Wassup with the Clipse and drug dealing?
- Thread starter D.C Young
- Start date
Thats probably why they're not in jail, they're drug dealers no one said they buss their guns.
I can tell you're a nerd.
Rappers and Dope Dealers have a kindred relationship that dates back to the inception of the first rap records
this make sense considering rap is a genre that has always struggled to gain corpprate acceptance
so that street money has always been a dependable factor in the financing of upstart labels..management...and show promotion
where else can u get the funding....
Its not like u can walk into a bank and secure a loan for your rap label
Anf its been like that for years ....long before the trap music / gangsta rap era
although hip hop purists love to romanticize the golden era
their is a dark side ....Sugarhill Records was started on a line credit given to the Robinson family by Morris Levy the mafioso affiliate. who maintained a sizeable share in the Sugarhill Brand while distrubuting Heroin in the jersey/philly area
Cant forget the DISCO FEVER club in uptown NYC which was patronized by Fat Cat..Supreme ..and a host of other "hustlers"
Also not too mention labels such as COLD CHILLIN RECORDS home of the legendary Juice Crew founded by Tyrone "Fly Ty" Williams spoke fondly of his relatonship with Queens drug lord Lance Furtado
Even righteous minds go thru it
RAKIM. had mutual relationships with KILLER BEN outta Brooklyn and Eshaw down in Georgia....
and lets not forget Russell Simmons ...Easy E...and Laurence Goodman aka LG all have earned stripes in that game

i believe he was trying NOT to get caught up in that bullshyt
going by the way he said it
random: nikka used to put out dope vlogs
Curtis Sc00n hates Russell, exposed that he was just a heroin fiend out in Queens and only connections to the streets is he ran with a bunch of fake gangster nikkas that turned out to be snitches
yoooooooo
whatever happen to dudei remember he was droppin mad knowledge on twitter a while ago, nikka made me sign up for that shyt
"I took lots of every drug from heroin and coke to ecstacy and LSD. Meditation kills medication. #SuperRich"

There's not a drug dealer alive that made millions of dollars and decided to become a rapper 
Wanting to be seen in music videos and at the clubs or even having a record label is what some big time dealers might do. But signing up to personally snitch on yourself for a 60 minute LP
These rappers touched maybe half a brick once in their 20s and get on rap songs like they were Carlos Lehder

Fukk your corny debates
I was born and raised in Portsmouth. Anyway, to answer the question, yes, they did sell coke. They have deep familial connections to the drug game. But they weren't these kingpins that were "touching the hands of the growers" and all that shyt they talked. They were just two of far too many coke dealers in the Tidewater/Hampton Roads area in the 90's who just exaggerate how big they were just like a bunch of other rappers.
And they were just some regular nikkas from Kempsville, VA Beach from what I hear, which isn't known as a tough area at all. All the notorious hoods in the 757 are in Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Newport News for the most part. So they weren't some super thug tough guys by any means, but like I said, they were definitely connected.
A lot of people in area don't fukk with them because they feel they don't really rep the streets of the 757 and they shot the Grindin video in Tidewater Park projects, where they are not from and probably couldn't walk around in without cameras and security. I fukk with them though. They made hot music and they helped put the 757 on

Suppose be a IT cert like you coli nikkaz
thats how long the feds been tapping them guys im assuiming. they took like 4 years to stockpile a case. they knew everything but the feds just WAITED .....
my biggest issue is the co conspirators and the marked out names. these guys were grabbin work from everywhere. what happen to all them?
chicago, phoenix , etc
the reason they were able to get out of bein indicted is because their paper trail is traceable to their actual deals with record companies/sales of records. people who get indicted are usually indicted because they have the money but no feasable means of attaining income that would disguise their drug money as income. when they get audited by the Feds, there's a HUGE discrepancy if they are just simple drug dealers without jobs that actually rake in big money.

It's lame nikkas on the corners too tho. In EVERY hood. nikkas wit no "style" sense of "swag" or whatever you nikkas call it, or who don't fit the typical "street nikka" mold that's stereotyped...That means he's lying about his past/drug history? Or are you just jaded after hearing so many nikkas lie to you in records and being turned off by his image/style that you automatically assume he's sellin wolf tickets?
We as fans got to be more objective...Even nikkas I hate to hear rap, I'll admit it's a few of them I believe were about that life...Even if they seem soft/corny to me. shyt, one of the most notorious kingpin nikkas I know, stands at about 5'3, skinny as fukk...used to wear tall ass white/pink tees & sneakers, and had a major East Coast city on SMASH in the early - mid 2000's. Corny voice and everything. So let's be real.
And we as street nikkas...the FEW on this site
gotta stop this "there's only one type of street nikka" bullshyt...
