Hey man, this is my ex brother in law, used to go see him with his moms and sister. This guy gave a square dude from Austin TX a pass in the streets of the Town. Aside from that, he shot straight to me and educated me on life. He encouraged me to finish at Berkeley and do bigger things. Thank D. You'll always be my brother!

This is a very intelligent, articulate and self educated man, I believe in his new journey, he will change lives. I wish you the best Lil D, you are a ‘loyal’ man. It counts.

The whole interview, real talk this man does not have the lying home most ppl do he's strait up

I hope some of our young people hear this guys story and leave the bs alone.

I've never heard of this man but he's such a stand-up human being, not for what he did to go to prison or for going to prison. He's an amazing person for the growth he's had and his viewpoints on life and the way he talks about it that's all about telling kids what WILL happen to you instead of using it as his own time to shine. This entire interview, he's just a good man and I love the random smiles he does when Vlad is or isn't talking because it shows that he still has joy. Even when he talks about himself, it's not about drugs, it's about how he was able to develop a strong business mindset at an early age which I think can help other kids but in a positive direction.

Absolutely love this interview. He definitely should have a movie or tv series.

Amazing story. You did bad things (things to survive) but you served your time like a man. Much respect dude.

I'm from Detroit and knew all about the white boy Rick situation. I knew a lot of dudes and females in my hood who hung around and where part of YBI. I chose a different path in life. Lil D its because he is WHITE BOY RICK. Not black boy Lil D. They look at it as "our" story not being unique. They have the mindset that we are all criminals in their eyes. That's why there is no televised story....well most of them that used to be on America's Most Wanted or American Justice. Its a vicious cycle. But Im glad you are out. You seem to be such a nice person with a heart of gold.

Yo lil d he's does have light about him love you man keep up on the new path

A real business man.. don't want no heat want everyone to make money... bring everyone together.. no violence.. the NEGOTIATER 👊🏿

Amazing Interview Vlad!! S/O to Darryl "Lil D" Reed Finally a REAL MAN stood up for what "The Code" should have been in the Game

Welcome home LIl D!!! Vlad you a 💯 with me for this interview god bless

This is an amazing interview. Thank you Vlad and Lil D dropping gems.

Great interview, i've listened a lots of mob interviews but this is probably the best one or atleast one of bests. Great storyteller with these stories, u got it. I hope he got his life on the right way now, humble and great guy.

Live ya life Eastside D. Paid the cost to be the boss.

His street behavior and code was stand up in the gangsta sense. That draws street respect.

Second time I watched this I wish I was related to this guy love the message

How does someone become a crack king in late 80s Oakland and avoid violence. That’s unbelievably amazing this dude should be an ambassador or something

Love ❤️ Lil Ds story ! Wish him the Best and May he live 50 more years and keep his family with him so he can enjoy every bit of life !

When I watch these drug dealer interviews, it reminds me of when I was a kid...maybe about 13 or 14 and KRS1 dropped "Love's Gonna Get You." Growing up in New Orleans with all kinds of drug dealing going on, that song laid it all out for me clearly. Hearing these dudes 30 years later, saying it never ends well, and that it's not worth it, I thank KRS1 for making it clear to me as a kid. Music is powerful. It can build or destroy.
