I heard about this situation from all of my OG’s. They said that the Jamaican guys came to DC trying to take over. But the DC natives was not allowing it to happen that easy. They said that the Jamaican’s was no joke, they came ready to K!LL. It was a tough time back then, from what I was told. Respect to DC for holding they’re ground, Condolences to all that lost their life during that time…
Lost a GREAT brother in that situation up NW DC..RIP MIKE..BUT yes they came and SOLIDERS made them Jamaicans AWARE that NO SUCKERS was in the town..PERIOD
I was in jessup Maryland prison with a guy from the posse. He's a Muslim now, and taught me how to play soccer. Very humble guy, and I didn't know abt his past for abt 3 years until I read a don diva magazine. ✌❤
I was 13 and lived around Glenarden when this happened. They had the whole complex off the chain. My moms broke her lease to get away from there after a few months. It was crazy.
They was deep out Langley Park /Lanham basically Northern PG. I think a local comedian ran into them. Forgot his name but he mentioned it in a DJVlad interview.
Yeah Slim. Another Banger. I'm from 14th street upt D.C but move to Landover. Me and my brother thought Maryland was sweet but learned fast it was hoods everywhere
@@getwoke1148 yup that voucher is exactly what we used. my mother thought she was moving us away from the hood lol. but staying in da city was probably better for us.
Nice Work Bruh Keep Em Coming 💯 I’m From BrightSeat Rd ( Glenarden Apartments) Of course they torn down the hood it was wild out there…I’m a lil too young for the Jamaicans era but I heard some crazy stories from my OGs
The first I heard about DC was 90/91 from a chick who had to leave there and move back to NY. She told me it was super violent. RIP fallen soldiers and all innocents who got killed. 🙏🏾✌🏾
Yo bro it is nice to see you again back at work and it been a while for me because I had to get a new phone so I will be looking forward for your video stay strong bro
I come from the other side of this. All my friends from Flatbush Brooklyn were Jamaicans. I remember in 1990 my friend’s little brother went out to DC to work for some local Jamaican crew. They didn’t get killed though but they didn’t stay out there that long.
It's crazy how Philly n DC has similar stories when it comes to Street tales We had beef with them shower posse Brothers in the 80s when the jbm junior Black Mafia chased them out of Philly and shut them down. They was trying to run through Philly but we wasn't having it get down to lay down.
@@festusaniemeka3350 You are a bona fide dickhead did you know anything about the Philadelphia black mafia I suggest you do your research before commenting on my comment.
Big up yourself, your narrative is on point. The notorious SP. An the British link up. Dangerous set of Yaad man. On the other hand, got my headphones on couple rolled enjoying your video. 😤💨💨💯👊🏿
Slim this is another DOPE ASS piece…The Guy that was killed on Orange st was Lil Eric a yung fly money getting Ngga & My mother just moved us from around their to Windgates Apartments I was hella young during that time & infatuated by what I seen outside & what the Big Boys do Keep up the good work Slim
Same in philly they went to war with a organization out here that was called J.B.M get down or lay down. 90-92 trying to set up shop outside of the projects and certain hoods to cut dick. And steal customers
@@nightryda707 bro U slow if u think dc dudes was the one’s getting off they turned that whole city out everywhere they went they left blood if u ask them I bet they tell u dc was sweet compared to where they came from bro police got them out of dc or anywhere they went to they was priority bro dudes in the comments section don’t even know the story no dc dude that actually live through that era will say ya chased ‘‘em out of there because of a couple of body’s that’s completely false. Some of this clown dc dudes on here reppin they city like there is something going on there that isn’t goin in every inner city
@Bobby Flynn what your saying is a fact but the only thing is, I’ve said that in this video. I said “The posse’s had to worry about the locals, law enforcement, and other rival Posse’s… I also said they were vicious with the murders The proof is in the video with the guys that killed 5 people in in the apartment. Trust me I know they put work in
For the most part the dreadlocks set up in gray areas like Riverdale, like how MS set up in College Park. Landover was a jive ballsy place to touch down
Jamaicans left their mark all over the East coast. I heard stories about them in Boston back in the 80s. They was ruthless and didn’t care about prison or death. If you wasn’t Jamaican, you was food in their eyes. They was beefing with the Cape Verdeans in Boston and it got ugly. If they didn’t get deported 20 at a time, they would be running a lot of shit on the East coast! Thing is they came from those political wars in Jamaican and were trained to kill. So they come out here and it was like taking candy from a baby until the locals started fighting back.
From 88 - 90, DC and parts of PG were a damn killing zone shit was off the chains. People who didn't grow during that time really don't understand it's not like we talking Chicago, LA, NY, etc man DC is smaller than Brooklyn!! You're bound to run into all the cruddy, grimey, backstabbing scoundrels and shit everybody had guns back then!! Them Jamaicans had spot in Belle Haven apartments in Landover shit was like New Jack city (those who know know...) Great content - I salute all my comrades who made it through and to all who were lost may your soul rest in peace.
@@davesylvindeckerii4528 Not a lot of crews in PG most of the PG dudes was in DC back then. Like Landover, Seat Pleasant, Capital Heights etc. were so close to DC that them dudes got bread in the city. Jamaicans had part of PG in a choke hold
@@daoldballcoach7472 so basically places like cap heights seat pleasant etc. didn’t play wit the Jamaicans same way the City ain’t cuz I as a local MD dude growing up used to hear half the city niggas call MD niggas soft and I’m talking the parts u mentioned
@@davesylvindeckerii4528 Yeah man them Jamaicans dudes brought Uzi's and Tech 9's to the game it was not joke - we used to call them "Md Bama's" all this DMV crap flowing today was dead back then. PG has some killa's most of them ran in DC. DC Dudes normally had hide out spots or some chicks in PG to escape the drama in DC.
@@daoldballcoach7472 yea u right those parts of MD are right outside of DC wit the main roads like Georgia ave benning road central Ave etc. as far as the dmv title originally it was only called the DC area or DC and MD they were always connected one way or another
I was 12/13 at this time living in Landover about 3 miles from where this happened! The whole DMV was a war zone back then….I remember a day at Columbia Park rec, some guys from DC threatened to kill Jay Bias and take him across DC line to add to the murder rate! I was scared out my mind! Still have PTSD from growing up in the DMV.
Great work you're producing of our city ! I wanted to know if you were gonna do a piece on the alleged 8th and H street crew who was falsely accused of a horrific crime in the 80's
They came to DC in the mid to late 80's....they couldn't fist fight at all🤣, but they would fire that nine quick....they were too damn wild,and gradually dissappeared....city under siege would show most of the murder scenes,after the 10 o'clock news....Aye, I Never thought this would be on the fckn internet
They tried to take over philly around the same time. Didn’t end good for them. Shower posse I think they were called it was a big war in philly around 90 92. Got to give it to them crazy ass Jamaicans tho they was coming back just as hard
Glenarden side of Brightseat Rd. Not the Landover side. Maple Ridge Apartments. Right across the street from Landover Mall. Right next to Glenarden Apartments.
I lived in Landover around this time.....King Square 2.5 boy do I have stories......lets just say they was kicked out and left to go behind PG Plaza lol
I use to hustle in that neighborhood back then it was called village in the woods directly across the street from Landover mall. Back then it wasn't no IHOP only hot shops. Shit even I got shot 7 times
The posse is an old dinosaur story, I'm from NYC where they were heaviest, they don't exist anymore, their story stops at 1991, there's no stories after that. Delroy uzi Edwards is in prison crying into a 30 year sentence, never coming home, someone did a recent video how he's trying to keep sane due to boredom in supermax ,not worth it,he probably didn't even ball a full 5 maybe 3,4 years most. The black mob from Philly said their clowns because they all snitched while black mob stood tall, streets is wack
@@kaylatroutmantroutman2856 I was teenager 14 messing with them guys on grass like 95. I believe the ma or auntie had restaurant around there. The guys I knew been deported. They stayed Apts around ford's lane
@@jojofreelancer1210 thanks for the info!! I didn't know too much about Park Heights area until mid 90's but it's good to know! I was born & raised on the eastside. My Uncle was west he hung out with Lil Melvin. Lil Melvin actually spoke at his funeral.
@Festus Aniemeka lmao you must be a Shower Posse Cheerleader look here slim it’s been well documented that them bammas were in with the CIA how the hell do you think they were coming into play with high powered American assault weapons plus them niggas were snitching as well. I’m from Trinidad NE born and raised don’t believe the hype that these dudes just came into local areas just praying upon local residents and streets crews like Robocop trust me them Jakes tried but failed yeah they tried to muscle there way in and it cost them a lot of deaths by trying 💯
I remember this …..the DMV was never as violent as it is until the Jamaicans started pumping around here,after them? Shit it’s still going on….I remember the name “Kirk Bruce” to this day for some reason
@@stldsfine there was one guy that were looking for them. I have the news article, I’ll probably talk about it on part 2, but he didnt get to them - the feds caught him and locked him up with some guns. He was trying to do some damage
The feds were on the Jamaicans in the late 80s and were busting the operations all over that's why they didn't flood DC I'm have an all-out War unless the real it was the Jamaicans remove the Italia's Italians from the drug game
How the fuck do you survive 2 headshots??? Man what??!!! I believe in God even more for sure. 2 headshots???? People barely make it off 1. Blessings to her.
I use to live in Mayfair the Jamaicans had beef with the NY black guys down Mayfair in the mid 80's the Muslims moved them out but the Jamaicans were everywhere when I was a lil jit
I'm from 14th and Newton DC uptown I grew up around that time and we stood our ground back then if u had dreads u were a target dats why when I got lock up in 2000 did 5 yrs in feds yungins from city coming in wit dreads talking about dat was da style. I was shocked when I went in u got killed if u had dreads
My brother was one of the person that was killed Donnie if fuck me up for years because I was the one he talked too and than he left the house I wouldn't have thought that would have been the last time that I see my brother continue to rest peaceful my brother love you
Yea DC always been treacherous. New York, Baltimore, Dc and Philly were some cities that you couldn’t just go to and set up shop like some other places. You couldn’t even go there to party if you was flashy and nobody knew you. You would get robbed eventually and you would be lucky if you didn’t get smoked.
I remember back in the mid 80's early 90's when the Jamaicans tried to take over in Richmond Virginia that didn't end so well. Don't get me wrong they bodied niggaz too but majority of them didn't make it
Uzi Edwards recently came up on one of these hood channels, he's crying, going somewhat crazy in prison from boredom, these guys are not to be idolized, wasted life, in 30 years so far, balled out probably 3,4 years at most
They had members all over United States including places like Alaska I wouldn’t be surprised if they were in all 50 states they also had members in Canada and England aswell
Peace,I tell niggas all the time,out of everybody that came to try and take over our project the Jamaicans was the only ones to have a little success,this real rap,last day of school in 89',we get off the school bus it's a nigga in the middle of the street busting a shot gun,I seen a lot of shit growing up,but for a unknown nigga to be doing that shit in J.Ward was unheard of,they had bt a 2 month run,but niggas was at they ass,the main nigga name was small man,don't know if that really was his name but that's what we called him,I seen niggas flip his car shooting it up,that nigga got out the car and said,u can't kill me,the run was coming to a end at that point, Richmond,Va.was approaching murder cap the next year,but them niggas were smart they ended up not far from our project in these apt.nobody hung in,they were ragged as hell,but that's were they ended up at,was to easy to get at them then,real life
@@nightryda707 these are foot soldiers groups of ten, u all have stories but it ain’t that deep. the feds dealt with the yardies, we don’t run from war.
I was born n raised around Mayfair in NE DC & I remember my folks used to tell me stories about da Jamaicans back in da 80$... I remember when da Nation of Islam used to secure the neighborhood in da 90$
The issues in DC - unlike NY - is that there are relatively small immigrant groups and most of them hail from the elite (they’re in DC for diplomacy/government/international affairs), so the poorer elements can’t blend in like NY and don’t have a native client base for the drug game. Thus they resort to trying to work into DC’s native black population and forget to play by those rules and get got! That’s not to say those Jamaicans, Panamanians and PR were not thorough dudes - they was just totally outnumbered and didn’t know the lay of the land so they had nowhere to run when shit got hot.
