Y'all make it seem easy. Yeah just get an overseas bank account, open a few businesses, invest in stocks like the Feds not gonna be all over your ass wondering how ya ass went from a 9-5 minimum wage dude to owning a bunch of small businesses and real estate. How you supposed to have money in countries you never visited and how will the money get there.

This shyt ain't a movie

Gotta find a way to wash it all... I'm thinking buying gold cash and reselling it through regular jewelers... thus you have a baseline of your funds, money washed... or buying gold bullion and letting it sit somewhere. finding an buyer somewhere selling the bullion and getting legal money.

Apmex.com buys gold wholesale and gives you cash for it, no questions asked...

It is easy though, just have to think shyt through.
If you get money it makes no sense to instantly go out and start flashing and balling.
You have to do something to cover your money, open a catering business, make up fake clients and numbers and "earn" the money that way.
With the clean money you can open up different accounts overseas and more legit cover businesses.

That said you are just cleaning your money. The best case scenario for any drug dealer is to get big enough where you can provide services to the LEO agency of your choice by being an informant . Document your interactions and get ready to move out the biz, before they liquidate you.

Bro lol....that is an interesting conundrum that always has me scratching my head
These scammers, Drug Dealers, Instagram models, love talking that "blessed" "think positive" the shyt is funny


I think it goes back to that video of jay-Z wearing that "do what thou wilt" shirt & the philosophy of madame blavatsky & Aleister Crowley & these new age ideologies....where you can do negative things & separate yourself from them mentally by being positive & creating you're own microcosm , I'm glad somebody else sees this shyt


What you think it is?

I think generationally through many mainstream subcultures, since like 2006 or so, with the introduction of bullshyt like "The Secret" taking hold, and social media kind of further spreading these belief systems, is what led to the current epidemic of people embracing these beliefs. It's always been a deep part of American culture, the 80's, "me generation", shyt like Ayn Rand, but the newest form is extremely selfish and toxic, hateful and dressed up as "positivity" and positive thinking. What I see from friends of mine is equating anything that isn't in line with their world as "negative", therefore it's negative to discuss violence in Chicago, or the oppression of the poor, systemic racism, it's all just negativity to them. You see this everywhere from Hollywood celebs to the trap stars at every level. I also think you hear it in the music, it started with "hater", and now it's "energy", and "vibes", right?

Now, specifically, and generally, I think framing these gaudy, cliched, purchases with "blessed" and "positive energy" is thinly disguising shameless flaunting of their possessions. Also, the very nature of social media is imitating, and I think they follow the lead on what their favorite rappers do, who in turn, are copying what Hollywood celebs/pop stars do.

Going deeper, I think these "hashtags" help sell the idea that they really are blessed and worthy of all bestowed on them.

It's deeply ironic, hilarious, and pretty sickening, to see it displayed here, concerning heroin sales, to members of their own communities, in some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. I don't condemn drug traffickers, but heroin and meth, crack, sold at retail to your people is different though, and with the extra of equating it with "positive thinking" and "positive energy".

You seem very knowledgeable on this subject & you presented sound arguments & I wanna hear more of you're opinion ....ill admit there was violent crime in the community & drugs were being sold before hip hop was even conceived....but with its rise in popularity & being "the voice of the youth" hip hop was used as a tool to indoctrinate millions of malleable black youth into a life of crime



Remember early hip hop was heavily influenced by the 5% nation knowledge wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice,equality, God etc...those core elements was forsaken for gangsterism in the culture & it became the standard motif rappers used until now

While I agree there has been a lot of criminal activity portrayed in rap music, I would put other factors ahead of it as the cause of so many black youth turning to crime. #1 is what almost everyone possesses and that is a strong desire to improve their lifestyle. Combine that with an environment that does not stress the importance of education. Lack of quality jobs. These are real life scenarios. Not music. Desperation is 24/7. Music is only there when you turn it on. And the truth is crime in the hood got worse as our problems got bigger. It pre-dates hip hop. Rap music has been a convenient excuse.

No amount of laying low will keep you from catching that conspiracy charge these days. Social media didn't get them caught up, I guarantee snitches did though. That's why it's better to just take your ass to work in the am or work on a legal hustle.

This.

Of course not, but beyond the pics its indicative of the larger problem. That being unable to stop flashing one's wealth. Poor Blacks and Latinos are already on the radar, so what would you expect to be the case with wealthy dudes? Especially when they're younger. Pushing sports cars, jewelry, high end fabrics, luxury homes and vacations, etc.. Just plain stupid. The game itself by nature is already rigged, but these fools play right in the feds' hands.

I think it's because alot of poor black and spanish folk aint used to having money, so when they do ofcouse it's natural to splurge. But it's better to live for the moment and spend their money on stuff that doesn't have any value other than as a temporary quick fix. And selling drugs to get to that lifestyle just ain't worth it especvially in a country like this where the racist ass justice system is just looking to lock poor black and spanish folks up. Some people just don't want to get money the legal way, that allure is too powerful especially given the environment they raised in.

This is why the deeper I got into hustling the more resentment I felt for rappers who are basically being puppeted by these corporate ventriloquist who use hip hop as a conduit to funnel these young impressionable kids into the prison system they have all bases covered

Okay, you got the government basically controlling the distribution
You got privatized prisons making money from locking people up
Those prisons have stockholders who are also in the music industry
funneling this poison so young black and spanish men fill up their jails and provide cheap/free labor.

It's a fukked up cycle.

I Call it "toxic positivity" I think this is one of the main reason the "Dominant Society" refuses to acknowledge the plight of black & brown people in this country....They believe poverty is a mindset & not a systematic problem that needs to be addressed through legislation


Colloquially known as "pulling yourself by the bootstrap"....I think as far as people on Instagram they have created alternative personalities through dissociating themselves from reality & books like "the secret" or "think an grow rich" has given them this confirmation bias especially with celebrities parroting these maxims


I think if we psychologically evaluate these people & their personas....I've personally diagnosed it as the " Dunning-Kruger Effect" wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority & have these delusions of grandeur & have inept metacogntive skills ( complete lack of self awareness ) that leads them into becoming incessant Pollyannas & basically carving out the road to their own perdition


Overall you right bro

Yes you aren't daling drugs without the government support.
The CIA supports crows and aids in distribution on top of getting cuts from the parties for being allowed the privelge. This is documented in Mexico, this is documented in Taiwan, documented in Laos, in Vietnam, and currently in Afghanistan where the US military was protecting opium fields.
You being from Montreal means nothing, to post that like it means anything is childish.
I don't live in Nebraska, but anyone with sense can see the scope and vast range or girth of CIA drug operations.
You have no idea what you are talking about, go try that "I'm from MOntreal" shyt on a kid who is stupid.

nikka really had the nerve to flex and say "I'm from Montreal" like that means a gahtdamn thing...

Good post, right on all points. My post kind of failed to bring it all home, into that this is all what our country is kind of based on, in a twisted and unjust sense. It's all just "bootstraps" idealogy, and capitalist values processed into different subcultures. That's exactly how pervasive and harmful that belief system is, look what's done to people. Selling heroin to junkies and kids, and buying expensive cars, because it's your "right" and "destiny". No different then CEO's and the like.

That seems to be a continuing theme in this era.

Where peoplknow the thought processes they have a re bad and their actions are unforgiveable, but they compartmentalize a persona out of them which absolves them of all wrongdoing as long as they are personally happy and satisfied.

It's borderline psychopathic behavior.

The same borderline psychopathic behavior that allows politicians to talk about God and Christianity and Morals before they bomb hundreds of innocent civilians in a Middle Eastern Country somewhere.

Rap is the scapegoat used to prosecute blacks & Latinos....Capitalism elevates the individual at the expense of the collective & there is no genre of music that shamelessly espouses capitalism & materialism like Hip Hop does...I think that's where hip hop is used as a tool



You struggling in poverty, sick of being evicted,sick & tired of seeing momma work two jobs, sick and tired of being tired....get it out the "MUD" like you're favorite rapper....Remember "scared money don't make money" & that's the problem these kids subconsciously conflate rappers with this horatio Alger motif of " rags to riches" through selling drugs & being a real nikka , it don't make it better that prison culture is celebrated so you're not as afraid to risk going to jail because you can earn these imaginary stripes & boost you're reputation for being "thorough" hip hop is the "Trojan horse" for the black community a curse disguised as a gift

Those philosophies & ideologies are just sociopaths justifying their sociopathic behaviour through elegant & fancy prose....they give zero fukks about anybody but themselves



Interesting enough journalist are one of the top 10 professions for sociopaths....I would say these new age philosophers are journalist who are chronicling the cultural shift in thinking in this country as well as rappers I'm just a "Ghetto reporter" lol GTFOH
