Hood Rich?

Saturday, July 25, 2009 , Posted by IDKShit at 22:23

Do you make it rain in the club;
Got a dope chain;

Riding on Dubs or better;

And still live at yo mommas crib?

If you answered yes to any of these questions; you my friend is Hood Rich!!



Today a fellow blogger asked " Why do some black people fail in things they attempt to do?". Her asking this question brought a range of thoughts to my head looking for a viable answer. Reasons and circumstances are quite possibly endless, but instead of breaking down the reasons for the ones that actually work hard and strive for positive outcomes. I'd rather give my opinion on those that rather chose to repress themselves from succeeding. My Definition of "hood rich" ~ One who relinquishes all/most their income with materialistic items and loyalty to the "brand name" while giving a distasteful appearance of wealthiness

Quite Simply..

Turn on the TV on to BET right now, over the course of a hour count how much BS they're trying to sell you; Not the commercials. I'm talking bout the same dumb ass videos you watch every week. The repeat imagery Cars, Sexy Models, Jewelry, Big House, Drugs, Money, Shopping Sprees, and so forth, played over, and over, and over again. Did anywhere in between those videos did they inform you how to obtain any of the listed above items? Besides rapping, drug dealing, stripping or pimping?

Didn't think so.

This is where I think shit starts getting fucked up. Now you a have an audience of people that are seeing these things but have no proper road map for obtaining the things we cram in their faces on a daily basis. They start to begin to think they gotta have these things to be seen as successful. Settling for the bootlegs and knockoffs or spending their bottom dollar to get the "real shit", like the rent's due but you have to have those Gucci shades so you can hit the club tonight. Put that money in the bank and stop "Making it Rain" Pacman

"Nigga Please"

Throwback!!

    i never understood why there's so much hype around that lifestyle anyway.... people have become so consumed with putting up this front. why do people throw hundreds of dollars in the club? just to show off how much they have?.... to say that i'm so wealthy, this $100 in $1 bills doesn't mean a thing to me.... it's ridiculous...
