Awesome 👏 video bro. I had been subscribed to Unique’s channel but I like how you did this video about him & his life in the game. He mostly talks about his experiences in the penn. Man he’s had a life that only a real “G” could survive. A true “OG”. Much respect 🫡 to Unique!

@pebdo1929 Год назад

insane content man, you upgraded from the podcasts to even pushing more content in forms of those real life reviews and visits. I personally like the podcasts more but feels good to know that your actually putting in the work instead of sitting there once a week and just talking. Been here since Episode 1. Good Job bro keep pushing like you did 15 years ago

@HIGH_noon Год назад

@@RackemDawg the ignorant are quick to slap the term "racism" onto this idea/concept... but the wealthy powerful elite who have had family ties since this country started always knew that black ppl could one day become a real problem or threat because of what they went thru... probably why they are fucked over in 100 diff ways to this day. its crazy thinking yeah probably did set them back 50 or however many years and when you look at the time period 70s-80s, literally right after the jim crow 60s when they fought and got the rights to begin with... goes back to my orginal statement above the government and elite know black ppl could one day rise to a level of power and control and if that happens they will be the ones in the crosshairs.

@RackemDawg Год назад

@@HIGH_noon I grew up in a poor area. It was older whites in the 80s and became 90% black by the time I graduated HS. I learned about CIA drug smuggling before 9/11. Some of them were from Baltimore and other northern cities. They always told me that our little podunk town in the south wasn’t half as racist as up north. If you ain’t breaking bread together, you ain’t trying.

@tawandahaulcy8700 Год назад

Is this the only content shared or is the interview longer? If not this video breaks my heart. Why are we making this lifestyle seem so glorious like some kind of achievement. Look at the destruction all around. Why aren't these individuals coming back and sharing about all the destruction caused & the horrors . Why aren't they sharing about lessons they learned from the mistakes they made. Why aren't they sharing how they turned their life around and what it took to do that. Why don't we show them making it their mission to keep children off the street. Share about that. This just baffles me.
