I’d take emptiness over being broke, or being stuck in the hood with dumb niggas anyday. Once your broke, your gonna be lonely anyway, w/o the money.
^ you make a good point, and thats the opposite end of the spectrum. But isnt there a happy medium where you could have and balance both?

that nightline interview with 50, gave the impression duke is mad lonely… I think the interviewer hit on a weak spot… Huge Mansion 18 bedrooms, and no pitter patter of little feet runnng about.
Is that the trade off for pursuing wealth, and being so staunch about it?
Like is all that ambition really worth it, if you can’t enjoy it with a family? Granted theirs no shortage of bad bitches willing to do whatever to please you, but after you done with the hoe, that feeling of emptiness is >

the guy is worth like over 200 million and isn’t even happy with his life. thats fucked.

Living rich, fucking broads with no real relationships is still > living broke in the hood hoping you wont get shot/arrested today
But still 50 life > camel
Atleast until the camel has kids. Cause all that money with no lineage is worthless.

^Yeah it is, and that is what most of us strive for, not everyone wants to be rich, nobody wants to be poor, the average american wants finnacial security, and imo that’s the happy medium (n).

It’s got to. I think getting shot like he did has alot to do with that. Can you imagine the nitemares? Even with all he’s accumulated, that day has to haunt him, even if it is arguably what enabled his career to ascend to the next level. Being around people on a consistent basis probably freaks him out.
November 6th, 2009 at 9:40 am
anybody who attends the NAHRIGHT BBQ SUMMIT. needs friends, real friends and a real girlfriend. Because you have no social life. SMH at using the internet to have a surrogate social life.
Sad ass niggas. Depressed ass niggas. Ol “I have no friends. No life“ ass niggas. Cry and weep in your sleep. Kill ya self and take ya family with you. You pathetic piece of shit.
Trying to make friends off nahright because you have no friends. You disgust me.
ANYBODY WHO GOES THERE IS A LAME, SQUARE, HERB, HOMO, FAGGOT, HERMAFRODITE, BITCH MADE NIGGA.
GO OUTSIDE AND MAKE FRIENDS. GO GET A GIRL.
ESKAY IS A LAME. BECAUSE HE IS 35 and still doing this shit.
Landlord will probably go because he can’t get girls to throw ass at him. So he gonna try to pull up on niggas at nahright. the 6 niggas that show up. the 6 lame ass niggas herbs that show up.

The american dream
Nice job, wife, 2 kids, front yard, white picket fence, family pet.
It’s not too many famous rich mofo’s living that life we imagine for them, it’s usually when there time is coming to a end where there social life behind the scenes are beginning.
Jay-Z isnt coming home to beyonce every night, they prolly see each other once a month, and that’s prolly only at listening parties, and red carpets. I doubt they even live together and there married
CS88 said it the best, when you are on your grind, you have no time for a social life really, and people that are so sucessful, they got it from being busy with there work. There workaholics and happy with reaping the benifits of there hard work.

none of you guys are rich. you just going by what you see on tv.
fucking lames. most of you make 60 or 50k a year at the most. You went to college for 4 or 5 years to make that. Some of niggas went 6 years to a community college.
Talking about being rich and loney or broke and having friends.
50 Cent is good. He’s rich and your not.
November 6th, 2009 at 9:48 am

50 cent is good…he doing good…he fuck plenty bitches and is worth half a billion..
you married some hood rolla…and had kids with her…and love her…bought her a car, house and clothes…and you in debt…and owe money…
fucking lame…

^
the interview made me realize how ridiculous his music is. Maybe dude would be happy if he made music that was true to his reality.
But lying that much on record, getting inspired by some shit you did/saw/lived like 15-20 years ago?!?! that shit would depress anyone.
November 6th, 2009 at 9:49 am
From the outside looking in
Puffy’s social life > Jay-Z > 50
Atleast Jay has his cousin Ty Ty to do his laundry on some malik & tee tee shit from the TV show “the game”
I doubt 50 even keeps in contact with any of his kinfolk
November 6th, 2009 at 9:50 am
if a nigga dont want to go to war just leave a nigga alone. we have alot of people in this country willing to fight for this country. me and the guy who shoot up the FT yesterday are just different from them. i remember niggas trying to recrut me in high school calling the crib every night at 6 nigga was worst than bill collectors.

I’m gone until some sensible chat that doesn’t revolve around JayZ is popn. Like seriously, speculating into how another man is living or fucking or anything beyond is a bit much now.

True. But that’s ill. Cause as bad as Beyonce is, I’m sure, like all women, you’d get tired of seeing her all the time. This way, it never gets old, he can always look forward to smashing her until they actually have to live together on a regular basis.
November 6th, 2009 at 9:53 am
niggas on here aint even worth an ounce…
niggas aint even worth a fucking 401K….niggas is not even worth a e-trade investment..

the marragies that work out the best are the ones where both the wife and the husbands having demanding jobs. its human nature to get tired of somebody you see everyday. so if u both get home at 7/8 got to sleep at 11 wake up at 6 thats ideal. jay-z and b will work cause they hardly see each other

You can do the same shit to every women you meet, only difference is, it’s not the same person
