Foreign-born drug lords vs. Black drug kingpins

I've noticed a few differences between foreign drug lords and black drug lords: Black drug lords don't have the business mind that kingpins like Pablo Escobar & Griselda Blanco had. Escobar and Blanco used their money for legit business ventures, and they had cops and politicians on their payroll, so they had to pay them off to have free reign. Plus, they were very careful who they let get close to them. Not all, but a lot of black drug lords will let Ray Ray & nem, and his boys in the crew, not knowing these dudes could be undercover rats. The #1 rule to the game is watch the people around you. What's the first thing a black hustler does when he gets money? He gets flashy. Foreign born drug lords are low-key, they don't like a lot of attention, so they have their goon squad do their dirty work for them. Foreign-born kingpins will rarely step in because they have a team of capable hit men ready at all costs. 

Black drug lords are more hands-on, they like to lead by example: Look at folks like Frank Lucas, Nicky Barnes, Freeway Rick Ross, those dudes weren't above getting down for theirs with their squad. I've also noticed that foreign-born drug kingpins had police and some

government officials on their payroll, so they had free reign. Black drug bosses, not so much. Black drug lords rely on residents in their hoods not to go to the police, and a lot of citizens don't, largely due to mistrust between the cops and inner-city residents. As crazy as this sounds, black drug lords do more for residents in their hoods by helping single moms with rent and food, they buy children school clothes, etc. The subsequent violence that follows in the drug world is what gets a lot of kingpins jammed up because 9 times out of 10, someone rats them out to authorities.
