LOL... work hard! They never tell you that you'll be rich, they just allude to it



Success is relative. My pops is "successful" in my eyes, he's making good money doing what he dreamed of doing but he's not "rich" by any means
Him and my mom have a decent living and are happy individually and together. That's all I'm looking for, just to continue to be happy and comfortable (not struggling to pay the bills lol)


Diddy look drunk/high...these nikkas just love to talk. He sound like Khaled who sounds like him...they just tell each other these "mantras" and "pep talks" like they saying something mindblowing :heh:

I thought this dude pops was getting it before he passed. He went to private school and was even a model as a baby I think.

I will say this tho.. puff paid his dues in The Game...backup dancer, choreographer, party promoter, talent scout, image consultant to executive producer to CEO to Moghul. And maneuvered around some Heavy characters.

Ima leave out the other suspected activities...party pawty

Just work hard...If you say so. TakeDat!

Puff be drunk as shyt. But if it's true what people say about him having to suck dikk to get on I can imagine that'd be a good enough reason to stay with the booze.

Didn't Puff go to private school? Wasn't his pop some big hustler in Harlem back in the day?

The problem with wealth once you've had it for so long is you become a little to self-righteous, delusional, and start believing your own bullshyt a little too much.

Hard work is a definitely a component; nikkas not just sitting on generational wealth like the Victorian era and doing nothing all day but eating figs and writing poetry; you definitely have to put in work, but it's a system in place here in the US to help you maintain and generate more wealth once you hit a certain dollar amount. Those doors aren't open to people who simply work hard.

High school dropout, did over a year in jail, I'm a millionaire... I actually think anyone can do it if you make it your goal. The problem is people just sit around buying shyt they shouldn't be buying, trying to keep up with everyone else instead of creating their own lane.

Anyone can...not everyone can. The very nature of money and more importantly "value" is NOT everyone can can create value and generate wealth.

For the record, I don't exactly disagree with your post, but it's WILD disingenuous if you think this 70 year old Fred Sanford or Diddy's path to wealth is attainable by everyone.

And if the point of your post is anyone not everyone, I don't know why you quoted me. It's a centuries old pipe dream to say to the poor, you can be just like me...if you work hard enough. It's a placation to keep the poor from inevitably robbing their asses.

It don't even take long to be honest,nikkas get a warehouse job making 20$ an hour and become self righteous like they got it all figured out. Tried to tell yall,all it takes is a little bit of money for black folks to start talking that bootstraps talk.

I was a janitor at 18 and giving effort was the dumbest shyt I ever did. They would just give me more work and even somehow cut my hours while giving me an extra day.:mjcry:
