How Many Dollars Will You Meet Before You Change?

What rappers are you tight with?

I used to be tight with 2 Chainz, but now that he’s blown up we really don’t speak that much.

Why?

He has his success now and it recently changed. We were closer before that. But I’d rather us not be close and him reach his dream if that’s what it takes.

At one point we were inseparable, just going everywhere and doing everything together. If you saw him out, you saw me. We were just tight like that.

San Antonio Spurs basketball star Stephen Jackson is also a rapper, and in an interview with ESPN, he talks about his career and how he’s seen money change people he knows, and why that’ll never happen to him:

I never met a dollar that could change me. Been the same guy since day one. I do what I do. I drink like I want to. I do what I want to. I’m who I am. When you get all this money, people expect you to be somebody that you’re not, but I’ve never changed.

I don’t know about you, but I’d like to meet some more dollars.
