NYC Hip Sing should have Kung fu school we used help them do CNY lion dance in the early 80’s.
You like H&K P7 too.
Replay 👑😊
Hey CGS gang gang❤. I have been hoping you guys will interview him since day one. As time went on here we are 🎉. Ordered his book and to see him healthy,no dementia😂 , I'm glad. Happy New Year 🎊. I'm not a social media person AT ALL... However I just saw the part 1 of Vlad's interview with kit gor ( everyone calls him kit jai , when people called him kit gor, he probably will say,"hey there, call me kit jai is okay:)." Anyways, so I started to read ALL the comments. I want to know. I want to know what people commented. Curiosity got the best of me.Fair right. This is a guy that I truly respected still do.He knew my father and my mom. And he got me out of troubles , and a true gangster with a big heart. The people that left bad comments over Vlad, they just do NOT know what they are talking about or they might be thinking that he's doing it for the BAG. However and whatever. Don't they know that he's doing All of this out of love, friendship,a promise between one man to another man (MM) he said it himself on this channel. This is the first "Asian Gangster" In NYC have an condo in uptown forty somin street and right across the street is the ONLY Asian LEGIT nightclub in Manhattan 金台北 the first "Asian Gangster" that drives a back to the Future DeLorean... Helping working class to pay there bill. Paying for food for the young man we call it back in the day.... the list go on and on. I knew once I started my comment I won't stop. My humble apology for this long axx comment. Last but not least. Good to see you Kid. Great to see you with full head of hair. The only difference is the last time I saw him, his hair was pitch Black and now is silver. It takes alot of courage to get the book of his solid. Knowing his expertise. I get it because it took also alot of courage for ME just to leave a comment. Brings back memories especially childhood with my family as well. Nothing BUT the best to CGS!!🎉 Nevermind about the people complaining about the quality, the sound 720 1080... What....ever .... OMG you subscribe to the channel you grow with the channel be patient with the channel do not complain about the channel please leave comments give advice... Thank you . Please kindly forgive me for calling him "Asian Gangster" He is a LEGEND, one Of a kind ❤ OH! This IS the first 📚📚📚 book, I hope ❤. Stay safe and stay healthy!!
True about the situation in the feds job is must
Really need to hear prison stories about Kid Jai.
Kid jai about to become famous again
Wow he knew Guy Fisher
The Gang code runs deep in him, you can tell by how he choose his words, approaching the question with caution because he knows exactly the consequences of power behind words, the way he approach the question between the chinese gang and the italian mafia, it seems like he do not want to ellaborate on that..im pretty sure he knows every detail of it. But like i said, he live his life by code and structures which they have once laid the foundation to, so its understandable that he do not want to approach those questions cos the gang culture they once laid the foundation to is pretty much still alive.. different names but same system and structure.
This channel has the potential to be something great - the topic is fascinating, the interviewees are interesting and animated - but the production value of these videos just SUCKS. Need better editing, subtitles, check audio levels, better mics, different cam angles, higher-res intro, etc.
The stories are what matter most. At the time I was focused on getting the stories and everything else was secondary. Many interviews including this one were done between 2017 to 2022. I have hundreds of hours of interviews that haven’t been released due to low audio and visual quality. Mitch will use those stories to create mini documentaries.
Check the disclaimer for this channel… I do have to say that production quality has gotten alot better within the past year than it was in the beginning.😂😂. Not bad for having no budget and having no knowledge of video production
Great interview Mike! Just wanted to ask if there will be any more discussions about Peter's connection with Vincent Jew prior to the 1984 President's Commission on Organized Crime. Also, wanted to know if Vincent Jew was with Danny "Ah Pai" Wong when he was hanging with Peter and the G.S. in New York in 1976.
@@FattyWalsh It’s all in his book “IN THE GHOST SHADOWS” You won’t be disappointed.
@@chinatowngangstories Thanks! I just pre-ordered the book.
I can listen to him all day.
I hope to hear more of United Bamboo. They don't really get talked about.
@@bentoblaster Stay tuned
Very interesting stories from Kid Jai, love watching your videos!
Great interview; the only person on camera should be the person being interviewed (Kid Jai). Thanks!
Riveting! Bravo!
One of the best interviews yet! You’re off to an amazing start this year!
The 1970's....super fly with the feather in the hat...right on man!!
Love this interview.. love the stories too.👏
Kid Jai should get on the Michael Franzese podcast
His on vlad tv
@@teengo6295 Oh wow you're right. VladTV dropped Part 1 today
I think you should sit across from watch other instead of next to each other, u don’t see other big podcast? They don’t sit next to each other, makes the podcast look more professional
Thanks for telling your story and having subtles ❤
Sorry it toook me so long 😤😤
Poor fjying dragon didn't have Alot to say about his part he looks very quiet and sweet
Love listening to the stories thanks for giving subtitles ❤
Wow, some really great stories here. Love hearing all the details. Thank you Peter Chin for sharing. I have no problem with the videos. It is fine.
I remember those days as a kid hanging out on Mott Street and have vivid memories of a bystander shot in the back inside a Doyer Street restaurant during a drive by. These hoodlums preyed on their own community and we were told never make eye contact if you didn’t want a beating.
@@hkraytai What year? I can’t find anything in the newspapers archive for an innocent bystander shot on Doyer St 70’s to 80’s
@ I think it was around 1975 or so? You know that bend on Doyer? There’s always a restaurant there. The bystander was a cook who was paralyzed from a bullet in his spine. Maybe it didn’t make the papers because he didn’t die. Anyway it was a long time ago and I was only 12. We were told to stay away from Pell. I’ll read the book to remind myself why. I had a cousin who lived on Henry St and he had to leave the state because he got involved with one of the gangs. We moved to Jersey shortly after that.
@@hkraytai I’m happy your parents had the means to move out of state. Some of us didn’t.
@ You know how it was with HK immigrants. They went to where the restaurant jobs were.
The video and audio quality is fine, no problem with it, dont know why people are complaining about it. Doing an awesome job, keep up the good work.
Great content,Thank you...any chance we get an interview with Peter and Kenny together ?
Can't wait to get the book 🔥🔥
The Mayflower coffee shop belonged to my in-laws in the 70s 😂 If you ever watched year of the dragon, there was a nice little scene in it
They had the BEST Cantonese Style Chow Mein. The ABSOLUTE BEST in all of Chinatown. I really miss that place.
@@yogitam2372 I used to just enjoy the red bean ice
@@yogitam2372 and don't forget Dor Hei on Mott off Hester. Best dim sum, even better than no.1 restaurant 😂
I did time with a flying dragon 🐉 he was a cool guy 😎💯💯💯💯
I remember seeing on the news when I was younger, a fight at a pool hall and they tried to drag this guy out of the place he some how got loose and got back into the place and the offed him in the pool hall do you guys know anything about that story
@@ryanmoore2447 Golden Q incident…late 80’s
@chinatowngangstories thanks for the speedy response can you do a story on it and a story on boy goerge from the Bronx link called fried rice if you know who that is and about the story
@@ryanmoore2447 a.co/d/fRcr1dQ Golden Q shooting
@@ryanmoore2447 Fried Rice is “COWBOY” on this channel.
@chinatowngangstories I heard him being brought up on unique mecca audio channel and they just knew the person as fried rice so I thought I would ask
Ask MC JIN’s Father onto the channel!
Quality is fine with me. And thank you for the quality content. Salute.
I just preorder the book but likes to get it signed from Peter how do I do that ?
Some real stuff here... most people can't even hear these stories. Who cares the video quality, you can listen as a podcast is fine too.
Good story
Great to hear you're mother tongue 😝 and have subtitles thanks ❤
Kid jai is very lucky to be alive with freedom to tell his story!
so theres no real interview or podcast? these are clips. get chinamac on there
You guys should ask China Mac to do an interview with Kid Jai since he mentioned meeting his father. It will also help bring more eyes to the interviews
We’ve been wanting the full interview with China Mac
@@johnc1873 he's busy in Vietnam and South East Asia. I wonder if he's finding his roots since fox was Viet I think
