@Jabari Hayes with folks like you around, Im not sure why they didnt make it a 4 segment series. In Russia this is big, and it goes 20 series segments sometime. I hope the movie at least long like casino - 3 hours..
Jabari Hayes
I hope so. He's a good young man and looks exactly like Meech.

Crack cocaine did everything it was set out to do, and it was for what those in power expected it to do.
There have always been a powerful governmental force behind every endeavor in any Black community in America,
when it came to coming together forming or organizing on a national level. Whether it was negatively or positively but mainly negatively Period....
Why? because according to Cia and others we were just another experiment for their political and beneficial gain.
And also the victim of world wide character assassination always in any assembly were exploited for the gains of others in this country. Meaning there's always a underlying goal whenever were brought into public view.
In reality there's no black organization that can be formed without government approval period.
That goes for gangs as well that's how MK Ultra was first initiated and tested on our peoples daily.
It was mandatory that these things happen in poor communities soley for the purpose of profit and to remove freedoms as well while pushing for slavery through incarnation and how conveniently state laws were imposed to fit the bill. I know there are those who may feel otherwise but in my research and study this is just the information that I was lead back to through intuitive thought and good common sense.
We are the food source for smarter and more powerful criminals. Remember this the best criminals make the law's and control what you see and how you view your reality. ✌

Not everyone knows what it is like to be in the grimy for real. Not till he survive gun shots, tested from goons. Running deliveries, try to escape. This is well done.

As a white guy thats lived up in the sticks all my life, the first 5min-13sec is JAW DROPPING, how he describes how projects are built like prisons. I'm like what the f***!!!

Money isn't everything....
This man nailed it on the head when he said "God never left you", I know I left him when I was using. I only thanked God when the cops didn't find my stash. I am 19 months sober today after fighting an addiction that was so strong and evil for 15+ years. That way of life for me is not what I want to be remembered for. I'm given this opportunity to be somebody and help another addict who needs a chance who deserves to feel hope and find peace in their minds and become a productive person. It's available to us all but you have to put in the work, freedom isn't just given to you because you want it, you have to fight to keep it. ODAAT y'all that's all we got. Be kind to one another, be generous with you words of praise and uplifting, we all have struggles but we don't have to do it alone. Find your freedom live sober and embrace change. #LiveNLetLive 💜✌🏽😁💯

The Truth Is The Truth
They shot Big Meech in the ass while he was running away and left the real G's like Wolf to get merked? He was a real hood hero.
The Truth Is The Truth
@Beb - By all means, Wolf put his life on the line night after night to protect guys in strip clubs, with way more ego that they had balls and it cost a good dude his life over some stupid stuff.
Beb
Wolf was a solid figure! Wolf was a real man of Respect

Just listening to this brotha was very inspirational to me. He was right. Pain is pain. It ain't where you're from it's where you're at. I'm proud of him. He is a role model for any young person out there no matter their color. I think everyone needs to see this. God bless you my brotha. I'm glad you got your life back together.
Shawn Gee
Thank u for this...I am 43 and my mom was addicted to crack for over 15 years after my father was murdered in the 80's. I saw so much stuff as a kid myself I am also blessed to be here sane today.
Thank God my mother eventually became clean and became my best friend. Regardless of her life style then she was still my mom.
She just passed 3/28/2020 from covid-19...but best believe she was a strong woman.🙏🏾❤💖🥰👭🏽

This is a great documentary. Jabari what class were you at Morehouse. You should really look at joining The Wise Men Group. We look for men like you to help change the lives of others. It's a real brotherhood and we make a lot of money together. www.TheWiseMen.co. I'm class of '03. I remember a Jabari. I don't think it was you though. Great testimony bro.

*like **#14K** range* And for some reason this documentary caught my eye from the side bar.
And I was past watching it because I know this story all too well, so I thought.
And for some reason I found myself clicking on it, and I'm wondering to myself, I thought you weren't gonna watch this?
And for some reason everyone in this documentary I feel like I met them, some how, some way.
Thank you brotha for continuing to build upon your life, your son's life, your mother's life, and your brother's life as well as all of your friends.

That man said meth trailer and Willacoochie, Ga. so I know he has been there and there is hope. Any kid that can latch on to this man's tutelage should jump on it!
Kevin Burnes
When they confiscated the $500k in MO. and took him to jail and then just let him out, what was the deal. Cops kept the money? What's the rub??
Vandal Eyes
Travelling with money isnt illegal- he played like he didnt know it was there- the cops "seized" it- knowing it most likely came from some illegal shit- good luck getting it back- even if you were legit- theres stories all over about people losing their own money they worked for, showing proof, and not getting it back- its a scam- and shocking, they get the newest toys for the police department with all that money...kinda ironic, dont you think??? If they cared as much as they say they do, then BURN THE MONEY- it doesnt matter right??? Thats what i thought

Im so glad this popped up on my newsfeed. I have been waiting for this full documentary for about 2 years when i first saw the snippet. Great job, Jabari! Im rooting for you, brother. ✊🏿 From Detroit, MI

Thanks Jay E. We are going to what we can to help others and share our narrative of the experiences we go thru.
MrAddidas2
See these are the types of ppl who should have their stories told. I hate when someone is tryna drop a jewl and they haven't ever walked in ur shoes.
When one really lives that life the authenticity radiates.
And 2 the maker/makers of this doc. Quality in-depth work. Great Job.
Jabari Hayes
Mr. Addidas2 I appreciate your insight. It's important to have credible messengers to tell the story so someone else can benefit.
Upstanding Citizen
Great film. One small thing from the beginning, Jabari is wrong about the bars on the windows in the projects. He says there are bars on the windows in the projects but not in good Manhattan neighborhoods. Bars are required by law in New York if a child lives in the apartment. Many children, rich and poor, in NYC died falling out of high rises (including Eric Clapton’s son), those bars were demanded by community activists after so many kids died.
LaconicTV
@Upstanding Citizen I've never seen bars on a non project in Manhattan. Point is, the state/government always has a way of doing something and saying its for the good of the people but that's another conversation. But think about it, looking out your window and seeing bars over time has a way of having a different affect on people. Its just like us seeing cops murder black people online so much we're now becoming desensitized when seeing it. It's the same thing with bars on windows in the projects. If you've never lived in the projects you wouldn't understand why people like Jabari and myself who have that outlook on the bars.
Upstanding Citizen
@LaconicTV I grew up in a non-project apartment in Manhattan and I had window guards growing up, so I dont know what you mean. Sorry I just don’t think child safety bars are put on project windows “to prepare kids for prison.” Those bars saved a lot of inner-city kids lives: “A 1971 study found that 201 child fall deaths occurred from 1965-1969 during May through September, and 123 of the deaths, 61 percent, were falls from windows. A large number of those incidents occurred in low-income neighborhoods with poor housing quality in the Bronx and Manhattan.” www.reuters.com/article/us-health-children-window-guards/new-york-citys-window-guard-policy-tied-to-fewer-falls-and-deaths-idUSKBN1HX2VC
LaconicTV
Soooo you're saying there are no kids living in the apartments/condos in Manhattan?

love this!! jabari, what an inspiration
Jabari Hayes
Thank you Lonnisha! Trying to inspire and motive so many others with my story.

First 10 minutes is deep definitely takes the glory away from the dope

@Jabari Hayes I liked it alot
Jabari Hayes
Buzzwire we wanted to make sure we told the full story and didn't glorify the life. Thanks for checking out our film.
Gayle Foster
This has to be the most significant work and storytelling out there and should be incorporated in every curriculum in high school and college humanities.
LaconicTV
Gayle, that is one hell of a compliment. Thank you!
Jabari Hayes
Thanks Gayle Foster. We are preparing to bring our narrative to the schools. It's important that they see or hear the stories from someone who lived it so they can make antoher choice.

Andreee Whitfield
That's the way to be ... keep your personal life separate 23 minutes and 12 seconds I'm loving every bit of this oh yeah blessings today mother for overcoming that mother f****** drug
Andreee Whitfield
I wish this generation would watch an learn that the streets don't love you just what they can benefit from you and then after that it's kind of like the mob do when they feel no use of you no more you go sleeping with the fishes I'm 37 and I could have did this same type of living but I seen homies go to jail die get shot or heard about them getting shot so I took a different route and a different approach but this is history for the books. And I'm only seven minutes into this film this is good food for thought

Lucinda Reese
Crack destroyed people all across this country during those times.
LaconicTV
@BigHomieMac34 yes he did say that. And the fact of the matter is, Meech was highly intelligent in the way he structured his business. He changed 2 cultures and innovated the drug game. You can't do that and not be smart. But Meech and other drug dealers didn't destroy black families, the government who put the drugs in the communities did that. The people that chose to use the drugs did that. Drug dealers didn't force anyone to take the drugs. I'm not supporting drug dealing, but the people who chose to use the drugs are more responsible for their actions and all the blame shouldnt be on them.
BigHomieMac34
@LaconicTV He continuously calls Big Meech one of the smartest people he knows, but he doesn’t call out the callous criminality that has killed and wrecked black families across Amerikkka.
LaconicTV
@BigHomieMac34 Please explain at which point the film glorified drug dealers? We'll wait.
BigHomieMac34
I'm tired of these people glorifying these drug dealers.
