Classiqueeven aside from that, delaying gratification goes a long way. i'm lucky in my public school system they taught up about credit and investing and taxes. if you just give yourself a couple years in your late teens and early 20's to really give yourself that solid base financially it'll set you up for life. i didn't have a single pair of jordans in college but i got nearly an 800 credit score working at the mall. part of why i fw the album so much, people always say they don't want the financial literacy raps but they need to hear it from somebody
That’s a great point man. Good s*** on the credit score too. You’re so right about seeing the longterm. You don’t have to look like money when you broke to feel good about yourself.

Jun 23, 2022I don’t how you manage to look at every album ever and figure that 4:44 is the “one”carried by production

Z 326Life Is Good by Nas is better anyways
as a nas fan i prefer 4:44 but i believe Vol1/RD/Blueprint/Black arent on the same level as Illmatic too
