I ain't had a hit since ninety-six
Ever since then my career been twists
The Fab 5 album got put on the shelf
But they still play "Leflah" on the Throwback at 12
My man said he heard me on Mister Cee
Yeah that's cool but it don't equal chips to P
The brokest rapper you know sell crack after the show
With a fo'-fo' that'll blow back half your fro
The drugs that I sold got fukked up God
So it's, Carhartt suits and construction jobs
It ain't rap dough but the money is cool
Gotta make sure Elijah ain't bummy at school
I guess this rap shyt is a thing of the past
Took the ring off my finger sold the thing for some cash
The nice nikkas broke, then the rest get paid
Damn, look at the mess I made, the mess I made

:mjcry:

No! NO!! NO!!! Ruck couldnt have been broke, he stayed grindin.

He was broke and had to get a regular job and was selling drugs until Monkey Bars dropped (his words), then he got back on and was eating really well off rap.

It's ill how P flipped being broke as somewhat of a gimmick that brought him back to relevance.

R.I.P to Sean.

People like to exaggerate (lie) when it comes to that oversea money but MOP is really loved in Central/Eastern Europe, on some Mobb Deep shyt.

They're good.

I think things are harder (pause) for them early/mid 2000's one hit wonders.

Plus MOP got Rocafella and Unit money. For a duo that probably has low overhead, im pretty sure they did alright. They were in the game for about 10 years before THOSE moves, so they probably knew how to handle that bread.

Cold As Ice is one of my FAVORITE SONGS EVER!!!
