A “Lil Positivity”: Former Millionaire Drug Dealer “Tony Montana” Changes His Life To Teach Senior Citizens Aerobic Classes

Talk about a change of career path… Former Drug Dealer Changes Life To Teach Senior Citizens Aerobics Via OpposingViews Thomas Mickens built a multimillion dollar yayo empire from the ground up. Now, he spends his days helping senior citizens build their bodies up. “People who used to work for me look at what I’m doing now and say, ‘What are you doing?’” he said during a recent interview. “I left the past in the past — and I was able to walk away.” Mickens started selling marijuana at age 15 after dropping out of high school. “I started with three dollars. I bought a trey bag, rolled up eight joints, and sold each one for a dollar.” From that humble beginning, Mickens’ operation eventually became more lucrative, generating $100,000 a week and also allowing him to start multiple other legit businesses, including a dry cleaners and a grocery store. Mickens, known as “Tony Montana” on the streets, once boasted an impressive collection of material wealth. He amassed a fleet of 21 luxury cars, including a Rolls Royce equipped with a TV, a Ferrari and a Lamborghini; a $800,000 mansion in Dix Hills; a 38-foot-yacht paid for in cash; a helicopter; and a mouth full of gold “fronts” studded with diamonds. But after being busted in 1989 for tax evasion, drug dealing and money laundering, he came out of prison in 2008 with no money to his name. That’s when he decided to create “The Tommy Experience”, a health exercise and wellness program. As a fitness instructor for senior citizens, Mickens now earns between $40-$150 per class. “I’m not proud of what I did to my neighborhoods. I’m not proud of the pain I put my mother through,” he said. Each session, “is like me giving back to my mother.” Image via OV

Lock His Bad Azz Up: Chicago Wants Chief Keef Back In Juvenile Hall After This Video In Gun Range [Video]

If he keeps on fueling the violence in our neighborhoods instead of trying to mend old wounds or right his wrongs… then lock him back up: “With the 17-year-old rapper listening, Cook County prosecutors outlined why they think the Interscope Records artist should be returned to juvenile detention. The rapper, whose real name is Keith Cozart, is serving 18 months of probation for pointing a gun at a Chicago cop. He was also found delinquent on two other felonies. Prosecutors argued he violated the probation by having a gun in a video posted online. They pointed to a recorded media interview the rapper did in June at a gun range in New York, where he can be seen with a gun. That’s a probation violation, prosecutors argued, because his probation bans him from having any guns or illegal drugs or associating with gang members.” F*ck A Thug… Suntimes youtube

Stop The Violence: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Begs People In Chicago To START Snitching To Help Curb Numerous Shootings

Wonder what Cam’ron and Jim Jones think about this… Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Pleads For People In Chicago To Cooperate With Police Chicago has a SERIOUS problem, and it’s going to take the help of the community to solve it. After another violent weekend in his city, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has a message for anyone involved in the shootings that left nine people killed and 37 injured: Stop the culture of silence. “I’d like to remind everybody that it also requires a community to step up,” Emanuel said Monday at an unrelated press conference. “You’re not a snitch, you have a role in community policing.” The “s” word is a particularly powerful one in Chicago. Last year a Chicago mother was arrested after she allegedly drove her son and an accomplice to shoot a person they believed was a snitch. The year before, a dying 17-year-old took the name of his killer to the grave. “I know,” Robert Tate reportedly said when asked if he knew who shot him in the chest, “but I ain’t telling you.” Last week, eight people were struck in a drive-by shooting at 79th Street and South Essex Avenue, and community activist Andrew Holmes said some of them reportedly weren’t cooperating with police. “The persons have been struck by gunfire, they need to step up and speak up for us,” Holmes told NBCChicago.com. “Nine times out of 10, they knew who was firing the shot at them.” Ninjas will support the dumbest, most ignorant, “trends” but won’t do something that could help save the neighborhoods that they claim they represent. If you have information that would lead to the arrest of a known killer, do your part. Point blank, period. Image via WENN Source

Ho Blockers: Orthodox Men Are Investing In Glasses To Blur Their Vision Of Scantily Clad Women

Orthodox Jews In Israel Buy Glasses To Blur Vision Of Tempting Women And lead them not into temptation… We knew the Orthodox folks were strict but dayuuuum! It’s the latest prescription for extreme ultra-Orthodox Jewish men who shun contact with the opposite sex: Glasses that blur their vision, so they don’t have to see women they consider to be immodestly dressed. In an effort to maintain their strictly devout lifestyle, the ultra-Orthodox have separated the sexes on buses, sidewalks and other public spaces in their neighborhoods. Their interpretation of Jewish law forbids contact between men and women who are not married. Walls in their neighborhoods feature signs exhorting women to wear closed-necked, long-sleeved blouses and long skirts. Extremists have accosted women they consider to have flouted the code. Now they’re trying to keep them out of clear sight altogether. The ultra-Orthodox community’s unofficial “modesty patrols” are selling glasses with special blur-inducing stickers on their lenses. The glasses provide clear vision for up to a few meters so as not to impede movement, but anything beyond that gets blurry — including women. It’s not known how many have been sold. For men forced to venture outside their insular communities, hoods and shields that block peripheral vision are also being offered. The glasses are going for the “modest” price of $6. Guess they are taking that see no evil stuff to heart huh. Source

Soulja Boy "Deeply Sorry" For Anti-Army Rap

Saying he “let my words get the best of me”, Soulja Boy wrote an apology letter today after coming under heavy fire for perceived anti-military lyrics . While a line like “F**k the Army troops” is open to some interpretation … it’s clear what the message was in his recently-released rap, “Let’s Be Real.” In any case, the star just posted a blog entitled titled, “I Am Deeply Sorry To All Members Of The United States Military Services And Their Families.” Several military vets lashed out against Soulja Boy after he released the rap. One former sergeant even released his own rap dissing the celebrity. He tried to explain where he was coming from, but for the most part, Soulja owned his mistake and came off sincere on GlobalGrind (dot) com. Soulja Boy comes right out and says that in criticizing the military, “not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them.” Soulja’s apology letter appears after the jump …. As an artist, I let my words get the best of me. Sometimes there are things that we feel, things that we want to express, and when we put them on paper and speak them out loud, they can come out wrong. When I expressed my frustration with the US Army, not only did my words come out wrong, I was wrong to even speak them. So, I write this to give my sincerest apology to all members of the United States military services, as well as their families that were offended by my most recent lyrics. As a young man who grew up in the post-9/11 era, I have watched our country fight two wars that seem like they are never going to end. Soulja Boy – Let’s Be Real I have seen thousands and thousands of our brave men and women get killed in battle and often times, I think for what? A lot of people in this country are struggling to make ends meet and I think a lot about what if we had never gone to war. Where would our economy be? Our schools, our after-school and work programs, our streets? I mean, damn, 48 people got shot in New York City just this past weekend … in 3 days … I’m not saying that it is just because of a bad economy, but at a certain point we have to take care of our own people. In no way would I ever want to offend those who are protecting our freedoms … a lot of homeboys who I grew up with, a lot of people who come from the neighborhoods we live in … In no way do I want to hurt any of our honorable soldiers who put their lives at risk, regardless of how they feel about the two wars we fight in. I am just frustrated that we haven’t been able to bring you all home quick enough and my frustration got the best of me. I am deeply sorry. ~Soulja Boy
