Raised himself so he was practically my older brother from ages 6-20 My coming of age moments forced him to grow up and be a better father. When he was good he was great, when he was bad he was fukkin terrible.

Had a father son convo with him and he said he was having dreams of himself flying over his hometown of beaufort south carolina with his dead father. Looked me dead in the eye and said when I die give me a proper funeral and do not hold on to shrines, pictures, etc let me go son. Ninja died a week later march 27 2011 two weeks before his 50Th bday

My father in a nutshell. I am thankful for him though.

Great father,he separated from my mother when I was 9,he was active around,took me n my brothers to school every day,and on Sunday always took us out,I was still a bad ass kid growing up cuz we lived with my mom and she was always working so I was always in the streets,he taught me alot and gave me great point of views and perspectives that I would other wise not have,and I feel it's what alot of fatherless boys need growing up,yeah I'm far from an angel nowmbut n I know right from wrong,even now when my dad knows what I do and what I get into,he tells ,e he doesn't like it but I'm my own man now and he can't tell me what to do but will still be there for me if I need him:mjcry:

My dad was horrible. He was abusive and very controlling. To both me and my two older siblings. We did not have a mother (she died giving birth to me) so my sister tried her best to help raise both me and kankuro to be nothing like my dad. So anyway onto my dad's career. He was a hustled and taught me to sell dope. He was violent with us and this broke me. I often lost my temper and hurt others.


How was your dad?

:patrice:
My dad was strict but reasonable.

At times, I thought he was too hard on me, but I realized that he was trying to prepare me for adulthood in a racist society.

I never saw my dad drink, smoke or hit my mom.

He was cool, he was really aggressive though. Used to be scared to talk to him sometimes.
Got older, bigger, fistfights started happening but somehow it made us closer.

Pretty sure he been cheating on my mom for majority of marriage though.

Other than that he was a straight shooter, never did anything illegal or considered it. Preach the virtues of hard work and a honest living even if you're not rich. That's were we differ the most.

But he provided/cared. Am grateful for that. Dont enjoy being around him though, i feel like I'm on eggshells when around dude and as a result, our relationship has always been very tense/awkward.

My dad didn't live with me and we never really talked or hung out but he did provide for me financially and not through any court ordered agreement. So I guess its good and bad. Allowed me to go to private school and have fresh gear at a time when being cool was imporant and my mom wasn't buying that shyt.

In the streets before and a little after my 2nd brother was born.

Crazy rep back home. Glad I was never in the streets because I doubt I could live up to it without dying first

Did a couple bids when I was young but I was like one and 3 so the time missed wasn't crucial

Always emphasized being true to whatever you believe

Was always encouraging

Stressed education although he lacked any after high school (he has his bachelors now tho)

Used to have this weird pet peeve about crying and to this day I have a hard time shedding tears

Overall a good guy did the best he could to be an example to three young men though he was young and inexperienced himself
