If your not From Miami 305,then you don’t understand our swag he was doing his thing in the late 70s and 80s and early 90s this man is a trend setter,anyone like myself who grow up in Miami knows he’s the real deal
I heard the stories. They don't understand.
Most definitely, I grew up on 94th and 17th ave around the corner from Miami Central High and across from the Jitney stand. Miami is what it is because of people like Convertible Burt, Ike, Bo Diddley, Virg, and China Man, and that's just to name a few.
I'm Dominican but born and bred in the 305.

Ricky Ross Voice: "I touch work like I'm Convertible Burt"... Finally put the Face to the Name.. He's strong to make it out of them prison holes..
yess i saw the title and i haven't seen that name since i heard that lyric when that came out
I was sitting here trying to think if I ever heard Rick Ross mention him lol then I seen this comment
These phones something serious!!! I been slamming that song (2) weeks... now this on my recommendation??? Smh..."I touch work, like I'm convertible Bert!!!!"
Ross is not from Miami
First thing that came to my head 2💯
I will never forget seeing convertible Burt on 15th Ave in a Lamborghini. True Miami legend
Bet you on some homemade VCR tapes giving it up. Nappy dugout huh🤔

Held that post office job for 27 years right? 😭😭😂
@@rachaeleena Burt was in Vagas he brought Tyson to 15ave . The week before the fight against Buster Douglas
Happy you're home. Wishing you much success Bro. Burt! A stand up brother we can learn alot from. Peace and love from Chicago!
Everybody from Miami remember him riding in the vert with Tyson before he fought Buster Douglas. True G and soldier.
I met him in Miami, a few years ago, was very down to earth and shared his desire to be better and help others.
This is what you call an og in its purest form god bless him more positive success!!!!
hafizul faizal see you looking the wrong way but remember this he did help family every day kids,fathers and mothers every day you feel me
hafizul faizal have you live in Miami in the 80s where drugs was our Society and doctor,teacher, judges, police Politician was corrupted your hero was the local drug dealer who help everybody in the community you people kill me with the opinion when you never live in the situation we know it’s wrong but so is a lot of other things in this country is yes i grew up from that life but I paid the cost and so did Bert he’s just speaking on what he have life threw I wouldn’t tell ANY young person to live that life because of more opportunities and Tougher laws

I peeped that too 😂. He ain’t give Blad shit 💪🏾
Vlad = how many kilos you we’re getting at the height of your career????? Burt well a few here and there lol 😝
Tehran Jackson 🤣🤣🤣🔌🎰✌🏽
I don't blame him I wouldn't answer that cop sounding question either especially the way Vlad holding on to it, I would've said go serve some work and tell me how much you move. If a blk man asked those same questions Vlad ask the answer would be different,. 🤔🤔,. 😆
You leave a lot unanswered sometimes when you interview street legends. Ask what a average or memorable day was like in his life then. We want the picture to be painted. And you cut him off when he started talking about running into Larry Hoover in prison that was a potential good story we missed.

Vlad wants to know too much too fast. When he does that we miss major legendary stories.
Thank you!

Maaaan i grew up in Miami, 75' baby!!! Growing up in Miami was rough and fun as hell but this guy was a fucking Miami Legend....we loved this dude. He man u wanted to have something
Not trying to be funny but Convertible Burt looks like he makes a mean slab of ribs on the grill
I'm from Ft Lauderdale and use to hear the OGs talk about him.
I guess now we can call him "Brilliant Burt".. Smart Dude! He seems to be the type of person that can do well at whatever he puts his mind to.

He said "you know" 4,700 times. 😆😫 He looks great. I'm surprised. Keep shinin unc!
LoL LMAO 😂 😂😂😆😅
4701 you know 😂😂😂😂
It was 4703 times! Real hustlers know this story too well.
It's a florida thing I think you know what I'm saying lol
Hahaha.
This interview goes to show you that media shit and real life don't mix. Dude's a legend in Miami and references Cocaine cowboys to answers most of those Miami questions. Same thing with me, 41yr old Miami Cuban, deep into the perico politics and sometimes an 18yr old suburban kid "knows more" about these things than someone that actually lived that life because of all these documentaries
A lot of people call Vlad a culture culture and this goes to show how sometimes that can be true. All be it the subjects don’t have to answer the questions at all but sometimes you have to look at the questions vlad ask and wonder why he doesn’t ask anything else 💭 he ask 40 drug related questions before he even ask the man the origin of his name

Convertible Burt still looks the same just without the beard from the last time I saw him back in 2001 @ USP Coleman Florida. A-Unit stand up!

I grew up in miami during the time that you had Men like ,Convertible Burt, Ike, Bo Diddley, China Man. and a host of others that ran everything from 79th st to Rocket Blvd (next to Central High). All the boys at the Jitney stand across from 94th street and 17th ave. It was and always will be a glorious time in miami. My man Mike from the meat market, Virg, Fred.

Man the 80's was a time down here...The McDuffie Riots,drugs, crooked cops etc...I remember these times all to well. Burt has that Dade County lingo down to a science. #305 #18th Ave #LibertyCity #Born and Raised
Does he lol🤓🤔
In da 80s in Miami drugs was society getting money was all you seen the McDuffie riots was a time where we made a statement that we stuck together the lingo was at it all time high from the streets of Miami we didn’t look at other states we was proud to be Dade county 305 like 2 live and our crew

The real OG he never say other names but the ones Vlad mention...
Vlad: How'd you get the name Convertible Burt?
Burt: From Convertibles! You know what Im sayin
Burt is a really serious dude. I’ve dealt with people in his camp
If you from Miami you know who this is 305 for life
No place like Miami on the world period!

ahiai barnes not at all my guy. You can take turmeric ginger shots too pimp 🤷🏽♂️🤣😲
Why ya gotta be so negative lol damb
You know wa am saying
I've heard Ross rap about this guy like many others. BUT, Its crazy how this guy in others spent well over 20 years in Prison then come out hustling LEGALLY like they never left. Meanwhile, you have people that never been to jail that have to ask this guy to borrow money. His mentality to shows that some people are born to be the BOSS. This man made NO EXCUSES in his interview. I know people who grew up in the perfect scenario in the ideal neighborhood. And have 10 excuses for everything you ask them to do. GOOD stuff!
Right I agree
He a hustler
Great interview 👍 👏
How to not tell on yourself or anyone else 101, folks claiming he's not articulate just don't get what he's doing and vlad is frustrated because he won't indulge the details as most other guests do.
He's knows alot and i imagine was stressful to interrogate...
Convert Burt may have left the crack game but I bet he still on the money route
U know he gettin to it OG's aint wearing no flex jewels and my guy wrist and fist on blind you. 💎💎💎

I'm from the "Skreets" lol
Me and this dude became instant friends when I first started middle school. He was a couple of grades ahead of me, but me being a young quiet shy kid, you would never assume we were cool. He wasn't a troublemaker, but not too many people started trouble with him. I remember we had wrestling one season and this dude was a natural. He was already great before he was even being coached. He loved wrestling and he loved soccer. He was great at both and so was I. On our lunch breaks we always made time for play fights. Either karate, boxing, but I would never wrestle him. He moved on to the 9th grade high school and I was a couple years behind in the7 th grade. I heard about him killing that dude at the youth fair. I never heard about him again. I did hear about a dude named convertible burt, but I didn't associated with him. In my freshman year in high school his school had a wrestling match with my school and he was wrestling. That's when I learned he was convertible burt.. His mistake was he was not low key at all. Everyone knew he was a young hustler. He had to take that charge or risk his and his family life. When I saw him at the high school wrestling match, I did not make myself notice to him, because I heard he was into men as well as women. Didn't want no part of that. He became bigger and some years later the feds got him. He was a Miami legend for not for long.
Into men? Wat

“At that time” - convertible Burt
There's nothing to give up bro... it's called statute of limitations lol ...unless you killed someone, there's NOTHING that can be tied to you after a certain time.... Like you can truly say you robbed a bank in 1997 and it doesn't matter because the statute of limitations lol...

For those of you making negative comments about the man saying ?"you know what I'm saying" Let's me know you can't relate to the lengo that's because we talk like that in Miami. Not that we're illiterate we come from the hood. Burt we raised in the streets, no education. School of hard- knox that's all he knew. So don't hate on the player hate the game, just a product of his environment.

@@moneyhog8347 he was in jail for over 20 years. He could have definitely improved himself in that time. By reading, doing research and talking to people more intelligent than he is. I went to an all black college and I was shocked to hear the way kids from Florida and New Jersey spoke. I thought to myself, what did I work so hard for. By the end of their education, the could hear the imperfections and corrected themselves where needed. So after 20 years it makes no sense to not better yourself.
Legendary right here !!!!!
Dude talks & sound just like Master P lol. I guess its a Southern thing
LMFAO he don't sound like p
