Don't post content of black and Latino people on your channel for a week. So how y'all feel about that, man? I mean, Vlad plays Speaker 2 (4:03) very good. Oh, my God. What did this guy just say? I'm Speaker 1 (4:07) just going Speaker 2 (4:07) to be honest. Speaker 1 (4:08) Yo, I'm done. He Speaker 4 (4:11) didn't get stabbed. Vlad, shut the fuck up. Speaker 4 (4:23) Yeah, Speaker 2 (4:29) it's the talk of New York, Tony Ayo. It's the boy Uncle Murder, a.k.a. Led Jet Lenny. And it's the Real Report Show. Let's go, y'all. Bro! And shout out to our moderator, Harlem Legend. What's up Harlem Legend? He's in the building. I want to make sure y'all all like, share, and subscribe. The number's been going up. We got Harlem Legend up here moderating. We love him. Shout to Harlem Legend. He's in the building. And you know it's the Real Report. We report what's going on in the culture. And you know what's going on, man. We don't care about nothing but reporting what's going on in the culture that we love. Shout to Volume, the feed Yale show on Complex. You know what it is. Harlem Legend, what's going on, man? Talk to me. What's Speaker 4 (5:11) up, fellas, man? What's going on, man? Man, there's a lot going on in the media, Speaker 1 (5:15) man. Speaker 4 (5:15) Yeah, there's a lot to talk about. There's a lot. What's happening out there, man? Hey, man, first off, man, we got to start, man, with Lil Durk, man. A federal jury found Lil Durk not guilty of conspiracy, stalking, resorting, and death of murder for higher charges tied to... The 2022 Los Angeles shooting allegedly targeting Quando Rondo. Quando survived, but his cousin Lil' Pab was killed. So Lil' Dirk, he's not been freed though. Okay, like we still got some things to hurdle. Despite the acquittal, Dirk remains in custody because he still faces a separate racketeering case that was split from his trial. He has been jailed since 2024. Speaker 2 (5:58) Okay, well, you know what had me tight? Because I'm thinking we're going to be out here popping bottles of Le Chim and Dom P and all kinds of stuff. Because usually when somebody's not guilty, it's freak dirt. You think that's it. And then the feds hit you with something else, man. It's wicked business when you're playing with the feds, bro. You know what I'm saying? But shout out to his lawyers. What is it? Drew Finland and Brian Steele? Brian Steele. Yes. Shout out to the Dream Team because only, what did they say? It's a 93 % chance of being guilty with the feds. But when you got the lawyer money, like I said on Vlad TV, when I talked about the Keefie D trial, if you got a legal aid, you're guilty. You know what I'm saying? As long as you got that lawyer money, you're going to be great. You know what I'm saying? And it's crazy how his friends just told on him, OTF Jam, Vonnie. It's like, man. What's up with them guys? OTF Speaker 1 (6:43) Jam is a, he's a sucker though, honestly, because he was only facing three years. for the gun. And then wind up confessing to all those murders and look how it played out now. Now he got to do life when he only had to do three years for a gun charge. He played his self. I Speaker 2 (7:01) mean, you know the feds, they know they got every trick in the book for people that are not, you know, not intelligent, bro. You just, you know what I'm saying? Anybody would take three years instead of admitting over three bodies, but it's a messed up situation, but free dirt. And I think, He got another fight to fight, right? What do you think? Speaker 4 (7:18) Yeah, let me ask y'all this, right? Because... So, since he's been found not guilty, it seems like... Like, so his crew, right? Because these guys... you know, they admitted to doing it, right? So, OTF Jam, OTF Bonnie. They even said Bonnie Speaker 1 (7:33) was stealing money from King Von's trust fund that was for the kids and all that. So, Speaker 4 (7:38) he Speaker 1 (7:38) was like a real slime bucket ass nigga anyway. Yeah, Speaker 4 (7:41) I Speaker 1 (7:41) agree with you. So, Speaker 4 (7:42) but does the artist actually, because if they all OTF, how does that work? Does the artist always take responsibility for what his team does? Speaker 2 (7:54) Hell no. I mean, this new case is Rico and Rakaterin charges, right? Because he beat the murder for hire charge, excuse me, right? Speaker 4 (8:03) Yes. Speaker 2 (8:04) I think he'll beat this one. I really think positive with Dirk. I think what he's doing is he just got mixed up with the wrong crowd. And I think sometimes, you know, it's like Sammy the Bocavano. Sometimes, you know, you can be down with the mafia and just take a deal for no reason, bro. Like you said, three years for a gun charge, you admitted to three bodies, and Dirk still beat the case. Due to him having a dream team, I think he's going to beat this next one. I think Dirk is going to be free. Because to me, it's like a double jeopardy. If I beat the murder for hire, how are you giving me a rack of tearing and Rico charge? I just don't see how that works. Speaker 4 (8:40) Well, what he did was, so his lawyers, they tried to bring it in at the last minute, and he separated it. So now he's facing it. But, you know, it's weaker. than what he actually just fought. It's like a double jeopardy, ain't Speaker 2 (8:53) it, Speaker 4 (8:53) to you? It can't be double jeopardy. No, because it's different charges. It's different charges. That's how they get over. So he's not actually, it's not bodies, it's just ongoing criminal activity. Speaker 2 (9:03) But him being the murder for hire, what I'm saying is makes this case better for him to be also. In the eyes of a jury. Speaker 1 (9:10) Facts, because it's weaker than the actual Speaker 2 (9:13) case. Speaker 1 (9:13) It looks like now they're just trying to get him on anything. Well, it's not weaker because Speaker 2 (9:16) Rico, he's still facing what, 20 years. So it's not a weak case. But it's not death. But what I'm saying in the eyes of Speaker 1 (9:22) a... Speaker 2 (9:22) But when you pick the next jury, they just seen him beat a murder for hire. So it would make the case weaker in my eyes. I'm not a lawyer. I might be wrong, but you know what I'm saying? It's free Dirk. Speaker 4 (9:35) Well... Let me say this. His mom recently took to the internet and she blames herself for, you know, D-Thing. Because, you know, his brother D-Thing had actually got killed. Also passed away out there. Rest in peace. Rest in peace to D-Thing. She actually blames herself. Her name is LaShonda Woodworth. She broke down during an interview with Amber Grimes and says she blames herself for both the 2021 killing of Dirk's older brother, D-Thing, and Dirk's legal troubles. Should the parents actually blame themselves for the predicament their grown sons are in today? Speaker 2 (10:09) No, I don't think so. I don't think, I don't think, I think, you know, our parents all raised us well and we all choose to go the paths we went, you know, and I'm speaking for myself because my parents raised me not to do a lot of things, be in the streets, but my dad used to chase me off the block, but I love the block. I just feel like, um, it's sad to say in Chicago, it's just a cycle of crime. You know, in certain areas when you downtown in the Waldorf and you chilling, them areas is made to be good. But outside of that, it's crazy. Speaker 4 (10:39) Is she just being too hard on herself? Speaker 2 (10:42) Yeah, I would say that. Yeah. Speaker 4 (10:45) I mean, so to me, it's just sometimes they say it starts in the household. You know what I mean? So if these guys is coming up in Chicago like this and you know these blocks are like this, I know it's not easy for everyone to get out. Not everybody be having it all the time, but it's gotta be a way to just get out the environment. Speaker 1 (11:04) She probably felt like she could have did things better. So that's probably why she's saying that. I don't know the reason she said that, but she probably do feel she could have did some things better. She probably being a little hard on herself or she probably felt like, damn, if I did this or I did this or if I did this. maybe things would have turned out a little different. So we don't really know what she went through or her reasons for really saying that. She might be a little hard on herself or who knows? She probably speaking from a place where she probably be like, damn, I could have did X, Y, and Z better. Speaker 2 (11:35) I feel like every parent, when something goes bad, they feel like they could have did better, but they all try to steer us the right way. That's how we all grew up. All our parents didn't tell us to go out to the streets to catch felonies. or do crimes, they always want it better for us. So when things go bad, of course a parent might blame themself, but you know, it's Chicago. So, you know, rest in peace to them. Now Speaker 4 (11:55) move Speaker 2 (11:55) - Rob Markman, Let me Speaker 4 (11:55) ask you, is this the culture of Chicago is what we've been seeing for the last Speaker 2 (11:59) few years? I Speaker 4 (12:00) mean, we Speaker 2 (12:00) move on, we move on. We talk, rest in peace to Q50. He just recently just got killed tragically at a gas station. You know what I mean? And it's crazy. It's like, when you look at a Chief Keef. He made millions of dollars and he did the right thing and moved out of Chicago. So you see so much talent in Chicago. You know, Chicago's a nice place. When you downtown by the water and you're in the Waldorf chilling and the condos over there by, I think it's the Michigan River or whatever it's called over there. I think it's great. The food is great. The vibe is great. But it's like once you go past, you know, that part, it just gets crazy, man. You know, you can't be an artist. in these times right now and actually survive in Chicago. Like you can't, because there's no time for lacking. Lacking, you're gone. Two minutes of lacking in Chicago, it's over for you, bro. That's how I feel. Especially when you're a rapper, you're a target. It's all about hats now. How many hats you got, which I don't like to talk about or glorify, but if you rapping about that, you know what comes with it. I seen the tape with Q50 saying that he knew he's prepared to die. Rest in peace to that man. He's young. He said he was ready to die. I was ready to die. He actually said, yo, I know I'm going to hell. Me and Vaughn, I'm on demon time. He said that. That came out of his own mouth. So I'm saying it's just like when you stuck in an environment and everybody's way of thinking is shoot, stab, kill, you're going to turn into what the environment is, sadly to say. You know what I'm saying? But rest in peace to Q50 and rest in peace to Bloodhound, Lil Jeff. Because they was talented. They had music. You know what I'm saying? They had good music. And there's a lot of other artists, rest in peace to them, that was good. You know what I'm saying? the fpg ducks and you know what i'm saying and the king vaughn's and the list goes on and on there's a lot of stars coming out there but it's like if you stay out there you know i'm saying look at chief keith success to him You know what I mean? He got every kind of car, Ferraris, Lambos, big mansion, living the life, all kinds of jewelry. He made it. You know what I'm saying? But when he went back for that one day, what happened? They shot at him, supposedly, allegedly. You see on tape. You know what I'm saying? So I think the thing is when, you know, when you make it out of Chicago, if you an artist, make your money and move out, bro. Speaker 4 (14:20) To you, Murda, final question in this Dirk situation, right? I got to ask. If Dirk comes out unscathed, right, he just completely beats all charges. Everything is all settled and done. Is Dirk the biggest artist in history? Speaker 1 (14:38) Yes. Of course, man. You're talking about somebody that beat the Fez twice, back to back. That's involving murder and racketeering and murder for high end conspiracy, all these different charges. And then you got his homies that's supposed to have been day ones and all this that snitching on him that he done gave $50,000 to his OTF jam and all this and Bonnie and these dudes that he was really holding down, taking care of. And he get around all of that. Of course, man, nobody never did it like that. Nobody, nobody never did it. Definitely. Speaker 2 (15:10) He'll be, he'll be the, he'll be the biggest artist. But I think he'll still be a little bit under Drake because Drake put up that $10 million for the lawyer money or whatever so-called with Drew Finlan and them guys. So Drake, to me, a dude that's willing to spend, yo, here's $10 million for your lawyer fees. That's real boss move shit right there because you can't beat the feds without that kind of money. Let's be serious, bro. You're going to get Keefie D. Know that. Football is back, folks, and you need to change the way you invest in the NFL this season. It's finally time to ditch your old sportsbook apps because Polymarket is here. Polymarket is a legal prediction market now available in all 50 states.

Bloodhound Q50 killed in Chicago ambush, right? Chicago rapper Bloodhound Q50, born Mikael Cooper, was killed at 22 after multiple masked gunmen reportedly opened fire on his vehicle at a gas station in Fuller Park in Chicago. Speaker 2 (17:17) I mean, you know, rest in peace to Q50 and Bloodhound Lil Jeff, like I said before. He said in interviews that he knows the life he lived and he know death is going to come. These guys are not scared to die. A lot of people are scared to die. Nobody want to wake up in the morning and be like, yo, I want to die today. But out there, it's like the mentality is they not scared to die. We all seen the video and the videos online. It was crazy. His mom spoke out. Seven people. There was seven shootouts. Seven people shot, something like that, the same Speaker 4 (17:49) day. Speaker 2 (17:49) Right after. Right after. An hour later. It's like, for me in Chicago, we got to do better, man. It's some way you got to do better, bro. You know what I mean? It's a real dangerous times right now out there, bro. And I'm just going to be honest. If you slacking for a minute out there, it's a wrap for you. Rest in peace Q50 and Bloodhound Lil Jeff, but that's the game you play when you out there, bro. Speaker 1 (18:12) I seen people saying stuff like he should have just moved out the neighborhood, but we don't know if he had the money yet like that, if his money was up like that enough to just move out like a Chief Keef or a Lil Durk. Because I seen a few people saying he had some success, he should have moved out the hood, but we don't know if he was up like that yet to do that. Speaker 4 (18:30) Well, according to reports, Murda, he didn't live there. Like he didn't live in Chicago anymore. He just frequent Chicago, but he don't live there. So he did move out. Yeah, they were saying he was in Milwaukee. But let's talk Speaker 2 (18:42) about this, right? He gets killed, right? We got CCTV everywhere, right? Right, Harlem? You agree with me? Yes. Now you got the internet detectives, right? That's one thing. You got the real detectives. That's another thing. And then you got the ops, right? And then you got your people that's going to ride for you. It's a lose-lose situation and it's a never-ending cycle. It's eye for an eye and eye for an eye. A spiral of killings with no ending in sight, brother. So... Fast forward, right? You got these guys. Reddick is already telling you who did it. Wrong or right? Right away. Dude's already self-snitching. But Speaker 4 (19:24) you Speaker 2 (19:24) don't know if Reddick was right. Hold Speaker 4 (19:26) on. Speaker 2 (19:26) Hold on. Reddick. All right. Reddick is already. We ain't going to put nobody in Speaker 4 (19:29) jail. Speaker 2 (19:29) We don't know your sister. Allegedly. Allegedly, Reddick is already telling you who did it, even though somebody got the same hoodie on in the video, it looks like. Right? Yeah. Even though. We all wear hoodies. So you got, that's the internet detectives, right? Then you got the detectives that already know the cause and all that. You've seen that on the news. And then you got the ops that you need to worry about because seven people got shot. And then you got the guys that's supposedly on a gram where Mad Ham is telling it. Yeah, they actually got the guy's Speaker 4 (19:57) faces, Speaker 2 (19:58) man. Like, on the internet. Now, look, now is it self-snitching? Or are we to a point where people like an artist, Legend of Murder, when they like an artist now? Fuck that, you killed my favorite rapper. I'ma investigate. There's motherfuckers in the crib that do that. You killed my favorite rapper. You killed my favorite rapper. Now I'ma investigate. Then you got internet detectives. You got forensics. You got CCTV. So when you pulled off from that gas station, you gotta go somewhere. Them cameras gonna follow you to wherever you go. So it's like motherfuckers is killing people and kind of telling on they self, bro. When you hear six masked men coming for one individual. That's an organized hit. That's a mafia style hit. Fed's coming. Speaker 2 (20:44) That's a mafia-style hit the way he got hit, bro. The feds are coming. Speaker 4 (20:48) I want to ask y'all, did y'all see the video? It just seemed to me like this guy had a death wish, man. When you look at one of the videos that I've seen on the internet as of recently that's been popping back up, one of his ops, he actually had the guy's child, his ops, he had the guy's child playing with the dude's child, putting his hat on him and... Yeah, like taunting the baby father, the guy that he's beefing with. Eight months later, he ended up like this. I mean, what is going too far in the streets? I mean, Speaker 2 (21:21) I think stuff was always happening in the streets, but now I think the internet is the fuel to the fire. You know what I'm saying? Like, Murda always say, yeah, things was happening. I agree with you, but now the internet is the fuel to the fire, bro. You know what I'm saying? Because the killings ain't going to stop. We know that. You know, that's just something that's happening in Chicago. And rest in peace to Bloodhound Jeff and Q50. But I think after Bloodhound Jeff died, you heard me, Harlem Legend? I don't think Q50 wanted to live no more. That was his right-hand man. I think in the hood, we deal with extreme PSD, and we deal with street anxiety for the rest of our lives. We old and we still deal with it. So now... Speaker 1 (22:02) The younger kids are just dealing with it on a whole nother level. I wouldn't say that. I think he wanted to live. I don't think he ain't want to be here. I think the young boy wanted to be here. I think these young boys just be like caught up in so much drama and what they doing. They just in the moment right now. But if they actually get a chance to live a little longer, I think they mindset to change. But they, some of them ain't just even getting a chance to grow. Speaker 2 (22:26) Right. You Speaker 1 (22:26) know what I'm saying? I think they mindset to change when they get a little older for those that do make it. You know what I mean? That's how I look at it with that, man. Speaker 4 (22:33) I got to say this, though, right? Let's finish up on this one, right? I got to say this, though. So as of recently, his mother spoke out. Q50's mother spoke out. She said just like this. Let me make this motherfucking clear. Somebody mama going to be crying like me on BD. Y'all want to troll? I'm going to troll a lot of you bitch ass niggas feared my son. And now you're going to have to fear his mother. He not here to tell me don't do this social media shit. Speaker 4 (23:05) This is his mother speaking back to what's going on or the internet, people trolling him, you know, the kind of life he lived. What do y'all say to that? Because a lot of people say it
