U know what James? I haven't been glued to a podcast like this for a good minute. Great guest and a true man gene is. Wish him all the best and his family.
Gene Deal is one man that I've been listening to regarding the P.Diddy thing, and I can quite honestly say that, in my opinion, he speaks the truth and he's just the most interesting man to listen to.
If a man is getting emotional and tearing up 25 years later and you can see him going through it like it was yesterday, yea I agree with you a thousand percent.
I hear that and I believe him but he think he knows everything and a lot of the stories he wasn't there. I def believe he's sincere in what he believes though
Your questions made me realize that I knew nothing about Gene and I’ve seen all his interviews. Other interviewers just asked him surface questions about his life but mostly his interactions Great job 👏🏾
He’s a brilliant interviewer, other shows they don’t go into the depth James does, he’s got a gift for being able to get people to open up to him on a very personal level, great communicator, great interviewer
Since i been listening to Big Gene telk his side of the stories, he have been telln the Same storys since day 1, and it has never changed! A man who keeps his story in flow, speaks truth!
THIS IS THE BEST INTERVIEW I HAVE SEEN WITH GENE , HE LOOKED RELAXED, CONTENTED, I FINK YOUR COMMUNICATION SKILLS ARE FIRST CLASS, BRINGING OUT THE TRUTH, BEST IN PEOPLE, SO INTERESTING BUT VERY SAD, WAS TOTALLY HOOKED, THANK YOU BRILLIANT BEST SO FAR
I don't see him as genuine. He was a former police officer and a mandated reporter of abuse. He witnessed abuse and did not report it, but now he wants to tell all about it.
I’ve seen him been interviewed, it all makes sense his experience almost destroyed him very emotional the more he talks about it, it’s therapeutic for his healing
I've watched a lot of Gene's videos, and this is the first time that I heard about his childhood. Thank you for asking these tough questions. I can relate to Gene as far as my mother leaving, and we had 6 siblings. I didn't meet my mother until I was 30
I agree. Talking about his upbringing was a shock! How can you not see the truth about a man until you know where he came from. Good interview. Thank you
@@ThatGirlKInArtetashetrusts literally every guest he says, he always goes back to the start. Why exclude this time? That would be weird as if there was something to hide. I found it interesting to hear more about his work and how that impacts upon his work with diddy and others. Before i did not realise how his work impact fitted with how he is as a person.
15mins in & ive never heard Gene this relaxed,i can tell this is gonna be one his best interviews to date, your really good at opening ppl up James, from bodyguards to criminals to police, honestly the best interview i have seen him do by miles, a bit more about him than revealing secrets about the individuals which hes already done Alot elsewhere.
I repeat my stories almost perfectiy and some people still call me a liar. It's wild how weirdo trolls will study every word he ever said on every interview, just to find something they can call me a liar in. Goofy AF.
@@gunnerdetroitthat’s because they are probably liars themselves, when someone accuses you of something they’re really looking in a mirror and outing themselves
@@MsFifi11c that's true. Since they are full of shit, they expect everyone to be. I think it's more like they have never done anything in life, and jus can't believe anyone who has
Thank you Gene Deal for continuing to help people! It takes a certain type of person to put other people's safety before his own. Then and Now!!! Hope your showered with the Good Karma you deserve 👍🏻❤️
@@JamesEnglish 🙏🏾Love this channel! 🙏🏾Love this episode! You've got another fan. 🥳 Also, love your accent. Reminds me of the show The Book Group [set in Glasgow]. Very inspirational show.
Hi James this interview was one of my faves, you asked the BEST questions as an interviewer💯 @GeneDealShow I watched ALL your interviews but this one🥹First time I see you, such a soldier, choked up holding back those tears about not being able to save Big and blaming yourself, I damn there choked up with you. Everyone needs a BigGene in there life man, Gene a Real 1💯
People that didn’t live through that really don’t know how crazy that time was. When Biggie got killed, the entire hip hop and rap music changed within months. That was the beginning of Lil Wayne and so many other people got on. it was just crazy how it was at that time. And I live in NJ so I been right here this whole time. I can still feel the feelings of what those days were like.
Lil Wayne wasn't that known nationally and internationally in the late 1990s, breh. Jay-Z is who got much bigger and DMX entered the scene big as well. Lil Wayne's fanbase was mostly the South until the late-2000s. He didn't even chart overseas before then. "Lollipop" is when he became a superstar.
That's true after Tupac and Biggie deaths after that it was Jay-Z and Cash Money clowns talking about bling bling bullshit PLEASE let's get back to writing lyrics again.
Love listening to Gene Deal in this type of setting. Like the interviewer asking straight forward, respectful questions and getting out of the way to let his guest speak there peace. That's what the really good interviewers do.
Mate, u've absolutely smashed it with this 1. I like how it's totally out the box and unexpected. Making moves like this is what seperates u from the rest and again takes u up another level in the media game💯💯
It always makes me laugh when street dudes from the states come to the UK and meet people from different races here and then realise it’s a whole different kettle of fish and we’re cool and not segregated by race in the same way it is in the states brits regardless of race take you for who you are and if your cool we’re cool it’s just a whole different culture over here. It’s why in the 50’s and 60’s when Motown artists came over to the uk they loved it saw that 80% of brits don’t care where you’re from which is the complete opposite to how it works in the USA and what most of these guys are used to. I’ve been following Gene for a minute and can tell he’s a down to earth genuine guy. This is probably the most relaxed I’ve seen him in a interview you can tell he appreciates iand respects James for asking him about him and being genuine with it as opposed to in the US where they only care about the gossip and what they can find out about other people from him. I wish nothing but the best for Gene. Wish him all the best from the UK 🇬🇧💯
Um ? You aren’t American so don’t act like an expert on our culture /sub cultures. I’ve been to the UK several times and you guys have your own issues as well as racism. Stop criticizing the United States - especially when all Your celebrities come here to become millionaires
As an American, it’s sad because the establishment wants us to have division, but I think it’s way past damn time and we are coming together more than ever. It’s a hell of a lot better than it was. At a time where they want us divided, and I think for political purposes, people are waking up and seeing the bs for what it is. I hope it keeps improving, they can’t keep us fighting and down forever! Things are changing, and I’m thankful for that! Not everyone in America feels that way, or acts that way, especially those of all of us Americans who don’t buy into the bs. Love one another. ♥️ We all bleed red and we are all in this life together, just trying to make it. 🇺🇸♥️ And we are NOT all segregated like the original poster is trying to make it look, respectfully. The real true people don’t have division. The original poster is trying to make it seem like we are in the 60s, we aren’t.
You think there's no racism in Britain? Wow. And when you say you've been following Gene for a minute, does that mean a long time or literally 60 seconds?
You’re the man James. You give people space to open up. It’s a gift, well, it shouldn’t be, it should be something that we are all given in conversations however it’s been lost in the media… we get one or two sound bites or edited snap shots twisted to paint people one way or the other. Offering people space to talk is invaluable.
Puff has never sat right with me. When biggie died he threw himself right into the spotlight. It was too much. He wanted his spot. Period, end of story.
The only podcaster worth watching,, such a natural And down to earth,, you can talk to anyone,, brilliant,, well done you for all the hard work you put in,, its very much appreciated xxxx
I loved this enter view in its entirety. Gene Deal is genuinely a great storyteller and an amazing human being. I could sit and listen to him tell stories all day. I’m definitely going to get his books. Thank you for being such an amazing interviewer. Thoughtful and insightful questions. I loved that you allowed him to speak without interruption. Great job, kudos to you. 🥰
I jus watching this in awe! Stunning revelations of a crazy era. Seriously one the thee most fascinating conversations I've heard. Total props to James and Gene...
This was the first time I've ever seen anyone talk to Gene about himself. The chitlin circuit shows he's usually on only care about the gossip. This was a cool interview.
My 2 fav fellas right here , Gene has been talking the truth about diddy for years , no one listened , he’s continued to do so despite the backlash he’s had for speaking out , they listening now though aren’t they Gene, not for personal gain , because it’s the right thing to do James , you brought us Sammy the bull Gravano and now Big Gene Deal, you’re in another broadcasting dimension now fella , Respect
This was a great interview. Better than I was expecting indeed. Gene you can genuinely see every time that brotha speaks he’s speaking from the heart & soul without any lies added in ✅💯
God bless you, Mr. Gene. You have spent your life helping others, you’re still helping others. I hope you get to spend all the time with your kids that you lost. You deserve the world. I bet your poems are beautiful. I’m sorry for the trauma you endured. ♥️
This was the first interview that i've watched and have walked away understanding Gene "the man" as opposed to the bodyguard. Finally, someone who can interview properly by listening, engaging with the interviewee, and is skilled in going off of script with the questions. He listened to the stories and asked questions that expounded on what Gene describes in his stories. This was a conversation.
Well done James brilliant interview with Gene. I was doubting watching it as seen him on various American platforms but you got so much more out of him than others did & made him more relaxed
I've seen many interviews with Gene and this is the best one I've seen! Also, it breaks my heart when he was talking about Biggie's passing and the guilt he had for years about it. Biggie had horrible people around him especially Diddily!!
Big Gene has been saying the same thing since I first seen him in 99. Puff learned it from Clive Davis, Jesus is coming back soon and all will made right. GOD BLESS you Big Gene and the rest of yinz
Find it interesting that this interview was done six months ago. And now all this has basically been outed! Great interview I’d love to see you do an interview with ally Carter. That victim needs an honest voice.
2pac/2poc 😂 This is such a brilliant interview with big Gene. His description of many muti-layered, character heavy stories never changes, he is the real 'Deal' 👍
You have to believe Gene on 99% of this shit. The guy is in tears 25 years later reliving this night. I mean, this is facts that he’s layin out all these times over and over STILL tearing up on the 1000th time telling the same version of events NEVER changing a word. Verbatim.
I really like how the interviewer ask Gene important questions about why would Diddy said that "Tupac got to die, Biggie got to die and Suge goes to prison" which I never heard anyone that interview Gene asked that question not even VladTV.
Love listening to G he’s genuine watched many of interviews with him he tells it every detail no lies the death of big hit this man big time he knew puffy had played them so just hope he lives long and well and stays blessed ✌🏻
What I don’t understand is why Usher would take a young Justine Bieber to this monster house knowing what he knew and witnessed like a lamb to the slaughter Shame on Usher!
YES, AGREE 💯%👍🏻 I've watched many interviews with Gene on these issues, but this was much more informative, interesting, and calm. Thats all thanks to the host asking the right question and then allowing his guest to answer without interrupting!!! Also I LOVE the accent ❤️
Heartbreaking stuff! Pac fan since I was a kid and this is the first time I've seen him and Big as real people, amazing insight to their reality. Top interview from you James well done
BIG GENE HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH TAKE HIS WORD TO THE BANK, THIS CHANNEL IS BLESSED BY THE BEST, GENE REPRESENT AND DO WHAT YOU DO REPRESENT AND EMBRACE THIS JOURNEY AND THIS MISSION YOUR ON 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Brilliant interview. You teed up short, simple questions and let the guest speak. Big Gene's story makes me glad that I live a boring life. lol. There is so much sadness in that level of fame and fortune.
U know what James? I haven't been glued to a podcast like this for a good minute. Great guest and a true man gene is. Wish him all the best and his family.
Thanks
Ya I know me too I think my family think I’m crazy lol 😂

Agreed, and his stories don't change. I really respect Gene
Your questions made me realize that I knew nothing about Gene and I’ve seen all his interviews. Other interviewers just asked him surface questions about his life but mostly his interactions Great job 👏🏾

I never thought about it but same here. You’re 100% correct.

It's the truth since 1997

Also, what a protector and genuine fellow Gene is. Everyone needs a Gene in their life.

Im only halfway through and its already even better than i thought it would be. I hope we see more Gene. Great dude.
👍🏼
Great guest James, didn't know this guy until this podcast, need part 2.
A conversation doesn't flow so effortless when its foundations are lies.
I’ve seen him been interviewed, it all makes sense his experience almost destroyed him very emotional the more he talks about it, it’s therapeutic for his healing
..and he's making money off it and talking years after the event instead of dealing with it at the time
Gene deal is as real as it gets been watching him for a while ! He knows a lot and always speaks the truth
You're an absolute clown 😂
I've watched a lot of Gene's videos, and this is the first time that I heard about his childhood. Thank you for asking these tough questions. I can relate to Gene as far as my mother leaving, and we had 6 siblings. I didn't meet my mother until I was 30
Yes. Very revealing in deed!!

@@jshaw4757 your right, its good to hear him talk like this

What I don’t understand is why Usher would take a young Justine Bieber to this monster house knowing what he knew and witnessed like a lamb to the slaughter Shame on Usher!
That’s how they keep it going. Making prey into the predator
Alot of these people need to be exposed and reconsidered.
Shame? Jail, more like.

Brilliant interview. You teed up short, simple questions and let the guest speak. Big Gene's story makes me glad that I live a boring life. lol. There is so much sadness in that level of fame and fortune.
Much love for this one lads 🎉
