watched the whole hour plus... :wow:

his advice isn't very tangible. This isn't a "this is how I did it" lecture, but you can gather gems when you are listening to the way he speaks and the way he answers questions. What I got from it:

Take Chances
Be confident
LEARN and become an expert and whatever it is you are doing
Follow your passion to become profitable
Give back
Find like minded people to push each other forward
and it's going to take time

What else does he need to say?

folks need to listen from 24:30 to about 25:30. u should really listen to the whole thing. but im saying this for the impatient.

he's right. create barriers just as others (wypipo) have done to keep you out of the fun.

I haven't checked this out yet but That's true. That's how we let a a billion dollar industry such as hip hop get controlled by the people who didn't create it. Always eager to let others be down to our own detriment. If non blacks wanted to participate I guess that's cool but we need to own and control our music

I was preaching investments (which is where Robert made most, if not all, of his money) in another thread and the OP just disregarded it. :wow:

He was talking about "Blacks need to focus on academically dismantling trailer park White boys FBI crime stat arguments". :mjlol:

This thread should be just as long as that damn Kevin Hart sextape thread.

It shouldn't. It's just a guy talking and saying some basic stuff. There isn't anything there that will help you learn about making money. People need to stop clamoring for pep talks.

Although Robert Smith is a good example for the most part.

This doesn't even make sense
