If you are from the hood or in law enforcement, you probably know about notorious drug dealers such as: Ricky Ross, Nicky Barnes and Fat Cat. These big time dealers made mad cash dealing drugs and have become major icons in the streets. True rappers esteem them as role models, mentors and legendary street figures.

With the advent of crack cocaine, the newer generation of dealers have taken slinging to a higher level than their predecessors. They are more sophisticated, more violent, more hardened, more criminally minded, more determined and somewhat harder to catch and convict.

Crack Cocaine Facts

1). It’s Easy To Get into the Game

You don’t need a college education, a lot of money, major contacts or contracts or backing to get in the crack game. All a potential dealer needs is some water, baking soda, readily available cocaine, a hustler’s mentality and an ice cold conscience. With that combination, he will become a big time playa in the crack game.

2). From Crack To Rap

It’s no secret that numerous rappers started off slingin crack cocaine and use their drug dealing riches to fund their rap music dreams. This is probably the fastest path into the hip hop game. By slingin crack a novice can bypass shopping his CD to tight azz record executives and get his crunk rap beats and lyrics on CD and in the hands of the people.

3). Street Credibility Makes a Baller

Once the word gets out that a slinga handles his business, (i.e., always has product available, has potent product, has enforcers, will smoke a nigga) he establishes street credibility, respect and power. He also establishes a certain degree of fear that he or his solders are not to be fu#@$d with. Once he establishes street credibility, his rise to power is guaranteed.

4). Every Baller Know The Risks

A lot of men and women in law enforcement falsely believe that federal sentences will deter ballers from slingin crack. How wrong they are! Crack cocaine is illegal and every baller, slinga and clocker knows this. They also know the federal sentencing guidelines but 20 years in a federal pen does not dissuade any true baller from taking the risks. Check the words of heralded rapper Young Jeezy: “Risk It All You Can Lose Ur Life What Else Can I Say Dats A Hell Of A Price (Dayumm)… Ima Stay Thuggin Till Da Feds Come Get Me…” The bravado of these ballers is highly commended in the rap game.

5). Thugs Take Over

Like the character Nino Brown in the movie “New Jack City,” once a dealer infiltrates a neighborhood, their mentality and mission is to take total control of the turf by any means necessary. Their objective is to convert everybody in their domain into either: a user, runner, lookout, lieutenant, enforcer or errand boy. Once they become rooted in a community, the paradigm shift takes place. They create open-air drug markets, take over abandoned properties, trash rental properties, frighten homeowners, reduce property values and attract turf wars.

6). Learn The Crack Cocaine Game

Learning the crack game is a matter of picking up a rap CD or downloading rap MP3. Many rappers from Notorious B.I.G. to Master P rap about how to make crack, sling crack, be a baller and obtain street cred.

7). Rappers Get Mad Street Credibilty
By flossin their ability to sale and distribute crack, rappers obtain mad street credibilty. It hypes up their CD sales to th upteenth degree.
