^^^ no homo but if someone was to point at a picture of the crystals and tell me one of them is P's mom i'd be able to identify her because they both got similar noses and the distance between their eyes are similar

From P's ducktales:

"But don't let the good fortune, showbiz, and spotlights fool you: My grandparents and parents came up during the 1940's, '50s, and '60s during major segregation, racism, lynching, and pure hatred for black people. When they gave birth to my father, Budd. Johnson Jr. they were very well-off money-wise, so growing up my pops was known as the rich kid in South Jamaica. He got into a lot of fights to prove himself in the streets, extra-wild shyt to show people he wasn't no punk.

This was my pop's side of the family-Mom's side was different. On Mom's side, my great-great-great-grandpops, William Jefferson White, and great-great-great-grandmoms, Josephine White, were 5 percent black and 95 percent Irish. Her entire side of the family could pass for Caucasian.....Finding out about my family tree blew my mind. At first, I was disgusted that I had white blood in me. All I could think about was some white slave master raping my black ancestors.

Pops thought he was a player, and Moms left him when she found out that he had a handful of girlfriends. At fifteen, Pops was in a doo-wop group called the Chanters.

My grandmother's dance business was making a lot of money and she enrolled me in a private preschool at age four...Pops was also a karate sensei, a natural-born fighter, and had his own karate school for a few years before I was born.

In 1980, when I was six, my grandmoms paid for me to go to Woodmere Academy, a private elementary school five minutes from West Hempstead in a town called Malverne. The school was 99 percent white.

The white kids were cool though, and a few of the girls had crushes on me.

On my seventh birthday, my pops pulled out a shiny, nickel-plated .380 in my uncle Eddie's basement. Pops always told me that Eddie was a punk because he didn't bust his gun when they had beef with somebody over Eddie's sister. "I'm gonna teach you how to shoot a gun", Pop's said. I was shook, I did what he told me. Pop put a small garbage can across the room to use as a target. He put the gun in my hand, warning me that the gun shot was going to be very loud when I squeezed the trigger.


He (Pops) was very intelligent, but as smart as he was, he must have had some criminal gene in his DNA. He was a very wild boy, who got into a lot of fights with they hands and the guns. Pops was one gun-happy mothafukka.

Even though Mom's toured the world with hit records, you know the music biz. After all the filet mignon, champagne, caviar, and limo rides, she never got the money she was owed. We were on welfare and foodstamps until Mom got the housing authority job.

One evening, when we came back from QB, Moms found Pop's heroin works hidden in cosmetics bag. Needles, syringes, spoons, cotton balls, tourniquet. They argued back and forth. He left and didn't come back home for months.

When I was eight, Pops took me for a ride, and told me how he'd been addicted to Heroin since he was 14, and how he and Mom's might split up......Then we pulled up to a Jewelry store. "Wait in the car" Pop's told me, "I'll be right back". Five minutes later, he came running out with a big brown shopping bag full of gold and all types of jewels...We got four blocks away, and the Nassau County Police were immediately on our ass. After a high-speed chase through Hempstead, Pop's finally came to his senses and stopped the car.

My Grandmas bailed him out seven hours later, and he and Moms separated permanently.


Pops kidnapped me that same year (1984) and took me to Detroit, where he'd been staying since he and Moms split. I went over to my grandmom's in Hempstead and Pops was waiting for me. He didn't take me by force, he just didn't tell Moms where we were going...I think Pops also wanted to show me how he was living now, because his cousin Beverly had that nikka ballin'! She had her own investment firm in Detroit and gave Pops a high-paying position. Pops was wearing fly three-piece suits without the necktie. He was open off his new whip, a five-speed Renault he had shipped from France. Beverly was richer than a muthafukker. In downtown Detroit, there was a skyscraper with her name on it. We lived in the finished part of a mansion she was having built...They had a river in the backyard where we went fishing for crawfish.

We were in Detroit living the life. I think Pops waited almost four months before he called Moms and told her where we were. She knew Pops had me, she just didn't know where. She threatened to call the cops, but I lived in Detroit more than a year.

Then all of a sudden the ride was over. Moms's threats of calling the police worked, and Pops agreed to send me back home. I was back in New York, except we weren't in Lakeview any more, Moms had moved to LeFrak City, Queens.

Its kinda sad that his moms did songs with Ron Spector, toured all over the world and ended up on Welfare, but that's how the majority of black acts ended up back then.

Tragic
