- In this VladTV exclusive, Eddie Mathis -- the man once referred to as the godfather of the DC drug trade -- detailed his life story. Growing up in a 12-person household during the 1950s and 1960s, Mathis started having run-ins with the law by the age of nine. He described stabbing a bully when he was 11 and getting involved in petty crimes throughout his teens. Mathis told tales of being in youth and adult correctional facilities before explaining how he got into dealing heroin. He also described an incident where he was sentenced to 20 years to life over a murder charge that he eventually got reversed. Mathis described how crack impacted DC and the drug trade, and spoke about serving about 20 years after catching a conspiracy charge. To hear more, check out the above interview.

Straight up og. Never talked about anything that can incriminate others or himself.
Straight up ignorant
Crazy to think how defending himself against a bully changed the course of his life so extremely
I knew where he grew up at, it was the culture, he may not have intended it to be that way but, once the (boys in the hood) heard about what happened to (the bully) they was trying to get with you or, get you with them...kinda like a recruitment of sorts.
@@evnstvn58 🙄🙄 not another hood expert.
@@missrenee2uSay what you want... It's gonna be one way or the other! They're either gonna be with you or, they're gonna be against you and, hope they never have to worry about you, ever doing that to them!
Usually it’s 1 situation that changes the course of our lives and we don’t even know it
@@evnstvn58 that’s the truth tho some of these internet ppl don’t know what’s up in da field
The most prolific "you know" battle I've seen since '94, ya know?
I appreciate the honesty and wisdom about the good and bad of the game. Thx OG
He denying all that beef stuff bcuz Murder has no statue of limitations..smart man
Such an amazing story! I can't wait to get the book.
Didn’t know who this guy was but he was a straight boss back in the days.
It’s 2 books based on his life #1 (like he said) Lorton Legends & Godfather of D.c. both written by Eyone Williams
I’m from D.C. Yes I made a lot of money. From hustling. But I have nothing to show for it. The money came fast and was spent just as fast. But once I turned my life to JESUS EVERYTHING changed for me. I was able to use my street knowledge legally. Eddie thank you for sharing your story.
Ha,ha, stop faking Mike brown, you might have run for someone else but your ass ain't never made nothing.
Amen brother!
Amen! What's up Mike? Long time no see.
I knew a lot of guys in the streets I was one of them. I didn’t make millions but I hustled in the 2000s late 90s it wasn’t like the 70-80s when they were making millions! But yes I still know a lot of guys and not one has any money from that life. Once I worked a legit job and started towing and I seen more money and obtained more in life! If u are blessed to make it out the streets there’s other legit hustles u can turn to and live a great life without worrying about jail.
For me, it didn't matter whether legal or illegal they NEVER wanted me to come up in Life
I remember when I came home and went to get some gas and the damn gas pump started talking. I couldn’t believe there was actually a tv at the gas pump 😂
damn slim
I still can’t
By far the best Glad interview I have seen. Much much respect to Mr Mathis a legend in the city! To be able to soak up his reflections on life is truly a blessing. I actually got arrested the same night him and the guys did and wound up riding in same paddy wagon to Central Cell block. Bumped n2 one of the guys later down Lorton for a few months and I use to love to pick his brain. Would've been an honor to meet Mr Mathis
VLAD 🙂
Crunchy Black said it’s GLAD🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know he from the city cuz he's Hugo boss'd up
On me. 👔 cost bout 135 lls
Facts lol
Hugo Boss...Nazi...He designed all the uniforms of Hitler's army! Did you know that? Google it!
Hugo boss is better than boss America LOL
@@evnstvn58 let's not forget about Coco Chanel she design for the Nazis to
much respect to Eddie speaks like a true G no snitching and took responsibility for all he did and not implicating others by name
The Blackwell/Mathis beef was something else.
Eddie and them probably tried to move onto Wahler. He was more muscle than black and them on his own strength, some of that extortion thing mixed in.
He looked at Vlad like wtf you getting this information 😆
Where’s the link to his book 📕?
History of D.C. that I never knew. Solid interview and subject.
Lorton legends. I gone look it upon Amazon
Shout out to everybody who thought this was Greg's brother
😭😭😭😭 I'm crying.
@@missrenee2u 😄
OG looking at Vlad like "you'd be getting extorted if this was back in the day".😂😂😂
Thru everything that was discussed in this interview, putting your money in the right slots was a very vital one.
did anybody count how many times OG said "YUH KNOW" LMAOOO
I said the same thing Lls
1,214.5 times
I heard his Name All the time....
MADNESS LIVES ON
He’s certainly sharp as hell Hugo boss down!!!!😂😂😂😂
He from the old school he still rocking Hugo boss lol that’s 80/90s 😂
This guy is quite easy to listen to. Glad to be watching this glad.
Old skool hustler. Survived Lorton gets a salute just for that.
When he said,I do have a conscious, I felt that.
Wow thanks for always taking Care cherly and Cuz Missy We loved you Awesome Gentleman is all I ever SEEN❤❤
Got this playing in the barbershop here in DC now
U DOIN 2 MUCH
70 years old and still keeping a tight lip on who his connects were 😂😂😂
Real DC OG.. highly respected 💯
Much respect to you Eddie
This was straight up and down 💯💯💯. Big Up to Eddie Mathis💪🏼
A little history on the heroine game. Let’s say you buy some heroine that can take a 10. That means for every gram of heroine you can put 10 grams of cut on it, maximizing your profit. He mentioned the 1st and the 15th them were the days welfare recipients got their checks. About 1wk before the 1st you have the heroine on a 5, instead of the 10. With it being on a 5 it is at its strongest making all the dope fiends asking for your brand of heroine. Once the 1st hits, you jump it up to a 10 to maximize your profit. Even tho it won’t be as strong as it was on a 5, mentally the fiends will be looking for your brand because how good it was in prior wks. Then you repeat the same process before the 15th.
🦍💩💩💀💀👹☠☠☠☠
@Vlad always getting the Story ass Backwards, Salute 👌 to @Eddie Mathis.💯💪
My man crushin em wit da boss on yeah slimmm
I Say ohhh I've been Hood Winked 😂 definitely a OG 😂

LOVE FROM SCOTLAND EDDIE 💙
Going to jail for 20years is like stepping outta time machine. But, those years you missed you cant get back!
The square that go to work and home to the family is the best life
True Legend from 83-88 $70000 a Day from 14st ,The Shack, The Gardens, Division Ave, 7thst the whole city with $10 bags and there are still more name who did just as good or better Washington DC always got money
Yep made a lot of money ruining generations of people and destroying neighborhoods
Wasnt the only one doing it, it might not be a good excuse but that shit was going happen with or without him.
yeah true I seen that first hand most of the house where brought for $25000 and now you cant get a shell for less than $600000 but be more Angry at your Goverment they ship tons
@@bryan5072 true the government are the biggest destroyers of families and neighborhoods and cities
And I betcha she got some of that money too! Shhhh🤫 dont tell nobody!
First we had daaamn!!!! then we had " if you will" and now we got "ya know"
Ya know
Naw mean nom saiyan
"If u will" had me laughin 😃😃
Criticize the people you know. Tell them to their face.
@@elegua9160 what??? Are u even telling about
Those long bids will make your eyes water. I seen one of my Hommeis cry mistily thinking about his murder bid. And what a year to get back. ‘88 was a money worldwind in the entire country. I had just come home and got more money than I had ever had.
It’s crazy u say that cuz every person I know that was in the game in the 80s always say the money was great in 88 😭😭😭😭. Shit must’ve been crazyyyy
@@jawn9424 real talk it was. You could step out of the house all by yourself with a few hundred dollars. Buy some working 50s and be swimming in tens of thousands in weeks if not days.
I read nicky barnes and the heroin era they made more money
This is a master class of 'Shhhh'.
Whomever “they” were, he definitely had problems with those folks. I’m just saying. They may have squashed everything amongst one another but murder has no statute of limitations so, if what I think is true, the Blackwells are them/they, and neither one of they’re crews were playing around.
“Master seed planters”
That’s a good expression
VladTV. Would you consider interviewing Jim Beloushi?
Smooth, true og right there. I never knew the particulars lol
I believe DC is the home of the Original Gangstas he's living proof
Different kind of Brothers outta DC. 💯
Shit, I mean, the Whitehouse is in DC..
Definitely
Big Respect O.G
I got caught with 2 ounces in Flint Michigan at 14 and the media called me a Detroit drug zar 🙃
Lol
Real OG right here….Stand Up Gangsta! Intelligent man,
that realized and used his smarts in the Game! Praying blessings and peace for him! 💯💯💯
lol "OG" he is a walking advertisement of what not to do. Did you even listen to the interview. Robbing and selling death to people. A grown ass man that Wasted most his life in a cage being told what to do, if that's "OG" you can keep it. Get a job and stay on the straight and narrow folks smh.
VLAD please interview Mr.Cornell Jones .....He is a Washington DC Street Legend😁
We All Have A Choice In What Direction You Choose To Live.
prison rape is a very scary thing..
Happens every day....sometimes voluntary and sometimes Involuntary 😁 Much Success and Support to you.....
every time eddie says "ya know" you gotta drink lol
Dc different with tbt police. It’s federal all in dc. My sis rest her soul was a big dog n the 90s. Got killed in 98 age 28 doing private jets with Martin Lawrence!!! Krazy just seeing old timer dc drug dealers talk because it hits home respect OG
Every time Vlad interviews a former criminal you know he’s gonna say “Football Numbers” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That boss outfit fresh asf 🔥
I like this guy he's straight as an arrow tells it word for word and I sense no lies in his speech 💯
How old are you, teens or 20's? Life is deeper than what you've experienced
I’m 3 minutes in and there is going to be a lot of “Ya Knows” I’m prepared

Google…✌🏾
@@vareechapman1520 Hey Ms. V seriously contact me…I’m trying to figure something out…thanks..
Bro I’m 29 and I look older than this man! Lol. Damn dude looking good for his age
Stop doing drugs😂
PRISON PRESERVES YOU FROM ALL THE THINGS THAT WOULD AGE YOU ON THE STREETS LIKE DRUGS,LIQUOR x A LACK OF SLEEP...THAT IS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT BEING IN.
@@binwahli5643 why does everyone else in prison look like shit then lol. Drugs are also more available. And the diet there is terrible. There doesn’t need to be a reason for everything. Maybe the man has great genes
@@binwahli5643 He's 69yrs old here
I lived on Park Rd in the mid 80’s. Down the street from the Black Hole. Pre 640…
NE DC Reppin...HBoss down true OG
RIP To OG Fray 💪🏾🙏🏾
Never met the guy, but heard about him later in life. You remember when dude shot up Benning park swimming pool with the tec back in 92'? We left after that. Them was the bad old days. Lol
Yo Mr. Eddie Mathis good interview and RIP to the people that did`nt make it out and thank the "LORD" "JESUS and the people praying for you that you made it out peace.
Yes come up in DC from a huge large family back in them days was tough especially for a black male. This VLADTV interviewer guys seems to me that he wants again as all of them do (our European selfish bros) to belittle a black male of his past misfortune. Then when we to bring up his past of 310 years of free labor, or even how during recent past years the 50, 60, and 70s the America refusal to treat the black male with dignity and respect which in turn didn't allow them the same opportunity to work or start business like the others were given, as well as being the last hired and the first 🔥 fire. Then they come with excuses after excuses to not teach that part of America history and it's reparations unto a people, OR Simply who are the REAL GANGSTERS folks behind the destruction of the black communities with Racism, Second Class Citizenship, The Poor, The Rich, Addicted Drugs Creation, low wages, The American falsehood of the cost of living with inflation only to make the Rich Richer and the middle class and under Poorest, ...... and it goes on and on. PLEASE can we all just love the TRUTH and your NEIGHBOR with a forgiveness ❤️ and stop letting money and a selfish heart RULE???! Be Bless Be Beautiful All humans and JESUS Loves You!
This is the epitome of a Real Gansta!
Study his own case in Jail...
Never incriminating to himself or others.
Takes full responsibility for his actions
You will probably never see this type of interview again (you know)
u went to deal?
Deal what?
Man im thinking this was Greg Mathis 🤣
SE DC right here slim! Born and raised all day! Growing up around MLK and going to Congress Heights, Hart and Ballou, Eddie Mathis name rung throughout SE and the city! His sons was cold killers!
Playing a drinking game, it's called "you know". Damn, getting alcohol poisoning "you know"...
Take a shot every time he say, you know. 🤣
Cosmograph Daytona Rolex cost 35k , OG still getting money
Hugo boss down
No! He has nothing. He basically admitted so.
@@nattydreadlocks1973 of course he’s going to say that to Vlad but he don’t strike me as the type to wear fakes
@@chrispbacon1167 You sound just like Eddie, twenty years ago. Trust me. He would have more money today if he worked at the Post Office for twenty years instead of having a life of crime.
As a kid if an older kid ask to ride your bike you ain't getting it back. I got my bike stole once after leaving it outside when I was like 7, after that I started stealing other ppl bikes. They knew not to leave them Mongoose out there lol
Real talk. Those 20 to 24 month runs be fucking up your program.
I recall that moxie incident
He don’t even look like he in his 60s
Slim and them was gettin’ it. Pause, but on the straight muscle. And even then they had beef.
13:13 That Laugh speaks For itself....I forgot to tell ya Vlad, When I was in Prison I participated In The Bandit Click As Well Ya Know!😊
I was thinking about a steak and cheese from Miles Long today.
And a whole cheeseburger sub!!
Vlad can try all he wants but this here OG is not going to incriminate himself or cough up any names
"... you know?"
Everyone: "No. No, we don't know. That's why we are listening to you tell us. So we know. Ya know?"
“You know?” No I don’t that’s why im watching this, to “know”
Thug Life in DC documentary if you want the real DC mentality
Someone tell Vlad that $80k x 30 days is $2.4M a month. Not $240k
17:00 I heard him say million and a half not 240k
Can someone tell me who won the "you know" battle??!!!! 😆 🤣 😂
What up Eddie, looking good brother.
Vlad: can you please incriminate yourself or anyone else on camera for my channel
Whoever he’s interviewing: I’d rather not
Vlad: fair enough
🤣
Always makes me wonder why a man would be comfortable spending all that time in prison.
Look just alike
He tried to make the ninja feel guilty about stabbing a white inmate
How? By mentioning it? Lol 100% he would have still asked if he had stabbed another black man. Youre reaching bro and its shit like this keeping us all separated. Change your thought process.
@@stevenrandall689 he is right don't get mad at him you should be mad at VLAD he is the one who said white inmate he could have said you stab an inmate vlad made a point to say white inmate he is the one trying to make it out of a racist thing he wanted dude to bite but he didn't if you can't see that you must be a lame
@@GoHARD99 You're definitely part of the problem. Victim mentality without taking context into account. Stating factual elements of a story doesn't make it racist. Only your predispositions make it racist and by proxy that in turn shows your racism
@@stevenrandall689 no you just don't get it You're nowhere as smart as you think you are some things people just can't get and in your case this is it.
@@stevenrandall689 talking about separated we been separated only thing people want is our culture and thats it if anything people are trying to divide black people as a whole.
OG Eddie Mathis much love slim 🫡
I commend anyone doing anything they have to do to survive and accepting the consequences of their choices like a G. Uptown run the town!!!
“Ya Know” 🔥OG
