4:00 an people get so mad at me for being greedy for such things like this..what i want is "SUCCESS" what i want is "WEALTH" an you cannot of one without the other. That is reality for you.
150 years ago slaves wore chains around their neck so their masters can control them. Fast forward 100 years we are still wearing chains and being controlled by masters. The only difference is a little bit of bling.

I love it. I never knew the history behind the jewelry. Wow! This opened my eyes. ❤
Assets over liabilities..
Treasure chest.
See thats the trick get high fuck that 40 acres and a mule
I’m so tired of hearing how "behind we are." I’m not behind – I’m right on time. I cannot relate to that narrative.

I love seeing black folks telling black stories! This is fantastic (don’t agree with the sentiment, but the honesty and the heart is everything)! Do us baby!
still an insane waste of money
Theres a difference between rich and wealthy.
love this docuseries! I ALWAYS think to myself, what if Black Wall Street wasn’t burned to the ground… What if Gerrymandering wasn’t exploited to put Minorities in the worst locations and keep it that way for generations to come…. But we will never know.
I don’t care what anyone says, if your whole family tree was systematically oppressed for centuries and in some ways are being oppressed STILL – hell fucking yeah you’re going to flaunt your riches. Especially when the very system you live in was made to keep you from succeeding. Just like all them old dudes with Powdered wigs: It was a status symbol. And I’m all for wearing diamonds and flashy chains, Especially if you’re rich enough to wear dope chains and still set up your family for generational wealth.
Everyone has their way of showing status
Beauty N the BEAST !! #winning #victory #itsher

America’s chains are strength, how much I dream to wear like them
Y’all are welcome to Invest in AFRICA
Wow title is korean
Such an anti white video you’ll never be rich as white people lol
All praise be to allah for making me a muslim and preventing me from all of this. If they really love their african heritage then they should give their continent some aid because giving water to a thirsty child is better than wearing jewelry to “annoy the haters”.
At the end He said it wes Three Million. It was He may have paid Three Million but it is not worth Three Million. The worth is based upon the weight and the purity of the Gold ie; 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. The other factor is the QUALITY of the Diamonds used. You can have 1000 Diamonds but they are of Poor Quality. A Jewler knows that the Rapper is not a Gemologist and DOES NOT know Diamond Quality so they can take ADVANTAGE of Rappers eager to have Bling Bling made.
“If the society around you reviles you, you become the glorious outlaw.” That gave me goosebumps

Gangsters are not to be idolized black people are not over criminalized if they’re shooting people and selling drugs then they should be in fucking jail a lot of them are getting away with it maybe more of them should be in jail there’s a lot of more white people in jail than you think too for the same things and if they’re doing it then they should also go to jail. They need to stop fucking crying and fix their fucking communities. Personally I think all gangsters should be executed with no trial every single kind of gangster cops too
illuminati all over this video smdh
????????????????
Ok! Brought me back to the days. Well done!
I must admit I’ve never really listened to you guys music ???? But I am now and I love it ????????❤❤❤????????????????????????
When I see people wear jewelry especially these custom chains I just think what a bad investment. You’re never gonna get what you paid for it back. Invest in stock. Invest in Gold. Invest in smart start ups. Be wise.
Yo send me summa that diamond money $jonthereaper
Qc is on top
It is worth it to invest in jewlery? Can you re-sell it?
You got your "jewelry" but how many other investments have you got? what a waste and always blaming white people for your failure!
