At the end of the day I judge people on accomplishments. Tariq talks shyt up and completes it, guys like Sotomayer and Umar talk up shyt, get the resources and don't complete it (HC4, 1804 movie, helping charities)
If Tariq was not a man of action I would not fukk with him regardless of who or what he associates with.
Now if Tariq cut everybody off and never fukked with anybody this topic would be
"Why Tariq don't fukk with damn near nobody but preaching group economics etc."
A lot of you nikkas in here can judge Tariq cuz most of ya'll don't have to network and meet new people consistently. You go to your job and get your paycheck and see the same people everyday and go on with your life.
As a producer, recording engineer, videography I will link up with anybody unless I got some insider information to not fukk with them. I meet new people all the time and about 80% of them are bullshyt. It ain't my fault they bullshyt, I didn't know they was bullshyt until I dealt with them. I learn and look for signs but I'm not about to be held accountable cuz some nikka around me fukked you over. And I have disassociated myself from people I knew were morally apprehensive in the world of business
But again, if you don't own a business or a have a side hustle or situation where you constantly deal with new people then I'm not expecting you to understand
