Good -vs- Evil and the Forces Between...

"Oooohhh we living like we bullet proof, bang bang bang bang bang bang....Oooohhhh we Load em, cock aim and shoot, ohhhh we load em ,cock, aim and shoot...."(c) Raheem Devaughn...As I sit here and listen to the lyrics in this masterpiece, it got me to thinking about alot of different issues with todays society and our music. Here is a track talking bout issues in this world that WE ALL relate to, Poverty, violence, the economy and all of lives struggles in general..Classik music..then i listen to others and i wonder to myself, "what am i supposed to take from this song"?? Am i supposed to listen to how you have it all and i dont?, Am i supposed to take from it that i can have swag too or as yall say it, i can never have a swag like yours !!! Absolutely right jackazz..I dont wanna be like you. I want to upgrade myself to a higher level and i aint just talking bout the trees im hanging from (no insult intended)..Im talking about self worth, self respect...A lot of the "rappers" that are out now are what i like to call followers. Making music for the consumers and not for themselfs...I heard a song recently from a source i will keep anonmous and i sat back and literally laughed out loud...Everything was a reference to drugs, bitches and money, clothes, cars and all that material shyt...I can do this and I can do that type musik..SO WHAT..for real...Come on..we got bigger fish to fry homeboy..Are you blind to it? or just that dumb?...Dont get me wrong there is a lot of music that is considered classic or makes listening to it worthwhile...But it doesnt get the recognition it deserves..In order to really find it, you have to be searching, searchin, searching....Online, blogs, downloads and nothing on radio, TV, or in stores...So that goes unheard most times. A female friend of mine said that she doesnt even listen to rap musik anymore...Saying that its not like it once was..which is 10000% true..She was asking for the Tribes, De la Souls,Public Enemy, KRS1 to come back...And said besides MosDef, Talib, common and Lupe, she cant stand rap..Her exact words and I quote "does every song have to be either obnoxious bragging or drugs or guns? That got old sooooo fast." It certainly did babygirl... I miss the good music too..But we cant all be satisfied I guess... keep downloading....hahaaha , IM OUT

"THE BREAK THRU"

Expose the truth to the young black youth.....

Grey Sky's Aint for Everyone......

My mood is fuked up yall..and i aint here to complain about a damn thang cause bottom line is im alive, healthy, gotta couple dollars in my pocket and my family is all good but still there are things that i wish i could change ,take back or just simply make better.. In my lifetime i have met and connected with some of the realest people and to be honest ,those people are probably just as close as they were then, as they are now but lets go to the famous quote "people change with time"..So true..But my mood is all about change and the frustrations that comes with change..Some things change for the better and some things just point blank simply "change"...I was sitting here a moment ago thinking on what the hell im gonna do about work,musik,life, and happiness..Well the happiness part i can deal with cause for the most part i am happy everyday i wake up...Kids smiling, wife is smiling and i woke up to see yet another day...But how about the other thangs that KEEP that happiness alive...My job suks ass juice thru a straw and the only thing that i can change about that is getting a new one, but whos to say that once i find a new gig, if in time imma get tired of that one too...I wanna work with the youth of the world, weither it be a counselor,mentor,teacher, big brother, whateva it is , i "think" i would be happy doing that...But what happends? i go out and inquire and look for a position like that and they either not paying enough, or got me working with mentally challenged kids or just dont have a position open or better yet and i love this one, "they require a degree"...Now i know plenty of people who are hands on with a position of this magnitude and dont have the credentials to do the job, but they getting paid for it...I coach pop warner football and deal with kids ages ranging from 12-15 and they respect me for being who i am..A young positive black man..and they love it..they joke and laugh wit me, but at the same time, they will come to me with a problem as well and thats voluntary..they dont have to do that, they just feel comfortable enough to voice it to me ..Whoelse can they feel that comfortable with other than a big brother or a counselor or mentor?...I fit that perfectly like a foot to an ankle sock, but i cant get paid for it!!!???? things that make u go hmmm...Awww man and i said to self that i wasnt gonna get on this musik thing but i cant help it...I hear all tha time "when u make it", yall are hot, different, man i need to work wit yall, yall gotta fresh sound and the latest and greatest, "yall are Triatholon rappers" unsure if i spelled that right but get my point....All of that and im still spending all my personal money to make it happen...Going off of my own instincts for this shyt and where is it gettin me???/..But i have to keep tellin myself 'i do it for the love of good muzik' which is true but im going broke doing it..But they say, you gotta spend money to make money.....Then there are the people from ya past that really make u go hmmm..i wonder what could have come from that..I may get in trouble for saying this but this is my world on here, there are people that i have feelings for that I cant act on...Imma happily married man but there are people that i look at like...damm what if...its real...and real is real..i cant do shyt about it...but think..and that thinking can eat at chu...but i have to man up and say....OH THA HELL WELL>>...lol

I love my life, just wish i could dictate it...But thats GODS job not mine.....Unclutter your life! (Simplify & eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary can speak)....

Guilty Pleasures......

Guilty pleasures are the little things that make life just a wee bit better. Of course, they're also the things you're not supposed to do, but if these pleasures make us so happy, what do we have to be guilty about??? Most times we do these things without a care in the world..Ignoring our conscience thats telling us this is wrong, dont do it, there may be consequences..but we dont care..and if we do care its not gonna stop us from enjoying this pleasure of choice. Some of us have guilty pleasures that arent really that major like, being addicted to bad reality TV shows, celebrity gossip or maybe even FACEBOOK..(lol) But then there are the major ones like if you have health issues and you still get that deep fried fatty food cause it taste so damm good, but u know its gon kill u, or cheating on ya special someone just to get that "fix"...there are alot of different guilty pleasures and they range from minor to major, big to small, but we all have them...I was thinking about what some of my GP's are and I tried to make sense of it as to why i get pleasure out of it...A few of them are major but i still do them without a care in the world...Cause it completes me..like the trees i smoke, the poison i drink, the people i see...Those things make me feel good, keeps me in balance and if i dont have or partake in these pleasures then im a little off for the day...Its crazy but its true..So ask yaself...Whats ya favorite guilty pleasure??? And can u do without it???(think about it)

Our Youth Today....damm

Tha time is whateva and im sittin ,sippin and flippin thru tha channels and came across the new BET show "Frankie&Neffee"....pause, wait ,hold up a minute...You mean to tell me yall are about to argue,cuss,yell,scream,fight,smoke,kick,and all that, right in front of a army of kids?..Foreal tho, "i dont like him, and get tha fuk out and this and more of that" come on man!!! seriously, thats the reason why our youth is the way they are today cause no one is showing them how to be human, how to be stable, how to be sain...Now i understand its different strokes for different folks but come on people, its more than obvious that the majority of our young go thru a life just like this..Livining in these exact same conditions...Hearing all the hatred and fighting and cussing with no regards..and repeating it like its the thing to do..Just recently, a young 12 year old girl by tha name Camry McNight, was randomly shot in tha face, and has died from the injuries..with no regards...Killed..And there were 2 others that also were shot and so far luckily have survived the shots but damm um my prayers go out to her family,friends and loved ones. But i have witnessed one of many examples of how tha kids are being raised now a days..Momma aint raise no fool and my generation was raised by a different creed than whats being taught today..Scared that i would get a woopin for something i did and having the conscience of thinkin of tha consequences if i did somethin or was "bout to do"..havin enough sense not to do dumb shyt, i mean i DID some dumb shyt but not no shyt like whats going on today,,In todays society!! hell to tha naw.. things have changed and thats for certain...something things have changed for betta while others have been overlooked or pushed aside..Not helped or guided to better things in life...A lot of us should look ourselves in the mirror and ask ourselves, "What can I DO to change it??".....

A New Chapter In My Life Has Begun....

Life...It goes up and down, and around and around again..But its what you make of it, and yours to live...Well, with that being said, i chose to change lanes and give my life to a lady who has done a whole lot for me in the 10 year span that we have been together..Aug15th, i married my queen. No regrets AT ALL..I love this woman...and now i get the opportunity to love her for the rest of my life, lord willing.. shyt, a house, 2 kids, a dog, and some good loving...how can i go wrong with that..? cant beat it..all im missing is the white picket fence but i dont need all that... i have all i can ever ask for...pure happiness now...its like a cleansed soul, for real..a new me, a new beginning..Some people take a lifetime, searching for what i have now..i must cherish every nook and crany..She supports what i do, and also is a strong woman who dont take too much shyt..She aint no toilet..lol..sorry had to say that..Strong like my momma...a true qualification for a beautiful wife...Since meetin her, at first i wasnt ready for all of the pressures of being a father/husband. but i have restructured myself to "make it do what it do" cause in all reality, i wasnt goin nowhere. No matter what i have done in the past, i wasnt going nowhere..this is my home, my ground, my life...and i love it...

Myspace comes to an end...

Is anyone out there still using myspace? i mean really...Are you using it to meet and greet old to new friends, get some online ass, or show that you can rap too??..what is it being used for??...Its that same ol song, stop thru, listen to my page and let me know whatchu think..Or download this mixtape for free or you get a message and or open a comment and its a media player of some of the same ol musik or a glitter flicker pointless message... Myspace is just watered down now...There are a million and 1 rappers on there trying to solicate their musik and a million and 1 more half naked girls tryin to get comments.. I really dont mind the eye candy persay but the pics are redundant...and they not really looking to meet nobody, they just lookin for the attention...thats all its for.. and the musik that people invite you to hear is hit or miss...may be hot, may be not...but its like an online swap meat on there...When u log on, you have a new friend request from someone you will never meet, know, see or hear from...but they wanna add YOU as a friend...and then what? thats right...the selling of themselves..quote "good looking on the add request, come thru listen to the musik, gotta new mixtape and new picks up...peep...." Come on...and plus now they have facebook (which i am a fan of cause its more personal), Twitter (which im not feeling, cant jump on the Twitter bandwagon)..i dont even really know what Twitter is...but its like that pair of Jordan's back in tha day that everybody ran to the stores before it even opened to get em... i was one of them dudes that didnt want to be wearing the same shoes as everybody else....Come on...im original...Cant be out there like "Mr.Me Too.....hahaha so with that said..i have no use for myspace anymore...But imma keep it active just because I CAN..lol..... but its not a money maker and its crazy annoying to people... point blank...."Myspace has lost its meaning.."

Thought You Were Tha Love of My Lyfe....(til u threw it away)

verse:
Lets sing a melody, melody flowing steadily
Heavenly you and I, been heavily on my mind and Im
Lost for words, went crazier in the mind
Done lost a lot of time on a love that was never mine
I find it hard to believe, even harder for me to see
The one that I thought i need, was someone outta my league
She led me on indeed, intended to get me open
Im hoping to get the gushy, the gushy she kept it soakin
We smoking sharing a laugh, Im stroking ,smacking that azz
She moaning making me oooz, the moment making her crash
Im back to getting that cash, you know money over my (uhhh)
She back to doin the math, you know addin up all the riches
Found it was nothing funny, she after my nuts and honey
The heffas a GFM, a gold digger for money
Thought smarter than Chris Brown, rather leave before i beat her
Dont need her, now she know that she old news like a throwback.....

Get Up, Get Out, And Get Somethin....

Actions speak louder than words. So i know that if someone says one thing, it can mean another. Until they prove they are worthy of putting they money where they mouth is, it means nothing. Everyone at some point in life, hits a wall.. An Obstacle, a hill that they must climb..Some will ball up and cry or complain about what they need to deal with ,rather then getting past it. Others will go into a shell, a deep mode of depression and hope that others will take care of it for them to ease the pain or stress of it all....Then there are those who "ManUp" head high ,chest out..Ready for whatever it is that they need to take care of ..By any means necessary. They will get it done. I fall into the category of "Get er done". No sense on dwelling on it , when there is something to be done..think about that.~~~ Do u procrastinate? Do u pass the buck? Do U always look to others for assistance with something that you can basically take care of yourself? I do at times but i then realize that it takes longer for someone to help you out. But help is needed at times..dont get me wrong...But try the best you can to help yaself at the same time..You'll be suprised by what you can get done alone......(note to self)...

"One Hand Watch Tha Other, Two Hands Wash Tha Face"

i been doing this for years. Freestyling, beatboxin, writing, recording..whateva it is muzik wise, i have done it...but im starting to think that "i must not be doing something right"!!!... So i say to self, "self, u need to step ya game up".. I find myself sitting back while others are doing things and making moves. Now there muzik may be trash and they have no stage presence but hey, Who am I?.. they are you tubin, gettin the shows, getting the DJs to host they mixtapes and what not..So they doing something right...i go listen to the new muzik they have posted on their myspace pages and check comments and see what the streets are sayin and its crazy to see that people acually comment that its hot and keep it up and so on and so forth....i sound like a hater huh? lmao....So the fuk what.... cause i post muzik up and i ask for comments and feedback and i get....crickets....,lol... Like..did u mafukas even tune in? are u intimidated to state the truth..u think u gon be called a "dik rider" if u compliment someone..Shyt , u do it for everybody else...or is Rochester so clique'y that you cant give props to someone outside of ya crew...i mean what is it? .. i know my muzik is hot...the streets love it..and if the streets had a PC, i would prolly recieve the love i deserve... I mean, i comment on other MCs muzik if its hot....for real....they know who they are...but do i get that in return?? huh...... I'll wait.!!! i didnt think so....but its a small thing to a king cause imma continue to record hot muzik weither yall love it or not... but for some reason deep down in my soul.... i know yall like it....just scared to admit it....i aint been in the local scene due to this on going issue...My brotha from another mutha ,Hassaan Mackey opened up for Jadakiss like over a month ago...and the first thing i asked him was "how did the people recieve you"...his quote.."some people bigged me up but at the same time seemed kind of un-pleasant ... like i ain't put them on you know typical Rochester stuff ... its cool though ....Naw..hell naw that shyt AINT cool... if someone shows you respect, show respect back...its that simple.. treat em how u wanna be treated...dont make it seem like your the superstar and everyone needs you...cause thats not the case...but if your doin something and can help others, do so.... dont be scared that they gonna do something betta than you and then say that hater shyt like, I helped that nigga with that, he aint do it...so what u helped...good lookin out... but our Local hiphop scene needs to come together to make it bigger than what it is.... hence the quote "One hand watch the other, two hands wash the face"....now put cha hands together when u sayin ya grace...put cha hands together when you giving him praise and put cha hands together when we step in the place.......

Have Mercy On Us All...

Another block cornered off by yellow tape. Another murder. This is the scene in Rochester, New York, 19th ward as im drivin down Thurston rd on my way back to work comin from the house. Im askin myself, "i wonder who got bodied?" Sadly to say, it was a young man who well known for being who he is. A man. Young athlete, father to a 2 year old boy, everything looking up for him. But, here go that grey cloud, the gremreaper..."Its ya time to go".....Damn!!!..I have personally lost quite a few people now and its not really makin to much sense to me. Theres a questionable suicide, a young man who i watched grow up,got shot dead, in a place i wouldv'e never imagined him being, and another who was stopped at a stop sign...straight murders...and for what?....

My prayers go out !!!!!!

Be A Father To Ya Child... (or Children for most of us)..lol

As my grandma used to always say "U made the bed, u lay in it"...SO TRUE.. U lay down wit the opposite, attract the positives with the negatives and 9 months later, u have to deal with that person for the rest of your life weither you want to or not....if u choose not to deal with her, then pay up... if u choose to deal with the situation, well, then....man up...Easier said than done but the reality is that the kid didnt ask for this... they never asked to come into this cold world , to deal with all the BS that comes with living.. and its even more sad when i hear the news stories of a child that has been murdered or is missing like the latest cases in Florida...Come on...what did they do.? or baby Mommas..You had these kids and they took away ya freedom...now u cant do as u please anymore, right??? So what... why dont you work it out with ya dead beat ass baby daddy and have him watch em for awhile....But No..."i aint leavin my kids with him"...well, stop complainin then...but yall real quick to pass em off to ya mom or grandma to watch em so u can go out to the club 4 nights a week...to meet yet another lame ass dude....goood job mom!!!..lol now u got 3 babies by (i'll be nice) 2 different daddy's....Notice im not using the word "Father"...its Daddy...cause the kids can walk around like that movie "Dont Be A Menace While Drinkin Juice in The Hood", talkin bout some "Are u my daddy?"..... now thats a damm shame...but there are a lot of us out there that never knew and never will know their father..or who they can call they "daddy"...sad but true....im glad i was able to reconnect with my FATHER before he passed last summer...That is something i will always cherish and it also helped me to become a better father... i have a responsibilty to hold up to, i have to raise these kids the best way i can so that they dont have to deal with the unnecessary stress of a dysfunctional household....if they want to ask me a question, whatever it may be, i have an answer...if they need help, im right there to lend them a hand or pick them up after they fall.... Its a beautiful thing being a Father.....Can you relate, or are you just another statistic?? Ask yaself.......

On a side note: "do your job and be a good parent. Take the time out of your personal schedule to be there for them daily, not just on holidays or birthdays" Show em u care....They are looking up to you, weither you know it or not"

Where Are They Now??? Have U Seen Em...(hell naw) lol

When you were in lets say Grammar school, did u have a crush on someone in ya class, in ya skool, or maybe they were just on ya bus???? ok, how bout that one fling that you had in the past that made ya toes curl?...Now ask yaself, "where are they now?"
I was listening to a friend tell me his current situation regarding his relationship and as he was talkin , i was comparing his story to one of my own from the past... At the begining everything was "peachy". The walks and talks, late nites on the phone (oh yeah im takin it back..wayyy back), the kisses in between class periods, passin notes back and forth and what not...Aw puppy love..hahaha..thats how i see his relationship...Puppy love!! and i told him just that.. I wrote in one of my songs "puppy love done grew to be big dawgs, damm look at cha".. they never stay the way they start out. All relationships change with time...just as anything , it grows for betta or worse and its up to you to nourish it...make it how u want it, or as some people say "make it work"...but its different strokes for different folks.. lets face it, the person that you meet at any given time, is at first exactly what u want...fun , exciting.and blah blah blah..lol... then months down the line, now he or she is a asshole or a hoe or whateva may have happen since yall first met..but the point is "they not what you signed up for"...there u have a change..or (fellas) you have a girlfriend now and in the begining yall was freekin during every second mama would give ya, but now u had kids and that "freek" has left the building...i know , i know... it aint the same huh?? well u signed up for it ,didnt u? well then "Make it do what it do or Get the hell on".. One monkey dont stop no show....that person will be ya "Where are they know" question...... shyt i had a hyskool love turn stripper/hooker, "Where is she now?" dont know, dont care..BUT still would love to know...wouldnt you?

Speculations And Rumors..

Over the weekend i watched that Tyler Perry movie "The Family That Prey's" and there was a scene in there that made me want to voice my opinion on somethin.. Ok if you seen it before, then you know the part im talkin bout where Sanaa Lathan told her husband "You will never be a Cartwright" "U will never be a man like him", he's a multi millionaire and he doesnt have time to talk to a construction worker who stutters and blah blah blah.....OK...and imma say that again..OK...now as a man, we can only take so much of being put down, ashamed of who and what we really are, and how we cant do certain things that the white men can "do so easily"...but thats not the point i wanna make.. He was a faithful hard working man, who was tryin to better himself for the sake of his family, and in this case, we had a strong devoted black man who was doing all he could...But his wife was tearin him down AND steppin out on him and not only that but had the audacity to have a baby with the other man too, leading her husband to believe that it was his the whole time....So I ask you, u find out that not only is ya wife having an affair but she also had a kid with the other man and YOU have been takin care of him this whole time. How would that make u feel and how would you react???..."Jerry Mcguire wasnt even that bad,," at least he knew it wasnt his to begin wit.... ok so that leads me to my point,.. but first imma ask all my readers anotha question.. "Did he have every right to sock the shyt outta her?". I know i know ,i was taught never to hit a woman either, but theres a time and a place for everything...and that time is now...lol...knock her ass out,...flat out!!!!.....
Now I wanna share a couple thoughts on this Chris Brown and Rhianna thang.... we all heard all kinds of different stories and rumors of what happend and what not. but this is my take on it, cause i know got damm well that aint no man gon bite a female without being helpless and in major pain...lmao...oK..heres my take.. They were arguing over whateva it was and Rhianna said some off the wall shyt, and then played that "NICCA WHATCHU GON DO" card. Fellas u know u been thru it..a chick tryin to act "nicca tough" like she wont get fuked up, right? rigggghhhhttt...lol...ok so wit that being said, he was furious and she was mushin him ,callin him a bitch, nicca suk a dik and i'll do whateva i want and u cant do shyt about it and all this crazy shyt, then started hittin him, diggin her nails in him and all...and he snapped, cracked and popped her ass....end of story...But Chris, u had to be gettin ya ass woooped pretty bad to bite her tho fam...u bit her tho?? wow..u lost points for that one but hey,u somehow got her back..but you know the sayin goes "a bytch thats gettin beat, cant leave the one thats beatin her"..she loves him....bytch please....listen, leave the one who beats you and stick to the simple type ,the ugly ones that greet you"
i guess im done wit this one.,..I can go on and on in so many different ways.... but women, please learn the lesson that u cant talk and act as crazy as u want to.... Like the great late Bernie Mack said, "if you old enough to talk back, u old enough to get fuked up" Hit her in the throat......lol..... remember i dont condone what either of these men did but i do "understand" ....

Lyfe After Hyskool Progress....

Ok so i was recordin the other day and came to the conclusion that im missin something...somethin is missin off of this album... the title "Lyfe After Hyskool" has a good positive ring to it..concepts are good..like its got the right feel to it.. tracks like "All I Know", "Who Am I" and even "Leave It Alone" all have a powerful message.. that message is that there is more to life then what meets the eye.. but i still cant put my finger on it...looked at the track listing and it flows perfect..starts out, ok you've graduated hyskool, now what? you gon Hustle, get at the ladies being at the club 4 outta 7 nites, u gon hustle some more, make a couple dollars, then realize that you cant do that for the rest of ya life..i mean Frank Lucas couldnt even do that his whole life..So now u wise up and do something bigger. Gotta family to take care of and u think about "what if u were either dead or in jail".. ok so i got a good concept to the album....so what is it?? then it hit me.. To be original, to change the game a lil bit and have the people enjoy ya muzik from start to finish.. The art of Interludes or skits has been missin on a lot of underground and even mainstream albums..Then i listen to ludacris, "Theatre of The Mind" hot..i dig that..So on this project, i have connected with one of my favorite up and coming spoken word artist to add a lil spice to this project. D-Nyce or Denise Frohman has lended me a hand with this one and she is slated to have a hot spoken word piece to open up the album..I love her spoken word...very powerful and has a great message in all of em....yall can check her out at www.myspace.com/dnicesoulmusic. she is tough... but anywho, got that spoken word piece...so ok...now imma be addin a bunch of funny skits to keep people entertained and also the skits will bring in the next track..like tie them in...but later for all that, its time to blow a L and think.......in a minute everyone and until then, "remain sukafree"

The Frustrations Of the Work Place...

I know we all have em... the co worker that u just cant stand. Every little thing they do, gets on ya last nerve..the constant complainin (and they aint even doing they job right) but got the nerve to complain about what they "supposed" to be doing... the 86 smoke breaks a day..i mean damm , aint it only supposed to be two 15 minute smoke breaks a day, or do smokers have a different break schedule than everyone else? i mean , u tell me..!!! Then u got the ones that dont have a clue as to what they are supposed to be doing but they SWEAR they know it all... The ones who jump right into ya conversation that your having with SOMEONE else.. its like "Mafuka was i talkin to you?" good lawd... they just have a need to relate to every damm thang u talk about so they feel "accepted"..lol... or the ones that when something outside of work happends to them, they gotta tell the whole damm company about it.. i mean errybody gotta know.. these types of people make me HATE my job..i hate the word work somedays.. knowing i gotta come in to that same bullshyt daily.. my alarm goes off and i immediately get a attitude for the day..lol...for real...im mad as hell for the rest of the day until i get out of work... i was once told that i come to work for the pay check , not to make friends, but shyt dont i deserve to be happy comin into this mafuka.. its like how ya momma used to tell u, " u go to skool to learn, not for a fashion show".. but that dont mean i gotta go to skool everyday and get picked on for havin them plastic bottom shoes from k-Mart, or having a elephant on my shyt and not the Lacoste gator...ya know??? .. may be its just me, but some people need to re-evaluate themselves... in my case, i need to change lanes and get a new gig....straight up..thats the only way to correct it..... but Who Am I???

"Your Under Arrest!!!"

First it was Marvin Harrison if I remember correctly wit the whole shooting at his shop,then Pacman gangsta ass , then Plaxico, and now Marshawn Lynch... (Arrested for illegal possion of a consealed weapon).. Now im thinkin to myself, "dont these fools have enough money to get a license for they shyt?". But then i realize that they just aint thinkin straight to begin wit. Where we come from its an expectation to carry ya heat witcha, i mean out there its "Get rich or die tryin", right? And celeberties are a prime target...Watches all bulky, ears on shine, smile all big...example Javon Walker... they beat the hell out that young man, so bad now the nicca cant get right....lol Had he been carryin the heat, he mighta made it thru...My boy Plaxico carryin his heat, but this simple minded nicca shoots himself.....nicca take ya time and get some lessons on how to handle ya heat...lmao....but hey ! at least u had it witchu.But you messed up our chance to go back to back playa!!! So what im sayin is, i cant blame the dudes for carryin they heat but i do blame them for their irresponsibility of not havin a license for they shyt. Unless they got priors, i just dont understand...

The State Of Hip Hop...

For the longest time i been tryin to explain to people about this whole topic of hip hop being dead and underground hip hop especially being dead but in reality, neither of the cultures are dead and neva will be..Although corporate america , u know (the money man, the sugar daddy of it all) are the ones responsible and that includes the Corporate America fans (which is the youth of our society) , the true hip hop listeners are also playin part in this madness...instead of saying hip hop is dead or this shyt is wak, or the radio is playing garbage, get up, get out and look around you...i bet there are a good handfull of MC's right in ya own hood, burbs, skool, whereva that will tear u a new asshole when it comes to this music shyt....MUSIC CAN NEVA DIE, but MUSIC CAN BE IGNORED..and then passed on for the likes of say "RichBoy(boy looka here) or all that crack,gun talk music(not hating but its not my cup of yak)...i mean truly, we are the ones who need to change the ways of the hiphop culture. We are all getting older so we need to be openminded when the music phases change...We're all responsible....Open ya ears....anythin intelligent is needed in today's culture....and the KIDS are the ones who are being influenced the most...easily impressed by fashion, drugs, guns and all that other bullshyt that floods the radio....But a conscience quote or verse is too much for them to understand???? gimme a dammm break like Nel Carter.... HIP HOP IS EVERYWHERE...buy into it...go to ya local mom and pop stores, local venues where someone from ya hood is opening up for somebody...i bet you'll find what chu been missin weither u wanna accept them or not....TRUE HIP HOP IS RIGHT UNDER YA NOSES.....wake up people...dont let Corporate America dictate whats hot and whats not....u be the judge of true music.........~ASAP~ Another Smooth Ass Prophet
