Throughout the film, the characters swear incessantly, carry around guns and drugs as most people would carry around cell phones, commit street crimes, especially burglary and mugging, on a regular basis, and beat and kill people unscrupulously.

Lately there has been a serious local concern that has bothered me, and it’s the hustle. The hustle game has been worrying me for a while, with some music makers stopping, not many people wearing designer clothes, and lack of general swagger.

Both essays drive through the point that being educated will set people free from both personal and outside barriers. Malcolm X starts this conversation by stating, “I have known many slick, sharp-looking hustlers, who would have you think they had an interest in Wall Street…” (Malcolm X).
