This is a true gangster doing an interview. He sits back, lets the interviewer take the interview any direction he wants, and mostly just confirms or corrects what Vlad is saying. He's basically letting Vlad tell his story and intervenes to correct mistakes,
The biggest thing I take from this is respect for your fellow man. He said it himself, the younger folks messed it up. He took it on the chin and never regretted it. Vlad definitely did his research, but he has something to learn from the elders who did it first. Shit, we all do.

Lifeline Metro Detroiter here who has always had a passion and love for the history of the Detroit dope game. The city has seen so many legends in the game that made money that would make your head spin. The fat man Eddie Jackson, Demetrious Holloway, Maserati Rick, the Curry brothers, Big Ed, The Chambers who came from down south and Were are lucky enough to have incredible timing to absolutely kill it with the beginning of the crack era. I’m 47 years old and I had about 20 years old I read Butch Jones book “YBI” absolutely fascinating read. The young boys working the corners like magicians must’ve been quite the scene. Don’t let me forget to mention White boy Rick. What the government did with him is truly unbelievable. Absolute insanity at its finest. Fast forward some years and you Got big Meech and his boys taking the game down south and killing it with the Detroit style. I live five minutes outside the city and work and play often in the D. The city is really trying hard to make an incredible come back which is starting downtown. To see where it is today compared to just 10 years ago is absolutely bananas. Proud to be from Detroit Michigan baby. Let’s go
Bro I love my city. This man is the essence of how (real) Detroit Gs was raised. How they speak, react, think, boast, our true mannerisms is in this man right here. True D boy.
I love the pauses , and then the "ok " , that Vlads ass says after almost every question he asks . He has no idea how to respond , its great ....... Johnny Curry is Straight Detroit O.G
A must watch for all the young dudes who spill their guts to vlad. Learn from a real OG how to conduct an interview without incriminating yourself. Vlad have more convictions under his belt than Danzel Washington in training day.
Here is a man, an OG who has never, is never, and will never do anything to try and impress anyone. Every step this man made, and is making is done with confidence, diligence, and that old school respect those that respect you. #1
"He was an informant beforehand..but go ahead.😎" Buddy ain't blink or miss any time to correct him bc he really understands & more importantly respects the game 💯
This man is cross between Eddie Jackson and a smarter big Meech. He controlled vlads traps and gave you the blue print without giving you the blueprint.
This man is a stand up guy!! Smart articulate and he didn't snitch 👍 Honestly I judged him by the way he looked before I hit play. Toldly different than what I expected. Did his time like a man, holds no resentments. Class act
Wow God bless him infinitely and his family. I don't glorify this type of lifestyle but it is interesting as hell. My God. Nothing is pure; so much corruption in every aspect of this world.
I respect his business mentality just not the illegal aspects. But even now white America doesn't want to share success and power with us black people. That's a real fact.
Spoken like an idiot! If he didn't sell drugs in the first place, he wouldn't have to worry about telling on other criminals to avoid going to prison in the first place!! If he would have applied his leadership and business skills to something legal, he'd be running a fortune 500 company right now! But drug dealers are so greedy and ultra maternalistic, he wouldn't have stopped before he was arrested and sent off to federal prison!! What about are the lives he destroyed with crack cocaine?! My older half-sister was one of his customer$! She was even pronounced dead on her way to the hospital back in 1989!! Miraculously she was brought back to life! But today, her body is now deteriorating and very frail today! Years of a crack cocaine fueled lifestyle and 3 or 4 packs of cigarettes a day, have finally caught up with her! God Bless her! She lost everything!! Her underwriter job at Gates McDonald/Nationwide insurance, her children, her marriage and almost her life!! Why is anyone glorifying a notorious drug trafficker and killer?! The more money he made, the more violence and drug-related death in Detroit and the Midwest, him and his organization are responsible for! How he can sit up there and grin and smile in this interview is beyond me! Shout out to John Curry?! Your hero is a convicted felon, who used children to peddle poison and genocide on his own people , regularly hung out and did business with a corrupt mayor, police department and a greedy homicide detective like Gil Hill?! All for a little bit of money?! Because he was once wealthy for selling drugs, now he's some kind of "ghetto superstar?!
The reason why people say Vlad is a fed is his interview style, he basically tells the person information that he knows and then he tries to get the person to admit it or correct the information as opposed to people who let the interviewee talk more
Or...... Maybe his interview style could just be considered: 1.) Invite guest for interview 2.) Research guest via internet, magazines, books, etc. prior to their arrival 3.) Ask questions relevant to interesting facts learned during the research and preparation stage 4.) Control the pace and topics of the interview by leading the guest with questions and allowing them to speak about the topics themselves, in their own words.
Right that’s a great interview style. But you can’t convince anger that’s it’s happy. That is confusing until you understand what the hell I’m talking about. 🤔
@@loganrusso39 hell naw! Vlad is asking questions that even he's saying how in the hell did you know that? Go to the lil baby interview! Either you're very naive or you're a policeman
Johnny Curry is an OG he's got honor,integrity, and believed in the Robert Blake addage"if you can't do the time then don't do the crime",He has alot of wisdom and he's intelligent they don't make them like this anymore I'm glad he pointed out the discrepancies in the movie long live Johnny Curry,
@@ChristopherX30 yes, he has over a billion in assets and paid less taxes than you and i in the last decade and he still ain't sitting in a federal prison, I would say that's a useful skill anyone would be happy to learn

He's not. These old black drug dealers are the biggest liars on the planet!! You can bait them into anything. Vlad baited him into his whole story, vlad would say I heard your worth 100million and of course he says yea thats right but maybe alil more. They are idiots that were broke within 2 months of being in prison.
@@bambamrubble151 he just got done saying that during a drought he went to Florida and got a new drug Connect. Vlad then says did you ever think of going straight to Columbia to find a drug connect and his response was yea I did go straight to Columbia and got a cartel connect. He is a liar.
It doesn't matter how old you are, how tough you are, how strong you are, how hard you are, how much you've done or how much you've seen. It is still devastating to talk about, or to just hear another man talking about, losing momma. It just sucks.
@@tonyhester5794 I agree what does his teeth have to do with anything! First of all those are not his real teeth, those are dentures ,lol,lol.🤣🤣 I grew up in Detroit and I know how this dude looked.

I'm not gonna talk too much this dude is still powerful in certain ways don't be fooled he's very smart and crafty.and he's not broke and they were not punk asses they were the real deal.
That comes with age ... the man is a well grown former gangster . Doesn’t stutter and stall and hee haw like they do nowadays . Most the older ones think before they speak .. there in lies the difference
Man theres just that quality that all OGs have (any OG born before the 80's) that would make me follow them into a burning house and the sad thing is I believe these guys are the last of that generation of OGs with the same mentality and wisdom. The coolest and realest people ive ever met in my life are older black dudes.
I respect real street hustlers like him because he did the time like a real stand up man supposed too he knew the consequence and repercussions of his actions and he played the game the right way

Who needed rest at 28, wow,
A prodigy.
He's not old only 61,62
Fishman said Johnny Curry was one of the smartest men he's ever met and had he grown up with the same opportunities as himself he has no doubt that Johnny could have been the CEO of a fortune 500 company.
who is fishman?
See I respect OG's liker this dude to the fullest. They don't blame anything or anyone else for their failures in life. They take full responsibility for their actions ad that's a man does.
That's what you do take your blame along with your glory .
@@ronboot3371 GLORY??? This dude was (is) an instrument of destruction and a major cog in the progress of black people in the entire U.S, He and the other O.G.s had an even greater impact than those responsible for the destruction of "Black Wallstreet". Where's the GLORY in that?
@@jamesloving8964 I don't think he was speaking in generalities
That's how it supposed to be you a man and as a man you have to have morals and your word as a man every man should know this ,don't matta if you street or nah
@@jamesloving8964 everybody got a choice he ain’t make them niggas smoke rock.
I admire this guy’s mindset. He’s one of those “it is what it is...I gotta deal with it” type of guys.
Old head mentality, older generation these guys were just built different !
@@TheBaBaTV Yep I was born in 2000, I always admire my elders because they lived in a completely different world, compared to them we have it extremely easy.
When he relives a old moment in time, he smiles from ear to ear
The whole video 😂
What about are the lives he destroyed with crack cocaine?! My older half-sister was one of his customer$! She was even pronounced dead on her way to the hospital back in 1989!! Miraculously she was brought back to life! But her body is deteriorating and very frail today! She lost everything!! Her job at Gates McDonald/Nationwide insurance, her children, and almost her life!!
Why are you idiots glorifying a notorious drug trafficker and killer?! The more money he made, the more violence and drug-related death in Detroit him and his organization are responsible for! How he can sit up there and grin and smile in this interview is beyond me!
Shout out to John Curry?! Your hero is a convicted felon, who used children to peddle poison and genocide on his own people?!
All for a little bit of money?! Because he was once wealthy for selling drugs, now he's some kind of "ghetto superstar?!
@@cpman1987 he was a product of his environment and he did his time already . Idk why you tryna make shit about you to tear this man down ? You failed your sister my boy as a man you supposed to protect the people you care about not bitch about it.
@@cpman1987 what about the families devastated by cigarette cancer and death by eating fast food
That man been thru some shit 😭😭
Lifeline Metro Detroiter here who has always had a passion and love for the history of the Detroit dope game. The city has seen so many legends in the game that made money that would make your head spin. The fat man Eddie Jackson, Demetrious Holloway, Maserati Rick, the Curry brothers, Big Ed, The Chambers who came from down south and Were are lucky enough to have incredible timing to absolutely kill it with the beginning of the crack era. I’m 47 years old and I had about 20 years old I read Butch Jones book “YBI” absolutely fascinating read. The young boys working the corners like magicians must’ve been quite the scene. Don’t let me forget to mention White boy Rick. What the government did with him is truly unbelievable. Absolute insanity at its finest. Fast forward some years and you Got big Meech and his boys taking the game down south and killing it with the Detroit style. I live five minutes outside the city and work and play often in the D. The city is really trying hard to make an incredible come back which is starting downtown. To see where it is today compared to just 10 years ago is absolutely bananas. Proud to be from Detroit Michigan baby. Let’s go
Bro I love my city. This man is the essence of how (real) Detroit Gs was raised. How they speak, react, think, boast, our true mannerisms is in this man right here. True D boy.
Definitely 💯
No cap
We lol who tf is u
Love from the westside ✊🏽
Sooooo F N True!! It was like listening to my Daddy. I'm calling him in the morning. Lol!!
I love the pauses , and then the "ok " , that Vlads ass says after almost every question he asks . He has no idea how to respond , its great ....... Johnny Curry is Straight Detroit O.G
I was just laughing at this same shit
Vlad has classified knowledge.. He knows whatever he's asking he knows there's some truth to it...
F.b.i
@@louphi34 no doubt
Vlad does that in every single interview. It's annoying. It's like he's just reading his script and never asks organic follow-ups.
Dad is cool I like the way he only mentions guys that have passed.. my man I need to meet him..Peace
Much respect. He did the crime and did his time smooth af.
He kept a humble and peaceful smile on his face for the entire interview.
Gangster💯🤣😂
Right 👏👏👏
Besides his inner thoughts based off vlads questions
A must watch for all the young dudes who spill their guts to vlad. Learn from a real OG how to conduct an interview without incriminating yourself. Vlad have more convictions under his belt than Danzel Washington in training day.
His energy is the energy of most Detroit Men
life goes on
~ Johnny Curry
“Life goes on!” This is the realest statement anyone can provide and he is definitely living proof of this statement 💯!
"Fair exchange isn't robbery", OG droppin gems forreal.
The realist thing ever said
For sure, I love that quote
Vlad has no idea how to relate to someone with no interest in gossiping.
Square biz!!
Facts
he keeps saying he remembers that when Johnny is talking about riots as a kid, *like he was there* .
Best comment on UA-cam.
@@8kigana I wish he would give an actual interview and allow the guest to talk. This bastard gives the worst interviews.
Here is a man, an OG who has never, is never, and will never do anything to try and impress anyone. Every step this man made, and is making is done with confidence, diligence, and that old school respect those that respect you. #1
Johnny was the interviewer and Vlad was the interviewie OG taught Vlad a value lesson finessed him like a Son sat him down 👏🏾
Johnny Curry is the definition of "True G"
"He was an informant beforehand..but go ahead.😎" Buddy ain't blink or miss any time to correct him bc he really understands & more importantly respects the game 💯
Man come on..do you have proof?..
Nigga NO
@@zombiejeannie6738 what are you talking about 🤣 you misunderstood the hell out that comment lol
Get your facts straight, he wasn't an informant beforehand. White boy rick were one because of his father. Facts matter, not talk.
I am from Detroit I ran wit some of them and I can say Johnny is good to this day. Real stand up guy!
This man is cross between Eddie Jackson and a smarter big Meech. He controlled vlads traps and gave you the blue print without giving you the blueprint.
💯💯💯💯
Well said
Don’t he try and trap 🪤 a mf with these sneaky as questions trying too see if he had bread tucked away and shit
Eddie jackson was the man
@@290FoeJAY Why not?
Most Gangsta, playa, and smooth interview I’ve seen yet. Much respect OG✊🏾
The level of respect that these older folk have for each other is night and day with the way the younger generation maneuvers
P
he was a heroine dealer man he didn't respect anything...
@@supagoon8 Did he force those people to buy from him? Everyone is responsible for their own choices at the end of the day.
This man is a stand up guy!! Smart articulate and he didn't snitch 👍
Honestly I judged him by the way he looked before I hit play. Toldly different than what I expected. Did his time like a man, holds no resentments. Class act
This dude is so mentally strong its wild. Refers to 17 years in prison as "getting some rest"
Getting some rest?...good grief! I guess that was rest for him due to the mental strain of him running his business.
Wow God bless him infinitely and his family. I don't glorify this type of lifestyle but it is interesting as hell. My God. Nothing is pure; so much corruption in every aspect of this world.
I respect his business mentality just not the illegal aspects. But even now white America doesn't want to share success and power with us black people. That's a real fact.
"I never snitched on nobody and never will" 💯 damn said like a G
double G
@Frankie Llamas Satan`s kingdom?!!! LOL
Oh yes he did..respect to the man for making a life for himself in a fucked up world…
@Frankie Llamas hill Odin!
Spoken like an idiot!
If he didn't sell drugs in the first place, he wouldn't have to worry about telling on other criminals to avoid going to prison in the first place!! If he would have applied his leadership and business skills to something legal, he'd be running a fortune 500 company right now! But drug dealers are so greedy and ultra maternalistic, he wouldn't have stopped before he was arrested and sent off to federal prison!!
What about are the lives he destroyed with crack cocaine?! My older half-sister was one of his customer$! She was even pronounced dead on her way to the hospital back in 1989!!
Miraculously she was brought back to life! But today, her body is now deteriorating and very frail today!
Years of a crack cocaine fueled lifestyle and 3 or 4 packs of cigarettes a day, have finally caught up with her!
God Bless her!
She lost everything!! Her underwriter job at Gates McDonald/Nationwide insurance, her children, her marriage and almost her life!!
Why is anyone glorifying a notorious drug trafficker and killer?! The more money he made, the more violence and drug-related death in Detroit and the Midwest, him and his organization are responsible for!
How he can sit up there and grin and smile in this interview is beyond me!
Shout out to John Curry?! Your hero is a convicted felon, who used children to peddle poison and genocide on his own people , regularly hung out and did business with a corrupt mayor, police department and a greedy homicide detective like Gil Hill?!
All for a little bit of money?!
Because he was once wealthy for selling drugs, now he's some kind of "ghetto superstar?!
The reason why people say Vlad is a fed is his interview style, he basically tells the person information that he knows and then he tries to get the person to admit it or correct the information as opposed to people who let the interviewee talk more
Yeah ok!
Or...... Maybe his interview style could just be considered:
1.) Invite guest for interview
2.) Research guest via internet, magazines, books, etc. prior to their arrival
3.) Ask questions relevant to interesting facts learned during the research and preparation stage
4.) Control the pace and topics of the interview by leading the guest with questions and allowing them to speak about the topics themselves, in their own words.
Right that’s a great interview style. But you can’t convince anger that’s it’s happy. That is confusing until you understand what the hell I’m talking about. 🤔
@@loganrusso39 hell naw! Vlad is asking questions that even he's saying how in the hell did you know that? Go to the lil baby interview! Either you're very naive or you're a policeman
Johnny Curry is an OG he's got honor,integrity, and believed in the Robert Blake addage"if you can't do the time then don't do the crime",He has alot of wisdom and he's intelligent they don't make them like this anymore I'm glad he pointed out the discrepancies in the movie long live Johnny Curry,
I love his attitude about
The question that’s being ask. Accountability and responsibility
Plus BOLD AND CONFIDENT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME 💯

You can learn something from any business man, No matter what the field of business.
Things like, "don't get into that line of business".

this dude would either be the best person to have in your corner...or the worst enemy to have
Just like the sun!

Detroiter in the house. Borned and raised. I love my city and will be here till the day I die
This was so good. One of the best interviews by Vlad. Top 5
"Fair exchange ain't no robbery"!!!
RESPECT! To curry! Show em how it's supposed to be!
OG said “ actually I can say his name he passed now “ that shows you how much the game was different back then. Guys now a days get in vlad and will name drop they momma if vlad asked 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Frfr
You nevah lied 😂🤣💯
Fr first and last name 😂😂
Respect
Salute OG! Stood on business like a real man… MAJOR RESPECT for this man, how could you not
I enjoyed this interview, Mr. Curry was definitely on point with his corrections and answers.😂😂😂
I just stumbled onto this randomly dudes definitely a real one
He's not. These old black drug dealers are the biggest liars on the planet!! You can bait them into anything. Vlad baited him into his whole story, vlad would say I heard your worth 100million and of course he says yea thats right but maybe alil more. They are idiots that were broke within 2 months of being in prison.
@@alpineskies2111 interesting point tbh
@@bambamrubble151 he just got done saying that during a drought he went to Florida and got a new drug Connect. Vlad then says did you ever think of going straight to Columbia to find a drug connect and his response was yea I did go straight to Columbia and got a cartel connect. He is a liar.
@@alpineskies2111 listen again, a little closer.
@@alpineskies2111 how you know???
Johnny Curry OG 💯💪🏾 Detroit Legend He Definitely Knows How To Conduct Himself In A Interview True OG
The truest OG I’ve seen on UA-cam yet
It doesn't matter how old you are, how tough you are, how strong you are, how hard you are, how much you've done or how much you've seen. It is still devastating to talk about, or to just hear another man talking about, losing momma. It just sucks.
Johnny not letting VLAD take over the interview... 😂😂I Love It!!!
"What you think I was giving 'em chicken feed" I hollered!
Me to 😂😂😂 he like an old school uncle
LMAO
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Roxanne I really dig ur name also u r gorgeous just putting that out there
You and me too!! That’s old school Lingo to the fullest!!💯💯
Yo his jewelry is legit from the 80s. You can tell just looking at his ring. That jewelry is so much more pure then the gold today.
💯
Those shades too
I love this guy style and what he stands for you could tell he always was a solid man
Love his character. A1 and still Sharp as a Knife. This brother still Got Paper. His Teeth at his age Shows wealth. 💯💯
Agree with you. He is sharp and has serious game.
@@mathewmcdonald3657 no it shows good dental hygiene.
Long history of Detroit OG's.
No disrespect but what does his teeth have to do with anything?
@@tonyhester5794 I agree what does his teeth have to do with anything! First of all those are not his real teeth, those are dentures ,lol,lol.🤣🤣
I grew up in Detroit and I know how this dude looked. Their nick name was the curry boys!! That's what Detroit people called them. I'm not gonna talk too much this dude is still powerful in certain ways don't be fooled he's very smart and crafty.and he's not broke and they were not punk asses they were the real deal.
The realest Ex Gangsta super smart still on point he was going to be Rich regardless
YESSIR
@@akdklagunasakdk on god
That comes with age ... the man is a well grown former gangster . Doesn’t stutter and stall and hee haw like they do nowadays . Most the older ones think before they speak .. there in lies the difference
facts a real old school G
@@mrgreenbaypacker929 nah it's a completely different mentality. He was never like most of these young dudes
Man theres just that quality that all OGs have (any OG born before the 80's) that would make me follow them into a burning house and the sad thing is I believe these guys are the last of that generation of OGs with the same mentality and wisdom. The coolest and realest people ive ever met in my life are older black dudes.

Happy for Johnny Curry. The best episode.
Very sharp minded. Peace, King.
I respect real street hustlers like him because he did the time like a real stand up man supposed too he knew the
consequence and repercussions of his actions and he played the game the right way
He from the East side of Detroit! A true legend!
Younger generation could learn a lot from this brother . When you do something accept the consequences of those actions
Rite💯

I told my daughter, go to school, get your Master's and accept the consequences of those actions.😃
