Cool move! Wonder why he chose Newark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring more to Sharpe James hahaha... I have no problems with Booker so far. His street fight dvd documentary was well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 kind of interesting how he does this right before that movie about him/facebook is released. maybe trying to paint a better image of himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I don't think his "image" matters. He is a billionaire and is set for 100 lifetimes, lol.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Dose Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) At this point I don't think his "image" matters. He is a billionaire and is set for 100 lifetimes, lol.... If you think about it, once you have all of that money, what's left for you to be concerned with besides your image? But I was confident that MZ was a good person. Hopefully he keeps it up.

DevsMan84 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 +1 I like Christie, but this money will go to waste again. If over $20,000 a year per student spent already in that city isnt helping already, then $100 million more is not going to help. Also according to film The Cartel (great documentary) there are over 400 admins in the Newark school system making over $100,000 a year. What a waste and the money will go into the pockets of politicians and admins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
