“None of my friends speak.  We’re all trying to win……Nine to five is the way to survive, but I aint trying to survive. I’m trying to live it to the limit and love it alot..”

Jay-Z

One time I was sitting in Atlanta’s Hot 107.9’s recording booth doing a promo for this Greek Party and J.Nicks said “The rap game is just like the drug game.”  I laughed.  Really loud.  That wasn’t the first time I heard that but it just doesn’t make sense to me given his limited success.  The only person I can hear that from and believe it is Jay.  The line I posted up there is from his first album from the song that shares it’s title with this post.  

When it comes to politics and business, everyone wants to win.  No matter if it’s them, their company or their team.  No one wants to give away too much of their strategy or business plan.  It’s a key to business, therefore keep your mouth shut.  However, you still need your “friends” to use their strengths in your advantage.  The selfless friend offers everyone an equal share and becomes completely transparent when needed.  So drug game= rap game = big business.  Maybe, maybe drug dealers are some of the smartest people in the world.  They take lots of risk (their life, their loved ones), but maybe they just don’t like to pay taxes.  Al Capone ass men.
