People always see these stories and think the worst outcome is prison . Behind each one of these kingpins are 100,000s of broken hearts , destroyed childhoods . Destroyed lives ! Don’t forget it .
And the people who died.
The black kingpins have been much worst than the Klan. The Klan lynched about 3500 black people. The GD's have killed more in the last 30 years. The Crips the same.
A lot of childhoods and families😞
Big Facts and people glorify this type of BS.... WOW 😲😳 Smdh 💯

That's the real diffinition of not snitching just shut the heck up and stop talking.
These new age kids today need to hear that.
I love the reporters voice, u know the fat man wanted to call him a "house-nigga"
I was born a raised in Detroit, left in 1980. I cry every time I go back and visit when I see how drugs and violence have destroyed a beautiful city. PLEASE DO NOT GLORIFY criminal and destructive behavior. Where does it get you - dead, broke or in jail talking about the good ole days. Give me a break.
Most of his clients were white so good.
All these Drug Kingpins destroyed the Black Hispanic and Poor White Communities that they served Heroin to along with The Racist Government that designed and infiltrated the Drugs into this Country that we are still feeling the repercussions to this day in America.

@@postalcode63 buh it's effecting the community. Because they all end up going to the local dealer White Hispanic Mexican and of course Africans we weren't born with these addictions. We just happen to be exposed by it because it's around us
I haven't seen this documentary in a minute. THE HISTORY OF DETROIT IS 🙌🏿 TREMENDOUS, Riveting, Heartbreaking, uplifting, powerful, traumatic, dramatic.
I give it 5 Stars 🌟
My grandfather was Eddie and Courtney’s realtor. Sold them their houses in Northland Gardens. RIP Al French, he used to tell me stories about how Eddie bought him fur coats and type of gifts. Real OGs Salute 💯
🤣
Interesting
Eddie Jacksons was the underworlds version of chick fila. Taking care of everyone, having cops wanting to protect him, respecting every customer. You don’t see gangsters that take care of their neighbors anymore.
Yeah. He "took' care of his "neighbors". Criminals/gangsters always do.
He was in touch with his humanity
He didn’t want you by do you wrong
@@jenniferwilcox9759 4
This is why eddies kids turned out decent, well spoken, well dressed & politely speaking. He must have been a good man. He's tv interview sounded quite good, I truly have much respect for the man, from the documentary, it's seems he was a good a man. May he have peace.
Eddie jackson is the truth , perfect clothing , perfect hair , respectful , take care of friends that dont have enough he will cover. Plus take trips with friends and family. They need to make a movie about eddie jackson for real.
Yes.I think Fazon Love can play him. They look just alike.Remember Big Worm. Eddie remind me of that character as far as size hair style and facial
Wat u know him
Man I said the same thing. I'd love to see a movie about him. I'm from Detroit and didn't find out about him til a few years ago.
He was a freaking drug dealer who preyed on our people you idiot!!
and a piece of shi
Eddie did people right...that's an amazing and rare quality.
That's why he was the shot caller at Milan
@@alprofit -- There will never be someone like him...real balls + integrity. that is noble.
I truly loved this documentary.
Thank you.
That's the way you play the game. Be decent
@@alprofit being a shot caller in Milan is like being a shot caller in county jail.Same backyard.Being a big dough boy will not make you shot caller material.Its the gangsters who run it
eddie jackson needs a movie, his style was solid and he didnt snitch. anybody who leaves Muhhamad Ali at the door deserves a movie lol
fatt_on da_track the fact that he didn’t snitch is the reason why he hasn’t had a movie or a series .. all they do is show rats ! The stand up guys get nothin ! Just look at the history of kingpin movies and series .. they all told
That wasn't Eddie lol it was Courtney lol
Facts😂🎯
@@Kaustic410 your absolutely right.... guess that's what sales or they dont wanna look bad

Eddie Jackson is and remains a mythical character to many of us that grew up in and around Detroit. No question he was a straight gangsta but he was true businessman that created an empire.
I grew up in the D and didn't hear about him til maybe 2 years ago.
and a piece of shi
He should have created a real business Empire without selling drugs to his own people
Empire of destruction
Wow! A street pharmacist with a heart, morals and a conscience. Somehow you gotta respect that!
🤣
No you don't have to respect a completely emasculated failure of the blackman's true worth to his family, his community, his family, his himself, and his God. If that is what you respect, that's your problem.
@@sayulitalyfe5299 is

Never heard of this Channel or Eddie Jackson and his crew but I must say I watched this entire documentary without stopping. Excellent documentary, Subscribed.
Exactly the same for me.

@Jose Ocasio bumpy johnson ,ike atkinson are the real big ones ,and for me FRANK MATTHEW🗣👑 stands above al of them.

@@terriandavis4579 I've been to the D plenty of times VanDyke and Outer Dr. East side. I have cuz on the westside as well. Just enjoying the documentary bro. Be easy!
I would like to formally and publicly apologize to al profit for comments on another video in which I called al a "capture vulture" these comments are not true and came from a place of frustration. The truth is he provides documentaries on black figures instead of other community's he could focus on and that keeps our culture alive for generations to come . Thank you for your work
Everyone makes mistakes the real men own up to it……..salute to you sir!!!❤
Rip Eddy Jackson... the true don... his crew was tight and his game plan was sharp. #nosnitchin
You said my man. T-I-G-H-T. Not like the bullshit that followed thereafte
fuk him all the people he help kill and the lives he destroyed
Al Profits channel should have over a million subscribers. Does such a good job on street docs, he really gets the history
Rich Krupansky to
No it shouldn't. He's an amateur
All of Al Profit's documentaries are da shit! Suggestion, if a Motown Mafia movie is done Al Profit should be da man to direct it cause he introduced the world to Da Motown Mafia! Eddie Jackson was a Playa fa' Real! Peep out his outfits and his hair! Ask his son how cool his pops was! He knows! Nuff Said!
You know these are the real deal, original, one-of-a-kind OGs --- When they say "Hair -ron" ..... :)
Warren Morphis
Exactly!! that's how we say it in Cali too lol!!
56 yrs old and I haven't heard hair ron in years
😳🤣😂
thats how every black person over the age of roughly 40 says it here in minneapolis 2
That's how most black ppl in the south still say it
Finally a good documentary where Nobody snitched!! Eddie and Courtney were real stand up guys!!!! #RareBreeds 💯
100 💯 percent all of them were pieces of shi, killing their own people
But they were still selling drugs to their own people
The fat man just wanted
2 make money not bloodbaths
In da streets or kill all his competition
He wanted the brothas to eat
🤣
pure foolishness
The part I love most about your series and the family members who spoke on Eddie was that they gave you an honest portrayal and didnt glorify it
WOW, that was one the greatest documentary or untold story I've seen on the 20th century drug trade in America!
Very well put together + authentic to its core, showing the drastic differences between the drug lords of yesteryear compared to the brutal + ruthless sociopaths of modern day kingpins!
30 ppl indicted, no snitches , those days been over
That was before rico hit organized crime hard...once the feds came with 100 to life sentences the street code started going out the window cause niggas was more scared of dying in jail than there own family and friends
@neon I'm not making an excuse for snitching just simply stating why more niggas flipped as time went on....in the 70s those drug charges were getting you 5 to 25 at the most ....niggas was willing to sit that out but once rico hit the rise in cooperation grew across the board from black to Italian organizations niggas started telling cause they wasnt seeing daylight again or to avoid the death penalty
Flex Mentallo they also didn’t have the forensic evidence like they have nowadays, so I do believe the loyalty and honour code was probably more tighter those days but it’d still be a different story if they had the modern forensics back than.
Detroit has a STRONG......NO SNITCHIN CLAUSE!!!! (Meech ain't snitching either)
30 ppl can keep a secret. If 29 are dead
Al, you’re pieces have gotten so dope over the years. I appreciate you sir, UA-cam gem!
Faizon Love as Eddie Sr., hands down
Sahilee Smithslowjams facts who we gone get to play Courtney sr ?
Perfect match for the role!
No! Cedric the entertainer
@@_CashFlowTy idk, maybe a fresh acting cat for him, nothing seasoned.
Yep or Jamal Woolard
Hollywood needs to stop focusing on the Italian mafia movies, and start focusing on the Black Mafia. There are tons of fresh stories here
They dont want show that black people can organise and control
For the most part, this is the story of New Jack City they just based it in NY and called it fiction.
The one difference that you are missing, the Italian mafia, pushed drugs away from their neighborhoods, they knew they have to keep as many of their people intact, not weak and useless. That’s mafia. These guys was a well neighborhood crew that had some mafia like movements, like having cops on the pay role, but they killed their own neighborhood.Remember the mafia always was about hiding the wealth until they was able to wash the money in businesses to prove where the money came from, that’s why they made the (Rico law)
We made enough movies about pimping and houing. We the biggest hoes they got. “R. Pryor.
@@jody8526937 the truest shit he said!! Waayy back in 1976
Eddie Jackson was a brilliant man, i understand what his plan was.
Al, your stuff just gets better and better. You're the top dog of the crime doc genre. Keep 'em coming.
The reason people didn't know ABOUT Eddie Jackson because he did to much GOOD IN THE HOOD.
Exactly!!!!
Fuk him and, all dope pushers
Be.dope pushing sleaze bag
He was a failed human being. Anyone who honors these so called men are scum.
Eddie son is JUST LIKE his dad and grand dad...Courtney is JUST LIKE his dad but he used the wisdom for a better LEGAL outcome.

Nice documentary!!!! Loved it! Real people self!!! No snitching or folding. And their kids ended up very well educated. From the bottom to the top! Salute and R.i.p Eddie Jackson “The crowd pleaser” 💯🙏🏾🕊
right don't snitch on killing your own people and destroying so many lives
wtf
Real OG’s this the first time I’ve heard about Eddie Jackson REAL GANGSTERS ☝🏾
American dope is just one of the very best and most entertaining shows on UA-cam.
Man the seventies seems like the time of a lifetime!
Thought that often, too. In quality of music, and style and many new things that are bad copies today!
Especially the wardrobe....they was so sharp in those times....
So wish I was born in the 60s so I could have enjoyed living&being BLACK in the 70s&80's. The family unit, music, respect for OTHERS was a priority during that time. Today is a wannabe, drama infested era. Social media has fried these youngins brains. No respect for OTHERS especially the Black Woman. Smh....
@@troizkastenstein357 i agree with all you said 100%!!
Troiz Kastenstein 70s 80s mid 90s best times ever glad i experience it with no bloody iPhones 📲
Finally a proper documentary from this channel done proper, all the way through. Please keep this length of documentaries the same. Bravo 👏. God Bless.
You didn't hear about EJ & CO. because he didn't put his business on the street. The biggest thing of any business venture is treating everyone involved with the utmost respect and taking care of everyone. Greed and jealousy are the factors that destroy these empires, especially when it comes to "black" gangsters. This guy was a kingpin in every way you can fathom.
100% brother that is just fact
What? Even the media knew who he was, so it's not like he was a Frank Mathews type character. Frank was way more illusive, in fact, the police didn't know he was a drug kingpin nevermind news reporters etc.
Dam Eiddie Jackson is probably the most nicest and loyal, stand up kingpin of all times.
Facts!!!!
Fr. We all know that selling dope is not rite. But. We can live with it if killing people was out of it.
@Sick Boy problem is the ones who do good business get killed cause niggas would rather make the quick few thousand not thinking they giving up the slow millions
And Frank matthews salute him Eddie and the real ogz

What’s sad is that the OG’S are still in the struggle. Save young kids....live and learn

Man, this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I'm so happy I just found this channel.
Edit, I watched this whole thing from start to finish and somehow I didn't know about this until now. Its really amazing how nobody snitched out of 30 people. I've been around a little game in my past, nothing remotely on this level obviously, and luckily I knew when to call it quits. But I got to sit back and watch all my so called friends rat each other out just trying to save a little time. I'm not sure if this type of thing will ever be possible again in this day and age.
Me too shyt was Dope👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It won’t
The crazy part is people know it’s 3 things that can come out of selling drugs and that’s somebody gonna snitch, death or you going to jail long as there making money it’s cool, but soon as they get caught up mf’s get to singing like Patti LaBelle like Eddie Jr said in the documentary if you can’t do the time find a legit job the drug business is not for you 🤷🏾♂️
Never. No loyalty now and days everyone stabbing you in the back you cant have people like that around you.
Well John classen and his daughters and stepson. Treated me like family we lived almost directly across the street on parker ..he would pay me 25$ to shovel snow or rake leaves.when he moved into a certain mansion he told to come and without talking there about 3 million bucks stacked up and never mentioned again..he has always been my friend..I even copied his mustache

It needs to be a movie. America is obsessed with gangster movies. Not saying it’s right, but if it’s ok to glorify Italian gangsters then why not show the black Kingpin?
“We would take a key & make 9 keys..” damn what a get back!!
THIS needs to be made into a movie by black writers and directed by a black director so it's integrity will be kept in tact.
100% correct
How so? If you want authenticity it should be made by street cats, preferably from Detroit. Why let a square put it together just because he's black.
@@ericwright5455 Because it's an issue of culture. Black people (whether square or not) understand the cultural aspects of the drug game in the black community. There are things that don't have to be spoken by black folk that's understood. Now for authenticity's sake yes, you'd be better off having someone with experience be an advisor.

What a fantastic doco. I can't help but respect Eddie. If only more people could adapt that kind of attitude we would definitely have safer streets.
What was the catalyst that changed. Was it crack, breakdown of the family, access to guns or violence on TV. Where did all go wrong
he's was a piece of shit, he sold drugs to his own people.
@@glengarbera7367 It was heroine that started the violence, but the creation of crack gave almost anybody the ability to sell drugs, back in the day, you may have a had 2 people or small groups with connections allowing everyone to pretty much be their own boss, too much competition because of that and everyone had a crew, bip bam bomb, violence happened 🤷🏽♂️

@@glengarbera7367 zThe Devil is the catalyst that goes wrong when you are serving him. He created heroin addicts and that's a living HELL.

Wow! I appreciate the history lesson, facts are hard to dismiss. RIP! Eddie Jackson Aka the crowd pleaser.
Went on youtube expecting the usual shit, then notice new Al Profit video!

@poker108 it's not the drug dealers I like, it's al's videos I enjoy
I don't look at these guys as role models
They destroyed there own neighbourhoods for profit! Not something to be idolised in my opinion!
Coutney Brown came to my job 4 years ago. I'm looking at this man like I know him from somewhere it didn't come to me until after he left that I saw him a documentary.
"Never disrespect the customer." Exactly how dope boys in the Richmond VA projects operated back in early mid 90s
Eddie reminds me of az fazon. He helped out a lot of people an the person he helped most try to kill him I just don't get it .I used to sell h an I never burnt my people cause that's how I supported my habit I'm not ignorant loyalty is very rare now days
