WELL THATS IT. A COSIGN FROM YDK IS LIKE A HANDWRITTEN G-PASS FROM MALCOM X

THIS STORIES THE REAL DEAL FOLKS. NOTHIN TO SEE HERE.

The fuck you ramblin about now?
Never cosigned shit, just sayin half of wat he said is shit we've all prolly seen or done at some point.
Cmon bags Mr cocaine king you know all about it right?

[uh-oh]

i don't know whats more gross, bags thinking this is sensationalism or diode trying to compare his own upbringing to it

diode i know you grew up poor, i did too and i'm still poor, but there is a difference between getting by and EXISTING. you got by. like AMERICANS.

these people just exist.

although the writer is dumb. he's making good money he's just too retarded to realize it cuz it aint fast crack money. he's not too poor for pop culture. this niggas website is immaculate. he's up on twitter. he's worked internationally teaching and he does all that side shit too, photography, writing, and videos

thats the only part of the article i didnt like. was when he was comparing himself to them like he's hurting with all the work he's talking about getting. teaching 1000's of classes a year

niggas on that 2014 diode salary trying to act like he's just gettin by with fresh jordans and beats by dre headphones while a dude like me's transportation can't even get me to my job so i'm sitting here with my dirty knockoff jordans and ihome headphones i got from wallgreensssssssssssssss

[Ghost1]

So u question me......then cosign my point exactly.

Strong move, uhoh. Strong move.

[Diode]

i was explicitly not comparing myself to this dude. that was the whole point. nobody here can compare themselves to this situation.

hush tried to compare me to eddie, which was wrong.

I understand it and I ain't lived it as bad as dude in the article....
My girl lived on 13th street in Covington and I stayed with her there for a min, crackhesds an broke down alcoholics are common as roaches, half her family got government everything an was lucky if they could find somebody ta bum a cig off of. Shit even I was homeless for a bit when my mom died an my dad dipped Cruz heroin an strippers was more important than a house.
I still ain't gonna say I lived it like dude say in but I understand it still....can't really argue somebody else's comprehension about shit, if somebody don't understand it that's on them but I assumed with the way everybody talks on here I wasn't the only one that could understand it

you are scared. it's cool.

we can do a free expo at charleston mma over here instead. full octagon. since grappling isn't your thing (after you claimed to have 45 years of training).

how is that?

better yet, how about you prove you have any training or experience with anything besides stephen hawking's text to speech translator?

smh I never said 45 years...an u've never heard me stutter...maybe there's something wrong with ur cognitive awareness if u hear stuttering where there isn't any...

aside from that, I never said I'm not good at ground fighting...I actually spent quite a bit of time training in shoot fighting an nihon jujitsu...I just don't LIKE doing it...
