My pops and his crew were all Street dudes in their youth (and they did some Street stuff as adults until they died). But they all had legitimate businesses like barber shops, gas stations, car dealerships, etc. And they employed people from the neighborhood. They did a great deal of community service and activism and they were pillars of the communities they lived in. As a result, me and my generation who came from them were allowed an upper middle class upbringing and most of us were able to avoid being in any Street criminality or entanglements. I myself got into the streets out of necessity when my children's father died and I had No One to help me because my father was gone, My inheritance was stolen, and the rest of my so-called family were a bunch of d9 types and didn't want to help. So anybody's circumstances can lead to any number of lifestyle choices. But I made the choices I made. I don't regret any of them. And I fought my way out of the situation I'd fallen into and my children are not in that street life either. You can't judge people Out of ignorance & until you walk a mile in someone else's shoe You will never know why they wear the socks they wear.
Get a fucking job that’s a weak man’s excuse. I sold crack for 2 yrs until I realized I was apart of the problem. It’s like that scene from a Bronx tail where Deniros son tells him the gangster was right the working man is a sucker. It takes a man to get up every day and earn an honest living.
The PRISONS will feed them or they will be ate by the graveyards 🪦 PAC was only 25, he didn't live long enough to correct his errors. What's TARIQs excuse?
The funny thing is that cats like you think the hustlers dont know that. I'm not wagging my finger it is what it is. the nigha that go to work everyday is no better than the cat out here hustling at the end of the day everybody come to earth to do their own work. @jsanders9975
Ma’am, you’re taking things out of context he was basically just trying to say he understands the streets because he comes from that environment. That does not mean he’s promoting anything of negativity.. Stop 🛑 it!!!
I understand the streets and was in them hustlers,dope dealers and stick up kids destroyed the community. Tariq is capping how many Malcolm’s have been produced by the streets?.
Dope boys use to take me school shopping when my parents didn't have it.. they never encouraged me to get in the game they just helped out.. they bought me clothes shoes a Nintendo 64 use to give me lunch money the whole 9.. now they're all legitimate business men
For Chicago, it was destructive. Tariq talking points are antiquated on this topic talking about people from 60-70yrs ago!

*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ Salute to the King of Receipts Tariq Nasheed ✊🏾 As a former "street dabbler", I understand the decision to hit the bricks. For some, it's a means to an end. For others, they hope to be the next Meech or Freeway Rick. But what they fail to realize is that those guys did it in a different era. Although guys were telling, there were consequences or the tellers had to get gone ! These days it's so prevalent that it's not worth even getting into the game. They tell and comfortably go right back to their neighborhoods like nothing happened.
Thank you King Flex for giving some perspective to these ignorant squares out here wagging their finger at those of us who been about that life for varying different reasons...they need to understand and stop being judgmental about people & lifestyles that they know nothing about. OCCUPATION AND CHARACTER ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND ONE DOES NOT NECESSARILY DICTATE THE OTHER. 💯
No one is ignorant. A lot of us grew up around it and seen the destruction it does and did. Yall throw around “square” like the streets make you cool or something. No one is judging but we are not about to promote it like its the thing to do. Cant get the whole community hooked on drugs, pass out book bags and act like you did more good than bad, thats ridiculous.
I agree 100% on reperations movement but this issue is where i can't agree with Tariq. He sits high up in his valley mansion talking about how street life is acceptable while its the main reason he doesn't live in a blk neighborhood. This isnt the 90's anymore, you play around in the street life today you will be dead or in jail. TELL THEM THE TRUTH! Blks are filling up the prisons and still dying at high rates on the streets and you telling them to get in and get out before you get caught. Would you tell your kids that? And what kind of message is that when the activity they are participating in is destroying our communities? Its 2024, they have a choice. If a tether had a choice to flee or stay an fba has a choice not to sell out on their own people for a quick dollar. Where are the morals, integrity and fear of god? Why is living in structured 2 parent homes and living square a bad thing? You to old for this Tariq
He even said at the end of the video to stay out the streets going on about how the old hookers used to take care of themselves she just heard what she wanted to and anybody that saying the same thing hasn’t grown up in the hood nor had a family member that went to jail behind that
The new street don’t get grassroots credit. They should be buying all the kids in the hood uniforms because they’re the ones making these kids. The street dudes ain’t trying to do nothing but clothes, hoes and Alan Cadillac doors.
I believe that Tariq's primary motivation for creating the FBA movement is financial gain. He appears to have taken advantage of the dislike that some Black Southerners have towards Black immigrants and Pan-Africanists.
I think Tariq is from a different era of street dudes, where they showed love and were approachable. That's the vibe I get from Big Meech. Nowadays, dudes will flash their gun at you and start shit for nothing. I don't know if it was always like that.
This first caller is really pissing me off and I’m a complete square… let’s just keep it real most of us FBAs have somebody in our family that is or was previously involved in the streets or worked in some type of underground economy.. but that doesn’t always equate them to automatically being bad individuals and destructive to their community just because they made the decision to take a route that was different from the “square” or average “law abiding citizen” 💯 this goofy lady is clearly arguing in bad faith just trying to be contrarian for the sake of it.
This woman things that Hispanics, Italians, Jews, Chinese and others have stopped dealing with drugs? Really?

They did a great deal of community service and activism and they were pillars of the communities they lived in. As a result, me and my generation who came from them were allowed an upper middle class upbringing and most of us were able to avoid being in any Street criminality or entanglements. I myself got into the streets out of necessity when my children's father died and I had No One to help me because my father was gone, My inheritance was stolen, and the rest of my so-called family were a bunch of d9 types and didn't want to help. So anybody's circumstances can lead to any number of lifestyle choices. But I made the choices I made. I don't regret any of them. And I fought my way out of the situation I'd fallen into and my children are not in that street life either. You can't judge people Out of ignorance & until you walk a mile in someone else's shoe You will never know why they wear the socks they wear.
Pac' once said how tf am I going to tell my Ppl' Not to Rob, Steal Or Sell Dope ' When I can't feed them 💥💯
how that work out? thug life!
Get a fucking job that’s a weak man’s excuse.
I sold crack for 2 yrs until I realized I was apart of the problem.
It’s like that scene from a Bronx tail where Deniros son tells him the gangster was right the working man is a sucker.
It takes a man to get up every day and earn an honest living.
The PRISONS will feed them or they will be ate by the graveyards 🪦 PAC was only 25, he didn't live long enough to correct his errors. What's TARIQs excuse?
these cats are still hustling out here, so until you have a solution quit wagging your finger. @brandonjohnson9839
The funny thing is that cats like you think the hustlers dont know that. I'm not wagging my finger it is what it is. the nigha that go to work everyday is no better than the cat out here hustling at the end of the day everybody come to earth to do their own work. @jsanders9975
So many good squares in the comment section lol
The first caller was gaslighting and a complete bore...
Ma’am, you’re taking things out of context he was basically just trying to say he understands the streets because he comes from that environment. That does not mean he’s promoting anything of negativity.. Stop 🛑 it!!!
I understand the streets and was in them hustlers,dope dealers and stick up kids destroyed the community.
Tariq is capping how many Malcolm’s have been produced by the streets?.
@@lamontjennings8996you made no sense
A lot of successful rappers sold crack not just 50
People need purpose....if someone wanna crash out...let it be purposeful, in my opinion.
Dope boys use to take me school shopping when my parents didn't have it.. they never encouraged me to get in the game they just helped out.. they bought me clothes shoes a Nintendo 64 use to give me lunch money the whole 9.. now they're all legitimate business men
For Chicago, it was destructive. Tariq talking points are antiquated on this topic talking about people from 60-70yrs ago! Growing up , I NEVER seen the BD’s or the GD’s or the Moes do ANYTHING for the community but cause harm. Fam, I never even saw the turkey handouts growing up in Chicago (that must’ve been a NY thing lol).
You're a liar full
Eugene Harriston & Jeff Fort prevented burglary, *ape, and police brutality in their communities. Why you think heroin didn't run rampant on the southside/eastside like outwest? 💡
@@ConnieJones-s7j stfu! You a goofy. I lived on 73rd & Euclid, 71st & Clyde, 83rd and Evan’s during my childhood in the 80’s/90’s and repeat never saw them doing that.
@@ConnieJones-s7j UA-cam deleted my comment but YOU saw it! Lame goofies riding Tariq heavy who im cool with, been rocking with him since 03 got a Olmec t shirt from him back in 12 but when you wrong you wrong point blank period.
It’s destructive brother I’ve lived that life lots of death and jail time come with it I’m not proud of it at all. If me being legit makes me a square then I know why I don’t fit into anyone’s circle, so I just stay to myself.
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*

Salute to the King of Receipts Tariq Nasheed ✊🏾
As a former "street dabbler", I understand the decision to hit the bricks. For some, it's a means to an end. For others, they hope to be the next Meech or Freeway Rick. But what they fail to realize is that those guys did it in a different era. Although guys were telling, there were consequences or the tellers had to get gone ! These days it's so prevalent that it's not worth even getting into the game. They tell and comfortably go right back to their neighborhoods like nothing happened.
Destruction
Nuance
The game is supposed to be a short cut, Not a lifestyle….And some don’t get that concept 🤷🏿♂️🪶🪶🪶
can barely listwn to that first caller talk damn how slow can a person be
Thank you King Flex for giving some perspective to these ignorant squares out here wagging their finger at those of us who been about that life for varying different reasons...they need to understand and stop being judgmental about people & lifestyles that they know nothing about. OCCUPATION AND CHARACTER ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AND ONE DOES NOT NECESSARILY DICTATE THE OTHER. 💯
No one is ignorant. A lot of us grew up around it and seen the destruction it does and did. Yall throw around “square” like the streets make you cool or something. No one is judging but we are not about to promote it like its the thing to do. Cant get the whole community hooked on drugs, pass out book bags and act like you did more good than bad, thats ridiculous.
I would rather be a square than take pride in destroying my community.
All the gangsterism goin down back in the day went down before hiphop. Gangsters would listen to Al Green before a drive by. Lol
B1 FBA ONCODE!!!
We absolutely adore and honor our good brother Tariq ..
Bf Skinner s " behaviorisms " i learned about that in psychology philosophy class in college back in the day
She definitely not FBA if you don’t understand the struggles we have to go through to survive as a FBA she not one of us, where is your family from?
Excuse me just because I don’t agree with him I’m not black gtfo fr
I fuck with Tariq but these 25 / 30 min videos ain’t it !
Yea do one big cast
@@choco.es.unlimited I get why he chops them down but damn lmao
@babytattjones yea then he is doing 17 minute clips. Too short
Them boys was doing drive bys listening to Boyz II Men v End of the road back in the day lol
I can’t believe this is a topic of discussion. This is low vibrational.
Shorty has a real simple mind frame and she doesn't understand the way the world works
Her feminism kept showing
Good broadcast!
This girl is a dam tether get off the line and go watch BMF!!!
Here is the answer would Tariq let his sons live the street life or encourage it?
Tariq has built an empire to the point where they won't have to...that's the point.
@@damionjwilliams many people who grew up with street cats as siblings did it the right way too
@@damionjwilliamsthat doesn’t stop kids like King Harris from wanting to be a gangster like his daddy was.
She don't believe in the drug trade lol This girl need, to learn 😂😂😂
Shid I wasn’t waiting for it to get dark. Up early out and store open by 9
By her logic, what music caused the Crack epidemic?
At least if you fail as a square you don’t die. If you fail in the streets, you’re dead
Respect 🇯🇲👊🏾
Also Bumpy Johnson & Frank Mathews!
That female definitely is voting for Kamala
We coach our sons teams and they all went to college free & graduated and got drafted
I agree 100% on reperations movement but this issue is where i can't agree with Tariq. He sits high up in his valley mansion talking about how street life is acceptable while its the main reason he doesn't live in a blk neighborhood. This isnt the 90's anymore, you play around in the street life today you will be dead or in jail. TELL THEM THE TRUTH! Blks are filling up the prisons and still dying at high rates on the streets and you telling them to get in and get out before you get caught. Would you tell your kids that? And what kind of message is that when the activity they are participating in is destroying our communities? Its 2024, they have a choice. If a tether had a choice to flee or stay an fba has a choice not to sell out on their own people for a quick dollar. Where are the morals, integrity and fear of god? Why is living in structured 2 parent homes and living square a bad thing? You to old for this Tariq
What is reperations?
@@dubarmaxwell Google is your friend
@jsanders9975 Clearly, you missed the sarcasm, like you did to the spelling of "reparations."
@@dubarmaxwell It's UA-cam not grammar school
Digress this topic king asap lol
Stop arresting street dudes and empty prisons and let them do the work then
He even said at the end of the video to stay out the streets going on about how the old hookers used to take care of themselves she just heard what she wanted to and anybody that saying the same thing hasn’t grown up in the hood nor had a family member that went to jail behind that
The new street don’t get grassroots credit. They should be buying all the kids in the hood uniforms because they’re the ones making these kids.
The street dudes ain’t trying to do nothing but clothes, hoes and Alan Cadillac doors.
Ask her if them "Now Legal" weed shops popping up around the country are bad and the folks running it are destructive; harming the community?
I believe that Tariq's primary motivation for creating the FBA movement is financial gain. He appears to have taken advantage of the dislike that some Black Southerners have towards Black immigrants and Pan-Africanists.
I think Tariq is from a different era of street dudes, where they showed love and were approachable. That's the vibe I get from Big Meech. Nowadays, dudes will flash their gun at you and start shit for nothing. I don't know if it was always like that.
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
This first caller is really pissing me off and I’m a complete square… let’s just keep it real most of us FBAs have somebody in our family that is or was previously involved in the streets or worked in some type of underground economy.. but that doesn’t always equate them to automatically being bad individuals and destructive to their community just because they made the decision to take a route that was different from the “square” or average “law abiding citizen” 💯 this goofy lady is clearly arguing in bad faith just trying to be contrarian for the sake of it.
Some people need read history
King Flex dropping Gems!
