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!
That’s awesome. I had no idea who this was, and stumbled upon this interview. What an intelligent man. Very smart, and an incredible story teller! Wow! Hey, Garrett..do you know what happened to his voice?
Love these types of comments when family and close friends of the person being interviewed speaks out and or sheds light on their experiences with them🎯💯✅
James Hanninen You sound stupid AF... not all black women are failures and I don’t see how you can justify in your mind to allow your lips to utter those abhorrent words.
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.
Honestly think this might’ve been my favorite interview thus far, and I didn’t know anything about this guy until I started watching this, just mad interesting and humble 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yeah Vlad does some good interviews. I ended up watching him from watching the Rick Ross interview (the real Rick Ross) great story, happy to see he is free
James is the Realist Cat around right now. He's doing some great things for himself and family. Perhaps he might Take a page from the Original Black Panthers and put his name out among the City of Compton. Yo James, Politics might be for you.!
This is a solid dude! I appreciated this interview! Damn he became a grandfather in jail and his son was just born when he went in! That's crazy! The system makes you pay a lifetime for an adolescent decision!
This interview couldn't be more on point. Notice how D doesn't expose his business dealings with Freeway Rick until the clip is shown and he still keeps it short
@Underwear Taker No he is RESPECT for doing his time, being loyal to UNLOYAL streets and telling story and exposing a corrupt prison system that systematically removed "leaders" of the hood. He is part of a dying tribe of "true" OGs
@Underwear Taker and your just a worker bee like the rest of society waiting on a raise. All the wealthy individuals are LEAGAL innovative entrepreneurs who gave two shits about being employed
Darryl Lil' D' Reed's story brought me to tears at the end. His story would make an excellent movie. WOW! I couldn't even imagine doing all that time. I thought I was going to die after doing three months. Thank God for his Grace and Mercy! We all fall down from time to time...it's getting UP and learning from your experience that makes you NOT only a better person, but a TRUE SURVIVOR! Be Blessed Lil D!
It's all designed to destroy the brain. From the colors used to the design of the prison are cell. You got to be mentally strong. Go to school, read books and try to stay involved in positive constructive activities and conversations to strengthen the mind from degenerating and get released the same person are worse. It's a tricky game of fighting becoming institutionalized
I like this dude never before in my life heard about him, but i could listen to him for hours. Very knowledgeable for sure and really interesting story to tell.
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.
Real Talk. I'm from Oakland. Lil D was a teen celebrity in high school, everyone heard of his name even if you never met him. LIL D was the talk of the town.
Excellent, heart-tugging, reality check interview. So glad to learn of Lil D, and hear his life story. These types of interviews are worthy of my attention because you get life perspective from them. Good job Vlad.
You are a Living Legend Darrel Reed Aka Lil D 💯🙏🏽🔥👍🏽 How u turn a Negative 2 a Positive!! Best Interview ever #Facts Hope u get a Movie 🎥 🍿 Deal #Facts 💯🙏🏽🔥👍🏽
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.
Coming from the Bay Area during the same era I grew up knowing bout lil D. I am truly impressed on his character. Big ups Lil D! Stay right...stay solid. Bless
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.
I still remember his song why is that when the man made run to the Bible and made me read scriptures from the Bible. I belive it was genius chapter 10. As a kid he put into my mind the world we live in ain't truthful.
So true it hit in ‘83 I had my daughter in 82 and by the time she was 2 I had left her with my cousin too cracked out to pick her up - thank you god for saving my life
He got excited just telling that story about getting out.. That's dope... My brother did 13 down and I ain't never seen him walk as fast as he did the day he got his date....
I cried too, hearing your story!!!!! I hope you are well!!! There are so many young folks in Bmore that need to hear your story of triumph! You have further motivated me to continue my quest to adopt young boys to be a brotherhood of lions!
Wow wow wow!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this interview from beginning to end. I truly hope the rest of your life is the best of your life. Peace, love, & blessings to you. Thank you so much for sharing your journey thus far. S/O to former President Obama for getting you back to your family ahead of schedule.❤ Vlad I must say this interview some of your best work.
Great interview. Lil D is a great storyteller. I’m happy VLAD let him talk without a lot of interruption. I hate how drugs has crippled our community. But this man served more than the time he deserved. I hope he will use the rest of his life to dissuade our youth from street life.
They don't make that cloth anymore. He took 35 years with no ratting. Made relationships with other turfs and was about peace. Quarter backing it all while in highschool
malikrashaun Real Talk. He had older heads in line just off the Respect. Even after Felix got killed. Nobody believed that a teenager was running the Bay, but he did.
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.
best interview I've seen on this platform. I truly enjoyed the whole 2 hours and feel for Lil D and I hope he finds the right person he can make the movie with. I live in San Francisco also, and would love to meet him or go to one of his mentor speaking or anything if anyone has any information on it? Thank you Lil D and Vlad.
I loved listening to this, this morning, this really helped me. I use to live in Oakland, and read about lil 'D', and people use to tell me about how much trouble he got in so young.
Yo straight goods lil D, I know you don't know me but I wanna let you know I have made respect for you, and I wish there were more people with your loyalty.
I didnt know anything about this guy but watching up to when he said he was about to be released man i had to stop from shedding a tear at work. Awesome interview
I'm so proud of You for owning Your mistakes. It takes a real man to do what You did and then come home and try to educate the youth on what not to do. May God Continue to Bless You and Your Family and keep You all safe and out of harms way. Much Love and Respect.
I grew up around the time lil dee was getting it. I can’t stop watching his interview. I was with Mickey Moore side of town. It was the best time of my life
Absolutely. There's so many layers,two parents still poor,the drugs didn't magically appear.... What's obvious is when he understood better,he lived better.
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.

I respect the Father that He strived to be regardless of His circumstances... and for that God bless Him.
James Hanninen You sound stupid AF... not all black women are failures and I don’t see how you can justify in your mind to allow your lips to utter those abhorrent words.
OG!! Being respected for being non violent & uniting people makes you a real OG . Respect to Lil D
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.
People should listen...He has words of wisdom...A real stand up guy definitely cut from a different cloth than most
He speaks nothing but facts.
FACTS AF
This man went thru all Hells fire and look how GOD Brought him out..🙏👣
First time I ever waited for a full interview. Best two hours of my day.
Facts
That's a real shame if this was the best two hours of any day.
No Thankyou not really, the insight & story is amazing, you don’t understand cause you not from the bay! But this man story a one of a kind
Right , Same here

By far one of the best interviews I've EVER watched. Dude was/is solid

literally the same with me
Yeah first time hearing of him. This dudes story should definitely be a movie
Yeah Vlad does some good interviews. I ended up watching him from watching the Rick Ross interview (the real Rick Ross) great story, happy to see he is free
Listen to yukmouth album called jj based on a Will story part one
Bra I swear same thing for me
Lil D is right.He's a real gangster for not ratting.They don't make em like this anymore 💯💯
Much love to ldi crew y'all keep it real

Bobby shmurda a real one actually took half of his homies sentence!!
Lil d pretty much said it's pointless to be a drug dealer or gangster because u will be dead or do 30 years and it's not worth it at all
He was truly corrupted and turned out my his elders a shame
This is a solid dude! I appreciated this interview! Damn he became a grandfather in jail and his son was just born when he went in! That's crazy! The system makes you pay a lifetime for an adolescent decision!
In his case he paid rather for what he had the potential to be rather than what he did and it's fucked up
Adolescents know right from wrong
@@draftking77312 yes . However they don’t have the equipment of an adult.

THIS IS THE BEST INTERVIEW I EVER HEARD AND IM ORIGINALLY FROM RICHMOND CALIFORNIA! WELCOME HOME 🌐
With interviews like this, I prefer to wait until the full version comes out. There's certain stories you don't wanna hear in parts and sections.
Lil D we all want to see your story on the big screen. In do time it's going to happen. You're so inspirational....
In DUE** time. But yeah, you’re right. Would be an interesting film!!
Michael K Williams would be a good actor to represent lil D.
Stand up brother, they don't make them like this anymore. One of your best interview vlad!!
What inspiration this man is, peace my brother
Absolutely love this interview. He definitely should have a movie or tv series.
So much wisdom and cold pieces of reality in this interview! Much respect to lil d thank you glad for the content

Real Talk. I'm from Oakland. Lil D was a teen celebrity in high school, everyone heard of his name even if you never met him. LIL D was the talk of the town.
Real guy
And that's a big reason he went down
He will get a chance to see his grandson grow up.... Lil D a real standup guy💪🏾
And that's why he's out of prison now. Because even though he was selling drugs he a decent dude

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

This is the definition of a real man. He took responsibility for what he did and took his sentence on the chin.
