In my opinion, bro, I'm going to tell you all right now, Trap Geek is one of the most underrated YouTubers of all time.
00:00:04.840
Literally, all of his videos are f***ing amazing, bro.
00:00:07.540
And without Trap Geek, I would not be who I am today because I reacted to these videos and I didn't know what the f*** was happening.
00:00:12.960
I would just react and y'all love when I reacted to this s*** and Trap Geek is just top tier, bro.
00:00:24.660
But be aware that you have the right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself while you are there and anywhere else.
00:00:50.000
He is in videos talking about messing with them.
00:00:55.060
They have 10 hundred round choppers talking about weapons.
00:01:03.040
Social media is a wonderful tool for prosecutors in every indictment we bring nowadays.
00:01:08.880
Yeah, man, you know, they still streaming goddamn slime this slime network.
00:01:17.380
They were just shooting it, like, you know, sideways, behind the car, in the street.
00:01:24.700
It's one of the craziest stories, as slowly, over nine years, the state set up wiretaps.
00:01:30.380
And I'm not even going to pause it like that, chat, but, like, how many years were they really building this case, bro?
00:01:40.240
To monitor Young Thug's crew, documenting every hand gesture, and tattoos and photos, captions and emojis were all collected as evidence.
00:01:47.920
The Young Thug's label, YSL, was actually an organized gang enterprise who had been in a seven-year war in Zone 3 Atlanta with the rapper YFN Lucci and his crew.
00:02:02.240
And when rivals caught YSL members in a building, they forced them to strip naked and take photos.
00:02:26.620
And that all the events Young Thug would put on in the city were actually recruitment events for YSL, who had made so many enemies that DJs got choked out just for playing Young Thug's music.
00:02:37.800
But the biggest insult for police was the whole time Young Thug was leaving hints in the music, bragging about giving the lawyers millions.
00:02:45.120
I want to know, where do y'all rank Young Thug as best rappers of all time?
00:03:05.120
He was really talking about getting Lucci's house shot up and wounding his mother in the process.
00:03:09.980
And everything came crashing down two months ago on Cleveland Avenue, Young Thug's block, as Atlanta police moved in on a housing complex.
00:03:21.620
They wanted to arrest a YSL member for an armed robbery.
00:03:24.940
But the dude escaped, shooting an officer six times before they finally brought him to Fulton County.
00:03:30.600
In two days, he got on the phone with Young Thug and asked permission to murder Thug's rival, Lucci, who was sitting in the same prison.
00:03:37.720
And while Thug was trying to fly drones past the jail windows to deliver cell phones to his guys, he didn't realize the state was already one step ahead.
00:03:45.600
And he planted cell phones with other inmates to listen in on all their calls.
00:03:50.340
Now, we're getting into all this, but first, check out my song of the day.
00:03:59.400
It's the entertainment hub of the South, the Silicon Valley of trap music, and one of the only cities who kept their clubs open during COVID, because in Atlanta, music is the currency.
00:04:08.440
It's a place where the suburbs, the mansions, and the slums are all grouped together and divided up into zones that are determined by police precincts.
00:04:16.520
Chat, what's the most dangerous zone in Atlanta?
00:04:20.540
Like, what's the most, what's the most, uh, matter of fact, Ant's from Atlanta, I'm going to ask him.
00:04:33.740
