This man is perhaps one of the brightest gangsters/rappers I have heard to date. He’s real, and he’s smart enough to realize the truth between reality and the fake world of gangsterism.
If you have a choice from the get go like most do, why even get started rich or poor. Whether rich or poor life is more important than gang culture. Brother you will never own that block and most don't even own a house in their hood. While you including CB, you need to included yourself.
"Bentleys in the drive way, couple mil in the bank..ok let me go to the good and get shot at"...lmbo that's some real spit right there on cuzz...I see that shit too, shit is crazy! But I Damn near died from laughing so hard on how he told it
It's 100% true though, Tray Deee knows exactly what he's talking about. I was in. It's damn near a wash for their recruitment techniques honestly. "You can live this bad ass lifestyle and do all this awesome shit(which in truth some of it was pretty freakin spectacular, but there's a lot of it they don't warn you about, they let you find out on your own after you get in. I personally didn't get screwed over by some of that stuff but I knew guys that crashed and burned pretty badly because of it. And you can't just quit the military, gotta put in your time.
I'm born and raised on the westside of SouthCentral La. If you wasn't raised in your hood you aint from there period!!! We literally born in this shit, so we make it look good. I think ChrisBrown just fascinated by the top layer. But this shit get deep! I wish the best for cuh doe.
Marzello Music why are these niggas letting artists claim shit that they weren't previously affiliated with Back in the day this false flagging shit got handled
Never heard of this guy before in my life but he sounds pretty genuine and real so now I'm watching his interviews . Seems like a real OG with something to talk about
S/O to the bigg homie Tray Deee: a real West Coast legend and real authentic Triple OG. Glad he's finally home and can't wait for the new Eastsidaz project!
That's real talk coming from Tray Deee, the brother speaks with a lot of common sense and a sharp mind. Cats like Chris Brown could stand to take some truthful advice from him.
The fake thug thing is past out of control. As a grown man, I find these guys are only tough in packs and under store cameras, it's not cool. I'm currently trying not to show some fake crips that I'm not alone, even when I'm alone. At 35, I shouldn't have to prove anything to guys who have no history other than jumping people and no real dirt on their hands otherwise. It's a shame that the neighborhoods can't eliminate the trouble makers without being charged for it!
Sounds good🤔 u right but homes that's the perspective for the guy it works for. Not failing to mention, the shit u stated ain't wrong, I agree, but really tho, the "gang life" ain't that damn cliche. Fr homie if you ain't born or blessed in you getting sent off from the free throw ya dig? It's a misunderstanding of the ohilophy and logic like "pimpin!" I guess to sum it up Jo, certain s*** ain't supposed to be understood you ain't supposed to get it! you ain't got a membership. 🤷🏾♂️ But on the cool...you AIN'T WRONG. Just missing insight....similar to the average Joe's understanding of the illuminatie or spaceforce 😂🤔 stay thirsty my friend 😉
@@cnotefolk You have me all wrong, my friend. I know the street, and street people very well. My point was that there are many guys walking around fronting because of their membership in a gang. All gangs aren't full of hardcore niggas, and all gangs aren't full of guys that actually come from impoverished areas known as the ghetto. My point was those guys I was referring to wouldn't understand that I don't walk around playing a roll of what I understand all too well. They'd be the first to turn me in after being confronted by by my family and close friends that mainly reside in the ghetto/various projects where I'm originally from, plus spent a good portion of my life with little problem from actual hardcore niggas who have lead a life of doing shit the hard way. Those guys who we're acting tough in a rather nice suburb weren't who they were trying to fool people into believing they were. As far as who's born or blessed in, that's not my for me to find out when some obvious clown is attempting to put fear in my heart because of other clowns he's standing under a camera with at the time. All I know is where I was born into, and what family I come from. I'm no stranger to beef, nor to opportunities that some would never have because those who do certain things wouldn't fuck with the type of people who'd bring unnecessary bs their way.
They say TUPAC wasn’t a real thug! I’m confused cause he sure did act like one! I feel like Tupac would still be alive if he wasn’t trying to fit into “The Thug life”!
Ever since I met big homie, I knew how official he was. From his lyrical intent to his physical presence, I knew he was true as the soil he stands on. Now, to see him all the way 100 grown, offering up advice to another man he knows ain't built for what he went through, let's me know GOD is working in his life..... On top of that, I'm proud of Vlad for the dialogue we are all blessed to see on the video. GOD Bless...
YES u will always be a target” I was raised In southeast San Diego affiliated with a few gang bangers the area I lived in And yes I dated KILLAs when I was a youngster. I moved out the hood when I was 19 cause I wasn’t going to let my kids grow up in that environment,but there are some people that still call me Homegirl that still treat me like I live amongst a code and I don’t anymore cause that was years ago and I’m an advocate for Women. I’m grown ash Woman my values changed years ago I’ll always keep the G in it but I’m not about that life!
I always believed that any teenager or adult that dates a street dude is stupid as fuck. Mentally not stupid, but definitely emotionally retarded as fuck
If you're high right now and you're in some off shot town/city false claiming a gang I know hearing this man speak has got you shook right now. That gang life is not for everybody really anybody. Take heed to his words stay in school and become an architect or something.
👉Being rich first then claiming a gang isn't the problem. It's the fact that you didn't grow up bangin, actually living that life in the streets. Don't become a grown azz man, then start throwing up gang signs. Mack 10 got Lil Wayne bangin. The Game gets a pass from his brother. Ray J is an actor. Chris Brown?..... sit down😒
thats good man. Honestly no disrespect to the people who really find shelter in gangs..but its time we all unite for something positive and circulate the money amongst ourselves. Real talk.
From what I understand Baby, Juvie, BG, Turk etc were all gang affiliates before becoming famous. Wayne claims blood cuz of baby but was never involved in any type of banging etc he was a good kid. Don't quote me on this, it's just what I've heard.
If I saw him speak when I was a kid I probably would have chosen a different lifestyle I am now a grown man and I do a grown man do and work everyday but the only thing is when I was young I totally screwed up my criminal background and the jobs that I'm qualify for unlimited thank God that he blessed me with a particular skill set that is needed
Hey I got big ups for Tray Deee hey he has done work with my son on the General 3 Erik Lee he speaking real talk here it is what he is talking. He is from the LBC
I'm from Chicago, regular dudes didn't go to the jets, the West side or Englewood, bodies are dropping. The jets are torn down, but don't get caught lacking on the low end, over East, West, and father out South in the 100s...when you see little boys with poles in their pockets or down there leg...realize that shit it hot and they will pull it, if Chris Brown went to the hood and posted up he'd shit himself when them bullets start whizzing by because it's not a happy feeling at all to be looking at people and hearing one for hit and three look of his face while he's leaking out for the last time...if you bang you bang young and hope for a better life if you make it out!
Stone Love I’m from the Wild 100’s myself & can tell you that now it looks like the “Low End” 4Real !!! 115th & Michigan where Churches Chicken was is gone & now it’s a vacant log all the way to the railroad tracks 🛤!!!!
He's a triple OG. That's the wisdom that comes with surviving that long. Some change and grow, and some don't. You can usually tell them apart by who's still alive and who not or who's locked up and who's free. Spaceghost's name rang bells in the street now hes on some wrestling shit.. Can't do nothing but respect that. Lord knows I wouldnt be around if it wasn't for OG's lookin out. For that I'm I always be thankful..
But, in LOS ANGELES there is no protocol like there is on the East Coast. I mean if you're a OG in Los Angeles it just means you lived long enough to say you put on work & shit. But, over here on the East Coast/South side. Niggas got to earn OG status plus there's ranks you have to go through to get that type of stang. That's why I don't understand when niggas from California say niggas aren't official outchea on the East side. Niggas put in the same amount of work if not more. And bang for their colors/nation just as if not harder than the West Coast. I think Cali niggas should embrace the fact other states & cities took that shit in to make it national/Internationally known. Because, who's to say niggas in the UK don't breathe that banging shit as hard as we do over here in the states.
Carl Washington No argument here really. The west don't bang the same as it used to. Now these fools shoot civilians and call it puttin in work.. just stupid shit. No stripes if it wasn't enimigo's
Kris Brown Exactly. I also had the rare opportunity to grow up and hang with homies from both sides of the tracks. Some wern't really with the business and some was frontline monsters.. but either way aint nuthin cool about layin people you consider family to rest .. especially over bullshit again and again. 1 thing for sure its always the ones you got major love for who go first.. Most is internal conflicts you can't do shit about cause they brush it off as hood business.. but it's really just bullshit and jealousy.. that shit hurts the most.. Those are the kinda things that eventually change ones outlook .. real shit
yo respect to you ...Not to sound weird but N.O. is like no other place in the country period. It's not america down there and even by law (actually is french law)..NYC poor is new orleans rich. Real talk. and my fam is from the most violent area in nyc (Brownsville Brooklyn). Props to you and stay positive and remember the world is yours.
These interviews with Tray Dee should be required viewing for all rappers looking to come up in the game. You don't have to agree but, you have to respect what he is saying.
Everything thing he said was Truth.. But the realest shit he said was at the very end.... "You got enough foot soldiers for that.... That's why the homies always recruiting the youth, keeping that fresh blood in there, just like the military..." yep, that was damn sure right
Most folks who are in the streets hustlin, banging, pimpin. .are doing so out of a necessity to survive...they don't really want to be taking those chances. Ending up dead or incarcerated...who would want that life? Many gang bangers don't even venture outside their hood for fear of retaliation and when they are inside they gotta be down for the set or they get fucked up..who wants that life as a millionaire? Shit I'd be in the tropics or St tropez, dubai wherever straight chillin...
I really feel it has to do with wanting protection ..it makes sense.. why be rich and want to bang but the music industry can be just as crazy so has to be to feel secure.. but the again if you’re famous then you are a hugeeee target 🙏🏾
Zero Hoots Gang is more of a real thing than than the sets Chris Brown and Lil Wayne claim to have been affiliated with. But at least Lil Wayne has a "crew" whereas Chris Brown doesn't cause no one wants to be around him.
Let’s not act like Tupac isn’t the poster boy for starting this trend. He’s the first high profile celebrity entertainer who decided after creating a life for himself in film and music and being very successful at it that he’d start trying to affiliate himself with a gang at 25. This statement is gonna trigger some people. I don’t care.
Blame the gang bangers that chris brown be kickin it wit. They the one coo wit chris brown throwin up the set, reppin the set etc. Its just todays generation, a bunch of em wannab famous and attention whores and shit so they let chris brown do wat he does. Works both way they both wanna b affiliated wit each other. In the 90s u actually gotta b from the hood to be reppin the set. Da ogs wouldnt let this type of shit slide.
***** Fruit Town is Weak never do anything get smashed on by Crips and Ese's and even try to get protection from certain Crips,Fucc weak ass Fruit town.
deon cornell you can't be so wrong bro bro. FTB true its a small hood, but any surrat or crip come across that little square is getting knocked. The small hoods are the ones to be very careful of.
Shots Out to Tray Deee much respect to the OG thank you bruh for a stand up dude and taking a stance with these rich idiots that ain't been nowhere near the streets and spitting knowledge
