That was the end of his chapter.
Totally betrayed his mother's sacrifice and its a spit in the face to those who never had the opportunity or gifts.

Early life
Born to Jackie Peace and Robert Douglas, Robert Peace grew up in East Orange, New Jersey, which borders Newark. His parents didn't live together, and his father sold drugs. Rob's father was involved in his son's life, but Rob lived with his mother and her family. His mother worked long hours at low-paying jobs and sacrificed to send Peace to St. Benedict's Preparatory School, a private middle and high school. When Rob was seven, his father was arrested and charged with murder, convicted, and sent to prison.[4] Rob visited him often in prison until his father's death there, when Rob was in his mid-20s.Yale University
After high school, Peace was sponsored by Charles Cawley, a bank executive, to attend Yale University, where he majored in molecular biophysics and biochemistry, and worked in a cancer and infectious disease laboratory. While at Yale, Peace earned over $100,000 selling marijuana.[5] Peace graduated in 2002, with honors. One of his roommates was Jeff Hobbs, the author of Peace's biography.After graduation from Yale, Peace taught biology for four years at the Catholic high school he had attended even as he expanded his marijuana marketing and personal use of marijuana, alcohol and possibly other drugs.[5] He then worked for low wages at a major airline and traveled often.
To summarize the article incase link won't open. Dude really hustled backwards trying to live life like breaking bad
. With that said they're making a film about him sometime this year.

Love is a long road.
All of that potential completely wasted, he should have put his intelligence to good use.
I read this book a few times.
Smart kid from the hood, got a full ride to Yale, graduated and moved back home.
He got frustrated with the money he was making as a science teacher so he quit and used his knowledge to grow weed and become the plug.
He used to give his people speeches about how presidents like Clinton and Bush all did dirt to get to the top, and felt like what he was doing was the same as them
Eventually word got out that he was the plug and nikkas ran in his crib, had him show them his operation, then killed him and robbed him
On one hand I understand his choices but on the other he’s naive if he didn’t think the wolves were coming
His nickname in his hood was even “Yale.” Once the wolves heard some kid from Yale is in the hood supplying nikkas, that’s all it took for them to put the plan in motion unfortunately

seems like bruh was a capitalist to the bone. He was probably smarter than most on this board so he 100 percent understood the risks.

It's not if you know the right people in Cleveland. That being said, if you aren't in those type of circles, it's probably best you not worry about things that don't concern you.
Good education good school but his career pay was shyt
