't laid down and passed down to Black people. Our original contribution to the underworld was the Policy wheel and pimping. So Terrance found a loophole by giving up dead people. His testimony could be used to apprehend people in the future but he didn't directly put anybody in jail but it's still a form of snitching cus' you are supposed to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! But as a civilian I'm glad he's free and has a new outlook on life, hopefully, God has mercy on his soul for all the dirt he did, if not, that's between him and Allah, we can't judge him.

Slim was always the reasonable one I respect him more than birdman.

You Can Tell he’s More Mature Then Most of his So Called Brothers. No Matter What Never Leave Yo Brothers Hanging. Nothing But Respect For This Man.

Big brother still looking out. I don’t know that man, but I have crazy respect for him. Regardless, of what he did, slim still see his brother as his brother. That’s a good brother.

It’s Crazy How Both The Law And The Streets(Well Birdman) Will Rail Road You On A Small Technicality Smh . IDC Telling On The Dead Ain’t Snitching Bro 😂😂😂

He's a good dude. He's been through a lot but he survived a rough life. 💯

telling on the dead is a great strategy. no different than sending a minor to sell drugs or do a murder because you know they will get off lighter than an adult. This street shit can be very hypocritical and subjective at times.

Damn near in tears hearing this man 23yrs then you hear that pack it up there’s nothing like that being released from jail

"Math is the same all around the states" that was hilarious

Ninth Ward checking in. Much respect Gangster. The last words was as real as an OG can get. "They living that gangster life. I don't live that no more." 504 standing strong as usual.

Keep your head up Gangsta you did what you had to not everyone will understand that.

From what I've seen Slim is the only one to keep it 💯

I respect it. He broke a rule that most people would’ve broken if they’re honest...I see it both ways but on a human level I see how he made that move. No one did time and that was his focus

My dad did 21 years of prison....the way they have to get used to the outside is crazy and weird....their minds still be like they're institutionalized...and it takes them years to shake that shit smh

That man said he was ready to go back to beepers 😂

He hurt behind Birdman not talking to him!! His emotions change when talking about it!!

These people are crazy. After gangster did half of his life in prison, they still wanted him to do more time even though him cooperating wouldn't get anybody arrested. In the meantime they stay free and enjoying the best of life...

Salute to DJ.Vlad and Terrence Williams for the greatest interview of this decade.

He said i thought i was going be riding in the maybachs but i had to get uber and lyft lol this brother has a lot of charisma for someone that just did 23 years behinds bars. You can tell he was a stand up guy in the joint. Any lifer would have prayed for his situation. And big respect to slim for taking care his blood. Im always moved by brotherhood. I remember the verse in the bible jesus said there is no greater love than one that lays down his life for his brothers.

Hopefully Birdman can find it in his heart to forgive his brother. He’s not a part of the street life anymore. Gangsta served his time and he can now enjoy the simple things in life like eating what he wants with his new found freedom. Forget about riding in the Maybachs with Birdman. Birdman won’t take any of those material things when he leaves this earth.

Funny how he knows the law and criminal loopholes so well!!

1:27 "my calculations and yo calculations gon be different" - every salesman at a car dealership

Can tell dude's jailtime made him more appreciative of his freedom that he don't have time for petty things no more, and fair enough losing family (Birdman) is always hurtful, but much respect for taking responsibility and starting all over again... A lot of people aren't millionaires are we all doing alryt and may he join the club...

Birdman just lookin for any reason not to pay anyone

Baby didn't embrace him because he ratted. Plain & simple

FaceTime gave him a back to the Future 2 feeling…💯🔥🚀

I did 5.5 years and it’s nothing like freedom amen . My life is completely turned around. Got out out 2016 and haven’t been back since by the grace of god and good people around me

I’ll never do my brother like this

I'm glad he is living a rebirth of sorts. He smiles to say he works two jobs and pays taxes. I'm happy he is happy and doesn't have to live paranoid anymore. Birdman should buy homie a house for his loyalty to them.

Salute to that man he got way more stripes than birdman. Birdman standing on ground that gangsta made it easy for him to move on sad situation.

My bro just got out from 30 yrs in a charge and he wasn't even there. Shit crazy!

God damn this is a beyond great interview

Gangsta need to start a RU-vid channel telling his stories and experiences people will defly tune in

they both legends n kept it 100 I respect it

Welcome home bro , it's been a long time since we was in 3rd ward . Keep your head up and praise God fully.

It’s sad some of these dudes gotta do 20 plus years just to realize A regular 9-5 ain’t so bad after all. Imagine where he could have been if he had his life back by this time . Surrounded by the people he surrounded by. He’d be rich . That street life a facade . It comes , it’s fast and it goes fast. It’s just not worth it . I’m 31 and I’ve experienced so much since 23 . I couldn’t imagine at all

listen i don"t condone no snitching in any way or form except 1 if you doing life in prison and you can come home after doing 24 yrs by telling on yo friends who are already death and you give no jail time on people who are alive shit that is no snitching in my eyes i think my death homies would be glad that they could do that for me

Gangsta you need some Book Deals, Movie Deals, Speaking Engagements, A talk show, A Television show wouldn't hurt. Plus you need to start up a few Mentoring Program's because God Almighty has been more than Exceptional to you Brother. 23 years or close to it and to come Home with a Sound mind, Healthy able body is a HUGE BLESSING!!! You are definitely a Hustler, just do it the right way TODAY! Stay safe, Stay well and Stay BLESSED Everyone!!!

23 years a long time . He missed out alot with the transition of cell phones changes , presidents ,clothing styles , tv shows ,music artists who no longer around, social media, cars and gas prices

I fucks with Terrance Gangsta Williams, people can say what they want about him.A person can never say what they would or wouldn't do if their life is on the line.He obviously accepted that he violated,he owned up to it and now he can move on.Real humble dude in my opinion and big up to Slim for still helping his brother 💪💪💯💯

I got frustrated at texting,I wanted to go back to beepers.🤣🤣🤣 Realest shit I ever had

Congratulations to him and his new journey 👏 🙌 ❤️ 💙

NO matter what he did to come home he helped build that brand and put in work himself. I can't believe Slim helping and not Birdman. Blood will always be blood and he spilled a lot for Cash Money.

I was waiting on this

Jesus ! I'm getting goosebumps and cold chills listening to him talking about his release ! Hang in there Chief and God Bless You brother ❤️🙏🏽

Thought I was gonna be in maybach but I’m on Uber lift lol😂

Nobody will never cut off a person like gangster. You never know when you will need his old work he put out there

His math comments reminds me of an argument with my brother where he tried to tell me miles was longer in Houston then they was in Oklahoma where I live in like bro a mile is the same no matter where you at in the world fam lmao he tried to argue with me otherwise tho lmao

That’s whack af of Birdman. Disowning your own brother over telling over the dead? Never minding the fact that he could’ve told on YOU to get his sentence reduced after all these years??? Smfh

Nobody in the industry really messes with Birdman anymore so it's funny to hear him do it to someone else

"see me in court nephew" damn slim...thats cold

Baby distanced himself because he knows the FEDs been watching him forever. YSL ain’t shit compared to some of the stories I used to hear about how Baby and Cash Money was rocking. That RICO sh!t is real and I’m sure he doesn’t want 12 digging up his past.

the street code is dumb af stay in school kids cause this is insane

Wow that's a awesome feeling when he started smiling when C.O called out Terrance Williams gets your stuff... You're going home 🏠 Mane I felt dat shiiiiiii 🥶 in my soul!! Welcome , mutter4uckin home 🏠 bruh

a lot of people think Birdman is the brain behind the operation but reality is Slim is the smart one and kept them afloat. Birdman did his thang but he always wanted to be flashy in front of the camera. You hardly ever see Slim

LMFAOOOOOOOOO RIGHT OUT THE GATE!!!! JUST SAY YOU WAS TELLIN BRUH😆🤣🤣

One of the best interviews on this channel. Boosie now has competition for the #1 spot on VladTV now.

Everytime somebody come home he go Michael jackson was alive

Birdman even as a multimillionaire always finds ways to take Ls in every situation. Imagine signing to someone to him and expecting different

And as long as you keep your nose clean bro you gon get them Bentley's, House's and Everything else you want. In a matter of time people going to be calling you for book deals, speaking engagements, all kinds of shit. Just keep your nose clean. I know it's going to come to you. Something about your soul & spirit is going to bring you finances from several avenues. I feel it....

"See me in court nephew" - birdman This nigga baby is cold blooded af 😮

Big respect to this man he kept it real

this story has been compelling

This man did 24 years....damn...solid AF

Something about this dude I respect! I can tell he is straight, paid his debt now he just wants what he is owed

Dawg say fuck that shower I’m outta here 😂

Most Respect To SLIM THE LEADER OF CASH MONEY... A REAL TRUE BROTHER

He could’ve had birdman with a life sentence if he wanted to. But he didn’t give him to the feds. And now birdman turns his back on a man that spared his life. Let this be a lesson. Save yourself first and deal with all that other nonsense at a later date.

Welcome home gangsta💯💯💯
