Why were pagers associated with being a drug dealer or thug ?

[O.Red]

Because in the pre cell phone age the idea was "What do you do that's so important that you need to be accessible at all times?"

Hell, back then Pagers/Beepers were also "Fashion Accessories"

All the "Ballers" had them, and if you wanted to "Stunt/Floss" like you had money, you would get one.

It HAD to be VISIBLE though, so EVERYONE knew you had one LOL!

Back when all the "Ballers" had "Daytons" on their cars, and "Fuzzy Dice" on the rearview mirror LMAO!
