Rich Porter is the last nigga anyone should be looking up to or drawing inspiration from. There aint nothing funny or entertaining about the shit that went down as a result of his drug dealing in Harlem. I never had any respect for Jim Jones but this is an all time low even for him. A lotta hearts are still bleeding over the trail of blood left behind by the Rich Porter, Alpo, & AZ days of Harlem. Jim needs to grow up and stop trying to re-hash that fucked up time in NYC history.
Dont get it twisted Rich didnt leave no fucking blood trail its been 20 years and motherfuckers are still killing themselves. Rich was on survival and the drug game was right in his face. So he sacrificed his life and trust he didnt die in vain. Jim has a new approach just hope ignorant motherfuckers can comprehend because hes dealing with weak minds and using Rich Porter in a creative way would be wise. Not like AZ or Alpo trying to make a dime by underminding the weak with their fucked up lies. Hopefully this will be the last attempt and maybe Jimmy can give motherfuckers the reason for using the streets its not just to fuck bitches, buy cars, and dress fly its to build a bridge so your people can live. Rich name is Richard not nigga, Nigga
That NIGGA Rich was a cancer to his environment. There are families, including his, that are still mourning the losses & chaos that his choices caused. So the blood trail runs much longer and deeper than 20 yrs homie. As for Jim Jones, there are other creative ways for him to get his hustla message accross without bringing up that NIGGA Rich Porter. And I call him NIGGA because dude don’t deserve my respect to be called anything else.
Like Jones said there was a rich porter in every neighborhood. Right or wrong theres a kid in every hood trying to be the next boss. I know growing up I was. You have to remember rich was a guy he looked up to during his era. Biggie said it best 15 years ago you either slanging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot. And personally my jump shot wasn’t shit.
Yea there was a Rich in every neighborhood, but how many of them had a happy ending? Times are different now and more opportunities are vailable. We’re still in struggle but we’re in a much better place now than we were in the 80′s. With all the shit that black people went through in the crack era everyone should be happy its gone and never looking back. The last thing we need is for some story telling rapper to mistakenly inspire a new generation of Rich Porters. I lived through those times and it wasn’t nothing hot about the shit them niggas did to become bosses.
