T.I., Killer Mike, and David Banner Break Down the Power of Hood Economics | Complex Current

Killer Mike joins friends Clifford “T.I.” Harris and David Banner for an honest conversation on the economic issues facing neighborhoods of color. The rappers-turned-businessmen share their personal perspective on the importance of buying back, rebuilding, and transforming those communities for the better. In the spirit of giving back, they also discuss the value in teaching kids how to better themselves, and the benefits of working a legitimate job instead of hustling.
The Complex Current miniseries welcomes the most influential minds in fashion, art, music, sneakers and beyond in a series of lively panel discussions from our inaugural ComplexCon Chicago. We discuss the topics most relevant to today's youth in an effort to examine a deeper understanding of each other, our culture, and the passions that inspire us.

Ocra Joe it’s a metaphor, I’ve read the entire bible, and the New Testament several times. I know why Jesus went to the cross.

If you’re humble, you’ll get hurt a lot. “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

I think we've had enough rappers, athletes and entertainers as our spokesperson especially when we didn't elect, ordain or choose them by vote. We need people to STOP TALKING and START DOING. This conversation was about how these men help each other make more money and not about how to fix a community. If someone builds me a house that doesn't teach me anything but showing me how to build my own will. We have enough preachers hyping people up and literally doing nothing for them in ALL BLACK CHURCHES so a weekly series beyond a church would turn into hypothetically change with no person in place to measure the outcome. We need more black entrepreneurs and less blacks looking for jobs. Also @TheSmith Family they held back on a ton of information because this was a conversation about their growth, their prosperity and lining their pockets so there was no need for them to add more (Being Sarcastic)

Mike you need more of this. You need to do more content like this Bruh. Loved this.

Banner's "Most Black people don't like being Black" made me 👏👏👏👏👏 because I believe this is the root of why Black people can't unite to fight for progressive causes. The self haters are so busy working up ways to be accepted by the opportunistic oppressive race. This was so insightful and needs to continue. Kudos to these 3 visionaries...👍👍👍👍

Will Smith said the same thing and I’m paraphrasing here he said just decide fully commit to it there is no Plan B only plan a and when you fully commit and decide to do what it is you want to do that the universe will get out of your way. “ I’m listening

Humm... interesting

[@BlackEagleUSA]

It's all good to hear these men talk but we are dealing with a generation that has to get the capital that they have WITHOUT selling drugs and destroying the community and making music glorifying it at the same time.

[@maliksy7127]

Right on

[@davronshumpert1966]

@Mr. Marshall Actaully they are what is needed. See but they need to tell the youth no more rapping about killing and selling dope. Speak.of strengthing ones mind and unite. See our voice is heard. But reality is it not the right leadership. Its the community as well the parents and peers. Due to job streaking areas. We are deprived. We do not uplift without degrading. This is the black community. What I mean we may teach our youth to do right yet teach them to do wrong. The wrong is speaking on street stuff. I was told by another black person you need protection in these streets. If your not in a gang you have know protection. This what is taught consciously and unconsciously through the black experience. Through this protection you sell dope, is more like to be kill by your own and cops. Increase the the chance of being included in police brutality when its already high. On the other hand it preaches unite of coming together but it also separates brother, sisters, fathers, families in general due to interactions with the gangs.You are able to provide for family by selling dope etc. Don't get me wrong you don't need to be in a gang to sell dope. But doing it can lead to everything above just spoken on. Not all black people is of the streets. Some are bullied talk about pick on ashamed, if they do not follow the norm of their community. Basically saying they act white etc. If they try to uplift their community they are killed by others. Either white racist cop involved and black person or Just another street cat thinking he threatening his way of lift. In which he is only trying to help him. Truth be told black culture and community don't know what unite is without commenting acts of violence or hate.
