Ten “Crack/Business” Commandments by Notorious B.I.G.


Letter from the dead to entrepreneurs and business minded fellas.
Ten “Crack/Business” Commandments by Notorious B.I.G.

Focus on the translation and not the original lyrics. Not promoting drugs, violence or lewd words but seeing and extracting positive vibes out of negativity to better humanity.

- Rule Number Uno “Never let no one know how much dough you hold cause you know the cheddar breed jealousy 'specially If that man fucked up”- It’s not smart to let others know how well you are doing, people do get jealous especially when they are not doing well for themselves
- Numero Due “Never let them know your next move, don't you know Bad Boys move in silence and violence? Take it from your highness” - Keep your plan to yourself, discussing with others is asking them to derail you and possibly harm you

- Numero Tre “Never trust no-bo-dy
Your moms'll set that ass up” - Trust nobody, not even your mother


- Numero Quattro - “I know you heard this before
never get high on your own supply” - Business is business, don’t get too comfortable but get paid. Never mix business with pleasure

- Numero Cinque - “Never sell no crack where you rest at, I don't care if they want a ounce, tell 'em bounce” - Wherever you work or live is your sanctuary, respect it and find a balance

- Numero Sei - “That goddamn credit? Dead it,
you think a crackhead paying you back, shit forget it” - In business, never sell on credit but strictly cash only/payment for every service


- Numero Sette - “This rule is so underrated,
keep your family and business completely separated, money and blood don't mix” - This is self-explanatory

- Numero Otto - “Never keep no weight on you” - In whatever business you are in, being smart and thinking one step ahead is a necessity
- Numero Nove - “shoulda been Number 1 to me,If you ain't gettin' bagged stay the fuck from police, If niggas think you snitchin' they ain't trying to listen, they be sittin' in your kitchen, waiting to start hittin” You can’t have your loyalty in doubt. You are either in our out, there is no middle ground. Loyalty is key in business
- “If you ain't got the clientele, say "hell no!" - You will focus on building a fan base, followers or database before introducing your product, then smile to the bank
The above rules are like proverbs, not to be understood word for word but for the few with the ability to think and dissect words

Anger Breeds Nothing But War And Hatred.

         ANGER = DANGER They say even the nicest people have their limit. It's alright to get angry now and then but when your anger slips into the next day to the point of wishing your fellow human misfortune then that's dangerous. There is only one letter missing from both the word "anger" and "danger ". It takes only one action or word to cross from one to the other. That action or word could either ruin your day or someone else's day if not life! Nothing good or positive can ever come out of anger - you could lose a friend, family or a loyal lover as a result of your temper. Identify it's an issue and work on it. An African adage says " The moment a mad person realizes he is mad then he is no longer mad".  Most of us would be better as a person and in extension, a better use for the society but this act of anger is destroying us bit by bit without realizing that fact until we are at that point of no return. ...

The Difference - The Respect and the Individuality.

The Difference - The Respect and the Individuality. The moment you are in assumption that another person should understand you and agree with whatever you say or think then there is bound to be issues - either instantly or at a later date. For us as humans to do better, it is necessary to be challenged if not we are built to be at standstill in our comfort zone without any aspiration to step out and embrace change. Individuality is present in all beings at both physical and spiritual levels.  The individuality of a being is in three stages. The part that’s visible to all – The Physical appearance, the second stage being the Ego, Mind, and Intelligence. The third stage is the Spiritual Identity of the soul – a soul is unique and individual to each person. If you know someone physically and not their state of mind or spirituality then you only know what they portray to you and not who they are. We are all guilty of this as we ignore that the individual uniqueness of...
