Chapter 4: What role does the crack era play in the Black community's current state?
Frank Lucas had the plug in Vietnam. You can have the plug in Afghanistan. To the knowledge, nigga. Tell the niggas go join the army and be drug traffickers. Nah, that's what we got to do. Spook us out by the door. The YN that's set by the door. The young man who's set by the door. That's funny as shit. The YN that's set by the door. The YN that's set by the door.
But I've seen a lot of people saying... Oh, we got to stop this... I seen a lot of people saying, oh, we got to stop this mentality of getting at the hood. You know, we should reinvest in the hood. We should, you know, we don't need to leave and like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, relax. Okay. You got to speak to the mentality that already exists.
You got to speak to the lingo that's already present. Getting out the hood don't mean leaving the black people behind. Get out the hood is a mentality. And what people are really saying is how do I find my way out of poverty, out of abject poverty at that? How can I work my way into the middle class? Or, you know what I'm saying?
Like that is what the, when we say get out the hood, we mean get out the bullshit, you know, get off the block, get off the, get off the, the, the trap, get out of that trap and get and work your way towards creating some financial stability for yourself.
if we can get everybody on that page, if we got, if we got our women and men in skilled trades and education and military, um, and entrepreneurship and not still chasing like the street lifestyle, not still chasing the scammer lifestyle, not chasing the lifestyle that these rappers portray, then we have a lot of viable options to go back and buy up the block because we could pull our money together.
And we know that this is honest. People are doing honest work. Black Wall Street was built by skilled tradesmen, entrepreneurs, and lawmen. People that understood how to run a town. You can't do that with a, I'm just keeping it being, can't just be estheticians and barbers. Those are going to be needed for the community, but we can't build the whole thing off of that. You know what I'm saying?
Not off of that alone. We need plumbers. We need HVAC technicians. We need electricians. We need carpenters, people who know how to build a house.
Brick masons.
Brick masons. These are things that are actually needed. If we're going to go buy back the block, we want to renovate the block ourselves, don't we? You know what I'm saying? Why go buy back the block and then go do what the white folks doing, just pay some Mexicans for cheap labor? and pay our people to rebuild our blocks. You know what I'm saying? Like it is an all encompassing thing.

Well, we keep talking about it, but what we gonna do? What we gonna do about it? How about we get on the same fucking page, nigga? Niggas want to be on the block all day and dress like a motherfucking Q-Dawg Power Ranger.
Dress like the Power Rangers if they had a fraternity and tell me about how to white man the devil. I already know.
The Q-Dawgs.
Oh, shit. All right, get that right, son. No, I'm just saying, bro. A nigga's going to be on the block all day with a bullhorn. Shut up, devil bitch. Yeah, niggas is rude. Jewish-ish.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of revisiting recent historical events?
2085?
All right. Nigga would be dead.
Trying to put niggas back on crack.
But let's lock in. 40 years. Last 40 years, going back to 85. And let's really pay attention to what's going on out here. Is that 80 years? What, 1985? Yeah, that's 40 years. That's 40 years. Let's lock in.
Because I was born in 89. Yeah. And I'm 35.
Yeah, and I'm 30. Okay, yeah. The last 40 years, that's the knowledge. That's the place we should operate in. Because it dictates so much about where we at now. There was so much economy laws. There was so much community laws. There was so much family loss. There was a lot of dynamics lost, a lot of lives lost, a lot of minds lost. We lost a lot in 40 years.
And we're trying to get it all back by hustling and doing LLCs and being CEOs. That ain't how you're going to get it back. Because what you're doing is you go back and you're trying to exploit your community because a lot of y'all do business like crack dealers. You look at your community as custos, as clientele. No, these are people. These people work hard for their money.
I understand inflation, but goddamn, a haircut ain't $100. Now, I don't give a fuck how rich your clients is, nigga. A haircut ain't, 50 is pushing it. But I understand the economy, 50 is cool. But a haircut ain't no $100. Shouldn't cost motherfucking $500 to get their hair done and you talking about bitch come with your hair washed. No. That's not how we do this. Stop hustling.
Y'all niggas got business mentality like crack dealers. You think if you open up a restaurant, you can treat the patrons like shit. You're in the service industry. You think you have to be nice to people as a waitress? Think about how nice you got to be to motherfucking now that you own it. Cause motherfucker destroy your Yelp reviews. Won't nobody come to your shit.
