Back in their primes they were terrorizing people left and right.. 2 completely different paths but to live and talk about it is truly a blessing..
Mike didn't just terrorize people in the ring. He was a monKster in the streets. He just got rich off of scrappin'.
Just not true tho
Thanks!
I respect Tyson so much. He’ll knock you out and teach you something as well. Plus he funny as hell
I cant get my head around this calm , gentle Mike Tyson was is the most feared man in history
Both him and big U
OLDER and the CHEEBA effect 😃
Most feared in his boxing era, definitely not history…
Maturity and less testosterone
The quite and the calms are the real killas
Big U and Mike Tyson having a conversation in this era. This is definitely great to see. Both have grown immensely. Making great positive impacts...facts or undeniable facts?
that's a statistical mathematical fact.
Undeniable
FACTS!
Facts on top of facts
Growth? It's called being in your 50's. How are they supposed to act? You know the culture is fuc*ed up when men in their middle 50's are being congratulated for growth
Reading. Big U himself, gangster of gangsters says reading is the most important thing he's learned. Pay attention kids!
Reading is the exercise for the brain
Salute!
.
Right👍🏾reading Extortion contracts according to Wack 100 and Hassan Campbell😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹💯💯💯
@@roosterking5272 BWAHAHAHHA he lying "gang violence the lowest it's ever been? It's three killings a day was three on Slauson that got shot the other day he don't be out saying nothing cuz he still Bangin talking about a check-in and extorting people getting paid half a million dollars a year to do nothing
It's good to see Mike smile all the time. Glad to see you Happy enjoying your life and family Mike God Bless You
The most listen and watch worthy interviews are the ones with the OGs. They’ve lived a lot of life and have a lot of experience and stories to tell. They have something to say.
Yea strait facts that most can learn n digest, some things positive, that can also help the generation from coming after these, for me that's priceless in the evolution of young black kids that may make the difference, from them doing right thing wen they don't see any choice. We all know they gonna do wat they gonna do, but least givem the information and get them the best possible chance in life like everyone deserve nó matters colour or ethnicity.
Watching Tyson laughing makes Me so happy.
Everybody loves it when a cancer laugh.
Because you are a hero worshipper.
@@nastybastardatlive not hero, Mike is rolemodel
@@rosiebrooks7685 that's funny because my girlfriend is a cancer and I love to hear her laugh
No. Watching Tyson laughing makes "everyone" happy
That might've been one of the most informative and one of first interviews that I have watched with no stops. Thank you for the excellent content.
These are the type of men that are humble. Men with real strength!
Big u humble? Loool
You sound so dumb it’s ridiculous tbr…
That's the least i've seen Mike talk on Hotboxing. That's a display of high respect to a guest who has earned and truly deserves that amount of respect. Respect to both of those grown ass men.
Watch the podcast with khabib lol
Or franzese
Mike is very strategic! He knows and He is watching and reading off the Person!
U fruitcake

I enjoyed this interview. I thank Mike and his crew for bringing on Big U. I learned a lot about Big U from this interview.
Rest in peace Nipsey!!
A lot of wisdom from these 3 men. Albert Einstein use to say compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe. And Knowledge of Self is right behind it.
Know thyself!
Big u talking bout nipsey gives me goosebumps lowkey with the rumors that be out . If he set it up or was a catalyst and he talks about him like that just damn
People be talking alot of shit
I agree ,he was sounding shady when asked about Nipsey
@@baytothebaybay3976 fr sounded like he was tryna clear his name more then talk bout nip
Smh. Y’all sound crazy.
Big U is a Fraud&Fake that is getting unnecessary attention ever since he betrayed&plotted against Nipsey with LAPD cause he is their INFORMANT.I came to know of Nipsey when he was assassinated after the Grammy Awards.I was so touched by the sad story I did alot of research about him,from his music and even Ancestory when i found out his African roots...his bloodline is from African royalty in Ethopia that ruled Tigray&Eritria,where the "King of Kings" was born,"HEM Haile Selassie the last Emperor of Ethopia",...'King of LionJudah' is in his bloodline from which his bloodline goes as far as King Solomon.
The African Jews from Yaruba&Igbo in West Africa around Nigeria documented the Bible and even Egypt had Biblical scrolls kept in the Pyramids.The Biblical scriptures are all based on African experiences of the Spiritual Prophets...so what you all witnessed in America about Ermias(God will rise) was his Ancestors spirit using him as a vessel to convey the true message,also the Dr Sebi documentary he planned to do was going to be a true revelation to African Americans.
the Elites were threatned by the attention and the global fame Nipsey was receiving so they had to eliminate both Dr Sebi&Nipsey. Ermias was truly a King.The LAPD used Big U(an informant) to destabilise Nipsey vision of Gang unity in LA,and to have him under survelience for 7 years meant he was a serious threat to the Establisment structure...they infiltrated his gang&used all these phony characters around him to assassinate him.
Big U been lit up so many times, the bullets just gave up😂😂😂😂
WOOOH! Much respect for your contributions and stories. I watched with the intention to learn what family and community means. Thank you
Don’t be fooled. It’s what’s in the HEART
Mike Tyson is a legend
I was always waiting for Big U and Mike to link up on an interview 💪💪
I always wanted dmx but we sadly will not ever get it
Bars
@@skiman5289 that would of been 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@skiman5289 he done one on drink champs.
Mike really respecting big U journey and acknowledging how heavy he was back then.
Big U: They were talkin' about me in trial so bad - I wanted to find myself guilty...🤣🤣👍🏽
Great to see Tyson doing well for himself. Growing up in Brooklyn hanging with the likes of Haitian Jack, Scooter, king Tut, Domencio he seen the worst of the worst hanging with them Brooklyn gangsters. Mike is definitely a legend & will be a very sad day when he’s gone.🥺….
As for Big U im not sure if he made that call to get Nip hit but Something don’t seem right when they bring up Nip.
Stop it street bs no sense big u get ntg to do with nipsey dead this guy help him Eric kill him u see video proof receipt wat else u need
Assalamu alaikum Tyson. I grew up watching you fight, you were the greatest ...and in my eyes you still are the greatest, I have always wanted to meet you ever since i was a little boy because youre a legend my bro and you will always be a legend long after you are gone. may Allah bless you in this life and in the hereafter insh'Allah.
Can you imagine conversations with these gangsters throughout the country and what stories they can tell us
Civilians 😂
They'd all tell you the same thing.. don't do what they did !
What a great interview 💯
Mike’s laugh is contagious 😂
When mike laugh, I laugh, you laugh 😂
That's crazy Tyson used to hang with Big U's big homie! Love this episode
Listening to Mike, you realize how many times we almost came close to not seeing his talents, imagine all the black men who were killed at young ages that could've made impacts in society in various fields. I chop it up with other black men & we all have those moments to where we could've died years before
Real spit 💯
I have these thoughts as well. It’s interesting how different things could have turned out.
That’s the first MAN I seen come up there Mike fully and totally respected
They got history
More power to Iron Mike Tyson
Just think about the nature of those 2 men's lives on the left side is nuts. Real life black Spartans. Survived it all to come out as leaders and businessmen trying to build a stronger black community.
You need Thomas Sowell in your life.
People don’t understand stand that. We come out the wound to struggle. Talking abt lifting yourself from your own boot straps.
@Cheese Doodle nyggah as a white dude bro I fully agree 😭😭
@Cheese Doodle nyggah absolutely bro and fuck em. I HATE wypipo😭. Even myself lol
@Cheese Doodle nyggah I grew up in the dirty poor neighborhood and trust they look at poor white people and talk about them the same way. As a blue collar laborer mfs make me feel like the help so much it’s disgusting. All you can do is speak with purpose and intelligence and prove em wrong ya feel me?
Kids first experience with drugs is their phone! - mike Tyson 💯
I love you Mike all the way from Melbourne Australia
YES SOME REAL Gs GOOD TO SEE OGs are still around
He killed nipsey
I'm curious to find out why gang leaders are being praised as if it's something to be proud of. This man is getting clout for sharing tales or terror on the black community in his youth and later years. This is terrible!!! Damn Mike
@@harveybrown5654 who asked
@@harveybrown5654 some of them deserved it
A real OG would be Nipsey Hussle... not this two face mf..
Enlightened Mike is by far my favorite podcaster lol
Big Mike, and Pat McAfee. Both kicking ass
At this point I'm never buying shit from manscape
Big U and Mike Tyson. Top fighters of their era sheeeeeesh
Nothing but good information. Great interview!
RIP Nipsey. The Marathon continues
I could tell by the comments you dont know whats going on. Long Live the Legend Nipsey Hussle.
You too loud 🤐
Nahh no thanks
This dialogue and interview is super powerful!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mike read the Manscape ad will always be hilarious 😂
Mike eating the blueberries kills me. another great ep
Thank you for the video! ☺♥
Older gentlemen who keep in shape. A complete pleasure to see, hats off to them :)
Great job giving back to the Community Big U......
Ole boy do be asking some good questions
He help mike out a lot 💯
One thing about it Big U gonna mention he came home in 04 ! 😅
Yo Mike you got me laughing my ass off with these commercials and products. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍
Going deep tonight! ✊
Sebastian is such a great co-host. 😂
Nipsey is the king of Crenshaw. Big U needs to study what made nip so legendary before he even dropped an album. He loved his people and his hustle was supreme.
@Cjaydaloc No big u started that program before nip gtfho
Big u started that program before nip you talking about Crenshaw business but don't even live around smh you need to stop with the conspiracy theories in the streets you just don't call someone snitch like that especially real active gangbanger. Big u didn't have a beef with nip they sorted out their old before you used that same bs conspiracy with 2pac
@@daviwilliam281 Listen to Nipsey's song U don't got a clue.
@@faheemfaquir1024 this is was before victory lap stop that nonsense we saw nip a lot of time with big u listen succa proof who drew is? Drew is big u.
Always big u was the only one who gave nip a trophee while he was alive now you fake fans wanna pop out like you was caring before
@@daviwilliam281 None of his friends or family ever speak highly of big U. Period.
Wow! I'm simply amazed. Just sat here listening to big U and mike talking about way back making me think damn they're old!
Mike Tyson is a good friend, noticed him back his friend's fear of birds up by saying if certain birds were in the room everyone here would run . . . I wonder what happened between him and the previous host, I'm sure it will be resolved eventually. I just wish for clarity
Great interview Mike I know about Big U through Nipsey Hussle's death.👌🔥
Yea big U played a part in getting him killed he even admitted it himself
A former heavy weight champ, a pro football player and Big U might be the biggest dude in the video 😂
Lnao I was thinking to myself “he trippin for this comment” then I go watch the video to do a little double take, and damn you’re right lmao
Iron mike is the biggest in the 3
Big u 6ft3 mike is 5ft11
Great interview with 2 OGs
Big U is the first guest on this show who is not nervous sitting next to Tyson
They been around each other before... big u's big homie was a friend of Mike...they have met prior to this interview in the past
@@str8poisintv131 even if he didn’t know him I doubt Big U would be nervous around another grown man no matter who he is
Why should anyone be scared? I mean your name is Alex . Sounds soft anyway
Mike Tyson does look kinda intimidating still
Big U got hands he beat up nipsey his brother and his dad
This man overcame a lot and is trying to guide the youth on navigating the hood in the hopes of obtaining their true potential .. salute to draws, mike and the interviewer💯💪🏾👊🏽
A true IDIOT if you think Big U isn’t still involved in gang activity.I guess because he’s on UA-cam n sitting with mike lying in front of cameras he’s a hero right ?....ok
Sure
The man you speak of is a fed, snitch, informant, bully, extortionist coward. He hates how his life turned out , he is the worst of the worst

@@AS-fd9jc agreed . Big uterus a snake
How do yall not have 1M Subs? Yall doing everything right. Let's Get 1M Views everybody reading. Come on, this Podcast deserves it, honestly.
Mike knows a lot of big time gangsters and killers.and they all show him love..
Been waiting for this ever since Big U mentioned it on his instagram
love Mike's confidenth
My "opinion" is that the leaders within' government need to agree or have more pressure put on them to put more funding into deprived areas - not the police!!!
✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
The powers that be thrive of watching less fortunate suffer not a conspiracy theorist but believe the "governments" are governed 💯
@@TM-cl6yz True True. The public doesn't even see or know anything about the "real powers" incharge.
Presidents are just the face of the brand. The fall guys. Puppets getting their strings tugged.
The people behind the scenes are the lobbiests with true wealth & power.
Such groups have and always will pray on the masses to suck the life out of them. Their main aims are to dumb down the masses and control them. Which inturn finalises the bigger picture of making them more wealthier, at any cost! 👍🏽
I don't know shit or hsve any facts. I suppose some might call me a conspiracy theorist but I believe in that narrative. It's just my opinion. I may be wrong?
If any source can tell me different? - I'm all ears! 👍🏽
they don't want to miss out on the $$ thats why the black community need to use own $$ & move in silence!! government wants the black community to stay broken!!
@@bon5436 The black community is a big meal ticket for private owned companys and it also keeps the governmental services spinning.
Need to break this cycle..👍🏽
The bird conversation had me hooked😂
Brothers are intelligent
mike prob had Birmingham rollers, back then they where popular
Glad he got rid of the last dude and got people we can relate to instead of people who just thrive off of our bad news
What we need is representatives from each organization to come together and make a council..
Always love to hear spills in the 80s in Cali
🤜🏽💯🤛🏽👊🏽

Can’t wait for this one ☺️ this podcast fina be 🔥
Mike Tyson this ya best interview 🙌
This is a knowledgeable conversation please listen young people take heed its #freegamefromoldheads ❤️
I love mike he accepts and has fun with his voice lmao .cooom
First time I’ve seen Big U afraid, Mike Tyson is a dope human being. Cus was a blessing.
He meant they did the deal right before he organised Nipseys departure he seemed very poised in his description of NIP MAN
Salute to Soledad brothers! Blood in my Eye was dope and refreshing read. The world lost some real ones...
"Former" dude is still an active leader. He is on the board of crips LLC and is rumored to have something to do with the passing of Nipsey...
Some shady about Big U fr
He didn’t have anything to do with nipsey being killed
Please don't speak on hood politics if you not from that specific set.....
Knock it off. Dude already testified as to why he killed Nipsey.
@@MrKDMack1 What set you rep? Throw yo hood up since you tryna check niggas 🧣🩸
It’s crazy how #MikeTyson share all his stories and I realize it’s people whom loved & respected him more then he did his own self!!…our dear brother does have a beautiful soul and spirit if you look pass all his trauma.He’s very honest!!!!!…95% of black men go though the same things accept we don’t get to aquire that much “Gouda”---(#E-40)
we need mike and Big U working together for the black community Big U has the street influence and mike and mike
Let's get it. I gotta find out a way to get one of those Tyson blunt boxes
So engaging I was like "What! 44 mins up already?!"
