the notorious big

From his Ten Crack Commandments, about how to be a drug dealer. But the rules can apply elsewhere too.

Here’s a few.

Number two: never let ’em know your next move

Number six: that credit”¦ forget it
Don’t give credit. It’ll slow you down.

Number ten: consignment [is] not for freshmen
