They might sell still it...you're right. What i'm getting at
is why. How was it that Biggie could say with confidence that
he was "black and ugly as ever" and yet still
"getting all the honies"?

You know, I was watching a documentary on his life in which he
said that his mother not getting him a certain pair of
sneakers helped to lead him to selling drugs. He wasn't
hungry. His mom made enough money. He was even going to
private school at the time so he was wearing an uniform. Why
did he want the sneakers so bad? So he could be one of the
cool kids. Why? Cause they got the girls. He said this and his
mother backed him up "i wished he didn't do that but he
was always trying to impress his little girlfriends."
(this was on vh1 some time ago).

My point is what if education was sexy instead of sneakers?
