- Two men were found guilty in the 2002 murder of prolific DJ and member of Run DMC, Jam Master Jay, at his Queens recording studio. NBC New York's Erica Byfield reports.
😡EVERYONE in the studio that night knew but were too scared to tell. Shameful it took 20 years.
Exactly.
This is why the black community is their own worst enemy
Jam master J was coke dealer who pushed no snitching it goes both ways I’m sure he wouldn’t have wanted them to break the code and snitch either
@@NaturalMagi123when did you ever hear him say no snitching or hear him talk about selling drugs?🧐
@@TungMobTV13o2 he was a famous while trying to be Coke dealer that means he automatically believed in no snitching or else he wouldn’t have been able to be a brick man while being a celebrity
killing your own godfather is crazy
Shit, recently I had a cousin kill his father whose my cousin too😢
@@SlappyBoy-my7wr wickedness my condolences my g
It's sometimes the people that are the closest to you.
Killing anyone is crazy.
They was jealous
Biggie: "It's the ones that smoke blunts with ya, see your picture, now they wanna grab their guns and come and get ya."
Damn. The real ones go easy. Sad. I am so single with few associates and still like. WHAT YOU ON. THIS IS CRAZY.
classic lines that are teaching our young people how to become gangsters.
@@david9783😂 nah warning you not teaching
Tupac: keep your enemies close, watch your homies
@@david9783Our youngsters ain’t listening to Biggie. I can assure you that. But if anything those lines are warning you NOT to be in the streets.
The O’Jays song…..”They smile in your face , all the time they wanna take your place! BACK STABBERS!”
I’m glad it’s all come to fruition! And I hope others stop killing one another! Rappers , gangs ,thieves , etc! Stop the senseless killing y’all! You are putting your loved ones at risk too!!!!
😢 I Agree 👍🏾 💯
That's a sign of family betrayal
Exactly
Treason indeed
Can’t believe it wow
@FJBANDHISFOLLOWERS False. The killer was his childhood friend and the other was his god son. The childhood friend told JMJ cousins to not go to the studio because something bad was going to happen. If a killer warns your family not to go to YOUR studio while asking them for bullets. And they don’t warn you about someone’s plan to kill you? That’s a family betrayal. The family should have told JMJ that someone’s planning to kill him.
Not a sign of family betrayal...that IS family betrayal
His friend and godson. That is definitely a shame.
I wish they hadn't done this to Jam Master Jay.
Me too
TRUST NOBODY.
Wonder how true this story is
This was drug related. Not random. Jay was doing dirt when he didn't have to. You don't have friends or family when you're involved in serious $$$ drug distribution.
@alpay4741 absolutely. After he had already made millions in music. Maybe don't involve yourself in some low down street sh.. 🤷
Jesus, it took almost 22 years. RIP JMJ
That's why l don't believe it🤔22 years and when Hip Hop celebrated it's 50th anniversary, it's too much of coincidence 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😘
They knew who was involved before the arrests were made.
It's an insult on JMJ's name. He's not here to defend it.
That’s what I’m saying. I was in 5th grade, I’m 32 now.
I know right, look at TuPac Shakur
She said all of his immediate family is deceased, how? He has a wife and children. Wouldn't that be his immediate family?
Yes 🤦🏾♀️
It's NBC, you shouldn't expect such high levels of quality
That’s what I was thinking, where’s his kids & wife…
@@BoleDaPole It's news. They go by what they are told.
The news say anything f dem guys
His childhood friend and Godson? My goodness. That's insane.
Damn, his own Godson🫢.
With friends like that!🤔
IKR? SMH.
Who needs enemies
With drug deals like that everyone is you enemy. Come on people, stop acting surprised that this happened to JMJ. He was in a dirty & filthy game. He brought this upon himself.
@@biggalaxy9102I hope your family don't dovyou the same, we black people have a problem, it's called, LACK OF LOYALTY, GREED, JEALOUSLY, LACK OF LOVE, FOR EACH OTHER AND FAMILY.
WOW!!!!!! His godson and his friend. WTF...
Facts
He must have been shocked when he saw they were there to murder him.
Drug dealers
o;jays-backstabbers
behind cutting him out of a drug deal. When that's your value system and your lifestyle, stop clutching your pearls. this is why "drug deals" shouldn't be a part of a person's life. Learn from this. Stop being shocked at natural consequences.
Ronald Washington, Jay’s childhood friend, and Karl Jordan Jr., Jay’s godson Stole from the world a prolific musical talent a Hip Hop trailblazer His murder shocked and saddened his many fans and seemed to open the flood gates even more on gun and drug related violence associated with the genre Hopefully these convictions are sound and act as a future deterrent RIP Jam Master J
So, this was responsible for the way they act today?
As FJB says... Come on Man!
Stories like these are the reason I don’t trust people
@@lisakaye3919 Definitely nobody from the Hip Hop or Rap world... that's for DAMN sure
Wow. Well said. Thank you .
@@atatterson6992they weren't from the "rap world". They were his "friend" and g-dson.
Perfect example of IT BE THE ONES CLOSEST TO YOU!
Wow, his Godson was the one who took his life? 😱👎
Yep, traitor
Crazy titles don't mean shi
I was like what the whole.f***. That's cold right there
Maan I know some who got took out by their Own SON
@@knucklegame5050Whaaat 😳
The call is coming from inside your house.

My 15 year old niece says the same thing.
"Because he cut them out of a drug deal." Drugs and greed are the real murderers here. Will make the people who claim they love you turn on you. Thank God I have never gotten involved with that stuff in my life.
That's some straight up "Paid in Full" type shit.... WOW!!!
Right
I literally just said this 🎯
@@ima80sbaby61 Mitch..... look at me...... DC......DC
Just thinking that!!!!
Paid in full based on true story. I didn't know when I 1st watched it, but I was thinking this is bad. And when I found out that it went down in reality, couldn't watch it again
I'm sure that Jam Master Jay was a pretty good person but he just got caught up with the wrong people and made the wrong decisions & it caused him his life When u get involved in dealing drugs you're taking a chance on ur life and others lives especially family it ain't worth the risks at all!
😅
I feel they were looking at JMJ with eyes of jealousy and saying this rich mf’er is making all this money and still shortchanging us.
RIP, you can’t trust anyone in this game.
Naw. That. Chance is took the moment you start being alive. You don't got to do a damn thing to be a victim. People will kill you for fake shit they be believing that ain't even real. Ever since that day I lost respect for all of humanity. They all out to get you. Especially if they ain't out to get you. That just means they bout to get you. Sad if you ask me.
YOur enemy hardly ever get a chance to harm you. Most of the time it's your own family or someone close to you that is successful in harming you!!!
Why was Jam Master Jay out there dealing drugs in the first place? It's really disappointing to find out he was caught up in that nonsense.
These music companies are known for paying their artists peanuts.
Why the government raping African of its minerals ? And then y’all buy iPhone ?? Bro a man does wat he has to do .. years ago weed was illegal no it’s not . Bro don’t judge people !!! I’m sure u ain’t no angel

Met JMJ once in ‘95… real cool bro RIP
ITS TRULY AMAZING HOW THE PEOPLE THAT ARE CLOSE TO YOU CAN DO THE MOST HARM & DAMAGE FAMILY & OR FRIEND CAN HURT YOU THE MOST NO CAPPING
I'm surprised Queens didn't take street justice knowing they was suspects
I've thought this for years, many knew who did it 💯

Why weren't the other surviving members of Run DMC anywhere to be found during the trial? Why wouldn't they show up in support of JMJ?
Because it would've attracted a media circus.
Jay cut them out of plenty of deals, I’m sure, so their probably not interested
They didn't do it! They didn't do it! I cant breathe!
Jay was alliance for Run DMC, as DJ only and not signed as original group member, but still , he should be treated like family and not allegedly as friendemy membership.
RiP🎉
@@user-du9lu4xc6t That's kind of my point actually, I would have thought that at the very least, they considered him a friend! And whether he was considered just a Dj or not, he was still a huge part of their identity and success!
*Why is everyone forgetting that this was DRUG related?* Jay was involved on drug dealing and his "friends and family " were too. There's no honor among thieves. They ALL SHOULD HAVE MADE BETTER DECISIONS.
The Godson was something that was sacred. But now is over!

Seriously paraphrased and misquoted but I guess we get the point?!
Drug dealers always say they make more in a week than than anyone make in a year It's hard enough to watch your back these days but it's even harder to watch your back when you're a drug dealer It's a dangerous life to live Not only do you have to be concerned about other dealers u also have to be concerned about law enforcement
Yup...making all that money they can't enjoy 😂
You either get locked up for life or die really young. Jay was still in his 30’s when he died
Always remember just bc they are locked up doesn't mean they did the crime. Some of these ppl are in jail bc they needed someone to take the blame for the crime
Your own people …. Thats why i said keep your circle small
I don't even have a circle
Even then the small circle can’t fully be trusted 🫢
It’s always the closest to you 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
We miss you in Atlanta, Erica Byfield! Always great reporting from you👍💕
Justice ⚖️ for JAYSON 🙏
What a betrayal nothing worse than being killed by someone you know
It’s always someone close to you.. REST in Heaven so glad they found peace ❤
Rest In Heaven 🕊Jam Master Jay . May your family have Peace ❤
He died selling drugs not doing the will of God and rapping devil's music living worldly and you gone say rest in heaven SMH
God Almighty Will Decide That 🔥
@@aprildickson5958 another dumb devout person with an even dumber POV. Smh.
It's it's really been twenty two years,
Kids.... just say nope to dope, and ugh to drugs...
Just smoke weed and drink like a normal person and don't get into debts or dealing. It's really not complicated enough to need to go straight edge...
It's not that simple with drugs, and weed and alcohol are gateway drugs.
I know it's a cliche but it's true, people that smoke weed and/or hang around others that do are far more likely to be exposed to hard drugs. Nobody goes into it thinking they'll end up a junkie.
@@BoleDaPole Not everybody is so clueless that they can't be responsible. By your logic we should ban cigarettes, fast food, alcohol, video games, and anything else that could become a gateway to addictive or harmful behavior. Let people be responsible for themselves. If you are incapable of making good decisions and moderating yourself, then you're right you shouldn't be dabbling with anything other than schoolbooks and the Bible.
@@BoleDaPole it's not cliché. it's a proven *false concept concocted via government propaganda* decades ago. . "don't believe the hype" - Public Enemy.
@@BoleDaPoleI smoked weed and drank since I was 14/15 and I’m almost 43 and never tried anything outside of that so how is this a gateway drug? People do what they want
RIP JMJ, it's crazy to me how this was solved before 2 Pac and Biggie cases which by years predated this incident.
Really makes you think about how many people in the rap industry have been gunned down. Maybe it really isnt so good for our youth. Now with this drill rap it's even worse.
Because Jay was More legendary than Them
@@knucklegame5050 he definitely was a legend of legends
@@knucklegame5050 but I say that because we all knew the people involved and investigated in them two cases but as of a few years ago they just discovered the people linked to the JMJ situation. Even with all the info they have about PAC and Big, they still have cold cases.
@tkthakid Because theirs were committed by COPS. Come on now. Jay's is a Whole otha type situation from theirs.
Godson? Wow!
Me I don’t believe in God father or God son I dunno what that means and where it’s invented word came from.
24 years later ! Wow !
22 years later
The crazy part about it is that where he was killed at the police station is like 200-500 feet a block away on Jamaica ave. He got 166 Jamaica the police station is on 167
Sometimes, it's your own who will do it. RIP.
THEY GOT, (22 YEARS) OF FREEDOM, NOW IT'S TIME TO PAY, FOR YOU'RE CRIMES. (LIFE IN PRISON), NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. MAY THE VICTIM (RIP), NOW.🇺🇸.
No death penalty in New York.
This is why I trust ppl based on character not skin color
What in the heck does that mean in relation to this case?
Amen 🙏
@@TB7-Xjust wanted to sound "deep" that's all 😏🤦🏾♂️
Talk yo shit!!! It mean a lot of times we trust, distrust people based on color, when a lot of times loyalty come from different walks of life not always your own
When I met Jay back in the 90s at a show he was super kind, humble and spent about an hour signing posters and talking to fans like he was everybody's friend.
That man had a good soul and showed a lot of love to others in the hip hop scene. As far as being involved with drugs, he was most likely hooking up weed for the studio session. JMJ was and always will be an icon.
Can’t believe it took 22 years to get closure. Damn!
Lord have mercy jam master jay godson and friend I'm say this once one's u close to be one's hate and set stuff up behind ur back or hit u from back sad people love trust I preach this everyday and night trust noone nowdays rest in paradise jam I will never for get you I'm so happy your family got justice for you 😢❤sending my prayers love to your family jam master 🙏 ❤️ 💜

Who need enemies when you have friends and family like this
While I'm glad that this case is closed I am sad to see that JMJ tarnished his legacy. He died trying to poison his community and I cannot respect that.
@NOCDIB•Poisoning his community?? How??
@@kimbella1452 by trying a broker a drug deal with a connect from Baltimore. You know, the deal his godson shot him over.
Is there any evidence if this? I'm not saying your wrong I'm just curious
@@RegardsStock did you follow the trial? He was killed by his godson and childhood friend because they were supposed to be part of a drug deal and he cut them out of it.
@NOCDIB aw ok yea I'll have to watch the trial
Woooooow, this is soooo sad. It's truly devastating and out right heartbreaking! I pray that his family find solace in his justice and peace in their hearts.
The closest ones to you will turn on you worse than strangers! Rest peacefully JMJ!
So tragic. ! Many people have been killed by jealous and greedy family and supposed friends. !
With all due respect, I notice people calling JMJ a legend. And he likely was musically. But let’s not gloss over how his death was drug related, a deal gone bad. And that those drugs were intended to further harm the community who supported his entire career. I’m glad the killers were caught. But I’m also disappointed in our “leaders”.
there's zero proof it was drug deal gone bad ahole. And he did far more and had more of a positive impact on his community than some anonymous dbag like you. What have YOU done for your community? I bet not a GD thing! Even if it was a drug deal gone bad, one bad decision in a lifetime doesn't define you. I can't stand judgmental aholes like you.
Who made JMJ a leader of the "community?" 🤔😏
@@msolomon1781 great great question 💯
It was an open secret..it was well known in the rap and hiphop industry who killed this talented musician
Hate crime?
Why though??
Fact. Same with Tupac. Everybody in L.A. knew.

God always says it's not the strangers but it's your family you have to watch out for RIP Master J

Don't you have burgers to flip or something.

Where are their photos?
YES YES YES!! JUSTICE FOR JAY!!✊🏾✊🏾
How you would have the gall and the nerve to shoot a legend and pioneer of your own race is beyond comprehension.

So sad the ones that are closest to you but for what???? A drug deal that’s crazy too
21 Years? OMG. Finally Justice is Served... i guess 🙏🙏🕊
How can his whole family be deceased? He wasn't 90 years old and the last sibling standing. He had a family that just did not show up to court
He's finally getting justice. RIP Jam Master Jay.
Why are y’all

Strangers rarely kill people that's why I don't have any friends. Whoever you around and you calling them a friend that's the person that's gonna cross you. Friends don't kill strangers.

I think the Godfather is a great movie too, but keeping your enemies close is bad advice. Get as far away from your enemies as possible!
@@jonathanhawk5163 your missing the point. Keeping your enemies close doesn’t really mean “keeping them close” to you as friends. It’s a statement telling you to understand your enemies, or keep a keen eye on what they may do to you. You need to read books my friend.
@@realbrooklyn7995 The Godfather is a book, and that's where your original comment comes from, son.
@@realbrooklyn7995 I know the point. My point is better. Get as far away from your enemies as possible. You kids don't even know where that line comes from, and you're trying to tell me to "read a book". I READ THE BOOK THAT THE SAYING COMES FROM!!! You probably don't have a book in your house.
But don't nobody talks about him being involved in the drug deal!?!?!
May he now rest in peace! 😢
How is this not a bigger story on MTV or VH1?
Absolute tragedy to be slain by a godson.
