BARS: How to find a good OG (Wisdom from Philthy Rich)

Episode Summary
In this Bars episode, Niyi Sobo unpacks a line from Philthy Rich's Searchin: "Listening to the OG's they got the most game!" But not every OG is worth listening to. Niyi breaks down what makes a true OG—someone who leads with mindset, protects the game, has earned their wisdom through scars and experience, and lives as a real example of success. He also exposes the signs of a bad OG: outdated, bitter, tactical without depth. If you're looking for guidance, this episode will help you find the right mentors and avoid the wrong ones.

Key Takeaways

• An OG isn't just older—it's a mentor, guide, and source of wisdom.

• Good OGs are rare; family, fame, or money don't guarantee wisdom.

• A true OG leads with mindset, protects their knowledge, and has earned it through real-life wins and losses.

• A good OG is still learning—they never "retire" from growth.

• Bad OGs are stuck, bitter, and focus only on surface-level tactics.
