It’s easy to forget these guys put the “gangster” in gangster rap.
Facts though; I still hear stories about the Actual BMF to this very day. I don’t know how much I buy “Kanye was really out here tryna save Taylor” but I can absolutely buy “Combs was the clean-up guy for the Black Capitalist elite”; especially where it intersected with those supposed paragons-of-excellence’s missteps w/rt Aaliyah for example. I keep thinking about how the Nation of Islam has the Fruit of Islam or whatever that group is called that basically serves as the forceful arm-- wouldn’t it stand to reason that the Boulé operate the exact same way?
Fruits of Islam, ye (I think they’re still active and that’s allowed because the NoI went to shit lmao). Cleaners and fixers have been around for as long as there have been people with power. That’s what Epstein’s job was. You don’t get to be a billionaire like Jay Z and Beyoncé without being into some unethical shit. There’s no such thing as an ethical billionaire.
