I got news for somma ya. In today's world its not surprising of the money athletes, actors, and rap artis make. Look at little wayne's bankroll, fiddy cents, will smith, justin Bebs, justin tims, charlie (rock) sheen, and so on. The MJs, DocJs, Magics, Birds, Nas, Big Daddy Kanes, Grand Puba's of the world never raked in the dough like these cats. Its just a shame that somma these cats blow it all aka the shimmy Walker, I gotta feed my kids spreewells, never seen a moment I couldn't shine in T.O. and the resta these busters..........wow!
