Products from the inner city

Brilliant minds are in the inner city. The ability to run a street pharmacy from a street corner takes some knowledge. You are running a business from a corner, and that consist of managing money, keeping track of inventory, location, supply and demand and the ability to make your customers happy. You have to be business savvy. Take for instance Jay-z, he couldnt just make a smooth transition into over an million dollar empire. Jay-z is brilliant and he is a product of the inner city. Imagine if everybody on the street corner hustling would open a business and use there know how from everyday life... everyone would encounter some success. It amazes me what talent we have in jail. The artwork I have seen on BET Rap City is crazy..I'm hurt to see wasted talent. I see so many industries capitalizing on our ideas. You can take one child from the inner city and another from the suburbs and let's see who will survive in a business setting. I choose the kid from the inner city because that kid faced obstacles and he or she knows how to adapt to situations. I'm not saying kids from the suburbs wouldn't be able to, but inner city kids have intangibles that can't be measured. The inner city is misunderstood by some of the killings and the crimes, but if you analyze those things you might think; what if this person used their energy for good; where would they be?
