HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES PART 1......

Man i remember playin these joints in my Neon during Junior and Senior year of high school like crazy.

MAAAAAANNN......

FUCK EUROPE!!!!.....

ITS OFFICIAL.....

His name is officially Chad Ocho Cinco. who's ready to watch Bengals games now?

TEKKEN JR..

Imagine havin all these kids in the same kindergarten class? sheeeeeiiiiiiitttt...nap time my ass..

FITTING SONG FOR TODAY....

Keep today in the back of your minds for your children and grandchildren......

WHY?..

Why are lightskinned black people so damn angry all the damn time?.....

RANDOM DOPENESS..

I was watchin an episode of The Simpsons for the first time in years and it was an episode where Homer was on medicinal weed and he was high as hell one morning and this track started playing and i was like DAMN that song is kinda dope. its by a group out of germany called Donovan. joints kinda fresh, check it out. proof that i don't have "Nigga Ears"...

ON MY GROWN MAN ISH....

Ever since i got a sore throat a couple days ago, i've really become a tea person, not like ice tea, but TEA tea, the hot shit. i mean, i'm SERIOUSLY fuckin with tea right now. i find myself at work samplin different teas and shit. it keeps me awake like crazy but it doesn't taste as gross as coffee or as unhealthy as soda (that i know of). i even went out and copped a special big ass cup for my shit.

WE WANT JEEZY!!!

am i the only person wondering "WHY HASN'T JEEZY REMADE THIS YET?!?"

Uptown Niggaz Livin' Violent

i was on the boy Tommy's myspace page and saw this pic and it made me think of this southern classic back when Cash Money as raw and had more than ONE artist. you couldn't go anywhere in Houston and not hear this track. this joint came out in 96 and people played it like it was new up until 2000. needless to say, the guy who raps most of the track, Yella boy, was found killed a little after this track.....

GET MAD..

this is how ice t SHOULD have handled it.

THIS TRACK SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.....

T.I FT. JAY Z, KANYE, AND LIL WAYNE - SWAGGER LIKE US.....THIS......SHIT.....GOES......HARD!!!

CELEB LOOK-A-LIKES....AND I'M GOIN' HARD TOO...

FLAVOR FLAV/STRIPE FROM GREMLINS



T-PAIN/FLYING MONKEY FROM "THE WIZ"




NASTIA LIUKIN/BORG QUEEN (GAAAAAAAAHHHH DAMN...)



SHAWN JOHNSON/HOWDY DOODY (SHOUT OUT MOM FOR POINTING THIS JOINT OUT. LUV YA)




CONSEQUENCE/ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM (CMON, LOOK AT THE GRILLS..)




THE CLUMSY SCHOLAR....LOWERING SELF ESTEEM LEVELS ON A DAILY BASIS.....

THE TITLE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF...

This track does "Go Hard"...i usually don't mess wit T-Pain but dude wrecks this chorus, like he does majority of the other 500 that he does.

AND THE "HOMEY OF THE WEEK" IS.....

ERIC...MUTHA...PHUKIN....WIGGINS!!! GIVE IT UP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! LMAO.

In all honesty, this dude is probably a candidate for "Homey of the Year". real talk. this dude has held me down on lord knows how many occasions. one of the few lightskinned cats that i co-sign in VA (the other one works with him). i used to be (well, i still kinda am) a colorful dude when it came to close but this dude has shown me how to kill em with the "less is more, simple yet effective" approach and tone shit down and get my "grown on" while still bein street at the same time. while i was the first person to rock the dookie rope in VA, this dude was the ONLY one i saw rockin the African medallion back in 2004. when it came time to choose my replacement, this dude was the first person that came to mind. Probably one of the most level headed cats i ever met in my life that wasn't high at the time. you earned this spot like a muhfuka, boss. this joint is dedicated to you fam.

Peep Erics verse in this joint when he's rockin the shades talkin about "soft like silly puddy". lmao. you know i had to get you fam, you look just like dude. lol.

MOVIES THAT MADE YA BOY "EMOTIONAL"...

Imagine how the world would be if he was still here..



just watched this the other night...a nigga had a couple sniffles..



The ending was enough for me.



Don't even fuckin front......

WHAT DID THE 5 FINGERS SAY TO THE FACE?

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH DAMN!!!!

R.I.P. JULIUS "SHO NUFF" CARREY

..just don't go to heaven askin that "who's da master" shit...lol..have a peaceful journey, brotha.

SUPERMAN THAT HOE

YOOOOOUUUUULLLLL!!!

STRAIGHT TO DVD...

DAMN!! they didn't even get a release date and went straight to outlets for $79.99. i actually wanted the all black joints to be honest with you. but i guess they couldn't find a skater to cosign them......more for me..

WE ALL HAVE IT, BUT FEW USE IT....

Common Sense

IN THE WORDS OF SMOKEY.....

Here we go....

MAN, I KNOW THE FEELING....

man, i decided to do bad today and get a Chipotle burrito bowl wit chicken, hooked the fuck up and some chips for work tonight. i got half way through it when we had a patient coming in, so i had to put that joint up and get to work. after about 15 minutes, in the words of that dude Winnie The Pooh, i had a "Rumbly in my Tumbly". i ignored it for another 5 minutes and i guess my bowels decided to say "THIS nigga think we playin.." and thats when i had that walk that jamie did in this joint. i had to "Usain Bolt" out the unit because i knew i was gonna be puttin in some serious work and i didn't want ANYBODY i worked with to know by me going to the bathroom in the unit. as much as i liked Chipotle, i think i'm gonna have to put that place on hold.

HE'S BAAAAAAAAAACK!!

New Uncle Face track called High Powered. one of the few old cats that is still doin it in the game, shittin on the youngstas.

ANOTHER "LISTEN AND READ" JOINT

Life, as we know it, deals us ALOT of bullshit and unexpected situations that we don't feel like dealin with. but the thing is: do you let that shit fuck up your day or do you brush that shit off and use it as motivation to keep on "doin you"? you have optimistic people, pesamistic people, and "realists" as i call myself. some people like to use that "Glass of water" example, you know, is the glass half full or half empty. me, being the nigga i am, i see shit for what it is: a half glass of water and a half glass of water is better than none at all. all i know is when i'm thirsty, that half glass of water quenches my thirst better than nothin and will hold me down when the temperature rises. thats how i look at shit. we all have "glasses of water" in our lives, whether it be family, friends, and so on that we love but can't stand sometimes, but they are always there and its better for somebody to have your back and argue with later, then have nobody at all. so whether that "glass" is half full or half empty, just be glad its there when you need it when shit gets hot.

Peace

WHERE MY HOMIEZ?!

as a token of appreciation, i've decided to start my "Homey of the Week" posts. This goes out to those who go above and beyond "associate-ism" and are moving closer up to the ranks for "Friend" and finally "Fam" during the span of 7 days. But this doesn't mean "Fam n Friends" can't be a "Homey". This weeks "HOTW" is none other than the big homey Candice (peep her blog, Legal Couture, on the right). This week, you not only put me onto that other Santogold joint that is stuck in my head on repeat but you also hit me up about the Common/N.E.R.D tour all in the same day. you go girl. lol. you also have terms like "thebomb.com and Crunk City" stuck in my head now. You've been keepin real and keepin it gangsta all the time, buckin on dudes in the club and reppin "The H" to the fullest. so congrats on being the "Homey of the Week". this song goes out to you buddy.

you KNOW this song fits you. lmao.

THIS MUST BE MY JAM....

TALKING HEADS- THIS MUST BE THE PLACE. i got put onto this hangin around wit The Online/Warehouse Crew (shout out to Jae, Walt and Brian). when i heard it, it just stuck wit me and it held ya boy down for a summer. good shit.

OMG!!! ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME...

man, i had the black and red OG joints that summer and i thought i was the hottest thing to hit the streets besides the bullets that riddle my Southside Chicago neighborhood that summer. and now they are droppin them for the first time in 11 years THIS winter WITH a Playoff colorway?! you know i'm coppin EVERY colorway of this. this has, and always will be, my favorite jumpman sneaker if not one of my favorite jordan sneakers period. stay tuned.

MURS- CAN IT BE?

Can it be that this song is the shit?

CASUAL SAX - BABY I'M BLACK (FROM THE WAIST DOWN)

this shit is sick....in a good AND bad way.

GNARLS BARKLEY- RECKONER (RADIO HEAD COVER) LIVE

If you haven't guessed by now, i'm a big Cee Lo fan and dude kills this joint. shout out to the boy E-vil for this joint.

SANTOGOLD - L.E.S ARTISTES

Ya boy is fuckin wit this right now.

NAME OF THE WEEK

REGINALD

There is something about this name that cracks me the fuck up. when i hear it, it just gives ya boy the giggles. i mean, why would you name your child that? you can't even curse out a person with that name without somebody, if not you, wanting to laugh. its like "What!?! maaan.....fuck you...REGINALD!!!" and then when you shorten it to REGGIE, its no better. Reggie seems like its short for "Regular Nigga", which to point, you are if your name is Reginald/Reggie. Seriously, i looked up my name, Alex, and the book said the name Alexander means "protector of mankind" and if you shorten it, its still "protector" at least. When you shorten Reginald/Reggie, you get Reg, and when i go some where and see Reg, thats usually short for Regular. Look at Reggie Miller. That dude had the coldest jumper in the league at that time but couldn't get to the finals. WHY? Because that niggas name was REGGIE. He was predestined to be a "regular" dude. You can't even go up to a girl and tell her thats your name. just imagine: "hey, how you doin? my name is Reginald...". Shorty is gonna diss the hell out of you, fam. Girl A: "girl, that dude over there just tried to hollar at me sayin his name was Reginald". Girl B: "shiiiit, you were better off talkin to that nigga Ronald". Please, people, think before naming your child.

Next Weeks Name...........CHAUNCEY....its a damn shame people still name their children this shit....

*SCRUNCHED FACE*

Can Bun B EVER drop a wack verse? seriously. and how does Ross feel being in the presence of real individuals knownin he's a "character"?

"IF I DON'T LIKE IT, I DON'T LIKE IT. THAT DON'T MEAN THAT I'M HATIN"-COMMON

I hate this term. With a passion. To the point where I literally close my eyes and cringe when I hear it. Why do I hate it so much? Because its an overused term that has no clear definition. Therefore, it gets used inappropriately and more often than not its hugely unwarranted. These days, if I disagree with someone, I don’t just have a differing opinion … I’m actually a “hater”. I mean, I’m a blunt person. I ALWAYS call it like I see it. Even if I’m at fault or if I’m the one out of line. I don’t point my finger but avoid the mirror. That would make me a hypocrite. One thing no one can ever call me is a hypocrite. I’m also very truthful. If I tell you something, and it offends you, don’t call me a hater because I’ve hurt your feelings. Call me a brutally honest person, take your shit and keep it moving. I understand this isn’t easy for some people. No one likes to hear the truth.

I suppose maybe the delivery of a statement is what one can use to accurately call someone a hater. I mean, if I say, “Gotdamn, you’re a fat bitch!”, and you really are, does that make me a hater? No. It may make me rude as hell because I added in the word bitch but had I said “Oh my! Arent you pleasantly plump?” would that make me NOT a hater? I mean, out of both statements, I think I sound more like an asshole in the latter. But that’s just my opinion. I prefer to be blunt and upfront with it. And calling someone “pleasantly plump” really isn’t something I’d say anyway. Quite out of character.

Why do “haters” have to always be jealous of you or your life? I mean, my life isn’t the super duper greatest but in no way am I complaining. I’m happy with mine. If I make a comment about yours PLEASE don’t respond with “don’t hate” .. And if you do it with the rolling of your eyes AND neck, I will slap the eyes out yo’ head. It’s NOT hate to tell the truth, gosh darn it! It’s not hate. Trust me. It’s only hate because you don’t see the truth and you’re in denial.

I don’t sugarcoat things, OK? I tell it like it is. I do this because I want the same thing in return. I don’t think this makes me a bad person. I don’t always use my truthful nature to say BAD things, I also use it to be positive and give advice when and if I’m asked. I just think the term hater has become redundant. It no longer serves a purpose. (Did it ever?) I mean, if I don’t like your kind of music I’m a hater. If I don’t like Kobe I’m a hater. If I prefer Venus over Serena I’m a hater. Come on. What happened to just having a clear difference of opinion? I don’t understand why a label has to be put on any and everything. But I suppose this is the way of the world, no?

I removed “hater” from my vocabulary a good while ago. Completely. And you should, too. Especially once you graduate highschool. Gosh.

AGE AINT NUTHIN' BUT A NUMBER...

KEITH MURRAY/18 YEARS OLD

BIG BOI AND ANDRE/ BOTH 19 YEARS OLD

BIGGIE/ 17 YEARS OLD

NAS/ 19 YEARS OLD


i've been giving the excuse to some of the people in the game to day that "they are only 17/18" or whatever. but look at these artist above when they were teens. they were: 1. rapping better than their peers and 2. rapping better than some niggas OLDER than them. people, yall need to SERIOUSLY step yall game up. for real. age is no longer an excuse
