It's amazing how great talents like her and Nas can be so talented, but yet unable to pay their debts.
"On the corner of my block there stood this old man
A black immigrant from the land of Sudan
Who used to tell stories to the children in the building
But never had a dollar to keep his pocket filled in
He bombed, he knew Deuteronomy, the science of Astronomy
But didn't know the basic principles of economy"
Most artistic right brain idealistic people are not ANALYTICAL (number crunchers)....it's too cold and calculating for them to wanna deal with
especically if they come from an AFROCENTRIC background like Lauren and NAS ...the Capitilisim is TOO EUROPEAN for them.........so they have a hard time adjusting..........
