I used to watch hours of EYL , then they started bringing in a bunch of celebrity guest who financial input I do not care for at all, I don’t care what Jim Jones has to say about crypto, (nor do I care for crypto), guest who do not have good reputations with their customers, now Rashard walk around dressed like he from Star island in Miami, with a questionable Beijing beard. I think I’m a move on from them.
I completely agree, and I’m in the same boat. I used to watch every single episode but now I drop in every few weeks or so for the exact things you mentioned.
I’ve battled with myself to give them grace and let them live out their dream. But for me it’s HARD for them to be so unabashedly capitalist. They’re completely agnostic about investing in unethical companies, bigging up unethical people, shit they even let quearionable guests come on the show and shill snake oil. They’ve let scammers like Jay Morrison and niggas like Him300 give illegal advice.
Black Americans always default to “But white people do it too!!!” when it comes to calling out Black scammers, or even criminals in general (Talk about R. Kelly and Bill Cosby with Black people and they’ll say “what about Harvey Weinstein?” eventually).
Allowing the worst white people to be our barometer for what’s acceptable is gross, and it should be beneath us.
But ultimately, this is America. The only thing that matters to Americans is money. Poor people are treated like shit, exploited, and are at risk of dying earlier. The United States has no soul outside of Black people and the indigenous, and neither one of us are in control. Since we cannot change the rules of the game, we have no choice but to play.
I think there’s a decent amount about the EYL niggas that’s seeming a little unsavory. But I can’t fully shit on them because, ethics aside, financial literacy is a survival tactic in 2021 America. This country will absolutely leave you behind.
I’d recommended Mark Monroe. He’s worth a follow.

Basketball is way more fun with the warriors at full strength but I can’t fully enjoy the beauty of their success because niggas that know very little about basketball (like yourself) just be talking reckless and posting memes about it that demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the game. Sometimes I be looking at your posts like “this nigga just sees a positive result in the box score but can’t hold a real hoop convo. He’s limited to ‘Steph and Klay the greatest shooters ever and we got the best record’”. You a casual my nigga, pipe down.
And yet, you long for Daddy’s attention and response by sending me a direct message?
Have you begun unpacking why that is?

HBO MAX is dope, but to say it’s better than Netflix is cap. It’s a clear #2 behind Netflix in the field of streaming apps.
The app itself is just okay, the UI is sometimes frustrating, the navigation and discovery tools are meh. It’s also buggy occasionally (subtitles not working, or not in sync).
Netflix is head and shoulders above everyone, especially in terms of the app quality and volume of good content.
I do recommend hbo max though.
No. My life has been incredibly chaotic this year. I’m not able to do the sticker thing right now.

“True Story” with Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes on Netflix is good. The ending requires you to suspend disbelief. But I didn’t take it too seriously.
The Music Box series on HBO. So far they episodes on Woodstock 99, Jagged Little Pill and DMX. I haven’t watched the X episode yet.
“Your Honor” with Brian Cranston on Showtime is good.
“South Side” on HBO MAX is a quirky funny black show
“The Harder They Fall” on Netflix was a fun movie
“Oats Studios” on Netflix (also on YouTube) is worth a quick binge watch. It’s weird Black Mirror type shit.
That’s too broad of a question and requires generalizing a topic that’s really circumstantial.
But men cheat for the same reason women do. Lack of emotional maturity, selfishness, poor communication and expectations, our “instant gratification” culture. It’s all a perfect storm.

Yeah some boxing elitists think that way, but I’m not one of them.
The knock against Tyson is that his most impressive wins came against “inferior” competition and he was soundly defeated by Holyfield and Lewis.
My Opinion: That’s true, but to NOT consider how his life outside of the ring affected his career and in ring decline is kinda tone deaf.
I don’t know if you saw the star wars prequels showing how they took Anakin under their wing to make him a jedi, but he was too old and always at risk to stray off the path because of how he grew up in poverty and his mom dying.
Mike Tyson was kind of like that. He had the gift but also a lot of destructive demons.
Lennox Lewis and Holyfield never beat the best version of Tyson. That’s not their fault. But it is what it is.
Tyson is definitely top 20 all time IMO

I listen to ALOT of music, I know we are not entitled to know what the artist are up to outside of their work, but i forget music is a business and being sold to me until it comes to artist from Like TDE (Kendrick, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock) Frank Ocean. Like here a post of a painting I did, or a car I’m rebuilding. I don’t hear from a artist for over four/five plus years then boom but this Merch, your dates, book, album then boom disappear again. Atleast Jay z with give you his playlist of the year, Elliot Wilson/Bdott interview, Halloween costumes, a couple tweets of artist he was listening to for the year, I don’t know it just feels so transactional
I get it.
But some artists just want to share art and make a living and have no desire to let the public into their life. And if we’re bring honest, society is fucking crazy right now. I’d want to keep my distance too.
