James Prince, founder of Rap-A-Lot music in Houston talks frank and honestly about the Empire he built. He also addresses recent controversies that have made headlines!
Man that's how you do it! People respect his "gangsta" but what about his business savvy?!?!? M.S.I.. Multiple source Income! Condoms ,music, cattle ranch,real estate, investments!!! Have your money work for you not the other way around!!!True BOSS, young dude from the hood that made something out of himself! Salute to ya J.Prince!
Yeah one thing I learned is the TRUE Gangsters and Mob Figures like Big Meech are the soft spoken voice type of dudes. The dudes who look and act Average... James Prince has that silent killer vibe of him. You see these "real gangsters" being rappers and all acting like they actually sell dope.. Then you got people like him who kind of play both sides on some Gus from Breaking Bad type shit. Not saying James Prince Sells dope or launders money or some shit but there's a certain Vibe from Family men you don't fuck with. It's the type of dudes who smile ear to ear and show you pictures of their kids, laugh at your jokes, but push them a certain way and you end up in a bad situation you can't save or apologize your way out of.
Herb Garcia Minster Louis Farrakhan has that same Gangsta like vibe but he's an Older Muslim man.. However he got that Malcolm X vibe.. Humble and righteous but will fuck you up if you come incorrectly.
+Julian Prince james prince is THE GODFATHER of houston rap. nothing happens in the southern game without getting the "nod" from Prince. He speaks soft but carrys a BIGGG stick
Ray Johnson I remember meeting him when I was a intern at def jam in new york. There was a conversation about him getting Steve Frances chain back, he said it was about loyalty. Back in Steve Frances NBA days he held J. Prince down and gave him millions. He never forgot what Steve Frances had done for him.
Now that’s what I’m talking about. Good interview. Some one positive and making changes. This is respect and admiration. Thanks J P for your standing up for people who are winners.
Tint Eastwood I'm born and raised in in North Houston, same as J. still here. My dad was heavy in the Biz and knew J and he shared many stories with me. I'm going to leave it at that. J is definitely a Boss and no matter what his past is, he has an inspiring life story.
The thing's he HAS are inspirational, but who he is and how he came to get it are not. He's a sociopathic piece of shit, who's destroyed lives, and is a very part of the system of corruption that's fucking up the black community. He's human like everyone else, and will be brought down when the shit collapses as well.
Real life situations make us stronger or break people down. He stood up like a man with a plan! This is a great documentary. I supported his label by buying some of his artist cds. I bought Big Mike, Big Mello 2 tapes and cd,Bushwick Bill first 2 tapes. TMT Too Much Trouble, The Odd Squad,Scarface The Diary etc and the list goes on
I met one of his good partners in Dallas not too long ago and he was a stand up solid cat and now I know where he gets that from shout out to trinity gardens in Houston.....after watching this clip I definitely gotta a lot of respect for this man and i think you can learn a lot about success and having principles also...peace
J Prince is the KOS King of the South. He do so much for the community not just music. Im pushing to give back and build to big homie. Much homage paid to you. Thank you for keeping us real. ~X~
A rags to riches story that inspires one to keep working hard for what you want in life.He embodies what it means to walk softly and carry a big stick.Never mistake someone's quietness as a sign of weakness.
All you can say is put RESPECT on this man name.In this devilish world of anything goes. A Boss has to focus on the next move,the next thought,the next level in order to keep his Enemies guessing.
The Black God Father. He came up with Larry Hoover. Prince don't have to hoot and holla for you to know what's really good for you if you fuck with the family. Or the money. . A real Good dude though. And not to be taken lightly by any means
Yeah man I'm proud to call you my Big Hommie put alot of ppls down with the Rap game, I know you had to strong arm sometime the streets will it is what it is but you surivived the game now you on top Hell yeah J man keep doing your thing my Ahyah bless you I-sha!!!
He's an intelligent mover and shaker my man probably hired the reporter to paint him out like a saint, good public relations move J , it's like a self funded infomercial , what better way to keep the FEDS off you, GENIUS!!!👍👍
Ymcmb empire is like 10times bigger and the album sales are like 100 times more than this rap a lot records ...but I agree J prince is definitely a powerful man.
Ninad Ganore no way,you trippin, rap a lot been selling big albums since the 80s, you just know about all the recent mainstream bullshit that cash money is selling now cos ur a 15 year old school girl.
JoshuaTree people need to know the behind the scenes shit and not just what is shown on fox news. I have heard horror stories about being signed to rap-a-lot. There are plenty of links online of former issues artists have had with him and rap-a-lot. I have a homie that recently signed with them and I told him that was the worst move you could make for your career. Besides, it seems the only people that would get promotion on that label are Bun b, Pimp C (rip) and Scarface (less than ugk though). Look up what happened to Big Mike, 2Low, Dj Ready Red, Yukmouth, the luniz, Bushwick Bill, etc. Its just so much dirt on dude its crazy. He is rich as fuck off his artists blood sweat and tears. He is worse than Suge Knight in my opinion. I would be more afraid of J Prince than Suge. When z-ro is asked about his Rap-a-lot drama, he bounces around the question, and you can kind of sense fear in his tone and the way he stutters when asked about it. There are interviews! SHeesh i can go forever!
dam dude i still dont understand why everyone is so afraid of him for. guess it shows how fake the industry really is. theres no way in hell i would let him punk me. if i have to play dirty then so be it.
+YoungKnoccOut it's not about being scared it's about Respect. That man don't go out his way makin life or death moves for nothing! If he has a problem with someone they obviously stepped out of bounds with him. Whoever disses him might as well commit suicide no bs
the man is a legend in my book,god bless him and his family, j. Prince and Uncle Luke, our the two true god fathers that put the south on the map, big ups to both of them.🌞 tribe
J Prince you're a real inspiration and a breath of fresh air in the business realm. If you happen to read this hmu I have a real passion for business and would be honored to even be an intern sir. Much respect to a man of God with the know how and grace to not only start up successful companies, but also having the faith to sustain the movement. I just want to be part of the team.
Floyd may weather said how they ran up on him and tried to extort him, he was scared for his life , there is a interview of one of the managers speaking about the Real JPrince. Isaiah Carey knows no tot say anything bad about J Prince.
geewiznewyork MATTHEW 19-21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." JPRINCE IS A DAMN HYPOCRITCAL LIAR
I'm watching the O.G. , J. Prince., & He doing it like he suppose to!, But I think that due to the problems he had with federal agents., and other people in the past ., I think that this is a method to get him targeted by the government some sort of way to bring his earned good life to ruins. It's a vibe that I sense.
J Prince's character/demeanor is that of a real mafia boss; he's not in all the music videos of his artists; he owns a ranch with cattles. BOSS
Man that's how you do it! People respect his "gangsta" but what about his business savvy?!?!? M.S.I.. Multiple source Income! Condoms ,music, cattle ranch,real estate, investments!!! Have your money work for you not the other way around!!!True BOSS, young dude from the hood that made something out of himself! Salute to ya J.Prince!
Tee Ja

those type of people are labeled as sheep dogs. Wolfs wont fuck with him or his sheep.
Herb Garcia Minster Louis Farrakhan has that same Gangsta like vibe but he's an Older Muslim man.. However he got that Malcolm X vibe.. Humble and righteous but will fuck you up if you come incorrectly.
+Julian Prince james prince is THE GODFATHER of houston rap. nothing happens in the southern game without getting the "nod" from Prince. He speaks soft but carrys a BIGGG stick
+Julian Prince same thing goes for shooters too.. their usually unassuming.. and warm to those who know them. but cold....and sneaky to enemies.
+Julian Prince - Exactly. Real G's move in silence like 'lasagna'
"I don't want nobody to fear me I'm a lovable person" *begins a psychopathic chuckle*
hahaha i caught that
he and people like him are very sick
They need to do a movie about this dude
I'm sure they already have and its called empire
Not yet
Movie comin' soon! ✌
@@alvindzorwa202 hell nah
Christian Adams agree
The real Lucious Lyon 😂😂
More like the real american gangster
Dead ass
On Gawd 😂
That Man thinks before he speaks.
My favorite thing about J is that he gives all his glory to God.
To whom all the glory is due 🙏🏿 God Bless you
Amen in the name of Jesus is
There should be a movie Biopic about Sir J prince , so much power respect , yet still humble and soft spoken
Birdman watched this then tried to go get some respek on his name
jolinator that's exactly what I thought...but respek has to be earned and not on demand
+TheHoustonFactor haha, appreciate the upload fam, hope you have a good day.
NICE LMBAO!!!#

For you big homie
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL
He's a boss that has a kind heart, and if you Fuck with him he will put a price on your head

"Bad news gonna beat cha home"
Thomas Mark that shit was cold..
Coldest line of the whole video
Damn, I had no idea that J was a former banker and got laid off. That's how it all started.
after the bank he became a drug lord
Tint Eastwood what did he do ,then? and where are you from if you don't mind me asking?
Tint Eastwood I'm born and raised in in North Houston, same as J. still here. My dad was heavy in the Biz and knew J and he shared many stories with me. I'm going to leave it at that. J is definitely a Boss and no matter what his past is, he has an inspiring life story.
Tint Eastwood for sure my brother..I definitely back him!
Wisdom is Gangster oh ok. u got lied to
This is by far the BEST documentary on J. Prince and I wish it were longer.

God bless J. Prince. this guy has to be one of the most solid bosses in the industry
i'm feeling j prince smart man .knows how to saperate being a gentle man.... and a man you dont want problems with!
u dnt know how to spell separate tho
+O.J Pimpson you don't know how to spell you, don't and though-though.
I’ve heard so many great stories about this man, I would love to watch a movie about his life! ❤️
I wish I had a mentor or just anybody to show me the way. I see the hard work J Prince put in and I feel like I can do the same.
The dude interviewing him is the reporter from that old interview that went crazy when that bug flew in his mouth back in the 80s. Lol
Man i remember that, shit was funny as fuck..
MrBronze71 Link?
The narrator is actually from Fox 26 news in Houston Isaiah Carey
wow. inspirational. the farm shows he is self sufficient. this dude gets it.
The thing's he HAS are inspirational, but who he is and how he came to get it are not. He's a sociopathic piece of shit, who's destroyed lives, and is a very part of the system of corruption that's fucking up the black community. He's human like everyone else, and will be brought down when the shit collapses as well.
I like this guy...
I admire James Princes calm mentality!

When you have a ranch, you've made it!
People can make beef jokes all day if you own a ranch.
Nice
I'm watching the O.G. , J. Prince., & He doing it like he suppose to!, But I think that due to the problems he had with federal agents., and other people in the past ., I think that this is a method to get him targeted by the government some sort of way to bring his earned good life to ruins. It's a vibe that I sense.
