The other thing is this I want you to learn: I want to go around all over the streets, and you make yourself a protector. You go in, and you make sure these guys are all safe, okay, you offer them an order of protection for a small nominable fee, and thats the way you do it. You walk in and you tell 'em, "Hey, you know, we're gonna take care of your business, but you gotta pay us X amount of dollars a week." So you collect from them, you bring it to us, we give your piece and you're earning the money for the family, and then you go up and up and up the pole

Say what you will about the man’s often-simple lyrics, Bryan “Birdman” Williams is the last of the hip-hop moguls (Diddy, Suge Knight, et. al.) to remain standing and relevant. His record label has been putting out important albums since 1992, including some of the most important New Orleans rap of the era – works by Kilo G, U.N.L.V., Lil Slim, Ms. Tee, Pimp Daddy, the Hot Boys (and their breakout star, Lil Wayne) and more

Despite Birdman’s oft-simple flows and his propensity to hide his own chin, he has managed to appear on tons of bangin' songs over the past almost two decades. Let’s see how your favorite rapper’s career is doing in twenty years. Brrrrrr!
