Tired Of Simple N1ggas

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Phone blowing up thanks to lames asking me to step out to whatever bar or club at which they’re ringing in the New Year. I wouldn’t be so annoyed were it not for the fact none of these cats have shyt going for themselves. All of them are broke in some form or another, either working a dead end job that pays them pennies or doing even worse and living off the generosity of family and friends. I know some of you will ask why I have these kind of squares in my circle, to which I can only respond that they are genuinely good dudes who are a lot more authentic than the cats around here with money. I need to get the fukk out of Boston. Educated, motivated black people who are on code are nowhere to be found around here. It’s either broke and dusty cats, street dudes, or PAWGers.

You sound like miserable company

Throw your boot cut baggy cargos on with the smedium jacket and get out there playa

plenty of good business ideas fail, too. That’s business.

No more t shirt brands... If you not actually making new designs then good luck

my shyt isn’t even together, to keep it real. I’m a struggling entrepreneur who saved 80 grand and am presently spending it all to launch a clothing line. If I fail, which could very well happen (hell, it’s likely I will fail), most of my savings will be gone and I’ll be back at square one. So, I am definitely flirting with utter life-altering failure right now. Don’t get it twisted.

i dont know your background so i apologize in advance but perhaps you should speak to a business consultant or pay an executive in the industry for advice in operations to learn the ins and out of running that sort of business or perhaps partnership if not either way good luck to you.

Damn, bruh I remember what you told me in my thread last night but sometimes you gotta put the overly seriousness stuff to the side, have a little fun and enjoy yourself. Having a lil fun for a night isn't gonna ruin anything .

 

[CoryMack]

Just worry about yourself man.

 

[BXKingPin82]

Im doing good.

So, i genuinely dont be giving a single fukk about what anyone else is doing.

And no one...

I mean NO ONE smokes for free!

Don’t worry about a lot of the responses on here, as we know, a hit dog hollers. What you’re experiencing is natural...you’re basically growing apart from those around you. Your reality has expanded...instead of doing mundane shyt like working and smoking a blunt you are now finding vendors, managing cash flow, streamlining operations, fine tuning systems and processes, finding investments, and etc which creates a contrast with those around you.

You try to discuss your world with them but they either don’t understand or don’t care and you end up feeling unfulfilled by your conversation with them. You then try to keep the conversation at their level but your expanded reality reveals the inanity in a lot of their conversations. You wonder why that nikka Demetrius keeps having kids with hood rats or why Travell thinks the big booty hoes he’s fukking makes it worth staying at that dead end call center job he hates so much.

You start realizing that they will always be stagnant, they don’t want to rise and progress like you do. You start seeing them in a different light and that’s fine. You want to talk to people who understand your problems and can help you solve the, and get to the next level. Demetrius and Travell can show you where the smoke is at but you tryna find the capital...there’s a mismatch there.

Yeah, were not even going to try to play that game, and the fact that you came with such a sassy, passive aggressive response to those posts must mean you too are that "special snowflake" type who convinces himself hes somehow above his "friends" that he speaks so lowly of but is in fact envious of on the low. And your whole post comes off kinda to begin with, but thats a whole other discussion. All I know is, if dude always thought so lowly of his friends, why is he still calling them his friends even till now first of all, and why would he need the coli to tell him to change his associates who are stagnant? shyts common sense
Dude just felt some type of way and wanted to shyt on his boys to feel better Cant tell me otherwise. Either way, I question the character of anyone who would call people their "friends", but shyt on em when theyre not present.

Why don’t you encourage them? If they don’t take it then fukk it. At least you tried and that’s what a friend does

A lot of “feelings” and projections in here


@Deuterion made a real post tho, but you don’t have to abandon them . They’ll likely be the ones to hold you down in a crisis


But clearly you’re feeling like it’s time to develop a new network . Just gotta go for it man, and in the meantime continue to be the change you wanna see. It usually attracts what you’re looking for .

Changing your “pool” and network isn’t easy but often necessarily for upward mobility... with that said, it isn’t super difficult to change it either in a sizable city either.

You just gotta put in the work and have something really tangible to offer .

I’m assuming you’re outta high school and likely over 21, so as you age , your relationships (outside of day 1s) become less about “oh this person is cool” and more about what mutually beneficial transactional offerings those in your potential new network can provide.

But you have bring something to the table .

nikka you the one that’s being sassy, I’m just spitting facts. I have a bunch of homie from my hood who I don’t fukk with cuz they don’t be on shyt. At a certain point it becomes detrimental to me as many of them have nothing to lose and regularly get into situations that can get them a little bit of time but all cause me to lose everything. There’s nothing wrong with growing away from people in your life who you once considered friends. People grow away from their spouses, brothers, sisters, and etc but growing away from your friends is some cardinal sin? Nah.

Young Buck is a great example...at the height of his career he should have been like OP “I need to get the hell away from theee nikkas” but he didn’t. Guess what, he had 9 dusty hood nikkas around him and he ended up becoming the 10th. He started calling off rapidly...getting behind on taxes, doing a bunch of drugs, tryna he the hardest and richest nikka on the block, and he ended up losing a lot.

That’s because he had an inner circle of a bunch of nikkas that ain’t never been in position so they couldn’t tell him that he needed to put money away for taxes cuz they didn’t know or to tell him to invest and etc. they was telling that nikka to stunt and to party in the club and he did that all the way to his downfall.

So you can be mad all you want but it’s best to make sure you running with people who have common goals. Doesn’t matter if they are farther along or further behind as long as they tryna move in the same direction.

Because then he cant be condescending and sanctimonious on the coli. Some folks actually make it a point not to put their people on cuz theyre afraid theyll end up surpassing them
As they say, folks like to see you do good, just not better than them
