It's the inner strength..
i wouldnt call it petty... they was goin in and leaving out with over 100grand worth of jewels... and doing it all across the country
thats some major paper
Ice T always says he didnt know it was ok for rappers to fake back then... he didnt know rappers was renting cars for videos, renting jewels, hiring video models
all the cars, guns, girls, and jewels in his videos back then was really theirs
High Rollers video is a good example

Is it? Out of that 100 grand you would get maybe 15 or 20 fencing it. Split that 2 or 3 ways and you get a few Gs for taking major risks. By contrast, depending on his hustle a crack dealer could make that in a day or two.i wouldnt call it petty... they was goin in and leaving out with over 100grand worth of jewels... and doing it all across the country

Don't get me wrong though, dude was definitely a cowboy. It just seems that he could have chosen a more lucrative hustle.

He did, you aint seen him on your tv screen for 20+ years now.
the average drug dealer was not making 20gz in 2 days..... if you're only gettin 2 grand a week sellin crack you're doing pretty good
to be honest if a drug dealer has 20grand in his shoe box at the end of the year he did a hell of a job... the average drug dealer ends up in jail before he can save up to 20grand
so if you come up on a quick 20gz thats wut u call a serious Lick
you have to remember it cost money to make money... thats in the drug game or the music business
Ice T said he struggled when he was trying to make it in the music industry... he sold his cars, jewels and all that and invested in studio time, equipment... the whole 9 (pause)
guess u didn't read his book

Lol I guess u right petty makes it sound like he wuz knockin of popeyes chickens at night...I guess as funny as it is to say ice t is a petty criminal by rappers standards
he wuznt a mafia don or kingpin like these lyin azz rappers lolole dude was right for anyone who actually hustled ain't to many people getting 20000 a month hell sometimes you get enough just to reup and cop some sneakers. them nikkas in yo hood you think ballin is rentin rims or paying a hella chunk to a buy here pay here car lot or they car chopped.
let me put it like this If I get a stack from my girls tax return. I buy a half break it down and flip it over time or have the youngin's do it. then by the time I buy a whole I have to do it all over again. nikka's is lying every body ain't on Ki's and bales. Cat's with weight get robbed

Still doesn't change the fact Ice-T was active in one the most dangerous cities in America. But kids are calling 50 Cent soft, so I think being about that life means almost nothing in this environment to be successful.
That's now NOT back then. They were making paper in the '80's which is why crime was so high, everyone wanted more money because it was so easy to get because damn near everyone was getting high. I think Ice was just a smart man and knew the violence that came along with drug dealing, especially in a gang infested area, so he chose quick licks which makes sense because even though the money isn't the same it's faster than drug dealing(if you do enough of them) and the risk is lower for violence and doing time. If you get caught with ki's you can get football numbers if you rob a bank or jewelry store maybe 5-10 years and that's if you get caught being that you did it out of town.
