Wood Harris plays Azie and he talks just like him mannerism and all ! Great casting !!!

Nigga Alpo snitched on the whole DC lol

He's lowkey saying the government was a huge part of the shit that was going around then.. just read between the lines.

There aint no such thing as Loyalty when you run in the streets .. Theres only associates, Trust no One especially when you winning

He even says, "ya understand?" the same way Ace did on Paid In Full. Wood Harris nailed that role.

i'm not sure who is more laid back, dude that played AZ, the rapper AZ, or the Real AZ? All 3 AZs are cool as a mug!

You can tell hes a great writer. takes his time, chooses his words wisely.

Whats sad is that people won't catch the jewels he dropping.

Vlad: "So you're essentially one of the ones that got out without being dead or locked up forever?" Vlad, the man is sitting right there in front of you, alive and free. What type of fuckin question is that?!

This dude so humble and genuine he speaks from his heart!

Alpo was the guy that makes the game treacherous. He defines that part of the game. It’s a guy like him in every crew.

I fucking love this interview. I could listen to Azie tell a story all day. He’s not ignorant at all and a very intelligent human

What Cat's fail to realize is that A is dropping subliminal messages and you have to decipher them yourself and understand what he saying, He's doing that to protect himself without saying much.... Knowledge is power

As many times as I've heard this story it still fascinates me to this day smh shit was crazy

Who's still here 5 yrs. later?? This story is forever fascinating 💯💯

Paid in full is one of the best films ever

Everybody Black Gotta ' Uncle Who Look Like Azie.

I can watch azie interviews all day love learning about the drug game learning about the rise and fall

It took a while but Alpo got his top pushed back, what goes around comes around.

I'm from Manhattan grew up hearing bout this story, moved to PA paid in full came out and it amazes how this story still fascinates me , I will never do my aces like that

Vlad if your really a beast get an interview with alpo

Clean hearted guy.. he made it this far for a reason..

Paid in Full is one of my favorite movies of all time. Even when I got caught up in the streets, I feel like that movie showed me a way out. Much respect to the brother Azie 💯💯💯💯

I love Azie! His laid back and smarts is very moving.

I can LISTEN to his war stories ALL DAY!

People would kill they homies over 10k so imagine 300k. Smh can't let people know you getting a lot of money

"Truth alone can get you murdered" realest shit ever.

"The truth alone can get you killed" "Who Are these guys" Wake up read between the lines he saying so much but saying so less.

Scarface was clear, do whatever you want. just don't mess with my sister...

Don't know why, but I like Azie. Seems like a good guy with a bad past. But the past is the past, and he's leading a new life.

The feds arrested Alpo Martinez on November 6, 1991. They hit him with various drug charges, along with murder and conspiracy to commit murder, including the murders of D.C. hustler Michael “Fray” Salters and Brooklyn dealer Domenico Benson. Though having done the deeds and knowing the rules of the game, Alpo couldn’t handle what he was facing; life behind bars or a possible death sentence. The Washington Post reported that as Alpo (25) appeared in court after his November 1991 arrest sniffling loudly as tears welled up in his eyes. Alpo began to cooperate with the federal government almost immediately. Along with telling on everyone he could, Alpo confessed to committing 14 brutal murders. Alpo’s biggest betrayal was telling on Wayne “Silk” Perry, the man who protected him on the streets, with unyielding loyalty. Alpo told the government that Wayne killed Garrett ‘Gary’ Terrell (infamous drug lord in the D.C.) and Evelyn Carter (Hooker that could provide evidence Perry killed Michael Fray Salters.) On March 5, 1993, based on Alberto Martinez cooperation the feds brought a 27 count indictment against Perry. The indictment included the murders of 9 people in the furtherance of a Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE), racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine, retaliating against a witness, kidnapping, and robbery. Wayne would be the first person in D.C. to face the death penalty since 1971. Perry negotiated a plea deal without cooperating with the government. Wayne pled to five counts of murder in the furtherance of a Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE) for the killings of Domenico Benson, who was shot as he shook Alpo’s hand because he allegedly slapped Alpo’s wife in a previous altercation with her; Evelyn Carter, who was allegedly cooperating with police, she was shot in the head at close range leaving Constitution Hall; Yolanda Burley; Alveta Hopkins; and Garrett “Gary” Terrell. In return for his guilty plea, some of his relatives and friends were not indicted, and others received lesser sentences. Instead of the death penalty, Perry was sentenced to five consecutive life sentences without parole to serve his time in federal prison. Alpo was sentenced to 35 years in prison- under federal witness protection. Though Alpo was regarded by some as a good dude that faced a sentence few men would eat, the rules are the rules. You don’t rat. Throughout the streets and in hip-hop, Alpo is largely regarded as the most infamous snitch that the streets have seen, and a snake for murdering his best friend, Rich Porter. Though Alpo isn’t locked down anymore, he’s still not free. He will have to move modestly and keep a low-key profile for the rest of his life when he’s used to being bigger than life, doing what he wants in the world.

"ya undastand " .. wood Harris had that down pat on me

this is one of the best interviews ever.

Who here after Alpo Gets Killed?

I think Azie is 1 of the only dealers that never did time through luck

It all caught up with him today 🙌🏾🙌🏾

These interviews are real good. Respect him for telling the truth and not trying to portray an image

He need his own podcast! Make it happen Vlad! He's the voice that the streets need!

This Brotha dropping gems all thru this interview. You gotta listen...

bruh sayin' yes sir to vlad 🤣

maaannnnn!!!! u really have to decode Ace messages. whats understood doesn't have to be explained

Aplo interview would hit a mill in a day

THIS MOVIE COULDVE BEEN THE GREATEST BLACK CRIME MOVIE OF ALL TIME . WHAT THEY PRODUCED WAS CLASSIC BUT I GET WHERE AZ IS COMING FROM WITH IT

This whole story is so fascinating.

Very Intriguing story, these guys were my peers in age, I heard about them every once in awhile while growing up in the MD & DC, but could hardly encompass their movements. God Bless AZ for sharing his experiences to the world.

Would love to hear how AZ feels about how alpo went out

this is an amazing interview

Just imagine being the lone survivor nd can finally speak on ya story

When Alpo killed Rich he killed Harlem

great interview he got me thanking how po might be the feds, this story deep asf doe all that dirt po did and the police ended up wanting wayne perry instead of po

thanks for the interview

11:17 Ace wasnt wearing a wire in Paid in Full. Ace gave Rico the number to those guys that he knew was either Jack boys or undercovers and Rico called them by himself to go sell the keys. Ace never wore a wire.

I can listen to him talk about the game all day...Lowkey he needs a podcast or sum

we all know 300k in the 80's isn't 300k in 2016

this could be one of those life changing interviews/viewings for a lot of people

Lovely E. I appreciate it trying to look out for our youth. This generation gets the wrong idea when someone is showing them the truth about life

Drop the whole podcast, fam. Please!

back then the drug game was deep so deep that they can kill you for knowing the knowledge you hold

This man is really incapable of having hate in his heart it's crazy

Best interview!!!

Damn imagine if they called the movie "Trap" as it was intended. Shit coulda had a huge effect on things today

I was today years old when I found out Paid In Full was based on a true story.

Here the gems dropped all in this interview. Especially, about the government. Like Azie said, GAME OVER. 👏

Azie is on smart brother. Very sharp and solid👊🏾

I had to get my food ready and my juice before I tuned in to this interview.

Azie put Rich and Alpo on so his story has a lil more clarity than most

Amazing interview

This is crazy! I'm from the South Bronx... 1975 baby! I remember these days!

alpo gone live and eat good...snitches live good in this new fucked up wave

Sound like he saying Alpo could have probably been police? Hummmmmmmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

who here after alpo get caught lacking

It’s like Azie was the only person that played the game from an ideal perspective. No greed or selfishness or envy in him. He was just a good guy doing bad things to live a better life. The sad part is him operating that way in the end made him look incredibly naive. Just as much as the money is a part of it, so is jealousy, envy, greed, and betrayal. I bet more than anything, that’s why he wishes he stayed working at the cleaners.

1:18 vlad start shivering

I'm here cuz Alpo just got blasted,the irony of the whole story...

This is very fucking real... much props to Azie Faison, good dude with very wise words. my nigga

He talks like he has been looking over his shoulder and living in fear his whole life. There is no amount of money that can take this feeling away.

Harlem full of snitches

i swear dj vlad be sounding like the feds

Alpo got shot 5 times in Harlem November 2021. Nigga got out in 2015 and was in witness protection

Vlad wasn’t really listening to him, he saying whole lot more than what vlad was getting at

“THEYRE TRYING TO SOLIDIFY HOW THEYRE RIGHT AND WERE WRONG” listen y’all! Straight gems 💎🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

This is so deep and heavy he telling it like it is. Don't get in that game it's for life you always looking behind there shoulders not knowing if they ever safe. The game is not a game. Don't play because you will pay in some way. That man has ghost, pain and lost a great deal. People dropping jewels about the game pay attention. That money is nothing compared to the government who put the guns and drugs the street. But when they don't need that drug money no more you in jail, dead, of running. Anyone that dont understand how the government work ask how crates of guns get dropped in alleys in the hood. How when the country doing bad that all of a sudden drugs every where nobody going to jail. Ask somebody! Then they get free labor when you go to jail! Its real! Look at our government right now and the corruption on both sides that's being exposed!

If vlad gets an Alpo interview he's officially the GOAT

It was never stated in the movie Ace snitched. In the movie Ace simply said he gave Rico the feds (the two goofy looking dudes) number. At the court he had the strap, that's it. Rico was the only one that snitched in the movie. Im confuses how they even came to the conclusion Ace had a wire lol smh. It's like y'all didn't watch the same movie.

Everybody EATS B!!! 😂😂

Raekwon gonna look like Azie when he get older

he was blessed to make it out in one piece. especially at that time when crack first got here.

"Truth alone can get you murdered." Went over everyone's head. He was talking about Iran-Contra, Freeway Rick,Barry Seal, Waterhead Bo etc.

*say what you wanna say about Vlad.but Vlad's flashbacks are undefeated*

So Rich was diligently trying to scrape ransom money up for his brother. His BFF kills him AND THE CHILD DIED? Lord hammercy!

i would love to meet him and learn a lot💯

Look at the movie with Tom Cruise called American Made, he telling the truth

need that alpo interview

Best person Vlad has ever interviewed.

Who's here after Alpo got clapped? God don't like ugly 💯

Great interview. He is not paranoid.

You can tell there were times where he wanted to elaborate on something, but just left it vague. I feel that tho, some things just cant talk about that deep.

Vlad is one of those “people with a badge playing the game”. He’s definitely an informant

Imagine the parts of the story that can't be told

Alpo was a hustler , wasn’t no though dude. He adapted to his environment.Alpo made himself bigger than what he really is . When he was in DC , he didn’t have no real friends , just beneficial friends. They saw him as come up , Alpo played it smart by staying on their good side. Reason he killed Rich Porter because he needed save face . He could of let Rich slide but that would let them Dc dudes think he was soft.
