I'm bout to fucc you up with this one. Ask Snoop, Jay Z, Nas, 50, Game and prolly a few more top sellers if they can walk the streets that they once called home (without the police escort or a million other niggas that they didn't grow up wit). I know it's fun to have money and not worry about bills and mortgages n shit but it would eat me alive if i couldn't go bacc to my blocc and kicc it wit he cats I grew up with. That's what i'm talkin bout. 50 gets White Collar respect....that shit is no comparison to gettin respect on the blocc you were rasied on. i'm not sayin muthafuccas gotta be scared of you or no shit like that but with all that money and you can't even go sit on the porch you were raised on with you folks. I'm cool....like I said, don't get me wrong havin money is sum fun shit, but if you can't drink a beer in front on the blocc you grew up on....you might be in a worse predicament than you were in when you were broke.

Ironically, I gotta fuck u up on ya own words real quick when u said Jones would've been going off a lil while back if there;
A while back, the kat Mase said in an interview way b4 all this beefin over the air/on wax shit that when he woke up one morning with a bird in some hotel, that he felt he was successful and all that;
but had none of the people he grew up with around him; not sure if it was this interview or not too far afterwards, he retires and becomes a pastor;
Fast forward to him on the radio, frontin with Angie (as MANY an artist does) & his man he grew up with felt he had to call him out on some principles shit, airing out his conduct as if they were on the blocc;
& the more the murderous Pastor fronted, the more Jones brought that reality to the airways and started talkin about handling it up close and personal between men, maybe theatrical but thats all I took from it;
That whole shit was nothing but educational with some different perspectives being represented apart from what some kats are taking from it:
Curtis was talkin to Runblaat cuz he knows he can with his power PLUS he knows and recognizes what these kats are doing to market their business, just like rappers, chasing that spotlight for marketing of their own images for their businesses
Cam truly believes he's up there with the biggest of them since he is CEO of his situation and responsible for pulling his crew into Any real spotlight and industry attention along with having the pull to get the liquor and cologne distributed worldwide;
would like to see his whole crews' gross through ALL his deals, situations and relationships out of curiosity; aint a fan of the music but aint mad @ the hustle;
plus him yellin and talkin over, acting all wild and shit (like he does just like that dickhead's show and tactics he uses on his show that him & Dame were on), he Knows he's gonna generate a lil more attention for the label
SP said what he's always said and says from the heart - he's not interested in compromising a piece of himself for no bigger picture; he aint throw no chair @ Puff for nuthin; said he'd do a deal but not for himself with the kat who brokers with his power & influence
peace
