Big Ups to JayZ

[antbanks81]

I know he has been doing this for some time now, but it still amazes me. I'm looking at the mayor of New York, some Russian billionaire and a former drug dealer that made it.

You gotta give dude props for making it from the drug game, to the (top of) rap game to his present post as: a business, mannn! I know of some former "pharmaceutical" dudes that made it out the game, but no where near this dudes level.

I think what he is doing is just a testament to the need for street knowledge as well as book knowledge.

The fact that this dude is an idol to most of my people says a lot about us...

It's not even about the drug days, and AndyBricks says he wasn't even like that...it's about the journey he has taken. There are too many guys that started out like that that are dead or rotting in jail with faded memories. No matter if he was a kingpin, streetlevel dude or middle of the pack, he turned that into a successful rap career. He then took to the business world.

Our kids will see this man at awards shows and in movies likely and won't know his past because they will see him eating in the White House. I do believe having Beyonce has opened up a lot of doors for him as well, but that is some story. Dude def will have some book/movie deals lining up.
