Vlad Breaks Down to TK Kirkland How Jay-Z Sold 92 Kilos of Cocaine for Only a 6% Profit (Part 20)

Yea black people age differently than white people because of the melanin in their skin. The more melanin the less the skin wrinkles and more resilient it is. Plus they have never had any sun damage or anything like that. Not that he's not taking care of himself I'm sure he will.

[@whoami148]

When you're the distributor, the profit from one brick alone is not much at all, $1,000. But, the distributor is getting rid of 500-1000+ bricks in a short period of time. You're not breaking these bricks down and bagging them up. You're getting rid of them as is and youre only making like 5-7 big drops. It's the street level dudes that do all the work. They make more money but it's slower and a higher risk cause you're on the street 24/7 with the stick up kids and 5-0. It's slower because you're always in debt to the plug unless you're smart and save up.

This a whole diff era, everything ppl basing they knowledge of is off other rap songs when ppl rapped about bricks n trap music. For instance out here in the D, traps n the late 90s early 2000s, traps was called “ spots” n simply “ crack houses” u sat n the spot by urself u was holding down the fort” trap music changed the whole lango of drug dealing, forgetting most of that music was southern based and alot of the terms was from Atlanta, and Texas n shit.

I disagree. It's not as simple as a 6% profit margin. The percentage sucks but the profits compound because the prices drops with weight. Also time value must be applied. How long did it take to move the 90 bricks on average? If it was a few hours or one transaction that would equate that 6% to 90k per hour or 45k for 2 hours etc. The time value of the 6% and the total amount important. Rapper don't get 6 points or 6% per album most of the time. Don't let the small percentage make you overlook the true value of the exchange .

Yeah you know nothing of selling drugs. A brick, in that era, for him and just someone else? He'd get rid of it in a week, maybe....Freeway goes in about it in several interviews, he was at most making 200-300k in one day, but that was with his crew of 40 dudes, himself included. Jay and some unkown were not getting rid of a brick anytime soon. Especially given the location. Let along the fact that he never had 92 bricks, no one would front you 92 bricks, let alone let you buy that many. Cartel members and movers of cartels, aren't letting you walk away with 92 bricks even if you have 1.6 million, which Jay obviously didn't have. Lets say he did, somehow, the connect liked his cadence and just in his overall person, and loaned* him 92 bricks...do you know the hell that would come down on that entire block if he actually did lose it? The cartel has killed for less. So first you want me to believe that someone Jay and some random got fronted 92 bricks, then that he lost it? C'mon son, be smarter, he's a poet selling fantasies.

When you reach that level in the game it’s not about margin, it’s about volume. If you have the network to get 92 bricks on face, you have a network in place to get them off quickly, albeit at a very thin margin…BUT, you’re probably making 92k 3-4X per month, $3.3M per year on the low end…still not worth, but you get the point.

It's really about the effort it took to get some of the bricks sold. Sometimes it be little to none in terms of the energy you exerting, through conversations and covert movements. If you a dealer, you give it to pushers. You take that same 6% and invest in other things which I imagined what Jay did, and he is now a billionaire 🤷🏽‍♂️ In rare cases, the risk makes sense, especially if you are product of your environment. Not condoning by the way, but it is what it is.

I never dealt drugs in my life but i assume each brick is getting cut so the profit margins must surely increase beyond 6%. Plus, demand is high and if you move large quantities through a solid network you must make crazy profits. But what do I know eh 🤷

[@young-bey2573]

You are missing the point! No disrespect let me try to re-explain. If you have 92 bricks the largest Network and the strongest team. It don’t matter if when you go sell the first brick of the 92 and you are only making $1000 or $2000 off of that one brick it’s still a 6% profit. And they arrest you after selling one brick you made 6% profit and didn’t even get a chance to see no money. The risk of you selling all 92 is always there was not a chance of making profit. You need to be getting 100% of your money doubling your investment. That’s why you have successful people in Wall Street. In Wall Street they say you buy low and sell high you always want your profit margin to supersede your investment. If you go to school and learn economics you will learn this. That’s FACTS!!

Dude I flipped coke on and off for 2 years when I was 19…no way in hell anyone would get into the game selling weight only making a 6% profit 😂😂. That’s less than working with weed or adderall. People selling white are making a return of at least 2-3x their investment every re-up. Or else what’s the point? It’s not even worth it…when you’re dealing with coke money, money comes so quick it’s like phony money.if I’m getting an ounce for 800 I’m seeing 2400 back after I cut it. If you move it quick, it can be less % wise but you’re doing it over and over in one shot. Over a week it would be quick and easy and you’re making a lot more, doing less work than breaking it down yourself. 6% FOH what does vlad know ain’t nobody risking these felonies for 6% 😂

When I was dealing, I couldn't wrap my head around selling massive bulk for small margins. I wouldn't use runners, 1 because i didn't trust anyone. If they get caught up, they will snitch. And 2, if you do the deal yourself. You're like 3x your money on the deal (depends on the drug). It did become like a full time job tho but the money was good. But ultimately I couldn't find anyone who wanted to buy bulk off me. Also scared of getting robbed. Didn't have a strap.

Rule 1, never sell where you lay your head . Rule. 2 don't bring any extra money or any extra product if you're buying 100 bring 100 if you're selling a 100 bring 100. Rule 3 never sell to people you don't know especially white people, and if you do sell to someone new ask them are they law enforcement or affiliated with law enforcement that keeps you away from entrapment.

Dude when you’re actually touching coke money it feels like there’s a glitch in the matrix and money is actually phony. You get used to making thousands of dollars for an hour or two of bagging up. It’s not really worth the risk and paranoia but it really isn’t hard to make an obscene amount of profit in a very short time frame. Money isn’t real when you’re moving white. You start getting paranoid cuz you to think of ways to hide the racks your pulling in. That’s the real addiction.
