  • Before he became a world famous comedian, Ali Siddiq was selling crack as a teenager in Houston's southside. He thought he had a code in what he was doing, but he quickly saw thin that idea was when he faced with his own father's drug addiction and the role he was playing in it.

    I saw the whole thing blow up in 1985 in LA. It got weird and desperate real quick. Too much money too much need to never run out. A bad combination. Prices for a brick in LA got down to $14k $18k for the very best stuff. Crazy.

      In the 80s with the crack era there were not a lot of opportunities and things were different for black ppl then his mom saying that didn’t mean she set him up for failure she had other kids to raise

    Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something so lame about grown men coming to talk about how cool they were and how they sold drugs when they were younger.. like, what are we doing here!?? None of this seems educational or informative so children don’t do it. Maybe I’m the lame one. 🤷🏻‍♂️
