If you're going to put a tool in troll, then tell me what it is.
00:03:22.480
But, yeah, I already know some of y'all trolling.
00:03:26.340
We're live on Rumble, YouTube, and X right now, guys.
00:03:32.340
Today, we're going to be talking about Young Dolph.
00:03:34.780
Before I go ahead and get into it, do you want to say what's up to the people real quick, Angie?
00:03:44.580
You guys have been requesting this for like a whole year.
00:03:52.660
I've been studying this guy like all day today, like all day.
00:03:57.280
And it's quite interesting the, yeah, the behind, the story.
00:04:11.480
Memphis has an extremely high crime rate, as you guys know.
00:04:16.640
Memphis has really taken off and been on the map from a rap perspective.
00:04:47.100
He was a guy that he was walking down the street with that girl, and then he shot the guy.
00:04:55.600
And then he got charged again, federally, under Rico, and then I think they charged him
00:05:02.420
It sucks, because he was literally one of the hottest rappers in New York when they got
00:05:14.800
When he went to jail, he had Back and Blood out there.
00:05:20.100
He was with Gucci Mane and 1017, and then he just went to jail.
00:05:24.300
And I think he dropped the mixtape while he was in there, but other than that, he went
00:05:32.820
For some of you guys that don't know, with Pusha Isi, what happened with him?
00:05:38.260
He hit this guy up saying, yo, I want some sneakers and weed.
00:05:41.220
Dude shows up with his sneakers and weed, and Pusha Isi robs him.
00:05:44.940
And the guy had like an online business where he would sell sneakers.
00:05:48.760
So, since it was an online business and he committed robbery to an online business that
00:05:52.480
affects interstate commerce, that's how they're able to get them federally.
00:05:55.840
And also because he committed a drug trafficking crime because it was a weed deal, too, and
00:06:06.160
If you have a possession of a farm while committing a drug trafficking offense, it can automatically
00:06:11.620
So, he robbed the guy that was trying to sell him some Jordans and weed.
00:06:17.820
No, he wasn't like on probation or anything at the time.
00:06:25.400
Across the street from the police station, too.
00:06:28.920
He did it across the street from the police station.
00:06:33.060
And they also, they were using his rental cars.
00:06:40.400
I think it was either like a Rolls Royce and like a McLaren.
00:07:02.260
Probably one of the dumbest criminals I've ever seen.
00:07:13.640
You know, people used to do the, Pushlice used to do this thing where he would like put
00:07:18.680
He had a picture because he would always be flexing cash.
00:07:21.020
He had a picture he posted on Instagram earlier that day.
00:07:30.840
FBI and Secret Service looks at the dollar bills that are on the floor that he left at
00:07:38.240
They're able to match the serial numbers up with Instagram posts.
00:07:41.320
They matched, literally they matched the bag that had the $40,000 cash.
00:07:47.280
They took that money, seized it, and they were able to match it up to the serial numbers
00:07:53.880
Yeah, they zoomed into that Instagram picture and they matched it with the serial numbers.
00:08:03.780
Because him and his buddy shot one of the guy's friends in the ass.
00:08:15.820
Push Icy's boys, one of them had a Draco and they shot the guys and one of the dudes
00:08:20.460
And they testified, said, yeah, Push Icy shot us.
00:08:24.100
They matched up the dollar bills, the serial numbers.
00:08:26.120
That's why people were like, bro, fight it, fight it.
00:08:37.860
Because I showed the surveillance footage and all this shit.
00:08:40.740
But yeah, go check it out, guys, if you guys want to go ahead.
00:08:43.060
Can we show the YouTube playlist again for the people we haven't done in a while?
00:08:49.020
So they can see where they can find these cases.
00:08:52.060
Because you guys actually do message Angie a lot about cases that we've already done.
00:09:04.100
Because we've been covering a lot on this channel.
00:09:11.160
Let me control plus it a little bit, make it bigger for you on ninjas.
00:09:20.100
But all the videos, you know, newest to oldest are here, right?
00:09:23.920
So we did the Alcatraz Escape, Chris Dorner, etc.
00:09:27.740
Some of them we had to go and finish it off on Rumble, guys.
00:09:38.780
Serial killers, high-profile cases, national security cases, organized crime.
00:09:53.200
And then just if you click live, you're going to see all of them here.
00:10:08.720
Like I said before, we're working on giving you guys two episodes of Fed Reacts a week.
00:10:13.180
I'm just waiting on some things behind the scenes for us to do it for y'all.
00:10:21.920
And do you have anything for the people before we get into this?
00:10:24.380
I just wanted to tell you, Bill just texted me.
00:10:26.160
He says that the stream deck is doubling audio.
00:10:43.580
Yeah, and guys, I apologize because I got two different independent audios for this.
00:10:51.220
Because what I do is I got a whole setup when we game streaming.
00:10:54.940
And then I got a whole setup when we do the podcast.
00:11:03.180
But yeah, I think other than that, we'll just go ahead and hit the goal.
00:11:20.060
Also, congratulations on getting Candace Owens on the pod.
00:11:40.140
Hey, Marianne, I was wondering, in your debate with Ethan,
00:11:42.600
are you going to bring up the incident that he was trying to accuse you of SA
00:11:45.140
when he bring up that girl he brought on show last year?
00:11:52.880
You should have a debate with Rabbi Shmuley and Nick.
00:12:01.920
That's not a bad idea, actually, but we'll figure it out.
00:12:04.520
Flores, yo, have you seen a Netflix documentary,
00:12:18.260
but I was expecting Ivan Drago, I must break you, okay?
00:12:21.620
Uncle Luke says, time for my Fed reacts up in this bitch.
00:12:24.220
Also, I had to let Rollo know your stream with Candace did very well
00:12:33.360
No, I think we had, did we have, no, we had 50.
00:12:43.680
Okay, yeah, we're live on Twitter for a bit, too.
00:12:48.500
You guys were, people have been waiting for that collab for a very long time.
00:12:51.480
Even on her stuff, people were saying, you need to go on Pressure Fit.
00:13:00.840
Can you do the Oklahoma City bombing or Tulsa bombing?
00:13:03.060
You know what, actually, can you write that down?
00:13:10.240
Yeah, they've been asking for that for a while, too.
00:13:15.860
I got two chats here from He Don't Love You Goes.
00:13:21.920
Myron, what is your long-term goal with your portfolio?
00:13:27.500
I was thinking I'm buying my second property with it.
00:13:40.980
Is it best to try CBP again while staying a truck driver, making six figures, and continue
00:13:45.680
Apply for another agency, even if Fed agencies use recently failed federal polygraphs against
00:14:00.220
The CBP polygraph test, it has a very high failure rate.
00:14:04.620
Something like 60% to 70% of the people that do it fail.
00:14:13.260
When you apply for other agencies, it shouldn't be held against you.
00:14:19.240
But it shouldn't matter for your other law enforcement agency applications.
00:14:24.840
You should be able to apply for other agencies and take other polygraphs without a problem.
00:14:30.780
If they do ask, though, obviously be honest and say, yeah, you did a polygraph.
00:14:35.480
Did they tell you you failed or did they say that you were inconclusive?
00:14:52.560
I have it on the list, but I'm going to write it down again so we can update it.
00:15:05.200
Why do so many African-Americans claim they started in Venice everything?
00:15:15.320
OG King Life said, your barber messed up your right side.
00:15:31.880
Austin Rojas goes, Mara, would you consider bringing on a Mexican OT?
00:15:34.880
He's a Houston rapper, and I think it would be hilarious having him on a panel with girls.
00:15:43.860
You know, whenever we cover another rapper case, we should actually have-
00:15:49.560
Well, but I mean, for Fair React, we could bring, like, academics for somebody that can, like-
00:16:02.920
Uh, I'm making sure I call all my chats before I get into the documentary, guys.
00:16:07.440
We're going to be reacting to, um, our boy Trap Law Ross has a documentary on this.
00:16:14.440
As you guys know, I'm good friends with Trap Law.
00:16:15.880
Shout out to the mandem out there in the UK going crazy, making great documentaries.
00:16:27.080
They wrote a Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja, or is it Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha?
00:16:43.220
Hair transplant, but you have to cover your grays, though.
00:16:47.440
All right, so Eltoni says, claim that 30% of the population with 50% of crime statistics
00:16:56.620
Anyway, so guys, we're going to go ahead and get into, um, this doc right here, okay?
00:17:04.380
Um, this is from Trap Law Ross, lighting for Rudolph, the murder of Big Jook.
00:17:12.240
So, for us to really understand this whole situation with Dolph and, um, and Yo Gotti
00:17:18.320
and the beefs going on over there, we got to go backwards from the recent murder of Young
00:17:22.440
Jook and then work our way back to the network explains the murder with, um, with Young Dolph
00:17:28.340
because there's been some long-standing beefs here, um, and it's going to be crazy.
00:17:32.700
Uh, we got here, Carter says, Marin, are you going in raw pause for the H3 debate?
00:17:36.660
Are you going to, you need a reverse card when you pull some BS?
00:17:42.580
I actually asked H3 to do the, um, to do the debate in person and they didn't want to do it.
00:17:50.780
So, I was like, let's do it in person and they didn't want to do it.
00:17:59.400
But if they do, they're just going to make themselves look bad, in my opinion.
00:18:05.080
DeJuan goes, this is not related, but I want to say thank you, Marin.
00:18:07.340
I used to trick and pay us scores and have spent over $20,000 on three or fours.
00:18:12.420
I lost my girlfriend at the beginning of this year and have considered, um, ending it.
00:18:16.380
Well, bro, I'm glad that you're here with us and I'm glad that you stopped spending all that money on three or fours, bro.
00:18:31.320
And as usual, guys, fnfsuperchat.com or you guys can do Rumble Rants, whatever is easier.
00:18:35.560
Um, if you do the FNF Super Chat, I can show your chat on screen.
00:18:39.520
It's a little bit harder for me to show the Rumble Rants on screen.
00:18:43.000
Uh, especially since Yabi's saying some crazy shit on Rumble and I gotta, like, edit it a bit when I read your chats.
00:18:54.380
Go, uh, so guys, we're gonna use this documentary here from our boy, um, Trap Low Ross.
00:19:13.900
I think probably, probably the best on YouTube.
00:19:19.160
Whether it's, uh, Trap Geek or, um, Hip-Hop Daily or whatever, this dude is the best.
00:19:27.160
Um, next time he's in the U.S. or in Miami, we're gonna have him on again.
00:19:30.580
So, um, alright guys, let's get into the documentary.
00:19:34.900
Young Dolph was one of Hip-Hop's most beloved stars when he was brutally gunned down in 2021.
00:19:45.160
...is that while Hip-Hop fans all over the world were mourning the loss of their favorite street rapper,
00:19:49.960
back in his native Memphis, the street figures that depended on him when he was alive
00:19:54.740
were loading up their guns and preparing to wage war in his name.
00:20:57.060
I just muted this thing on OBS, or do you want me to do it on the road, Caster?
00:21:02.300
Okay, so play the audio on the video real quick.
00:21:06.260
Chat, give me ones in the chat if this works fine.
00:21:11.500
...by police shows a person in gray pants and a dark hoodie, with gun in hand, apparently
00:21:18.000
In the months and years that followed, a deadly revenge campaign would play out.
00:21:37.000
Like I said before, it's the first time that we've been running this audio setup, as well
00:21:40.480
as, like, the gaming setup, because we have to switch the gaming setup up a bit.
00:21:50.780
Beloved stars when he was brutally gunned down in 2021.
00:21:54.380
Dolph was one of hip-hop's most beloved stars when he was brutally gunned down in 2021.
00:21:59.200
But what a lot of people didn't know is that while hip-hop fans all over the world were
00:22:03.700
mourning the loss of their favorite street rapper, back in his native Memphis, the street
00:22:07.120
figures that depended on him when he was alive were loading up their guns and preparing
00:22:11.700
Who shot and killed young Dolph in his own hometown?
00:22:14.920
This grainy photo released by police shows a person in gray pants and a dark hoodie, with
00:22:21.360
In the months and years that followed, a deadly revenge campaign would play out on the
00:22:24.460
streets of Memphis, and those who loved young Dolph ruthlessly attempted to slide
00:22:28.020
in his name, killing anyone who even remotely had something to do with his death.
00:22:31.480
And keep in mind, guys, that Memphis is not that big of a city.
00:22:36.780
Because I would not consider Memphis a major U.S. city whatsoever.
00:22:59.100
But it's the second most populous city after Nashville and Tennessee.
00:23:06.180
And in the wake of Dolph's murder, all eyes were on his biggest rival in the rap game,
00:23:09.840
Yogotti, who had been embroiled in a years-long feud with Dolph with numerous unsuccessful
00:23:19.780
So, Al Adolph, Robert Thornton Jr., born July 27, 1985, died November 17, 2021, better known
00:23:27.600
by a stage name, Young Dolph, was an American rapper from Memphis, Tennessee.
00:23:30.380
He first garnered mainstream attention for his guest appearance on OT Genesis' 2015 single
00:23:34.420
Cut It, which peaked at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100.
00:23:38.320
The following year, he released his debut studio album, King of Memphis, 2016, which peaked
00:23:43.700
His fifth album, Rich Slave, peaked at No. 4 on the chart.
00:23:47.040
Young Dolph founded an independent label, Paper Route, Empire, P-R-E, which you guys are
00:23:51.040
going to hear quite a bit about during this documentary, through which he signed fellow
00:24:05.620
Because a lot of you guys don't want to listen to hip-hop, so obviously, you know, we got
00:24:09.220
to, I want to make sure everyone's kind of aware.
00:24:12.240
Mario Santel, oh God, I didn't know his name was Mario, goddamn.
00:24:18.120
Known professionally as Yo Gotti is an American rapper.
00:24:20.200
In 1996, he released his debut album, Youngstas, on a come-up under the alias Lil' Yo.
00:24:24.720
He went on to release From the Dope Game to the Rap Game in 2000.
00:24:40.560
And two, Gotti founded the record label Collective Music Group, CMG, in 2012, which
00:24:46.500
has gone on to sign successful artists include Moneybag Yo, 42Doug, Black Youngstug, Glorilla,
00:24:54.580
So as you guys can see, he's been in the game for a very long time.
00:25:00.340
...tempts being made on his life before Dolph was gunned down in 2021.
00:25:03.820
Unfortunately for Yo Gotti, even with his biggest rival losing his life in 2021, the
00:25:07.940
deadly street feud that he played a part in Sparking would come back to haunt him.
00:25:11.080
Just as recently as 2024, Yo Gotti's brother, Big Jook, would be brutally gunned down following
00:25:16.720
The person killed is Anthony Mims, also known as Big Jook.
00:25:22.860
And the biological brother, as you guys can see, with the same last name, Mims.
00:25:28.820
With the shooting of Jook, ironically bearing the very same hallmarks of a murder attempt
00:25:32.140
on Dolph in 2017 that saw a hundred bullets fired into his car.
00:25:44.600
Or are Young Dolph shooters really sliding on Yo Gotti and his crew until there's nobody
00:25:50.000
I'm Traplor Ross, the Hip Hop Investigator, and today, we're taking a closer look at the deadly
00:25:56.280
The war between Yo Gotti and Young Dolph is nothing new.
00:26:04.000
So, we're going to go into the history here, guys.
00:26:05.840
So, for this to all make sense, obviously, you got to see how this originally started.
00:26:10.220
I was reading and it says that in Memphis, the criminal rate, it's four times the national
00:26:19.040
I already conducted a deep investigation into this story in a previous video in 2019 before
00:26:35.800
So, to truly understand what's going on, let's take a quick recap and follow the key moments
00:26:39.760
in the beef between Dolph and Gotti and their respective record labels, PRE, aka Paper Row
00:26:46.360
And just so you guys know, Dolph was independent and he was really big on being independent.
00:26:50.500
Yeah, he has his own thing and everything and he always wanted to stay fiercely independent.
00:26:55.920
Yo Gotti wanted to actually bring Dolph on and Dolph didn't want to and that's kind of
00:27:28.620
And he made a song about this, I see you guys in the chat quoting it right now.
00:27:36.860
Well, to truly understand that, we've got to look at Dolph's long-running feud with fellow
00:27:39.560
Memphis rap legend and the best rapper for your digestive system, Yo Gotti.
00:27:43.300
Many have speculated that Yo and his collective music group may have had something to do with
00:27:47.180
But if you're not as plugged into the hip-hop culture as me, you may be wondering who the
00:27:50.980
Well, Yo Gotti, if you don't know, is another Memphis rap legend who's been grinding for over
00:27:54.620
a decade, but in the past few years has had some pretty mainstream hits, including Down in
00:27:57.760
the DM, FU, rake it up, and more recently, put a date on it.
00:28:00.640
Now, both rappers rep Memphis, Tennessee to the fullest, and their claim to the throne
00:28:03.800
of King of Memphis has been a big part of this beef from the start.
00:28:06.320
However, for the record, Memphis has been the home to many kings of hip-hop over the
00:28:09.400
years, including 8Ball and MJG, as well as 3-6 Mafia's Juicy J, Project Pat, and DJ
00:28:14.760
This feud began officially in 2014, when Young Dolph-
00:28:19.260
Like, those guys didn't put Memphis on the map, like, these newer artists, like Dolph and
00:28:27.560
3-6 Mafia is, they've been around forever, but didn't, I would argue that rappers like
00:28:33.900
Pusheisty, Young Dolph, and Yo Gotti definitely did more for Memphis than, you know, 8Ball and
00:28:44.060
And I'm an older guy, too, so I remember their music, you know, but you don't think
00:28:48.300
to yourself, you know, I gotta stay flat, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you don't think to
00:29:03.980
But a lot of people don't even know that 3-6 Mafia is from Memphis.
00:29:06.060
They're saying that 3-6 Mafia put Memphis on their map.
00:29:09.780
I don't think they put them on like these dudes.
00:29:11.460
I think these guys, uh, I think these guys did a lot more for making Memphis mainstream
00:29:22.000
People know who 3-6 Mafia is, but people don't know where the fuck they're from.
00:29:29.180
They don't put, they didn't put Memphis on like, um, like Pooh Shiesty.
00:29:33.120
I would argue Pooh Shiesty put Memphis on the map.
00:29:36.260
I think he's put on, because he had a bigger hit than all these niggas.
00:29:39.300
Back in Blood, I think it was, it was a huge hit.
00:29:41.600
The fact that he put down a record deal from Yo Gotti and his CMG label.
00:29:45.080
Dolph addressed the declining of this offer in an interview with Sway.
00:29:47.740
Like, Gotti wanted me to do the, like, man, come on, bro, let's do CMG paper route.
00:29:53.780
But, only thing was going to happen behind it was people like, oh, he popped out because
00:29:58.220
Which, I can't do that, because I got too much of my own time and money.
00:30:01.260
Gotti replied to this in a Breakfast Club interview, and he sounded pretty positive about things.
00:30:04.300
Now, things were quiet for the next year or so, but then, in February 2016, for some reason,
00:30:08.400
Young Dolphin decided to get his flippers in a twist and come out and sneak diss Yo Gotti
00:30:11.820
Now, I'm not sure what went on behind the scenes.
00:30:15.680
We can sit here and argue about shit when it comes to music.
00:30:20.560
That triggered Young Dolph to tweet this, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact
00:30:23.080
that the week after he had his first album, The King of Memphis, drop it.
00:30:25.700
Now, naturally, this album title ruffled a few feathers in Memphis, and it would've been reasonable
00:30:29.120
to think Gotti and the general public would've seen this as an attempt by Young Dolph to try and
00:30:34.300
Keep in mind that Gotti, amongst other people, were known for calling themselves the King
00:30:36.940
of Memphis in their raps, as well as on Gotti's own Twitter page.
00:30:39.700
That same day, Yo Gotti and his CMG artist, Black Youngster, passed through the Breakfast
00:30:43.280
Club to do an interview about Gotti's song down in the DM, hitting the charts.
00:30:46.520
It's a hilarious interview where, for some reason, Black Youngster decides to count $200,000
00:31:22.720
This nigga's in a goddamn radio studio with a white beater on.
00:31:29.720
It was six chains, iced out watch, beer belly hanging over the white beater, by the way.
00:31:36.720
Yeah, which we call them white beaters in America.
00:31:41.720
Because that's what they wear when they do that dumb shit.
00:31:59.720
It does get brought up that Yo Gotti did kickstart his career by dissing members of 3-6 Mafia.
00:32:04.720
You were actually going at 3-6 Mafia in your first record.
00:32:08.720
I think Young Dolph, Yo Gotti, and Push Icy did more for putting Memphis on the map than 3-6 Mafia
00:32:17.720
But I definitely think they put Memphis on way harder than 3-6 Mafia and A-Ball on GG.
00:32:22.720
Because a lot of people don't even know that those dudes are from Memphis.
00:32:26.720
Well, I just looked up like a top 10 Memphis, like best Memphis rappers.
00:32:40.720
But I think for putting the city on, that's my argument.
00:32:43.720
I think for putting the city on, I think Dolph, Shiesty, and Yo Gotti did more for putting
00:32:53.720
Well, they've been, again, they've been around.
00:32:54.720
Those dudes have been around since like the 90s and 80s.
00:32:58.720
And yeah, those guys have been on since forever.
00:33:00.720
After that, Dolph appears on a Hot 97 interview and talks on the Gotti beef.
00:33:04.720
Now, he doesn't necessarily have anything new to add, but he does say that the two aren't
00:33:08.720
Okay, so have you and Yo Gotti had a conversation lately?
00:33:13.720
And you're not interested in having that conversation?
00:33:17.720
Because it's like, people don't understand, like everybody on the outside looking in.
00:33:21.720
Yo Gotti was texting my phone for two years straight.
00:33:30.720
And I went and had no conversation, but if he wanted to, he know what's up.
00:33:32.720
He can call me or call somebody around me, get in touch with me.
00:33:34.720
But, you know, I'm gonna keep doing what I do, regardless.
00:33:42.720
I was saying it's no problems, but there's damn near a street war going on.
00:33:45.720
I love how rappers always, they always do this where they-
00:33:47.720
Oh, we don't have beef, but then you see the lyrics.
00:33:51.720
Yeah, the lyrics and then also like, there's shootouts and shit like that, right?
00:33:54.720
They're obviously making, they're downplaying it when they're doing these radio interviews,
00:33:58.720
Yeah, it's always like subliminal messages in the lyrics and stuff.
00:34:02.720
Yeah, and then Ebro's bitch ass over here, the biggest hater in the music game.
00:34:07.720
There's a reason why everybody roasts Ebro, but yeah.
00:34:10.720
You know when somebody like this right here, you know what I mean?
00:34:12.720
It's just like, everybody else came in contact with me like,
00:34:18.720
And I'd be like, no, I rock with you, but I can't do that.
00:34:24.720
Now the following month, Yo got his CMG artist and Serial Twix, the Black Youngster-
00:34:32.720
Decides to throw his hat into the beef officially calling out Dolph for his King of Memphis claims
00:34:36.720
and going on Instagram and saying that he's gonna slap the shit out of him.
00:34:43.720
If you got a problem, you say you got a problem.
00:34:47.720
If you ain't King of South, maybe he ain't trying to see the beat.
00:34:49.720
He proves to the world that he is really about it.
00:34:57.720
Like you start making fun of people saying, hey, you're really nice.
00:34:59.720
Oh, because John Dolph was like, he was from Chicago.
00:35:01.720
He was born in Chicago and then when he was two, they moved from Chicago to Memphis.
00:35:06.720
That's why they were like, they were like, yeah.
00:35:09.720
They were like, you're not even from here, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:12.720
He was born in Chicago, but he moved when he was two years old.
00:35:20.720
So that's why they keep saying, cause in my head, he's like, you ain't in Rotary City nigga.
00:35:30.720
He was, all these guys, um, all these rappers and the guys that will live in this neighborhood
00:35:35.720
where they would live on like all these, those guys were from, they were all raised by their
00:35:39.720
grandmas because their parents were all crackheads.
00:35:42.720
Like, even like John Dolph's parents were like addicts, cocaine and crack addicts.
00:35:50.720
So they were all raised by their grandmas and they will usually live outside the states
00:36:09.720
Imagine them telling you like, oh yeah, you ain't from my city cause you came here when
00:36:12.720
Cause I was born in New York city, but I don't consider myself a New Yorker.
00:36:25.720
That's why they were all so mad because John Gotti was, John Gotti was calling himself
00:36:29.720
the king of Memphis way before these guys like Alto call himself the king of Memphis.
00:36:38.720
And he was like, he put it in this Twitter bio and everything.
00:36:41.720
And then you like, and then you'll do like call his album, the king of Memphis.
00:36:47.720
And they were saying, oh, your neighbor from here, blah, blah, blah.
00:36:55.720
Um, Dolph, Poo, Shiesty, and all the other garbage rappers can all suffer the same consequences.
00:37:00.720
Action, Bronzo, Joyner, Lucas, Lil Dicky, et cetera, are far superior and actually drop bars.
00:37:05.720
Put those three against any of the modern crap.
00:37:07.720
Bro, this isn't a battle about lyrics and shit like that, man.
00:37:11.720
I'm just simply saying that I think Poo, Shiesty and them did a bigger, had a bigger impact
00:37:17.720
of putting Memphis on a map than the other artists.
00:37:26.720
Because, um, if you're saying like, oh, you're putting, they're putting Memphis on the map,
00:37:30.720
like that makes that, that says that they are the better, the best rappers.
00:37:36.720
But what I mean by that is if you take Yo Gotti, Young Dolph, and Poo, Shiesty, I think
00:37:40.720
that they had a bigger impact of putting Memphis on a map because their music, remember, music
00:37:46.720
goes way further now than it did before because of social media, Instagram, Apple.
00:37:53.720
Before you used to be out to get a CD to be able to listen to music.
00:37:57.720
So I'm not saying they did it because they're better musicians.
00:38:00.720
I'm saying in the time, in the era that they made music, they were able to get their music
00:38:04.720
to go out further than like, let's say, 3-6 Mafia or, um, 8-Ball and MJG because 3-6 Mafia
00:38:09.720
and 8-Ball and MJG, when they had their biggest hits, social media wasn't as big of a thing.
00:38:17.720
Like, just at the beginning of the flip phones.
00:38:21.720
Yeah, but these guys we've been popping since 2012.
00:38:26.720
Yeah, but they didn't really get, like, Yo Gotti's hit that like really, like, got big
00:38:37.720
But like these guys, um, 3-6 Mafia and everything else like that.
00:38:40.720
Juicy J started to become more popular, kind of more as a solo artist, like with bands
00:38:48.720
Like, if you ask a regular person, where's Juicy J from?
00:38:50.720
You won't even, you, uh, I don't know, uh, Nashville.
00:38:56.720
Everybody knows Memphis because he's always talking about it in his raps.
00:39:02.720
But I genuinely think that they did a better job of putting Memphis on a map.
00:39:08.720
I'm simply saying, I think they're, they brought more awareness to the city of Memphis
00:39:12.720
having artists than the earlier guys like 3-6 Mafia and 8-Ball and MJG.
00:39:16.720
And a lot of people are going to just screw me in the chat on that.
00:39:19.720
I think that this, this always happens whenever you have these hip hop debates.
00:39:23.720
...at Young Dolph's block with a whole bunch of goons and dicks looking like a young soldier boy.
00:39:49.720
To be fair, this seems like pretty erratic behavior from Black Youngster, but I would
00:40:17.060
like to add that he clarified why he did this in a DJ Vlad interview.
00:40:19.500
Quite a while later, suggesting that this incident was more to do with a personal incident
00:40:23.200
that he'd had with Young Dolph, as opposed to the album titling or the Yo Gotti disrespect.
00:40:38.100
Yo Gotti then appears in an interview with the British First Minister of Wiggery, Tim Westwood,
00:40:42.020
where he suggests that he's not really in favor of the way that Black Youngster is handling
00:40:45.360
Now, what the f*** is going on with Dolph, baby?
00:40:56.040
Yeah, I think this is probably a little misunderstanding.
00:41:02.880
He's got to kind of walk back some of that craziness, because you guys got to remember
00:41:06.020
from Yo Gotti's perspective, he owns a record label, right?
00:41:08.740
This is not a good look, because if some violence pops off, who are they going to go to first?
00:41:15.120
But it was always this other guy causing the problem.
00:41:19.860
In interviews and, like, radio stations and stuff, he will always deny, like, being involved
00:41:27.880
The homie young and wild in the streets and all, you know, they just move a little
00:41:39.060
I mean, they were popping out some machines and...
00:41:41.880
I'm glad Dolph just didn't turn up around the corner.
00:41:45.400
I mean, King of Memphis, for us white folks, there's only one king.
00:41:56.980
Now, Dolph wastes absolutely no time getting even, and he immediately takes to Instagram
00:42:00.780
and disses Black Youngster, as well as Yo Gotti, calling them bitches, suggesting that
00:42:04.200
they called the cops on him, and calling them out for dissing 3-6 Mafia early in their careers.
00:42:08.380
Hey, I've been spraying your bitch ass for years, and the whole city know that.
00:42:11.680
Whole guy to you was a bitch ass, and I just got back to the city, they said, you trying
00:42:20.220
Hey, that big head down syndrome, looking mo**, hate on everybody from the city that gets
00:42:24.440
You started out hating on 3-6, and they were having Oscars and you had to hate because
00:42:27.960
you were broke, but that's the only way you can get attention, boy.
00:42:29.740
Now, interestingly, that same day, the rapper Trouble releases the remix for his song Ready,
00:42:35.340
Later that year, Black Youngster basically confirmed the fact that this diss was about
00:42:37.880
him, and you can tell by looking at the lyrics.
00:42:39.660
So, Youngster rushed to the studio to add a diss song onto the mixtape that he was just
00:42:42.960
about to release, and in that confusion, he didn't actually get a chance to clear this
00:42:45.820
So, that diss track eventually came out from Black Youngster called Shake Sutton, and it ended
00:42:48.980
up coming out along with a music video with a bunch of shots that were filmed that
00:42:51.940
same day that Black Youngster pulled up on the block with his goon.
00:42:54.500
To be honest, this was kind of a trash diss track, and nothing really happened for a
00:42:56.980
few months until September, when during an interview, Black Youngster suggested that
00:42:59.780
while things weren't actually squashed, he was over the beef and Yo Gotti doesn't
00:43:30.220
And then again, a little while later in October, Youngster once again confirmed that he was
00:43:35.400
I respect what I'm doing, how I'm getting this money.
00:43:37.080
If you get your money, I'm gonna get my ass, you know?
00:43:44.560
Yeah, they say that because they know that the police, that's a telltale sign, by the
00:43:47.900
way, guys, that they've probably been interviewed by the police a few times or whatever, when
00:43:50.720
they start saying, oh, no, man, I ain't got nothing to say.
00:43:54.400
Youngster always said that all these interviews, him saying like, oh, yeah, we got no beef, whatever.
00:44:02.560
And not to mention, also, just so you guys know, like, Young Dolph started selling drugs.
00:44:07.280
Like, that's how he got the money to start his label, really, to be honest with you.
00:44:12.460
Like, that's how he really started getting his money and became popular was he was a drug
00:44:17.960
I don't think they ever caught him, but, well, clearly, they never caught him.
00:44:21.920
But it's a well-known thing, especially in Memphis, that Young Dolph was definitely involved
00:44:30.400
A little bit until a few months later in February 2017, and seemingly out of nowhere, Young
00:44:34.760
Dolph dropped a savage diss track called Play With Your Bitch.
00:44:37.660
This featured some pretty spicy lyrics and a cover art that all seemed to suggest that
00:44:40.880
Yo Gotti's baby mama had hooked up with Young Dolph and that Yo Gotti had found Dolph's
00:44:50.540
And in the lyrics, it's like, your baby mama, I slept with your baby mama accidentally.
00:45:01.560
Like, and then he said that she slid on his DMs.
00:45:05.880
I guess Yo Gotti was lying when he said it goes down in the DMs.
00:45:08.800
And if you see the cover of the album, if you look it up, he put like 24 minutes call
00:45:40.200
He says that's how Angie pronounced it, Chicago.
00:45:47.060
And then Emil Kidlay says, email said, you failed to complete a favorable polygraph examination.
00:45:52.480
The examiner told me I failed after a test, but he wanted to retest if OPR allowed because
00:45:58.940
If I wanted it back two years from now and my answers changed, could that mess me up?
00:46:03.380
No, because obviously two years from now, your life will be changed.
00:46:06.220
So if you switch some of those answers up, unless it's something like you lie about that
00:46:10.520
was like an affair, it's like, oh yeah, I never did drugs.
00:46:12.540
And then you admit, oh no, I did do drugs, I lied.
00:46:16.500
He describes Memphis as Dolph Land, which shouldn't be confused with the slightly larger
00:46:19.740
Dolph World or its smaller, smellier cousin, Dolph Land Paris.
00:46:22.600
In the track, Dolph suggests that Yo Gotti had dissed him on his two federal mixtapes,
00:46:26.120
which was released by Yo Gotti and his CMG artist Moneybag Yo.
00:46:29.000
Dolph also reiterates on this track that Yo Gotti only got popular from initially dissing
00:46:32.560
3-6 Mafia after he was rumored to be signing with them.
00:46:34.640
Very similar to the situation between Dolph and Gotti.
00:46:36.820
Gotti took to the high road and decided to respond on Twitter, just reminding the people
00:46:39.640
that he was on some boss shit with Jay-Z and LA Reid and that he wasn't going to stoop
00:46:43.060
A week later, on February the 7th, Dolph was at an interview at an Atlanta radio station
00:46:46.300
where he elaborated on the diss and suggested that this whole thing came from one of Dolph's
00:46:49.440
guys suggesting that Dolph was being sneak dissed by Yo Gotti on that two federal mixtapes.
00:46:52.900
He also suggests that Yo Gotti encouraged Black Youngster to beef with him in order to get
00:46:56.180
Black Youngster's career popping in much the same way that Yo Gotti got his name popping
00:47:29.340
He made his artists bring up Dolph's name and tie Dolph's name to his name, right?
00:47:35.600
How did Yo Gotti get popped and get some attention?
00:47:39.180
Nobody heard of him to win until he did 3-6 Mafia.
00:47:42.340
Two days later, Dolph elaborated further and suggested on DJ Holiday's show that he believed
00:47:46.080
Yo Gotti was sneak dissing him on his previous tapes, The Art of the Hustle and Cocaine Music
00:47:51.160
So his last two mixtapes, he's trying to sneak diss Dolph.
00:47:54.480
Now, here's where the timeline gets a little bit messed up because a lot of people out there
00:47:57.520
have reported that Yo Gotti responded to this Play With Your Bitch song with his own song
00:48:01.980
A lot of people have speculated that this was a sneak diss aimed at Dolph that came out after
00:48:05.640
However, it seemed that this track was actually just a retitled version of the song Prayers,
00:48:09.100
which was the last song on that Moneybag Yo, Yo Gotti mixtape 2 Federal, which had actually
00:48:14.360
Now, I'm not sure if this was some kind of internet troll or news outlet just looking to
00:48:17.580
stoke the beef further and take an old song, retitle it and suggest that it's a new Yo Gotti
00:48:21.000
diss, or whether it's just been lost in translation and this was the original sneak diss that
00:48:25.380
But if you go and listen to the song, it just seems-
00:48:27.400
That's why I put that shit with subtitles so y'all can hear what's going on here.
00:48:30.000
Because I know some of you guys, it's tough for you guys to understand the Memphis accent
00:48:37.100
It's like the same kind of generic diss and putdowns that you would put on a song just
00:48:39.620
addressing all of your rots as opposed to anything specifically aimed at Young Dolph.
00:48:42.500
But regardless, Dolph kept it moving and a little bit later that month, on February
00:48:45.360
the 24th, he released the music video for Play With Your Bitch, which featured some pretty
00:48:48.800
hilarious scenes and recreated conversations that him and Yo Gotti supposedly had had.
00:48:52.400
And he uses a Yo Gotti impersonator to appear on screen and basically cry about the fact
00:48:56.000
that his baby mama is hanging out with Young Dolph.
00:48:58.280
Also in the video, Young Dolph gets one of the most comically bad massages I've ever seen.
00:49:01.640
He recreates some pretty hilarious moments between him and a fictional Yo Gotti.
00:49:04.520
Dolph also drinks from a laughably small bottle of lean.
00:49:06.580
Basically, the bottom line is, Dolph went in on Yo Gotti.
00:49:08.760
And there's no way that you could imagine there wouldn't be a response to this.
00:49:10.880
And boy howdy, it doesn't seem like they were about any of that talking
00:49:13.040
because only one day after that music video dropped was the same day that Young Dolph's
00:49:17.040
convoy was shot up a hundred times in North Carolina.
00:49:19.380
This went down during the CIAA college ball tournament where Young Dolph was actually
00:49:23.100
in the city of Charlotte supposedly to perform at an unofficial afterparty at the Cameo nightclub.
00:49:27.320
The official police statement says that around 6.30 p.m. on 600 block North Caldwell Street,
00:49:31.780
several dozen rounds were fired from high-powered weapons and multiple vehicles hitting the-
00:49:36.300
It's the first time she probably ran in her life.
00:49:39.580
I knew you were going to say something about that.
00:49:44.240
600 block North Caldwell Street, several dozen rounds were fired from high-powered weapons
00:49:48.740
and multiple vehicles hitting them indiscriminately only 30 minutes before the final game of the
00:49:52.720
CIA tournament was scheduled to start at the Spectrum Center.
00:49:55.180
Reports started coming out that Dolph was the target of the shooting, but luckily nobody
00:49:58.260
was hurt because he was being driven in a $300,000 bulletproof GMC Yukon XL SUV.
00:50:04.120
Charlotte Mecklenburg Police said that they were exploring the possibility that people in the
00:50:08.940
But interestingly, Dolph was not fazed by these hundred bullets and he hit that stage as planned
00:50:12.680
that night and made sure to perform his yogurt diss track to send a message.
00:50:15.700
And just 18 hours after the shooting, a young Dolph tweeted,
00:50:20.040
Now, I'm not sure whether this was his way of saying you loose or he was just saying that
00:50:22.800
the people tried to shoot him a straight loose.
00:50:25.260
I don't know if he was trying to say loose or loose, but okay.
00:50:30.580
It's safe to say that the block is kind of hot and you should probably keep it quiet
00:50:33.520
A few weeks later, he appeared in an interview and again downplayed the shooting and refused
00:50:46.560
Ain't nothing else than entertainment right now.
00:50:48.080
Then a few days after that, he was actually interviewed on TMZ.
00:50:53.260
...stacking questions actually about the shooting and the details of it.
00:50:55.840
But once again, reminding the interviewer that he was kind of glad that he'd spent 300...
00:50:59.220
I can't play it because we're on YouTube, but this is it right here, guys.
00:51:01.680
He made a video laughing and, like, making fun of the fact that how you missed 100 shots.
00:51:12.820
He actually made a video recording himself laughing about the fact...
00:51:17.340
Yeah, he posted it on Instagram story and he was like, how you missed 100 shots?
00:51:27.940
Interestingly, though, in that interview, he did still call out his number one op, Yo Gotti.
00:51:31.200
Black Youngster expressed his disappointment in Yo Gotti not responding to the beef.
00:51:39.380
But how he moves, it got him back through his career and through his life, so I can't judge it.
00:51:45.220
And at the end of that month, on the 31st of March, Young Dolph appears on The Breakfast Club
00:51:48.040
and once again downplays that shooting and suggests that the people that did it were some amateurs.
00:51:52.360
Why can't you and Gotti just come together and get this money?
00:51:59.660
I was listening to that radio station this morning.
00:52:08.000
Oh, he was playing, he was listening to Breakfast Club?
00:52:11.700
You talking about his baby mom and all that stuff?
00:52:13.700
Oh, you talking about the hardest diss song ever dropped.
00:52:16.820
That's what happens when you get whoever, anybody, like, apparently they know what they were doing.
00:52:20.500
And you trying to, you shoot a hundred times and ain't no nothing shake, no nothing, nobody hit no nothing.
00:52:29.560
Like, what y'all are playing and portraying to be, whatever y'all are trying to do, y'all ain't good at it.
00:52:33.260
And a day later, Young Dolph dropped his new album, Bulletproof, with the first track being 100 Shots, where he addresses that whole situation that happened.
00:52:39.300
He also added an extra dose of salt by making sure that he had named the track list perfectly so that the whole thing read as one big message to his ox.
00:52:44.920
I went through the whole track listing in the room report, 100 Shots in Charlotte, but I'm bulletproof.
00:52:50.500
But he did deny that doing this was baiting further attack.
00:52:57.080
100 Shots in Charlotte, but I'm bulletproof, so fuck them.
00:53:14.140
It has a message that it's actually pretty creative.
00:53:21.600
But he did deny that doing this was baiting further attacks.
00:53:24.420
Do you feel like it's kind of inviting drama, though?
00:53:26.000
Like the name it bulletproof is kind of like taunting, like on some na-na-na-na-na.
00:53:30.120
But Black Youngster was arrested in connection with the shooting a few months later in May.
00:53:33.640
He was actually one of three men who surrendered to Charlotte Police for his involvement in the shooting,
00:53:36.860
eventually catching six counts of discharging a weapon into occupied property and felony conspiracy.
00:53:41.300
Black Youngster addressed this whole situation on his mixtape and song,
00:53:43.820
I'm Innocent, where he addresses the issue and actually suggests that young Dolph was basically dry snitching
00:53:49.380
However, in Youngster's defence, those charges were eventually dropped.
00:53:51.880
But that beef was still simmering on a low heat and looking pretty medium rare.
00:53:54.560
But in September 26, Dolph's ops managed to score a few points,
00:53:57.140
and Dolph ended up getting shot outside of a hotel in Hollywood and ending up in the hospital.
00:54:00.640
Reports say that Dolph's crew were outside of a Hollywood hotel where Yo Gotti was staying,
00:54:04.180
where an altercation and fight ended up happening,
00:54:06.020
where reportedly Dolph was floored in the fight and then somebody pulled a gun and shot him a few times.
00:54:09.740
Dolph managed to get up and flee to a nearby store and eventually was taken to hospital.
00:54:12.680
Initially, fake news surfaced that Yo Gotti was being investigated as a person of interest in this shooting,
00:54:17.000
though this was eventually denied by the police department.
00:54:19.220
But one of Yo Gotti's affiliates, Corey McClendon, was arrested on an attempted murder charge.
00:54:23.360
But not long after this, Gotti appeared on The Breakfast Club denying his involvement
00:54:26.000
and showing off some of the early texts between him and Young Dolph.
00:54:28.320
And eventually, Corey McClendon was released from that attempted murder charge
00:54:30.960
and eventually, Corey McClendon was released from that attempted murder charge.
00:54:44.660
Two months later, in November 2017, Dolph appeared on The Breakfast Club once again,
00:54:49.420
I think Yo Gotti is smart where he makes it where I don't have an issue with him publicly,
00:55:00.180
Continuing to drop a little bit of shade on Yo Gotti.
00:55:04.060
He's supposed to be a label exec, so he can't be out here and say,
00:55:09.800
You know, and then he plays it really cool when he's out in public on air.
00:55:13.460
Unfortunately, I ended that video with a quote explaining that for now,
00:55:16.600
the beef between Yo Gotti and Young Dolph had died down.
00:55:18.580
As both Dolph and Yo Gotti, at the time being, had focused on their music careers rather than...
00:55:22.880
You guys got the back and forth between the two from a musical standpoint.
00:55:28.060
However, unfortunately, only two years after recording that video,
00:55:30.680
I would wake up to see the tragic news of Young Dolph's murder in 2021.
00:55:35.080
it would turn out that there was a lot more going on behind the scenes
00:55:37.440
that may well have contributed to the murder of Dolph,
00:55:39.520
as well as the rap beef between Yo Gotti, Young Dolph,
00:55:43.620
It would turn out that there would also be another deadly war going on
00:55:47.220
between two crews known as Trula Mafia and Double R,
00:55:50.640
Alright guys, now we're going to start getting into the gang show.
00:55:58.040
Yeah, because I watched like a whole hour of like this beef.
00:56:02.180
And well, I saw a bunch of videos of these guys
00:56:06.320
like dissing each other, like beefing with each other.
00:56:11.960
oh, why do you send your clown to diss me to do this for you?
00:56:18.940
Just calm yourself, show yourself, whatever, whatever.
00:56:21.500
You're talking about Black Gangster, the black guy, right?
00:56:31.100
Now we're going to go ahead and go into like the actual street stuff
00:56:51.400
Shout out to Trap Low Ross, by the way, as well,
00:56:57.460
Deeper clues as to exactly why Young Dolph was targeted
00:57:05.680
The real story behind the music begins about 10 years ago,
00:57:08.280
when Young Dolph was affiliated with a young street rapper
00:57:11.100
Jay Money would post pictures of Dolph visiting his hood
00:57:19.460
Jay Money was part of a gang called Trula Mafia,
00:57:21.480
from the Orange Mound neighborhood in southeastern Memphis,
00:57:23.540
which borders the Castilla Heights neighborhood
00:57:26.320
Jay Money was a respected member of the Trula Mafia
00:57:28.080
and was active in the streets from a young age.
00:57:31.160
Jay Money was charged with the murder of another young man
00:57:34.480
But even that situation would seemingly not slow him down,
00:58:23.140
This is like when a lot of the murders were happening
00:58:27.840
Young Dirk, he just kind of hit the scene at this point.
00:58:33.180
like Poo Shiesty did a bunch of songs with Young Dirk.
00:58:45.820
So, obviously, he's probably going to, you know,
00:58:56.740
Another Memphis rapper that blew up from the city,
00:58:59.080
would also reminisce on Jay Money's relationship
01:31:57.900
raising questions about whether or not this murder
01:31:59.840
might have been connected to the murder of young Dolph too
01:32:02.600
she was also a rapper but she was killed in Houston in September
01:32:05.940
yes she went by Lotta Cash Desto but her real name
01:32:10.380
Houston police say the 25 year old was shot and killed in Houston
01:32:16.720
investigators say Govan and her friend were in their vehicle
01:32:21.540
police say two men got out of the vehicle and started shooting at the women
01:32:25.240
we're told the passenger was also shot but survived her injuries
01:32:28.820
so it's been said that this has been uh this was retaliation as well
01:32:32.820
uh for Dolph's death because they knew that Govan was involved so they went after his daughter
01:32:41.460
about a month after the murder Hernandez Govan posted on Facebook
01:32:44.920
that's what I meant to say my bad guys yeah that she would
01:32:47.180
her death was in retaliation from the young Dolph murder that's what I meant
01:33:07.620
yeah talk about self snitching as well in there
01:33:11.540
as we reported earlier Govan has dozens of criminal charges in his past
01:33:16.160
ranging from drug possession to aggravated assault
01:33:22.520
indeed in some ways associated with the Trula Mafia
01:33:24.740
and even had a song together with Jay Money himself
01:33:33.260
but their possible connection to the events in Memphis
01:33:39.220
ah Desto was robbing everybody she could in Memphis
01:33:41.240
she moved away and started doing the same thing
01:33:44.180
nobody from Memphis had anything to do with her death
01:34:02.740
who was not charged in relation to Dolph's murder
01:34:27.040
meanwhile both Cornelia Smith and Justin Johnson
01:54:59.220
and reddit detectives would also soon circulate
01:55:13.140
with one chirocologist turned a memphis historian
01:55:19.060
this was rumored to have been a man named marcus lake
01:55:31.500
lake's business partner would make an angry social media post
01:55:38.160
that they did security for many memphis artists
01:55:41.360
paper route empire's events on his social media
