Hip Hop *IS* Who We Are.

I was about to spread the thighs/ but she surprised me when she said/ "oh like that? You know I don't get down"** /I know my homies gonna clown cause I let her stick around when/ ... She said... It'll be good if you stayed with me tonight so I granted her wish/.

Um. This week. Really for the last month I have been a 'onna pharcyde jawn. They represents a convergence of several of my life's elements.
Cali Slanguage.
An independent b-girl identity.
Jay D's grumbling soulful basslines.
'94.

All those issues were jumbled up and kickin' it together.
** When was the last time you heard a someone rap/discuss/ write about the politics of sexual interaction, INSTEAD OF ABOUT sex ITSELF!?!?!?!

Whats good blog family? Life is good and love is love. Shout out the the fam at Nah Right for giving me the CRAZY PLUG. I never let a statue tell me HOW NICE I AM.

I never let a statue tell me HOW NICE I AM/Comin' with more hits than the Braves and the Yankees/Livin mad phat like an over sized Bam-bi/The wackest
crews try to dis, it makes me laugh/When my track record`s longer than a DC-20
aircraft/So, next time that you think you want somethin here/Make somethin deffer, take that garbage to St. Elsewhere/.

Recognition from my peers re my-blog game made my cheeks blush, and I think Zora and James winked at me too.

I made it to the end of the semester even those some little shark bait a**ed nigg@s tried to snitch. That's cool though, because where I am from, and what I have seen, it will only make me come with more of a beast jawn. It hurt. Yup. I ain't gon' lie. But once I got over the pain of it, I realized that I need to aknowledge that not only do some people need to win, but the NEED TO ANNIHILILATE YOU TOO!

Peep the techinque about HOW POWER is PARLAYED in NEW YORK CITY AMONGST IT'S ELITE.

In the terminology of foreign affairs, influence is soft power—the ability to shift the course of events through ideas or relationships rather than coercion or enticement. Influence is Jacobs, holding no office and possessing no institutional leverage, inciting a bottom-up movement that stopped Moses in his tracks. Now, New York has always been obsessed with power: getting it, wielding it, harnessing it, and, most of all, keeping it.

Power is what Moses employed to historic effect for nearly 40 years. Influence, by contrast, is more subtle, more indirect, more de facto than de jure.

Instead, we look around and see an increasingly Jacobean city—a place where moguls, machers, pooh-bahs, and potentates are seeing their collective mojo rivaled by a newer class: the influentials.

That being taken into consideration, what is HIP HOP [IN NYC] about, if not POWER AND IT'S RESPECTIVE DYNAMICS & BENEFITS

Apparently Telegraph Ave is having 'prollems. Well, you can't have aggresive a*s HUMAN Punk ROCK kids sleeping and pan handling in front of stores and npot expect people to take their business ONLINE or to strip-malls closer to their homes. REAL TALK.

My horoscope is on point. Libra's stand up.

The leaves on the persimmon tree outside my door
are growing so fast I swear I can see them expanding right in front of my eyes. Like them, you are in a period of almost maniacal fertility. The ripening process is so
elemental that you may feel as if unpredictable forces of nature have been unleashed inside you. As long as you keep your sense of humor about it, however, nothing too out-of-control will happen. At worst, you'll resemble a funny monster with a brilliant future, like an awkward kid destined to grow up to be a cute genius.

NY Times rape case.

The report applauded Dr. Brodhead's "personal commitment to address all of the issues" and found no effort to cover up the incident or to deceive anyone. But it found problems with how the investigation, involving a student at nearby North Carolina Central University who had been hired to dance at a party for the lacrosse team, had been handled from the beginning. The two experts said
that although the Duke police knew that the woman, who had been taken to the emergency room of Duke University Hospital, is black and that the players she
said had assaulted her are white, "information about her race and about racial aspects of the case did not reach key administrators" including Dr. Brodhead
until March 24, 10 days after the party.

Duke said they were just lissening to the Po Po. They figgerd that po po said the case would go away, THEN the case would GO AWAY.
