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💪🏽

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 🙏

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

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

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

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 💪

A peace of mind is priceless 💯

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.

Bless man keep pushing with your new life

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 💯

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

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

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

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

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...

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

God damn this is a beyond great interview

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

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

Keep your head up gangsta….you been through a lot …..if you survived all them years in prison and on the streets ….you can survive anything ….if your brother don’t want to deal with you just suck it up and keep pushing ✊🏾

I can confirm going from behind the wall straight to the street is terrifying and a wild feeling definitely seen old heads have strokes/die from the stress of there date coming up

It will get easier brother!! I did 12 years I didn’t know what an app was. I got so frustrated with that shit the world is so much different now. But just slow everything down and take your time. I hope the best for you dawg. Ive been out 7 years doing good just keep it moving forward!!!!!!

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

This has been a good interview 🍿

Rehabilitation, is all there is to say!...it doesn't matter whether or not you've been incarcerated, been classified as this or that, all that matters is a great heart and commitment. Hats of to brother "Gangsta" Williams for staying positive..

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.

Respect! Growth is a beautiful thing to see! 🙏🏼

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.

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

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.

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

Slim always been the stand up guy ALWAYS

I died this nvgga say "I was ready to go bk to beepers" nvgga beepers??! 🤣🤣🤣

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

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.

I was waiting on this

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

Gotta respect all the family decisions being made here… I understand all what I heard in feel all them

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 😂😂😂

they both legends n kept it 100 I respect it

Fascinating interview.

Damn this is super insightful Thanks hotboa

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

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

Hopefully it's about 10 more parts of this interview

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

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

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.

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

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.

Checking out your video as promised and so far so good. The interview was very knowledgeable and taught me about the jail system

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.

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

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

This reminds me of that scene on Life when Claude drives dude to the bus station and he sees how much the world has changed.

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

Congratulations to him and his new journey 👏 🙌 ❤️ 💙

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

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 😂 😂😂

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

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

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...

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

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

this story has been compelling

Slim always makes boss moves. Nuff said 👊👊

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

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

Welcome home gangsta💯💯💯

Keep your head up champ, welcome home 💪🏾

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

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

Wow! God Bless this man for staying strong and doing his time. May positivity and good vibes surround every aspect of his future.

I fw gangsta man !!!. He grown and standing on business. Super humble super respectable OG. Did his time like a man. When bro said I pay taxes that shit hit.

“I got so frustrated of the phone I was ready to go back to beeper”

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.

I wish you long life bro. Luv🖤

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣at I got so frustrated with phones I was ready to go back to beepers🤦👀🤣

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

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

The sneak diss at the end though that boy bad news lol

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 💪💪💯💯

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!!!

Good content 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I used to have a thing against Vlad interviews but dis 1 is top tier.

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

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