Mecca is talking facts and like the black community the rest of the people in the shop aren’t taking heed to what he’s saying. Everyone loves to scream I’m independent and I’m on my own after their parents tell them they have to be out after 18. But it’s a downfall for our community because we try to make it on our own when we don’t really don’t know how to then try to go back and are told no you have to tough it out when other communities welcome their own back with open arms and help them to time after time while the black community looks at you like you’re a complete failure. You have to learn from your mistakes and if you have nothing or nowhere to fall back on to. then most give up or just stay stagnant. I.e. pay check to pay check and never really accomplish their goals cause of the system they were raised in. We need to stop thinking that making someone fend for their own because society says they’re grown. Everyone needs help in certain areas and if going back home to reset is what it takes then so be it.
Amen!! These dudes acting like clowns and stunting growth by being ignorant like shii all good smh. Mecca couldn't even give the full breakdown because they wanted to interrupt with irrelevant nonsense. People like them is reasons why blacks aren't nor will not achieve success on a global scale, where there's many amongst us instead of a small number. Hard headed, too loud & proud, running their mouths but ain't saying nothing of sustenance. We don't be listening at all, when they could’ve absorbed the knowledge and built off of it giving solutions. He even told us to not listen to what Mecca was saying though, like what smh?!
@@DrixMaloneDFS We all know what the problems are.We do not to be stuc k on it like he is and making it the focus of the c onvo.That is my point.Put the energy towards solving it
Math you missed his point. He was saying that the generational habits in the hood needs to change. And it's geared more toward the NYC NWK CHI PHIL BMO type of communities where real estate is hard to come by so if you got it keep it and if you don't, then acquire it and keep it available for the generations after you so they always have that foundation to fall on so they can regroup. Fact is, he was right. What do you say to the grands and great grands still in the same PJ apartment they raised their kids in 50 years ago? There's no ownership there. It's not about his circle, he is talking about the plight of the people and the people is the audience. He is discussing it with you but, try to reach the thinking of those of us who need to consider what he is saying.
True… Mecca was talking about having a familial foundation. His friend was able to regroup securely, b/c he was able to rely on his “foundational springboard,” otherwise known as his family/family structure and support. Continued blessings 🙏🏾💞
In a major way. I fukin hate when we talk about people ( the masses ) and a nigga starts talking about what he sees and who he knows. I've been with my wife since 16. So we have been together for 30 years. So if a nigga tells me he married his 2nd baby mother and they got divorced in 3 years. And 70 percent of marriages fail after 3 years. And I say that's bullshit. I been with my wife 30 years. I'm 1 man. And if we are talking about say 10 million people. And I'm 1 out of ten million. And the majority of that ten million is being affected by something and I'm not. Who should we focus on ? Not the 1 that's not effected. So what you know a Lotta niggaz doing good. That's because that's the circle you are in. You can always tell when a nigga starting to eat. I been doing well for a while now. And I'm still fully aware I'm doing much better then the average Black Man my age. I didn't say the few. I can make 100k minimum up to 150 in my life at the moment. That number would make 50 cent or Jay z cry. They have Jewelry that costs more then that. But to the average dude in NYC or NJ. I'm doing better then him. The average dude drives a 25 to 30 thousand dollar car if he has 1 at all. . My car is worth 56 grand. The next 1 I get will be around 80. The average guy is not driving a 80 thousand dollar car. I don't give a shit what your personal experience is if we are talking about the masses. People need to think before they speak.
Mecca was speaking all facts. Math you can’t say he’s singing a sad song when that song is basically the anthem of our history. Our ppl aren’t setup like other groups are.
Yah lunchin, mecca speaking 1000% correct, let him get the floor . all that overtalking with ignorance n being inconsiderate to his thoughts is the reason some people get discouraged in trying to breakup the monotony within our generational habits. Show support within the race as u grace n respect other races.
Math on some bull in this video. Brother is over there speaking facts and you say don’t believe him. Nothing he said was wrong. Every other race will save save save to help the next on in line, And not look for it back. But math will say every excuse why things are not right. That brother speaking facts!!
This podcast deserves an award the conversation that’s being had is amazing Hoffa do not sign you rights away to have these type a conversation where ppl gonna try control you and the guests
It’s an “in-between” convo because we’re in an “in-between”reality historically. So both convos need to be heard so the new reality can be understood and appreciated and done with context and reasoning. Definitely conversation that needs to continue to be had followed by action all of us will rise.
Mecca has my vote on this one 💯👌🏾 Imagine if all the rappers promoted only majority black owned products.. I just don't believe the major labels will allow it.
This episode really shows how divided and delusional the black community is. And it’s also the main reason why I no longer have these conversations with most of our people. Mecca was speaking straight up facts and Math was being a contrarian.
Cause math get a check from the *ish* people. The camera didn't move to the person in the back ground until math got up, that was WRONG.... At that notice I'd say it's almost dangerous for that dude to be there, people don't think people be getting sacrifice but they do. Dude that was legit need to bounce for his own protection.
🎯 .. like these type of conversations are worthless at point because it's too many individuals speaking for themselves and not everyone as a whole bosses kings Shepard's servants even Rome doesn't like people to gain to much power
@Beeshi B 🤔 Let me see, it don't . If i say people breath be stinking, it don't mean I know all. I wasn't speaking In absolutes. Now if you want to go look at the data from the cdc and see our people divorce rate, abortion rate, homeless, wealth etc this all goes back to a mindset.
That was probably that hardest session. I seen. Out of everybody.thats been on...Dat made so much Sense. But went ova so many heads. Shout out to Mecca..... You killed it
Exactly! Mecca was on point when he said his white friend had the option of moving back home to start another business when his previous business failed because his parents set it up that way.
Some of Us come from families that don't have a safety net to come back too. Some have parents that throw you to the wolves of the world @ 18 even tho you are not prepared mentally or financially and tell you figure it out you can't come back here because that is what was done to them.
And some of those individuals that are blessed to make it all the way through some of them will carry that on with the rest of they life and don’t want to deal with anybody so they never look back and they stay on the move for the rest of they life they tend to get selfish but can you really blame them in a way of them being selfish? They got thrown to the wolves no support no nothing. I’m not saying people should be selfish but I understand why some people are
@@Dantana773 I never said you said they were selfish. I just was saying people that get toss to the wolves in a way it can make them selfish in the future
I was really surprised Math light bulb didn't come on safety net being said. We all know that's dead ass what it be with a ton of them versus black. We don't get to come back home a ton if never to reset and try again. Mom n pop dukes can't afford that shit!🤷🏿♂️
Seems like Math just getting a taste of a little money and now he is in rooms with people doing good and interprets that as not everyone is struggling out here...Nicca wake up and listen to what Mecca was saying SMDFH
Correct, He try to act like he's bossed up since the deal went through. It's youtube.. all of them are workers which is why they censor certain words and shut down specific topics.
Math gotta lighten up, he don’t have to challenge everything Mecca say. Meccca was making good points, math would blow it off. You gotta stop b, we know it’s your show
Shout out to J hood for his maturity and growth! Hoffa keep up the good work and let what Mecca was kicking marinate cause he's on point with what he was saying!
I just find it bringing legends like Jhood on new platforms is amazing and at the same time hilarious . The fact that we’re all waiting for that one bomb ass question known to most hardcore hiphop on each guest that defined a controversial period in their careers and in J-Hood’s case his dragging his D-block chain across the concrete 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hell yeah almost every guest he brings on has that one shining moment of controversy that they dance around until it's time to ask. cormega-nas, styles-diddy, steele and tek-pac/biggie, guru-rocafella/jay z/dame dash, etc etc.
Mecca is right. I agree with him this is why I am buying a home the foundation 🏡 not just for me just in case I have lovely family going through tough times trying to figure out and need a quiet place to stay to continue their goals without stress of being homeless. Shit my Arab dudes do it. They lives woth aunty uncle and mother and father put their money together while running a busniess.
Why is that?lol.We have a different history than others do so, of course we have some handicaps.He is just thr typical complaining blk person.Anyone can faultfinding.It takes a strong person to look for a solution.
Math doesn't know how to critically think or listen. Even when Mecca is validating what math is saying but expounding on the topic Math wants push back without understanding what was said. Actively listen Nicca instead talking to be talking with a conflicting opinion!!!
#Thankyou 💜 for this discussion. The thing I heard alot this discussion should not be on front street, it should be behind closed doors. If everyone on this podcast made one #bigbusiness or #multiple #businesses #together & grow it #consistently. I'd would be #enlightened.
18:59 Not only have they had money for generations, the source of their wealth was under the Headright system, 50 ADDITIONAL acres transferred in title to the European American for every African "head" that they imported. It's not just that they've had wealth for generations, they've had wealth that was received by the European American based upon your enslaved African ancestors's lives.
Mecca missed the black community musts besides barbershop buffets the funeral parlor is all we only trust each other only. Soulfood and Jamaican food spots also. Mecca has a great points
Jamacians and africans are NON FBA meaning they have ulterior agendas than the Black americans here. if they united with us then fine but Black immigrants and their children have chose to separate themselves so they dont count.
Math always talks from a me perspective and not a whole just because some people you may know are in a good place don’t mean we all are like he forgot what he seen growing up or how he grew up just because u at a place in life and your friends don’t mean everyone just became well off I have some friends that’s doing good and some that are doing bad
Dam. Mecca went tf in on this episode. He spit facts the entire dam time. He always does but this time he really threw some serious haymakers. Math probably always had that mom or grandma to go back to when things got hard but there are ALOT of men I know who don’t. Women can ALMOST always find a way to bounce back because of things like low income housing, wiic, then to make some money they can literally sell pictures of their feet on only fans, get a cashier job at food Lion or something and be okay. If a woman has good looks they always have the option of finding a man with money, marrying him, and if she gets tired of him; divorce him and take half of his life earnings. It’s very hard for people as a whole; women and men right now. Men, however usually don’t get treated the same way as women if they are broke. If you are a broke man you are just the scum of the earth, you’re in the way, you’re a bum, etc. Nobody feels bad for you, you can get stuff like food stamps and Medicaid at least do that you can literally survive, but unless you have a girl, a grandma, a sibling, or someone that will let you sleep on the couch until you can save up a little money; YOU HAVE A VERY HARD PATH ahead of you. It’s possible to get on your feet and do amazing; I personally know some men that have done so. You know what almost all of them had to do or did? They joined the military, got three hots and a cot, got all those benefits that come with the military, and most of them did 20 years and retired around 40 years old and get a check for the rest of their life and then they really start doing things like opening up business and buying homes and flipping them etc. I don’t want to make it seem like men are just hopeless and we have nothing because again; most mfs in the hood have a granny that stay in the projects or a girl they can live with and actually can stack their bread but they would rather go get some illegal money, or be out here gang banging than to work a nine to five, or join the military, or work for the government, or become a merchant sea man, or go to trade school and get a trade like plumbing or hvac… THATS the main issue. It’s like J hood said, DISCIPLINE and taking accountability for their shid. A lot of mfs don’t want to be in the streets foreal, but that’s all they can see. That’s all they know that can work. They got their big brother in prison, they dad in prison or a grave, mom doing the best she can or a lot of times she not even around cause she wanted to go get high or whatever. There are some single mothers out there that are capable and that have raised good, strong, disciplined men but almost always there was a father figure; an uncle, a brother, a cousin, etc., that showed that boy how to walk like a man, talk like a man, defend himself, teach him about women from a man’s perspective, and just how to be a man in general. They had someone to teach them Discipline and a mother usually isn’t going to be able to really instill that discipline in a young man like a father or father figure is my point and when you look at a boy OR even a little girl without their father and how they turn out vs a kid who had their father (a good father) and how they turn out; it’s totally different. Naturally a young man will start looking at the streets for guidance. The dope man, gangs, shid.. even rappers and athletes on television. So yeah, imma have to go and say meeca was right. From the business talk and how we don’t stick together like other races when it comes to certain things and all that.. I love this type of conversation man.. this is what the youth needs.
Way he said lotta niggaz doin good an he hang round bosses without realizing reason he got that confidence is cuz the show poppin did he hang round bosses b4 the show started popping
That's not true. I don't spend money with anyone that does not treat me with respect. It doesn't matter who it is, but Black business owners don't take any accountability with offering efficient customer service
Do you have a phone? Utilities (water,gas,electricity), cable, or car insurance? If so you you indeed spend money with companies that have 0 respect for you 💯
I get exactly what bro Mecca was pointing out I live in CT and I know people that's EXACTLY like he was referring to and I'm one of those bros that didn't come home after 18 but like Math was saying I changed my circle and my mentality and I now make plenty
Math understands the power of words. The more we speak down on us the more we loose hope. If we highlight and speak on the positive it helps bring hope.
Nope. Mecca was on the money with that. Niggas need to hear things. Living under a rock or not speaking truths ain’t helping nobody. It took a minute but pops telling me a pair of J’s wasn’t gonna get me nowhere was what I need to hear at the time. Niggas need to hear things. Sometimes over and over.
The problem with what you're saying is that it suggests that Mecca wasn't speaking the unadulterated truth. Lets be clear, only through truth can you elevate.
Nah, you have to speak and confront the truth in order to affect change. That speaking things into the universe (mystical sht), does no good when you’re fked up.
understanding the words of power shouldn't make blind and lie to yourself or others about the truth. Guess you like to be lied to so you can feel good about yourself.
I live up in Westchester right bro the towns up here vote on whether they want a business opened up in the town. If it’s a business that brings in taxes to the community they all with it but if it’s a business that doesn’t really bring no money to the community they vote no and the store doesn’t open up.
I own an insurance brokerage in Arizona and Nevada, so if you drive something or live somewhere check me out. This is a great convo but a huge frustration for a lot of black owned business is the white ice being colder. At the end of the day, we still have to fight to own a piece of the infrastructure, not just commodities.
Mecca gotta point a lot of people don’t want to talk about our communities as a whole. Yeah it’s a lot of us getting educated and doing better but us as a whole need to do alot more to better our communities
Who was that dropping knowledge at 3:00?!? And why can't we see them? Math pls fix it to where we can still get camera shots of other people in the shop. It's awkward watching you guys stare at sumbody that we can't see
Mecca is talking facts and like the black community the rest of the people in the shop aren’t taking heed to what he’s saying. Everyone loves to scream I’m independent and I’m on my own after their parents tell them they have to be out after 18. But it’s a downfall for our community because we try to make it on our own when we don’t really don’t know how to then try to go back and are told no you have to tough it out when other communities welcome their own back with open arms and help them to time after time while the black community looks at you like you’re a complete failure. You have to learn from your mistakes and if you have nothing or nowhere to fall back on to. then most give up or just stay stagnant. I.e. pay check to pay check and never really accomplish their goals cause of the system they were raised in. We need to stop thinking that making someone fend for their own because society says they’re grown. Everyone needs help in certain areas and if going back home to reset is what it takes then so be it.
Amen!! These dudes acting like clowns and stunting growth by being ignorant like shii all good smh. Mecca couldn't even give the full breakdown because they wanted to interrupt with irrelevant nonsense. People like them is reasons why blacks aren't nor will not achieve success on a global scale, where there's many amongst us instead of a small number. Hard headed, too loud & proud, running their mouths but ain't saying nothing of sustenance. We don't be listening at all, when they could’ve absorbed the knowledge and built off of it giving solutions. He even told us to not listen to what Mecca was saying though, like what smh?!
They really didn't wanna acknowledge what mecc was saying because it was true.
I’m Just a hood dude doing food reviews on my UA-cam channel broskie
To much ego in the room. Mecca’s stance was challenging a lot of the ideas that most of men in our community grew up on. It’ll land with time
Amen....all facts!!
Math, Mec was correct at the end of the convo. Some people have that safety net where they can make mistakes and restart. Most of us don't have that.
Of course, because of our past..That should not be the focus,though The focus should be on the solution not the problem.
@@elliot2177 How can you figure out solutions without knowing the problems ??
@@DrixMaloneDFS We all know what the problems are.We do not to be stuc k on it like he is and making it the focus of the c onvo.That is my point.Put the energy towards solving it

I hear you.
Generational wealth is literally getting started with me for my family. The mindset!!!
Take heed to what Mecca is saying! Knowledge that can take our community further.
It’s an “in-between” convo because we’re in an “in-between”reality historically. So both convos need to be heard so the new reality can be understood and appreciated and done with context and reasoning. Definitely conversation that needs to continue to be had followed by action all of us will rise.
Math don’t start negating the struggle because I few ppl in a few places is doing “Ight”
He can't because he used to rob his own people so he should know better, even though he's a changed man.
@@zxcccccc1 yea I’m on the same boat he should know and remember the struggles and hard times that made him feel like he had to rob his own ppl
Exactly just because him & few people in his circle is doing good doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.

If i say people breath be stinking, it don't mean I know all. I wasn't speaking In absolutes.
Now if you want to go look at the data from the cdc and see our people divorce rate, abortion rate, homeless, wealth etc this all goes back to a mindset.
This is a very powerful conversation I hope this spreads to other households for discussion

#Thankyou 💜 for this discussion. The thing I heard alot this discussion should not be on front street, it should be behind closed doors. If everyone on this podcast made one #bigbusiness or #multiple #businesses #together & grow it #consistently. I'd would be #enlightened.
Put the camera on my man that’s talking in the background ☮️
Mecca be saying a lot of true shit and Math always rebuttal with bad info smh! He always use one example that he know as if its the majority.
WAKE UP MATH!!!
18:59 Not only have they had money for generations, the source of their wealth was under the Headright system, 50 ADDITIONAL acres transferred in title to the European American for every African "head" that they imported.
It's not just that they've had wealth for generations, they've had wealth that was received by the European American based upon your enslaved African ancestors's lives.
We don’t have a community and it starts with the mentality of a family. The community starts with a family and then it grows.
You hit the nail on the head. How are we going to come together when folks can barely keep their own family together. Got to start there first.
Mecca ain’t lyin, out at 18, can’t come back, or ain’t nowhere to go back too
Math much love. Mecca might be on point. Born and raised in Atl, GA. We show love, but nowhere like we should. As a business owner am guilty too. 😢
Mecca missed the black community musts besides barbershop buffets the funeral parlor is all we only trust each other only. Soulfood and Jamaican food spots also. Mecca has a great points
Jamacians and africans are NON FBA meaning they have ulterior agendas than the Black americans here.
if they united with us then fine but Black immigrants and their children have chose to separate themselves
so they dont count.
How we don't but still we discuss the issue with giving solutions, ACTION IS KEY.
Math always talking about blank that out , cut that out .. that shit never does get cut out😂
Its obvious that math is new to money
I been watching a lot of snippets from this show, and J-Hood has impressed me.
We did come up with Uber first, it was called a Hack in Philly. There was even a show about it on CBS in 2003.
Math must of forgot where he came from 🤦🏾♂️. How many years did u struggle before u finally figured it out a bit
Mecca made a good point about that safety net str8 facts 💯💯
🥺🫤🙁🫤😐 shy face when dude was taking over the interview Lmaoo
Math always talks from a me perspective and not a whole just because some people you may know are in a good place don’t mean we all are like he forgot what he seen growing up or how he grew up just because u at a place in life and your friends don’t mean everyone just became well off I have some friends that’s doing good and some that are doing bad
Exactly
What up Math yea man let your brother finished but always great discussion real talk. Shalom Peace
Somebody needs to quickly connect Math with a tutoring lesson from Dr. Claude Anderson
I say this all the time....we have to stop going to these stores.
Dam. Mecca went tf in on this episode. He spit facts the entire dam time. He always does but this time he really threw some serious haymakers. Math probably always had that mom or grandma to go back to when things got hard but there are ALOT of men I know who don’t. Women can ALMOST always find a way to bounce back because of things like low income housing, wiic, then to make some money they can literally sell pictures of their feet on only fans, get a cashier job at food Lion or something and be okay. If a woman has good looks they always have the option of finding a man with money, marrying him, and if she gets tired of him; divorce him and take half of his life earnings. It’s very hard for people as a whole; women and men right now. Men, however usually don’t get treated the same way as women if they are broke. If you are a broke man you are just the scum of the earth, you’re in the way, you’re a bum, etc. Nobody feels bad for you, you can get stuff like food stamps and Medicaid at least do that you can literally survive, but unless you have a girl, a grandma, a sibling, or someone that will let you sleep on the couch until you can save up a little money; YOU HAVE A VERY HARD PATH ahead of you. It’s possible to get on your feet and do amazing; I personally know some men that have done so. You know what almost all of them had to do or did? They joined the military, got three hots and a cot, got all those benefits that come with the military, and most of them did 20 years and retired around 40 years old and get a check for the rest of their life and then they really start doing things like opening up business and buying homes and flipping them etc. I don’t want to make it seem like men are just hopeless and we have nothing because again; most mfs in the hood have a granny that stay in the projects or a girl they can live with and actually can stack their bread but they would rather go get some illegal money, or be out here gang banging than to work a nine to five, or join the military, or work for the government, or become a merchant sea man, or go to trade school and get a trade like plumbing or hvac… THATS the main issue. It’s like J hood said, DISCIPLINE and taking accountability for their shid. A lot of mfs don’t want to be in the streets foreal, but that’s all they can see. That’s all they know that can work. They got their big brother in prison, they dad in prison or a grave, mom doing the best she can or a lot of times she not even around cause she wanted to go get high or whatever. There are some single mothers out there that are capable and that have raised good, strong, disciplined men but almost always there was a father figure; an uncle, a brother, a cousin, etc., that showed that boy how to walk like a man, talk like a man, defend himself, teach him about women from a man’s perspective, and just how to be a man in general. They had someone to teach them Discipline and a mother usually isn’t going to be able to really instill that discipline in a young man like a father or father figure is my point and when you look at a boy OR even a little girl without their father and how they turn out vs a kid who had their father (a good father) and how they turn out; it’s totally different. Naturally a young man will start looking at the streets for guidance. The dope man, gangs, shid.. even rappers and athletes on television. So yeah, imma have to go and say meeca was right. From the business talk and how we don’t stick together like other races when it comes to certain things and all that.. I love this type of conversation man.. this is what the youth needs.
Nigga you wrote a victim poem , your a man go and get yours lol life is what you make it
Mecca was on point with his comments. To progress. A person must uncondition their perception n thought process.
Shyheim always been one of my favorites!!!
Way he said lotta niggaz doin good an he hang round bosses without realizing reason he got that confidence is cuz the show poppin did he hang round bosses b4 the show started popping
Finding a solution to this is major!! We already know the problems. Answer: SOLUTION,DISCIPLINE, UNITY AND MOVEMENT!! “Just do it”
ITS GOOD TO SEE SHYHEIM ON MATH HOFFA PLATFORM AND JHOOD, PEACE TO ONE OF ONE OF THE LEGENDARY EMCEE SHYHEIM PEACE TO HIP-HOP
That's not true. I don't spend money with anyone that does not treat me with respect. It doesn't matter who it is, but Black business owners don't take any accountability with offering efficient customer service
The food you are buying is own buy the people who disrespects you regularly
I'm the same way
@@LennyBee83 don't try make no excuses for buying that shit
The lights ,Gas , cable are White owned.
Do you have a phone? Utilities (water,gas,electricity), cable, or car insurance? If so you you indeed spend money with companies that have 0 respect for you 💯
Hoff I like bro with the dreads he speaks his knowledge but sometimes it's like huh what u on lol
I mess with this podcast hard!!
I agree the streets are dry.
I get exactly what bro Mecca was pointing out I live in CT and I know people that's EXACTLY like he was referring to and I'm one of those bros that didn't come home after 18 but like Math was saying I changed my circle and my mentality and I now make plenty
This is the best snippet hands down
Math understands the power of words. The more we speak down on us the more we loose hope. If we highlight and speak on the positive it helps bring hope.
Nope. Mecca was on the money with that. Niggas need to hear things. Living under a rock or not speaking truths ain’t helping nobody. It took a minute but pops telling me a pair of J’s wasn’t gonna get me nowhere was what I need to hear at the time. Niggas need to hear things. Sometimes over and over.
Na that wasn’t it, some of us can’t see past our own nose
The problem with what you're saying is that it suggests that Mecca wasn't speaking the unadulterated truth.
Lets be clear, only through truth can you elevate.
Nah, you have to speak and confront the truth in order to affect change. That speaking things into the universe (mystical sht), does no good when you’re fked up.
understanding the words of power shouldn't make blind and lie to yourself or others about the truth. Guess you like to be lied to so you can feel good about yourself.
if dudes aren't mic'd up, tell them SHUT UP!!!! play the bench and listen like the rest of us
Great conversation
Mecca talking that talk! 💯
We create the trend and movements! We create more wealth than we receive 🤦🏾♂️
Black-owned, but no Black Economic system. The last standing one was the Black Church.
Does Mecca have another podcast where I can hear him uninterrupted? Because he was speaking real facts before the entire shop shouted him down.
I get it.... Sometimes you may not even have a circle to change.
I live up in Westchester right bro the towns up here vote on whether they want a business opened up in the town. If it’s a business that brings in taxes to the community they all with it but if it’s a business that doesn’t really bring no money to the community they vote no and the store doesn’t open up.
Yo my big cuz always gotta put his major keys and 2 Cents$! in🤣🤣 lmao 💯 Peace God!
I own an insurance brokerage in Arizona and Nevada, so if you drive something or live somewhere check me out.
This is a great convo but a huge frustration for a lot of black owned business is the white ice being colder.
At the end of the day, we still have to fight to own a piece of the infrastructure, not just commodities.
MY MAN WIT THE DURAG BE FRIED🤣🤣
Mentality Accountability & Discipline MAD
Math Always trying to get somebody to cut apart out. The best footage is the raw and uncut
Hood right I sale items on line for 3 years. Not one of my family or friends ever brought anything from me...smh
Fellas let me tell you something....I've been shopping at jewish owned stores, white owned etc...NONE of them give back to the community.
Mecca with a lot of facts💯👌🏿
Math was definitely trippin’, especially towards the end of this clip. We don’t have a safety net.
I Agree with Mecca 💯 Percent
Mecca gotta point a lot of people don’t want to talk about our communities as a whole. Yeah it’s a lot of us getting educated and doing better but us as a whole need to do alot more to better our communities
The new money Math is makin has him a bit out of touch wit the overall reality of the wealth n property of our ppl throughout America.
Who was that dropping knowledge at 3:00?!? And why can't we see them? Math pls fix it to where we can still get camera shots of other people in the shop. It's awkward watching you guys stare at sumbody that we can't see
