There's an episode of The Sopranos about this too. Tony was living check to check. But not Hesh :mjpls:

Of course...he is getting royalties from the six black kids that signed over their publishing to Hesh :/

Street dudes better off working at Wal-Mart since they won't be able to afford a lawyer once they get jammed up and they will...

do you ever see those old head bums outside?
once upon a time they had it, cars, women, money etc
but now they are dirty, stink and on all types of drugs to cope

that's the future of these dudes

Yup...80s is over but I see the old heads blasting the bluetooth speakers w/LL Cool J, Curtis Blow, talmbout...
"What up young blood?"

They should have moved smarter!

Back in the time of that study that 3.30 was the equivalent of $18 an hour. For an uneducated young kid with no introduction to work etiquette. That was Solid bread.

That $7 was like current day $36ish an hour. Enough money to save up and cop a home in a couple years.

The conclusion they found is that selling drugs was the best option for those growing up in the projects when you laid out all their options.
