This is a fact, no bullshyt. I'm writing that book when I actualize this life vision thru. We'll see what comes from that but for real this shyt been realer than almost anything I've ever seen in film. I wasn't some heavyweight money nikka but had a stretch I did really well for myself. Wasn't some hitman but definitely got busy with gunplay. Hit the prisons as an active participant and ducked a couple cases that could put me away for life...

Did all that to turn around and go fully legit and position myself for a real sweet life when I hit my 40s and middle age. I don't know too many street stories that's gone have done it realer than me when I sew all this shyt together...

most of these street films are beyond fugazi. I can't even stomach most of them. some1 like you with your story would be a LOT more interesting and resognate.

if u do do it keep it real. you don't need to add extra seasoning. authenticity I s everything IMO.

Yeah I haven't even tried watching any "street film", since bout 2 years ago, my second BM wanted me to watch Power with her. I watched a few episodes with her but ultimately I couldn't get into it, Gangsta flicks and jail flicks not my thing. Even before watching that with her, I hadn't watched anything in that genre in years. Some subject matter is too close to reality, brings up memories I don't always think about, and some subject matter is just too over the top and annoying in premise...

So thats not what I watch for entertainment but I get why other people are into it...

When I write the book it's gonna be 100, and more relatable to the everyday guy who came from less than ideal background and turned his life into something nice...

I haven't heard his name in awhile but I know the Jack Johnson story!
