I saw this, saw the length, and legit said to myself “No. We will save this for the proper sit and listen.” And that’s the power this man’s documentaries have lol
Titles like this are extremely dangerous and disgusting and insidious. This is why white people like this shouldn't be associated with our culture because this is actually a defamation of character lawsuit off this title alone. As he doesn't live in America so he pillages from Black American culture to mearly paint evil images. Now where is his videos exposing law enforcement in America? Exposing the US government? Where was his 3 hour video involving the George Floyd execution since things are such based on Black American violence? He's not even in America telling us what record label is the most deadly gang definitively and its beyond disgusting and racist. He has zero words for gangs in law enforcement here in America but he's making these films to have Black artists get indicted. Why do I even have to say this? It's right in front of ya'll faces. I repeat he's done no videos about the evil and gangs in law enforcement in America because all these films he makes is all energy to indict Black artists for the police.... as someone who doesn't even live on America. Where is all this might and energy to talk about the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo Boys? This is all insidious racist tactics and he hates it when I call him out on this because everyone agrees its just the God honest truth.
The fact these young men and teenagers are putting out all this information about their illegal activities...so much information that a journalist/blogger/researcher is able to produce a 3 hr documentary is crazy to me.
A lot of this information is out there for anyone to research I think after looking it all up he put together quite a good documentary I’m from England myself I find all this drill and gang stuff very interesting but also quite sad because most of them who get killed are really young, if only they had lived five or so more years they might have grown out of this street gang life and settled down, even when some of them make it big in the music industry they end up getting killed and that’s even worse, look at Von for instance he could have gone to the top but he couldn’t leave the street life behind him. Anyway great video as usual Ross keep them coming.
Being a police officer working on gang unit must be the easiest thing in the world, these guys shoot an opp then post about it on twitter then say whose snitching when they get arrested
You don’t even have to look deep. None of them own the property they’re dying over. It’s right on the surface. I’m not dying over some place I pay rent at
It's really crazy how all of this unfolds like it's a movie despite the fact that this is real life... It's as if death means nothing to these guys, it's a right of passage for the lifestyle that they choose to partake in.
I live here and it’s like it’s the battle of who got the most F’d up stories. It’s mfs here who will knock up a female, just to have a Bm they can complain about. It’s crazy asf.
This whole war between them is like a movie. Getting outside jail and shot 64 times? The top killer snitching on his death bed? Even the fact that death is so common, a random bystander placed a sheet over a body on the street without even calling the police. Everything seems so crazy.
I'm torn on if it was snitching when he was so drugged up... Did he know who he was talking to or understand what he was doing at the time? I have a feeling the deathbed confession wouldn't hold that strong in court due to the drugs and how messed up he was. But I don't know.
In India a guy was on trial for 19 MURDERS and his opps DRESSED AS LAWYERS AND SHOT HIM DEAD IN COURT u can look it up there’s crazy shit around the whole world
@@catasrophieGrrl Stop Making Excuses For That Rat He Told The Police The Dude Whole Name He Said Rell Rell Shot Him Shit Ain't Got Nun To Do With Drugs If He Was That High He Wouldn't Even Know What Happened The Paperwork Already Out Black N White Don't Lie
My heart breaks for Kyro...he said he doesn't want to be in the streets..he says the old heads put him on. Shame on these older people for preying on these young kids and teaching them this hard street life. That is evil.
Its not so black and white. Kyro literally said that he told the lil homies they don't have to participate in the streets shit. And they still sitting right next to him gang banging. They institutionalized bro
@@SoloSammyU9 It's how it go doe, they feel like they need soldiers because they getting tired of the war but they don't ever wanna let up so they pass it down to the young niggas to inherit. Contrary to what alotta niggas think, it's just certain places where some niggas don't have a chance straight from birth. It's generations of kids being wired to hate and destroy people who could've damn near been like family to them if they was born 5 minutes down the street.
Some moron from another comments section was trying to use the same argument as Foolio "oh they're old enough to know what they're doing" and ignoring this sick predatory behavior
It’s wild because I was living in Chicago 2008-2012 and left because the violence got to be too much. Talking about 40+ shootings every weekend - no one was safe. Here I am 10-years later learning the story behind the violence thanks to Trap Lore Ross.
same. grew up and lived in champaign just 2 hours south of chicago. a lot of members go there to hang out and lay low from the city, 600 breezy being one of the more popular guys people see pretty frequently. crazy that this stuff was happening relatively close but never made headlines until far after chief keef took off.
Trap Lore Ross always does an incredible job of combining my favorite topics- Hip Hop, True Crime, detailed documentaries and morbid stories of violence and murders. And its crazy that I can just watch this for free! Thank you for the consistency and high quality content
He does an AMAZING job putting together research that I’m sure the FBI are just so appreciative for … this is great info for the FEDS! Great job Trap Lore … now the Feds can use this
What impresses me the most about your videos are the sincere messages you add to the end of your videos man. Don't get me wrong the structure, attention to detail, and research are top notch but without a MESSAGE its nothing. People can say you're profiting off of pain but bringing things to light is the first step in creating change. Keep up the good work bro, you have a new fan from Bmore..
@strangerdanger4167to be honest some of them don't deserve to be remembered.. when you inflict death and destruction amongst your own people.. you get what you get
I agree and man f Those who say hes doing it for profit or some , ofc he wants a bit for 3h, imagine hiw much work there is behind, prob like weeks, and u clearly can feel what u just said about this dude, aint no newschannel these mf dont care bit this dude deserves every lil he gets from this
This took me 2 days to finish watching it's such a fantastic piece ! The research, the storytelling, the total unbiased and respectful perspective that neither glorifies not villainizes all the people involved... some of your best work by far !
@@davile4596 lmao ok it took me the evening of the 23rd and most of the 24th my bad, thank you for keeping us safe from caps in the youtube comments you're a hero 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have a pretty interesting story about the stones from a long time ago. Back in the 60s my great grandma, a white Jewish woman, ran a liquor store around 67th and Stoney Island in Woodlawn. Her store would be frequented by the local Blackstone Rangers and from what I heard she actually had a good relationship with them. During her time running the store no one ever robbed her or hassled her for protection money. There were times that gang members would actually politely ask her for paper bags, which they would end up using when robbing neighboring stores lol. The crazy part of this story was after the MLK riots in Chicago, rioters broke her store's windows, and because the stones thought so highly of her they actually helped her fix her windows. Its pretty crazy how much different things are nowadays, but I think its important for people to learn about why things have gotten so bad. In order to find a solution.
Cool story bro, but what’s the point? You neither raised any question nor answered any. What did your last paragraph have to do with the preceding? 🤷🏽♂️
I only see media pushing hate.. Every single person I meet be it, White,Black,Latino,Asian,Middle Eastern,Indian ect. all could care less what color I am. As long as I honor whatever our agreement is, we're good. Pretty sure that's the majority of the world. My Aunt was a hippie, white, pharmacist's daughter who was protected by the Black Panthers on Hate and Ashbury back in the G.. She believed in what they were doing and worked closely to help.(I believe she was studying Law) In turn they protected her heavily, and her Dad's pharmacy while Escorting her around San Fran. She said she felt like a Boss with those dudes by her side. She tells some wild stories of those days..
The crazy part about it is that these dudes knew they had beef in the street, but most of them always got caught walking somewhere or standing around in plain sight as if nothing is up
That's what I don't understand. Like did they forget a lot of people wanted them dead and still walk near or through neighborhoods where the same people are? It's like they act like they're ready to die but when it comes most run, which is understandable, but why just be out like that?
@@markanthony1004it’s who they are. What makes them part of the gang life is what also makes them think they’re untouchable! Their carelessness of shooting someone and taking a life also translates to their carelessness of going out on the street thinking they are untouchable. That’s why it’s always the biggest killers that get killed. It’s crazy how it works.
This is honestly amazing! It's like having a compilation of 25 videos in order (6+ months and more worth lol). Each one leading into the next. The amount of work you put in for a UA-cam video is just insane. Thank you for the work because this is honestly better than TV/Netflix level for a documentary/docu-series cause that's basically what it is. But better.
The way you structure these videos is insane. You’re able to captivate people that have no prior knowledge on the situation. You see the title “The Murder Of KTS Von” at 1:28:18 and go “oh shit” because you recognize how crazy that is. You’re able to stress the importance of the people in these situations and the severity of their deaths so well. A masterclass in documentaries.
Except he makes a documentary about GANGS, and when someone is shot he calls it GUN violence instead of the obvious....GANG VIOLENCE. That's irritating
@@alexb7641 shut the hell up its gun violence regardless some people murdered aren't in gangs just in the wrong place at the wrong time so he can use gang violence and gun violence interchangeably.
Your ability to tell these stories and break them down in chronological order. Is second to none it’s amazing how you’ve carved you’re own Lane in the game and a unique spot
He definitely does an amazing job while still being respectful to the people involved. You can’t do nothing but respect it. Amazing documentaries and each one gets better. 👏🏾
@@rydz656 losers? Are they great people? Absolutely not but what can you expect of kids who grew up in a highly dangerous environment? It's real easy to judge when you never went through some shit like that but I guess you can talk reckless on the internet. That's all people like you can do. Have a good day.
Riiight like how this mofo from across the seas get everything on point?? Wtf he does a good job doing his homework!! I’m from the Chi and know most of this but he knows a lil too much like naurdwar
Its a literal wonder how your content is free. I can only imagine how much work it was for the research, synthesis, script writing, recording, EDITING, AND THEN re-rendering this behemoth several times to get that monetization. Thanks for everything, Ross
@@TimeToGoo I know they’re uncut on Patreon, but he still had to censor stuff on UA-cam to put it up here for us without a paywall, and trying to not trigger demonitization is difficult, especially with UA-cam not giving a list of the trigger words
I always thought it was weird of JuiceWrld to start dissing dead opps. Nothing wrong with having friends in gangs, but to go disrespect peoples families and diss dead people just didn’t sit right with me.
Same. Reminded me of what happened to Pac. PAC was never a gangster, then he started hanging with Death Row and all the sudden he's the biggest gangbanger ever. And that's exactly what got him killed. Talk to any REAL OG, they'll tell you this shit ain't cool.
As a law student the thing that sticks out to me most is a failure by the prosecutors to hold anyone accountable for their crimes despite the evidence against them.
No face no case. Not saying it's an excuse for all of them, but proving something in court is a lot harder than you'd think. The defense just needs to prove doubt. The just system is twisted. You'll learn soon enough! Congrats on the career choice btw!
I knew who to look for when i wanted to learn about this topic. Trap lore ross. Great information, documentary style videos and honest non-biased info.. salute ross.
I want you guys to realize how overlooked the issue is of the navy seals selling weapons to the gang members from Kentucky. This is an extremely overlooked detail. And as sad as it is, it happens a lot more then people think. It’s so easy to get a gun in low income areas it’s insane. I really wish people would stop killing each other but it feels like outside people will always fuel this kind of violence. It’s at 2:51:33
This happens all the time in high crime places i grew up in Camden and the feds would tell us when the trains would be coming through how you think all these guns get in the hood they want us to continue to kill each other smh
@@Snarf_Le_Wombat I guess you don't mind armed forces behaving in such a manner? But you've been trolling up and down the comments so I shouldn't engage
If somebody wants a gun, they are going to get a gun bro. Navy seals selling weapons 100% doesn’t change the fact people have always been able to find firearms.
Man you did an absolutely amazing job on this. I knew most of this because I follow Chicago Scene 88. Thanks for giving him credit also. But you were great. Can’t wait for the next one.
As a 26 year man who had to pause the video several times throughout because of how sad this story was man… I truly pray that one day we can give the kids growing up in these areas hope for a future in which they get the same chance that I got
b_@cK people should be proud of themselves Raising fine pos I work in a situation where I see who they only problem children are every single day. The same POS worthless trouble making punk kids that their parents are even worse and blame everyone else when their POS Cause more trouble
Yet another banger, I get insomnia and I swear I have been watching your docs for the last 36 hours pretty much non stop. It's not just they're well made, it's the empathy you tell the stories with without ever taking sides yet genuinely wondering just what is the point of so much death over so little. Anyway mad respect for your work.
@@TheChicagoJunkie I was up for 5 days straight my friend but I finally got some decent sleep on the 6th day. I am not making assumptions but I hope your tag is not current.

I grew up in the era of GDs vs these stones. This dude did some research. I remember when the no limit moes was first hitting. The original stones didnt want anything to do with them. Didnt even interfere when there was war between no limit stones and the GDs. I'm not sure about these herbo no limit cats but this was way before them. They were toddlers at this point.
I have been mindlessly scrolling youtube for the past week and I couldnt find anything to watch. Thank you Trap Lore Ross for blessing us with another classic🙏
Man, you are an incredible artist. Not only can you make an amazing video that I didnt even realize was 3 hours long, you have a sense of empathy so powerful that you understand the conditions that lead to violence in America better than a lot of the people that live here. I have never heard such empathic and compassionate understanding about gun and gang violence from a single US politician that I heard in the last 4 minutes of this video. It was cathartic. You really get it. Incredible job. This video deserves an award.
All this was going on under my nose...raised 7 children in the midst of all this. I even know some of these young men as my childrens classmates. Saw Herbo n Bibby learning how to make music @ CYC (Chicago Youth Center). I learned more from this than being right there.
my granny used to live on 78th & kingston during 2011 - 2019 so i basically grew up around this area and familiar with everything over here, i ain't know who herb was til i got cause i was a shorty
And i bet u didnt know anything about this lol i bet u even got popcorn cause its funny to u huh its just a game to all the new fans nobody cared bout chicago untill now now yall care lol
@@mannybruhh9969 bro you don’t even know me. I ain’t from Chicago , been there many times. I grew up 15 minutes from the Mexico border. I’ve seen murder in two different states as a child. I think this shit is sad and if you’d creep all my comments you’d see where I stand on all these. Peace to you man, and I hope if you’re in you find your way homie.
@@mannybruhh9969 lol I can’t help where I was born, 🤷🏻 and shit 13 miles ain’t far When I was a kid, you could just drive into Mexico not much different in the 90s
I absolutely love the way you tell it like it is, you never pull any punches, we need more people like you telling the truth, there is nothing more refreshing, I'm so sick and tired of most people twisting and mincing the words, the public needs to know what is truly going on, stay safe and stay salty.
Yo even with my 40 hour work week and the daily struggles of living check to check these videos inspire me to do greater and be greater you put so much work into this content that it’s extremely inspirational. Over a fan of this channel throughout the years there’s not one video I’ve missed it’s so much quality information that’s public but you take the time to actually put all these pieces of the puzzle for audiences to understand the struggles around the world ongoing with the streets and our rap culture. Got people who have never been involved with the streets or the gang life style can clearly get a taste and almost feel like they’re at the scene from how vivid your analytic your video explains the experience. Thank you so much for your channel and work all the hard work that you and your team do to accomplish these masterpieces
Dawg… it’s so crazy finally hearing the back story to all the music that I came up with. I’m the same age as Herbo.. all this hurt and pain man. I feel him. For anybody who lost a friend to gun violence I feel you & im praying for you and anyone that was involved.
bro this is so heartbreaking to watch and hear. you hear things in songs and sing along without giving a second thought but once you realize the back story from all of this it truly breaks your heart. RIP for everyone who lost their lives in this war, and prayers for everyone still in this war. no one deserves to lose their life, especially in such gruesome ways🖤
Crazy how many teenagers just starting life and already at the point where they accepted the fact they’ll be shot, killed, willing to kill, crash out or get locked up.
Trap lore you are the king of you tube documentarys. No one do it like you. Kb goes live is raw af but his videos don't have the length of your videos. Props bro on this massive drop
I am so immersed in this documentary that I just watched all three hours in one sitting. Absolutely phenomenal piece, TLR is the undisputed champ of this brand of content.
1:58:28 it’s crazy how the two guys mother just seemed so unphased until she broke down. You can tell she lived in the area knowing this is something that happens and her kids happened to be the ones
I definitely learned a lot about Chicago gang culture. Thank you for takin the time to make this video. I’m at work and I watched/listened to ever second.
I hope this video aint teach u our gang culture out here because it was inaccurate. A whole lot of talking and not saying nothing. Because Ross just as lost about Chicago as the ppl that watch his videos
Not necessarily. I've seen hood niccas bout to go to war over $3. Mofos will kill someone for stepping on their Jordans. Or sleeping with their baby momma. Doesn't take much at all to have someone killed in the hood.
I done seen this 3 times on here and even paid to watch the uncut version of Patreon. This is excellent research and work by you Trap. These documentaries help me get through my days at work. I appreciate the content, tho sad, it's much needed. No light is shined on such incidents. You broke everything down just like your other gang videos. It's truly sad to see how our youth are going out nowadays. It's not just Chicago, many of our urban cities are experiencing violence on this same scale. We can only pray things get better, but unfortunately, things will only get worse.
I can't believe what i just watched . Handsdwon worth the watch and one of the best non clout chasing heartfelt breakdowns of chicago gang violence . RIP to all lives lost in this vicious cycle.
The KTS Dre and Kyro dynamic always hurt the most to me.. I saw them go live together before this documentary.. and if it wasn’t because of the genocide they were born into they woulda been the best of friends ...shit is indescribably insane
okay nah this one might be stretching it. we dk what they "could've been" if they didn't grow up as opps, bc they did. talking like these men who fully hated each other could've been buddy buddy in another reality is just fantastical bruh
@@droomzy 051 Melly and THF Zoo could've been best friends had they not been at war with each other so its not a stretch at all, melly and zoo genuinely liked each other and expressed it too they've chilled and gambled with each other and everything they respected each other enough to have a small level of trust most people In that situation wouldn't dare. Zoo tries to play it off now melly gone by dissing him but he kinda misses melly he actually expressed that before and said he respected him and how real he was but of course when he got around Durk and Von he did all that dissing saying melly was a bitch and when fans reminded him of what he said before he pretended he ain't know what they were talking about. A lot of these guys can't show their emotions and put up a mask pretending I wouldn't go as far to say Kyro miss KTS Dre or anything but they probably could've been at least cool if their lives were different I wouldn't say best friends though.
@@violetsrayreikishop2 oh yeah Melly & Zoo actually had a lot in common tho. they were around the same age, they both moved like ghosts, they each had HELLA bodies & they were top members in their sets. but even with those 2, Zoo seems way more mature imo; whereas Melly was kind of a joker in comparison. I do agree that they'd have had a fairer shot at being homeboys tho, bc there was a degree of mutual respect between them. Kyro & Dre were yelling at each other & waving weapons in each other's face. plus Rio spoke deadass threats nearly the entire live, even tho Kyro was way more laidback about it. one of them's confrontational & the other's not taking shit too seriously. Ig in another reality they *could have* gotten along if need be, but unfortunately that's not *this* reality. RIP to KTS Rio, Melly, Von, & all the other gangsters who died from living the only life they knew
I was born & raised in Chicago. I LOVE MY CITY! However, all the loss of lives l devastates me. Thank you for doing such a great piece. Prayerfully, the young people take notice and stop the loss of our Black Men. 🙏💕
Bro, I followed DJ Akademiks in the 2010's with the War In Chiraq videos.. I'm so glad u are covering all of these!!! I'm so happy u have graced us with more Chicago coverage bc there is SOOOOOOO MUCH people don't know & def should be educated on! For the Drill music's sake!! You truly are the GOAT of this game!!
In reality this was a very sad story. Seeing the back and forth disrespect in real time I never stepped back and realized how difficult these young men have it in that environment. Shoota shellz was only 21 and died horribly. His mother father brother and himself all victims of violence. KTS Dre couldn't even have a funeral. Clearly NLMB having the most brutal killers is their claim to prosperity. What a life in what's supposed to be a first world country. This would've been an hour longer video if you included the no limit oblock connection and the death of gbe capo and also the beef between gbe and oblock and how that ties into the NLMB saga. If the Mexican cartels had mainstream rappers would be the only way we would see a more violent depiction of reality. Rip to all the lives lost
Incredible. This is a very well done video. You clearly have done your research and provide a detailed unbiased explanation of what is going on in our streets. Hopefully with informative docs such as this more people will see things desperately need to change. Not just in the streets but in our own living rooms. Lead by example.
@@damotheman4196 Appreciate you checking in. Ever since my daughter started day school, she brings home the worst sorts of germs all the time lmao. So I've been getting sick a lot more, mostly sinus related stuff. Haven't been able to breathe that well for a few days, at least through my nose lol. Typical drainage in the throat and low energy. That sort of thing
Crazy how in 2012 me and my homies was blasting Chicago drill not knowing all this shit was 100% true and truly a war. Thumbs up to all the guys that made it out and stay away from that shit like Keef, truly inspiring and should be used as a model for rappers coming up in the chi to keep to their business and leave the streets alone. Shit only ends 2 ways, ina box or ina cell. 🙏
NGL this is one of the best documentaries I ever watched you being from across the world let’s me know you put in work on the research side whether all of this is true or not definitely earned a sub & like you

@@default179 “those fellas in that organization had Juice Wrld throwing gang signs, touting the legitimacy of the gang, and holding narcotics for them, it was outrageous”
That was a heartbreaking story. Thank you very much for the work you put in to make it and for bringing it to people who without you may never have a clue as to the danger fear and pain sadly a lot of people go through on a daily basis.
I hate what my people are doing to each other.. the levels in Chicago are INSANE. I wonder just how desensitised the communities are? From the police, to the hospital workers, residents, families - that's a whole lot of trauma to have to protect yourself from mentally. And it seems it's not going to stop.
Hate it too, but look at the history. Shit was happening since the 1950 1960, all those members had kids and such since then, its never gonna stop or maybe itll die down to a point where they dont glorify it but who knows. Its sad noneless
@@Pinkarmada01 well Chicago has been a bloodlands since the Al Capone days but the real spike in crime in Chicago occurred during the 90's when the feds we're locking every single soul up to clean up the streets. That left out young gang members who wanted to prove themselves.
This comment is for TRAP LORE ROSS . I have to say that you are a very amazing as well as talented. I am a Black Latino in SAN ANTONIO , TEXAS . I am an older individual but very much in to the rap scene and don’t know half as much as you do. Where do you get all that info from? And how the hell do you remember all that shit ? You deserve to do what you do. I know that there are some people that think you should not do what you do . They don’t understand your true calling to this profession and on top of all that you live over seas that in itself is amazing you need to get a Grammy and some type of honor. Brother I salute you.
Dang I was literally just looking to see if I’d missed you drop last night - but you were actually just wanting to make sure I was well rested and about to blow out half my work day instead! 🤣 so thoughtful thanks.
I'm from Scotland, and the last time we had anything even close to this level violence was before the 2000's in a place called the Gorbals. To me, I never actually had an idea of what gang life could even be like, so this video was really enlightening to me (and sobering to the reality instead of played up media representations). Praying for some social reform and rebuilding of the worse parts of Chicago, no-one should be born into a life like this.
I studied in Scotland, Strathclyde, precisely. I didn't experience gang tussle but could see guys forming a gang in the city center, making noise while cops are on alert. My days in Glasgow were peaceful.
I really like Kyro, he's always been hilarious and interesting. But I feel that since the FBI touched down after Shootashellz looking at No Limit, they did that interview saying Herbo isn't NLMB to distance him. No-one was flying to Egypt in 2020 or the years after cos of covid. Not really a broken promise. They did the same to Bibby when he went clear, yet spent tons of time with Juice WRLD who they clearly loved. I think they're just a little more street smarter than King Von etc when it comes to distancing street stuff from online/police stuff. But that's just a theory. Thank you for sharing these stories with such grace. These boys/men/communities deserve the same respect we give to other gang members like Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, the Five Families etc. The history of No Limit is an important piece of factually documenting the past and present of the country. Plus they deserve to all be remembered, not to glorify crime, but because they were here, they were human and lived important lives, loved and were loved and went through a lot just to try and survive. I don't know why people who will watch or document other history think these communities don't deserve the same. Both the dead and living. Thank you for the amazing detail and care put into this! x
Everybody's life is important but what they do with their life might not be important. These people took out folks that sometimes didn't even have anything to do with what they were dealing with directly. Black on black crime is never good killing people and joking about it and joking about the dead is never good spraying a group of people and 4-year-olds getting shot because you want to even the scoreboard is not worth it. I know what you're saying about the other gangsters being glorified but we can glorify the Italians the Irish and the white guys doing it that's on them. But we're not going at oppressors for police or anything like that it's just basically thugs these guys weren't even making a lot of money so it's nothing to look at those Italian Guys in Irish and whites they did some of the similar things but they built something not just a street game there are still things to this day that was built because of them half of New York was built due to the Italians so let's be real positive and negatives to everything and all I see with our community is all negative and there's absolutely no positive money-wise cultural wise and we're still oppressed at least the Italians are respected we're not so rethink the post I know you wrote it out and it sounded good but to be honest with you the way some of these guys died for the reasons they die wasn't for territory wasn't for drugs it wasn't for any of that is because people were in that feelings because somebody killed their homeboy and they have to get the payback that's all it is nothing got built off of any of that.
@@yetundeoluwole-2991 go back and watch the video. Those kids were not involved in the gang life. They were visiting their grandmother. None of the 4 people killed that day were a part of this beef.
Respect for all the hard work that you put in to put something together like this. I’m usually put off by how long these are but I watched the whole thing today and I was gripped throughout it. Chicago is hell on earth, I genuinely feel for parents of children growing up in that place

Great doc Ross. With the info you gave regarding the mishandling of cases and light sentences it’s no wonder the violence is so high in Chicago. Such light repercussions even for repeat offenders and people suspected of SEVERAL homicides
Why tf would you give a harsh repercussion to a SUSPECT, they a suspect for a reason, I don't see these typa comments for mobsters and biker gangs and shit, yall wanna give a nigga 25 to life because he made a mistake in the past and he's a suspect now.
That would be the shit. There are alot of crazy stories from that era especially the beefs pimp c had and the ones between artists from swisha house and rap alot.
@BillyBob No shit he isn't gonna go up there, any White dude going to those neighborhoods even just to cover the story are gonna be a target, intentionally or not
Very few channels are as impressive as you are with storytelling. You kept me locked in the whole 3 hrs. That says a lot about you my man keep it up💯💯💯
I saw this, saw the length, and legit said to myself “No. We will save this for the proper sit and listen.” And that’s the power this man’s documentaries have lol
Titles like this are extremely dangerous and disgusting and insidious. This is why white people like this shouldn't be associated with our culture because this is actually a defamation of character lawsuit off this title alone. As he doesn't live in America so he pillages from Black American culture to mearly paint evil images.
Now where is his videos exposing law enforcement in America? Exposing the US government? Where was his 3 hour video involving the George Floyd execution since things are such based on Black American violence? He's not even in America telling us what record label is the most deadly gang definitively and its beyond disgusting and racist. He has zero words for gangs in law enforcement here in America but he's making these films to have Black artists get indicted. Why do I even have to say this? It's right in front of ya'll faces.
I repeat he's done no videos about the evil and gangs in law enforcement in America because all these films he makes is all energy to indict Black artists for the police.... as someone who doesn't even live on America. Where is all this might and energy to talk about the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo Boys? This is all insidious racist tactics and he hates it when I call him out on this because everyone agrees its just the God honest truth.
I did the exact same
Soon as I saw him talk about the the P stones I said. “Oop,this has to be given attention”
bro i literally waited a day till now so i could have some nice food as i watched 😭
Always when it come to Ross videos 💪🏼
The fact these young men and teenagers are putting out all this information about their illegal activities...so much information that a journalist/blogger/researcher is able to produce a 3 hr documentary is crazy to me.
I feel the same exact way! He should do a documentary on the people in jail because of the internet!
A lot of this information is out there for anyone to research I think after looking it all up he put together quite a good documentary I’m from England myself I find all this drill and gang stuff very interesting but also quite sad because most of them who get killed are really young, if only they had lived five or so more years they might have grown out of this street gang life and settled down, even when some of them make it big in the music industry they end up getting killed and that’s even worse, look at Von for instance he could have gone to the top but he couldn’t leave the street life behind him. Anyway great video as usual Ross keep them coming.
Imagine what the cops already got
Being a police officer working on gang unit must be the easiest thing in the world, these guys shoot an opp then post about it on twitter then say whose snitching when they get arrested
And they beat a lot of these cases too which is crazy
At the end of the day when you look deep in those conflicts, you discover that they are killing each other over nothing
They are the same person on each side. They are literally killing themselves. It’s really sad.
literally just said this... meanwhile everybody in the comments just talking about how great the content was and fanned out from the music smh
You don’t even have to look deep. None of them own the property they’re dying over. It’s right on the surface. I’m not dying over some place I pay rent at
@@rarebreed4512 No one told them to do this. If they don’t want their lives to be content, they shouldn’t post it all
It was money at first then revenge killings so I wouldn’t say it’s over nothing…that’s disrespectful
It's really crazy how all of this unfolds like it's a movie despite the fact that this is real life...
It's as if death means nothing to these guys, it's a right of passage for the lifestyle that they choose to partake in.
I live here and it’s like it’s the battle of who got the most F’d up stories. It’s mfs here who will knock up a female, just to have a Bm they can complain about. It’s crazy asf.
Death mean everything to them. It’s mostly retaliation. And “I gotta get them before they get me.” It is sad to see those!
It’s scary that human lives mean so little to them.
That is the day that we live. Normalizing, brutality… Platforms allow it as freedom of press.
It just watched 2 of your videos before I watch this the new shadow realm video kool how you support
This whole war between them is like a movie. Getting outside jail and shot 64 times? The top killer snitching on his death bed? Even the fact that death is so common, a random bystander placed a sheet over a body on the street without even calling the police. Everything seems so crazy.
I'm torn on if it was snitching when he was so drugged up... Did he know who he was talking to or understand what he was doing at the time? I have a feeling the deathbed confession wouldn't hold that strong in court due to the drugs and how messed up he was. But I don't know.
In India a guy was on trial for 19 MURDERS and his opps DRESSED AS LAWYERS AND SHOT HIM DEAD IN COURT u can look it up there’s crazy shit around the whole world

Have a pretty interesting story about the stones from a long time ago. Back in the 60s my great grandma, a white Jewish woman, ran a liquor store around 67th and Stoney Island in Woodlawn. Her store would be frequented by the local Blackstone Rangers and from what I heard she actually had a good relationship with them. During her time running the store no one ever robbed her or hassled her for protection money. There were times that gang members would actually politely ask her for paper bags, which they would end up using when robbing neighboring stores lol. The crazy part of this story was after the MLK riots in Chicago, rioters broke her store's windows, and because the stones thought so highly of her they actually helped her fix her windows.
Its pretty crazy how much different things are nowadays, but I think its important for people to learn about why things have gotten so bad. In order to find a solution.
Cool story bro, but what’s the point? You neither raised any question nor answered any. What did your last paragraph have to do with the preceding? 🤷🏽♂️
I only see media pushing hate.. Every single person I meet be it, White,Black,Latino,Asian,Middle Eastern,Indian ect. all could care less what color I am. As long as I honor whatever our agreement is, we're good. Pretty sure that's the majority of the world. My Aunt was a hippie, white, pharmacist's daughter who was protected by the Black Panthers on Hate and Ashbury back in the G.. She believed in what they were doing and worked closely to help.(I believe she was studying Law) In turn they protected her heavily, and her Dad's pharmacy while Escorting her around San Fran. She said she felt like a Boss with those dudes by her side. She tells some wild stories of those days..

@@won2600 you right, it’s a comment section. I made a comment.
The crazy part about it is that these dudes knew they had beef in the street, but most of them always got caught walking somewhere or standing around in plain sight as if nothing is up
That's what I don't understand. Like did they forget a lot of people wanted them dead and still walk near or through neighborhoods where the same people are? It's like they act like they're ready to die but when it comes most run, which is understandable, but why just be out like that?
@@markanthony1004it’s who they are. What makes them part of the gang life is what also makes them think they’re untouchable! Their carelessness of shooting someone and taking a life also translates to their carelessness of going out on the street thinking they are untouchable. That’s why it’s always the biggest killers that get killed. It’s crazy how it works.
They keep forgetting they not bullet proof
This is honestly amazing! It's like having a compilation of 25 videos in order (6+ months and more worth lol). Each one leading into the next.

The way you structure these videos is insane. You’re able to captivate people that have no prior knowledge on the situation. You see the title “The Murder Of KTS Von” at 1:28:18 and go “oh shit” because you recognize how crazy that is. You’re able to stress the importance of the people in these situations and the severity of their deaths so well. A masterclass in documentaries.

As a law student the thing that sticks out to me most is a failure by the prosecutors to hold anyone accountable for their crimes despite the evidence against them.
No face no case. Not saying it's an excuse for all of them, but proving something in court is a lot harder than you'd think. The defense just needs to prove doubt. The just system is twisted. You'll learn soon enough! Congrats on the career choice btw!

I am so immersed in this documentary that I just watched all three hours in one sitting. Absolutely phenomenal piece, TLR is the undisputed champ of this brand of content.
Ross. Every video of yours I've seen you've had different styled hair and I must say you pull em ALL off wonderfully!
1:58:28 it’s crazy how the two guys mother just seemed so unphased until she broke down. You can tell she lived in the area knowing this is something that happens and her kids happened to be the ones
She knew her kids were in the streets, she just wasn’t going to say that to the world.
She's also clearly a drug user so her perceptions are a little skewed.

I definitely learned a lot about Chicago gang culture. Thank you for takin the time to make this video. I’m at work and I watched/listened to ever second.
I hope this video aint teach u our gang culture out here because it was inaccurate. A whole lot of talking and not saying nothing. Because Ross just as lost about Chicago as the ppl that watch his videos

Getting paid a $1 to kill someone is the wildest shit ever
It's the truth, I'm from Chicago Illinois
Put that murder on lay away
Wtf,people are dumb,a $ for all that jail time,they might as well just kill themselves and be done. That sh!ts not wild it's SAD + DESPERATE AF
$1 back then is about $5 now, still crazy though
Not necessarily. I've seen hood niccas bout to go to war over $3. Mofos will kill someone for stepping on their Jordans. Or sleeping with their baby momma. Doesn't take much at all to have someone killed in the hood.
This channel is gold, the fact that a white man is able to capture the complexities of gang culture so intricately is impressive to say the least
You sound racist lol
Don’t ever change your format brother! I love how you make these docs 2-3 hours long now. Don’t change it!
I done seen this 3 times on here and even paid to watch the uncut version of Patreon. This is excellent research and work by you Trap. These documentaries help me get through my days at work. I appreciate the content, tho sad, it's much needed. No light is shined on such incidents. You broke everything down just like your other gang videos. It's truly sad to see how our youth are going out nowadays. It's not just Chicago, many of our urban cities are experiencing violence on this same scale. We can only pray things get better, but unfortunately, things will only get worse.
I can't believe what i just watched . Handsdwon worth the watch and one of the best non clout chasing heartfelt breakdowns of chicago gang violence . RIP to all lives lost in this vicious cycle.
The KTS Dre and Kyro dynamic always hurt the most to me.. I saw them go live together before this documentary.. and if it wasn’t because of the genocide they were born into they woulda been the best of friends ...shit is indescribably insane
Bruh what
okay nah this one might be stretching it. we dk what they "could've been" if they didn't grow up as opps, bc they did. talking like these men who fully hated each other could've been buddy buddy in another reality is just fantastical bruh
@@droomzy 051 Melly and THF Zoo could've been best friends had they not been at war with each other so its not a stretch at all, melly and zoo genuinely liked each other and expressed it too they've chilled and gambled with each other and everything they respected each other enough to have a small level of trust most people In that situation wouldn't dare. Zoo tries to play it off now melly gone by dissing him but he kinda misses melly he actually expressed that before and said he respected him and how real he was but of course when he got around Durk and Von he did all that dissing saying melly was a bitch and when fans reminded him of what he said before he pretended he ain't know what they were talking about. A lot of these guys can't show their emotions and put up a mask pretending I wouldn't go as far to say Kyro miss KTS Dre or anything but they probably could've been at least cool if their lives were different I wouldn't say best friends though.
@@violetsrayreikishop2 oh yeah Melly & Zoo actually had a lot in common tho. they were around the same age, they both moved like ghosts, they each had HELLA bodies & they were top members in their sets. but even with those 2, Zoo seems way more mature imo; whereas Melly was kind of a joker in comparison. I do agree that they'd have had a fairer shot at being homeboys tho, bc there was a degree of mutual respect between them. Kyro & Dre were yelling at each other & waving weapons in each other's face. plus Rio spoke deadass threats nearly the entire live, even tho Kyro was way more laidback about it. one of them's confrontational & the other's not taking shit too seriously. Ig in another reality they *could have* gotten along if need be, but unfortunately that's not *this* reality. RIP to KTS Rio, Melly, Von, & all the other gangsters who died from living the only life they knew
That tribal DNA came out in both of them real quick.
Really getting into these videos lately you bring all the facts
I was born & raised in Chicago. I LOVE MY CITY! However, all the loss of lives l devastates me. Thank you for doing such a great piece. Prayerfully, the young people take notice and stop the loss of our Black Men. 🙏💕

Trap Lore Ross, keep up what you're doing. Fascinating documentaries. Well done.
In reality this was a very sad story. Seeing the back and forth disrespect in real time I never stepped back and realized how difficult these young men have it in that environment. Shoota shellz was only 21 and died horribly. His mother father brother and himself all victims of violence. KTS Dre couldn't even have a funeral. Clearly NLMB having the most brutal killers is their claim to prosperity. What a life in what's supposed to be a first world country. This would've been an hour longer video if you included the no limit oblock connection and the death of gbe capo and also the beef between gbe and oblock and how that ties into the NLMB saga. If the Mexican cartels had mainstream rappers would be the only way we would see a more violent depiction of reality. Rip to all the lives lost

Incredible. This is a very well done video. You clearly have done your research and provide a detailed unbiased explanation of what is going on in our streets. Hopefully with informative docs such as this more people will see things desperately need to change. Not just in the streets but in our own living rooms. Lead by example.

Thumbs up to all the guys that made it out and stay away from that shit like Keef, truly inspiring and should be used as a model for rappers coming up in the chi to keep to their business and leave the streets alone.

That was a heartbreaking story. Thank you very much for the work you put in to make it and for bringing it to people who without you may never have a clue as to the danger fear and pain sadly a lot of people go through on a daily basis.
I hate what my people are doing to each other.. the levels in Chicago are INSANE. I wonder just how desensitised the communities are? From the police, to the hospital workers, residents, families - that's a whole lot of trauma to have to protect yourself from mentally. And it seems it's not going to stop.
Hate it too, but look at the history. Shit was happening since the 1950 1960, all those members had kids and such since then, its never gonna stop or maybe itll die down to a point where they dont glorify it but who knows. Its sad noneless
@@Pinkarmada01 well Chicago has been a bloodlands since the Al Capone days but the real spike in crime in Chicago occurred during the 90's when the feds we're locking every single soul up to clean up the streets. That left out young gang members who wanted to prove themselves.
The saddest thing is that is happens in most cities all over the country. 🤦🏾
@@BlackBirdieGolf not likeChicago it doesnt

All 3 hrs?
This comment is for TRAP LORE ROSS . I have to say that you are a very amazing as well as talented. I am a Black Latino in SAN ANTONIO , TEXAS . I am an older individual but very much in to the rap scene and don’t know half as much as you do. Where do you get all that info from? And how the hell do you remember all that shit ? You deserve to do what you do. I know that there are some people that think you should not do what you do . They don’t understand your true calling to this profession and on top of all that you live over seas that in itself is amazing you need to get a Grammy and some type of honor. Brother I salute you.
Tf is a black Latino!? 😂
Dang I was literally just looking to see if I’d missed you drop last night - but you were actually just wanting to make sure I was well rested and about to blow out half my work day instead! 🤣 so thoughtful thanks.
I'm from Scotland, and the last time we had anything even close to this level violence was before the 2000's in a place called the Gorbals. To me, I never actually had an idea of what gang life could even be like, so this video was really enlightening to me (and sobering to the reality instead of played up media representations). Praying for some social reform and rebuilding of the worse parts of Chicago, no-one should be born into a life like this.
I studied in Scotland, Strathclyde, precisely. I didn't experience gang tussle but could see guys forming a gang in the city center, making noise while cops are on alert. My days in Glasgow were peaceful.
What happened in the gorbals in the 2000s???
@@janvernel5569 just lots of gang related violence. illegal firearms were used and LOTS of stabbings. nothing near what happens in chicago
Last time Scotland had that level of violence, England was an enemy! 😂
@@zh2266New York City 1992-2002 and Chicago 2012-2017 were the bloodiest years in American history.
I really like Kyro, he's always been hilarious and interesting. But I feel that since the FBI touched down after Shootashellz looking at No Limit, they did that interview saying Herbo isn't NLMB to distance him. No-one was flying to Egypt in 2020 or the years after cos of covid. Not really a broken promise. They did the same to Bibby when he went clear, yet spent tons of time with Juice WRLD who they clearly loved. I think they're just a little more street smarter than King Von etc when it comes to distancing street stuff from online/police stuff. But that's just a theory. Thank you for sharing these stories with such grace. These boys/men/communities deserve the same respect we give to other gang members like Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, the Five Families etc. The history of No Limit is an important piece of factually documenting the past and present of the country. Plus they deserve to all be remembered, not to glorify crime, but because they were here, they were human and lived important lives, loved and were loved and went through a lot just to try and survive. I don't know why people who will watch or document other history think these communities don't deserve the same. Both the dead and living. Thank you for the amazing detail and care put into this! x
Everybody's life is important but what they do with their life might not be important. These people took out folks that sometimes didn't even have anything to do with what they were dealing with directly. Black on black crime is never good killing people and joking about it and joking about the dead is never good spraying a group of people and 4-year-olds getting shot because you want to even the scoreboard is not worth it. I know what you're saying about the other gangsters being glorified but we can glorify the Italians the Irish and the white guys doing it that's on them. But we're not going at oppressors for police or anything like that it's just basically thugs these guys weren't even making a lot of money so it's nothing to look at those Italian Guys in Irish and whites they did some of the similar things but they built something not just a street game there are still things to this day that was built because of them half of New York was built due to the Italians so let's be real positive and negatives to everything and all I see with our community is all negative and there's absolutely no positive money-wise cultural wise and we're still oppressed at least the Italians are respected we're not so rethink the post I know you wrote it out and it sounded good but to be honest with you the way some of these guys died for the reasons they die wasn't for territory wasn't for drugs it wasn't for any of that is because people were in that feelings because somebody killed their homeboy and they have to get the payback that's all it is nothing got built off of any of that.
That’s exactly what they did . They are trying to clear his name so he doesn’t get indicted .
Kyro the best actor in the world then if that’s true 😂
Juice wrld claiming NLMB & merching on their dead homies is extremely cringe… just thought that was worth mentioning
great comment

Great doc Ross. With the info you gave regarding the mishandling of cases and light sentences it’s no wonder the violence is so high in Chicago. Such light repercussions even for repeat offenders and people suspected of SEVERAL homicides
