end up like what?
I think he means why did Nas and Jungle grow up in the projects? I can't lie, I've always wondered this too.

The fukk are you talking about. So you think Olu was going platinum and left his sons in QB? His first solo jazz album was released in 1998. He was a sideman in bands up until that point. Hes not Miles Davis , you Indian idiot
Yo, I'm crying, why are yall so aggressive man?
Olu was playing at bars..not arenas..
He was getting beer/whisky as payment.
