Anyone who knows knows Pablo is as not the richest at all Pablo is only the biggest known cause of the war with the gov everyone knows who’s Rafa was and who the richest were Pablo couldn’t be the richest cause of all the drama Rafa is his own boss
I'm surprised you got Alex to talk about all this. That's amazing bro. I'm glad you out on the city Miami. Shout out my dawg Alex and Organic Food Kingz
Johnny try and come over to England the cocaine capital of Europe.
Johnny Mitchel is a liar and a clown..
You straight-up earned my subscription. Enticingly edited, truly informed sources, and some actual new history of the era, not just rehashed clips. Good on ya
The content is getting better & better with every video you drop bro!!! 💯💯💯💯
Great episode! Can’t wait for next week
Alex is definitely a real one, and the streets respect him from NY to Miami. Laugh at the vegan thing if you want, but this Brother went legit and now runs several successful businesses. Salute!
No reason to laugh at vegans. Wtf is wrong with people
And starting a business knowing damn well it's gonna successful you don't start a business cause you want to well you obviously donthay but the type of business you start you wanna make sure it'll make money and my man did that smart
hes lying about the kidbapping
@Tristan Rivers lol! The streets don't give a fuck who your daddy is. This dude got pinched as soon as he went dolo, how does that give him a crazy rep?
I'm with you broski
Idek why being vegan is a diss? (I'm not but so what!!!)
Just discovered your channel. Compelling story! Almost wish I didn’t find it until Part II was released as I hate the suspense 💕
That was an amazing episode.
Always been a big fan of the old real cocaine story's from back in the day's. Especially when told by someone that lived it or was around during that Era 💯
Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
Well Rafa was a snitch. Don't listen to this kid
No max mermelstein was the snitch!!!
Truly unique and amazing channel. Subscribed! Thank you.....
This back2back story telling is DOPE🎯
You doing a great job 👏 good info
I’ve just come across your channel & watched this bro (top stuff) I’ve been into all the cocaine cowboys stuff since the documentary came out so this was awesome to watch. It would be great to see more stuff about the other hitmen who were in griseldas crew too put together 10/10 just like this was… (I’m subscribing aswell)
Brilliant content pal
Thy for this upload covering this topic i love the cocaine cowboys documentary story I saw the part 2 when griselda went against the cartel. Ty !! This awesome.
it's cool that your showing the people of miami that were involved in that because about i started looking in to this but there's not a lot of information on all those people i also sometimes wonder who a lot of the people were in miami that had got killed because there was a lot of deaths in that war but they never say who they were so it's interesting to hear it from someone who ACTUALLY has some insight on the whole era
Powerful story good narrative perspective style of coverage with both narrorating seperatly.good techniques
Much needed I been waiting on story on Rafa for years at least 10 I always knew he was special
Great video thanks 💯
That was unreal. Such a cliff hanger at the end 😭😭😭
Awesome cheers mate 👍
Shoutout to Alex. We helped him make Organic HUGE and now we run Miami Vegan food. Alex is my BROTHER and its forever. Alex + Me + Tyler Wisby are the wave in the south. Ya heard me
the background music is fire for no reason
I absolutely love this style of interview. Obviously johnny wasnt able to meet the guy for whatever reason but it actually felt more like a documentary than an interview and i really enjoyed it
There in the video together walking down the street so he did meet him
Therefore Alex could finish every sentence
@@tipr8739right right... right. right.
We need part 2
Damn, that was a dope ass story. I remember watching cocaine Cowboys, the first one and the second one I remember RAFA.
He's an awesome story teller and did an excellent job of making it seem super realistic as if we are all living that life in that time period
Lyin @$$
HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT RAFA BUT NOT TALK ABOUT THEIR BIGGEST HITMAN IN THAT GRISALDA CREW IT WAS “RIVI” RIVERITO
she was a boss there biggest pusher for miami
The moral of the story was that Rafa, Griselda, Cumbamba ect were the biggest drug dealers AND killers back then. . Rivi was "brought" into the scene Miami scene much later and then he began living the cartel lifestyle. 😊
"Rivi" wasn't as "CRAZY" as all Columbian killers because Rivi was afraid to help "Miguelíto Perez STAB "Pupo Mejia" at Miami International Airport. . . .Migeulíto had to do the stabbing all by himself.
Because this episode isn't about "RIVI"
@@tatebones544 he’s talking about riverito not Blanca … but that whole Griselda organization was undeniable in how they operated and the level of income and influence they built … I’m from bk nyc and grew up around all aspects of the street shxt but def never glamorize or endorse any of it probably cuz I grew up seeing the impact of that lifestyle BUT I believe that legal or not, when a group of ppl are organizing themselves and conducting business in an efficient way to where they earn huge income that goes to support many families and generations …
Hate it or love it, groups like Griselda conducted business in an industry that existed because wealthy white American and European ppl have huge appetite for drugs and these groups filled that desire … they took the risks of insane prison terms for brining in cash like few others industries … and none that they’d be able to access
Cuz the topic is”connect” Rafa was the biggest seller for Griselda at one point
Johnny JD is trying to reach you. Awesome potential for you two together
“Robert agrees to marry his sister…” is a WILD statement. 😂
i'll make you an offer you can't refuse...
Sup Dirk, nice to see you doing good outside jail
you was in their with him ?
At 16.24 that looks like the same Apartment building from wardogs when dude pulls the gun from the trunk trying to buy some smoke
The next ep gonna be a mazza!
Sad to say serio but now that time has passed and these kiddos are now grown Men from there uncles, dads, cousins Thank you for the share I’m sure they would roll over in there graves if they were forgotten !!!!
Fuckkkk!! You got me! I’ll definitely be back next week 💪🏼😂
Without Struggle, There's No Pain. Without Pain, There's No Gain 💯💪🏾💪💪🏽💯💪🏿💪🏼💯
Where is part 2? I cant find it lol
Looking forward to Pt2 😮💨
That was great more more BRAVO 💯💰 part 2#really good 🔥🔥🔥😡😡😡😈
Alex is a good dude now. He was actually recently attacked outside one of his food trucks down here. Hope he’s alright
Great interview but my first thought is he needs to be careful. I assume there’s reasons why this information isn’t so easy to obtain.
The picture you have in the video is not of Pinina. That's "El Arete" . Pinina was in fact one of Pablos closest enforcers. He started with Pablo at a very young age.
Pls do videos on Norte de Valle and Cartel de Atlántico
As much as I love this... The quality is a lot better on here than the Patreon. Please fix it
Mafia beef is truly something else
My boi rocking that mollet
Finna go out there under disguise as passport bro 😂
Rivi was the coldest hit man out of all of them
I have confirmed it is the best vegan food in Miami! I watched the video below and decided to visit his restaurant on my first trip to Miami. I met him in person and I would post the pictures here but it will not let me.
Am colombian as a kid in Colombia I've seen some Crazy mafia stuff in the 70s and 80s Bogota was mob central
Fidel Castro fue el mafioso más grande d latinoamerica tubo ha los colombianos siempre en sus manos como ha la guerrilla d la far
He tells the story like as if he lived it
Took me a lil min to notice he just narrating other man story 😂😂
It’s a bit suspect where matey ends up being the hero every time ain’t it? I think so anyway.
This is that guy you smoke 💨 a blunt with and it’s just burning 🔥 while he tells you his life story 😂😂😂
Respect for this man still respecting his grandma
Where can I find a Rafa shirt??
You said pinina (john jairo arias tascon) but the guy on the picture is el arete (carlos mario alzate urquijo) so what is the deal?
“Rafa Was CRAZY!” -John Roberts
If you had 100 million
Coming from poverty, would you be normal? Lol
Rafa smoked bazooka joints
@@elenahorta7438 I think it was the 100 coke filled cigarettes 🚬 he was chain smoking per day. Bazooka
@@derekolivas6943 “they would empty the tobacco and fill it with cocaine, his table had a huuuuge pile of tobacco all over the place.” 😂
@@elenahorta7438 but to answer your question if I had 5 million not coming from poverty I wouldn’t be close to normal 😂
wheres part 2
Shit enjoy this video i love them all im so into all gangster cartel mafia type shit love your site bro and unique also is a beast when he was in that life great everything
Where can I get one of those nice rosary necklaces similar to the one you got in Mexico ?
You should have showed us pictures of the couple and the family from Columbia!!
I have no idea if these stories are actually 💯 real or not (I’m guessing not) but I can’t deny the storytelling is on point.
You better do your research if you think this is fake lol
Loll howd you guess 'not'?
These stories are probably at least 75% true which makes them all totally insane-
I live in Medellin half the year, still can’t believe what the city of Medellin is now compared to back then
@@joshua-nf3rx id say more like 60% true
This is one of the best channels no doubt,
Matatan. Ribirin HS,
can you talk more about Rafffa? you barely mentioned him
He said Pablo 7 times in one sentence… we get it lol
Wow……………….🏴love from Scotland 🏴
The first route didn’t have a stop at normans kay. The used cesna planes straight to Florida .
The kay came wayyyyy after man
Had higher expectations from the title
Name of track that starts at 29:25
Thanks for telling us everything we're about to hear
hey buddy you have a link of the interview without you interrupting every 30 sec
The Ochoa brothers were the real power. Pablo was the face and the guy who helped open up the routes to get this stuff safely into America and they went ahead and backed the shipments so that if something happened, you didn't lose your s***. With his routes they were basically guaranteeing the successful delivery of product to America.
No one brings up the Ochoas.
@@jonisafreak3because they got away with everything. it would be the same as chapo just saying ok i quit and keep my money.
@@jonisafreak3 nadie menciona ha Fidel Castro jjjj
Cap
how can i join the cartel
Find some interviews to do in Canada,,,, Vancouver or Montreal or Toronto
Lol it’s funny bc if you watch the original cocaine cowboys documentary, everyone tells about how rafa was out of his mind and was a massive junkie
The book American desperado talks about how Rafa was always high on coke also. Your right! Massive junkie.
Where is part 2
Isn't cocaine cowboys a Netflix documentary?
Not the original. There’s a first part that documents gyay like Rafa and a couple others. Then there part 2 that’s about the god mother and a black guy from Oakland she was seeing. Then the Netflix one about the 2 brothers in Miami
No
ya they picked it up way late tho there was already one out and then they snagged it and made a few more but the first one was way better
He dont know
Netflix is trash
i could be wrong but doing the things Rafa did i imagine the less people that knew your name the better !
i would have been fine being totally unknown as long as i was making bank .
🔥
Rafa used to smoke coke on his cigarettes constantly.
Where is part 2???
💯💯
Artisanal cocaine was called Fishscale....ether made it high quality...you can't compare that to anything they make nowadays.... quality over quantity. Small batches sold for 50 K in 81 ...that was the equivalent of 80 thousand in today's money ..you could buy an efficiency in Miami beach For 12k ...
I would really like for you to talk about Amado Carillo Fuentes (El Senor de los Cielos) or Heriberto Lazca Lazcano. They are Mexican cartel kingpins.
I thought this was his story if the people he met before lock up
Or did i miss the part of new storys ???!??
Fidel Castro fue el más grande narco jjj
Caleta means cache just FYI
Drop the music
So the commercials for CBDs and whatnot...way to align the market with the marketING. Continue that and you won't go wrong.
That tells you Pablo Valle puro v
I dont believe this guys story one bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Things arent adding up. But it is a very interesting story tho
Yeah like pablo was nothing without his uncle lol.
You're right.
Hold up at the beginning this dude said there was 4 siblings. His uncle rafa.his dad and his mom and aunt now it different
Everglades City born raised
In a pass video you said you were going to use an Avocado business to smug drugs in to the states and I saw a video recently that the cartels are attacking the Avocado farmers my regards
Untold story of the old heads that went state evidence that story told many times
Facts told my Uncle knew Rafa personally good dude got sum nice story’s told about dem days my Uncle was in da mix n mingling wit da crowd also
Shout out to Alex. That's a real real one. And a New Yorker by birth. Salute.
Love my brother
My brother you know me for year can you tell the haters this gangster shit is not a act lol
Great fucking video
Too many ads!! Its hard to follow the story! Also, add pictures of the subjects!!!
Every one grifting off a time they weren’t alive and embellishing the heck out of stories. Yea I’m an old head that made it out alive from a time many didn’t for various reasons. I don’t claim to be anything other than being in Miami and part of its “nightlife”.
But to see so many coming out of the woodwork hustling for the green it’s funny.
This is for the rafa
Let this man speak! The cuts... please don't make that your go to format.
So now we’re translating for a Colombian speaking English 🤷🏽♂️
