      Stringer had the right idea, but he needed Avon’s guidance. Stringer was trying to get too big with dirty money, and Avon knew his lane. They should have maybe got some box trucks and ran a nightclub or record label. Downtown condos was out of their league, and Avon knew this, but they should have retired.

    I understand why String did what he did just like i understand why Ghost (Power) did what he did.
    Both envisioned a life past the drug game. They wanted to turn their potential into a legit and fruitful business. To leave the shadows in order to exist in broad daylight. No more cold nights, no more police, no more bodies, no more deadly rivalries. Just enjoy the millionaire lifestyle while being healthy, youthful, but more importantly, free.
    Unfortunately both were surrounded by crippling adversary pressures in the form of people they had genuine love for. This is a tragedy.
    That let you know there are some ties we absolutely have to cut in order to progress and make it to the next chapter of our lives. That chapter were all the ground work is now paying off. A new situation, a new bracket, new plans with similar minded people.
    Identify who is slowing you down right now, and put an end to that relationship, no explanation needed, just get away.

I'm and whomever we is. Not pining over no other group. I'm pointing out a fact about my group is great. Yet ain't figured out and don't seem to be trying to figure out. How important these types of things are. Another group actually has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. Unless one on PURPOSE wants to focus on the simple minded aspect of words used to make a point. I don't own a Black focused grocery store. I've never been to one. I don't know nobody that has one. I don't know nobody that can tell me where one is in my city. But I know where a Asian focused store is. And a Russian one is, and a Korean one is. I know where one is that sales caviar and mayonnaise cakes and that store doesn't have a single item that is traditional soul food. The other groups and or them having stores specifically for them isn't the point. The point is. My people. That would include me. Have absolutely nothing we developed from scratch for us by us with us in mind and controlled by us and we market it directly at us and accept outsiders currency for additional profit. If it doesn't make sense don't worry about it. I know certain members of our group don't like reading more than one or two lines. But like pointing out the simplest things

A lot of the actors in the show are directly of the life they are showing including addicts, young gangsters, police administrators, a real life omar and one former mayor.
