I’m not talking about a musician or even a corrupt lawyer, I mean guys like Tariq Nasheed or some IT nikka acting like the “goons” are just one phone call away 

When you say “still have pull” I’m assuming at one point they did.
The guys who left the life behind just left the life and not the people. If your peoples was real with you, they would willhave your back.
I have goons on deck, just the other day I hit up a day one about getting someone’s legs broken, he just said send me his address, car he drives, and his picture.
How is it different from everything else? Black people are programmed to worship gang culture and anyone who doesn't gets ridiculed.
Theres a lot of pretenders out thereStreet nikkas don’t stop being street nikkas because they get an education and a stable career. You never heard the term “Tupac in a business suit” Zay?
So the whole community didnt adopt that East coast/West coast beef in the 90s?This is false. You nikkas just be saying anything unchecked.
