I dont know, wordpress is trippin right now and wont let me put these videos up and im too tired to give a fuck right now, but i already posted this post so just peep the videos i woulda posted here on youtube and have a ball. now on to the post.
I been grindin for finals since around like the end of April and feel like most (emphasize most, not all) posts ive put up here have reflected that, but shit that’s how it be i guess. i haven’t been paying much attention to anything or going out that much at all. no matter the price of gas i put $10 (of credit) in that muhfuckin gas tank, and save that shit for either a friday or a saturday when i might need to be driving to kick it and then i hop in someone else’s whip the next night. that’s how the shit be in a recession…AND Cali just officially announced it’s a drought goin’ on too!
Man, forreal, all i’ve been doing is staying up all day and night and reading about Macroeconomics and trying to learn 1/2 a semester’s worth of shit in 3 days/nights so that i may be able to pass my finals and write this paper. It doesn’t help the self esteem at all knowing that i aint got no money and then on top of that reading and writing about recessions and credit loans and bullshit like that every day. but i guess at least i know a little bit about that stuff now.
Anyways, i guess this is kind of a little delirious vent to whoever checks this page (Colin, KChedda and a few other great people, haha) about where my head has been and hasnt been and its really only halfway into this very post as of right now, but like the title says i’m hella burnt out and need to pass out at like 10pm and that’s INCREDIBLY early for me. I just wanted to do this post because i got a little bit excited cuz C-Dubb told me that he had just watched the N2Deep – Back to the Hotel video on youtube and told me to watch it, so i did, got juiced, watched the MC Breed – Ain’t No Future In Yo Frontin video right after that and was lovin every minute of it. See, this is one of the reasons i still HAVE to have lyrics in my life to make it complete, cuz even tho MC Breed aint talkin about a lot in his song he actually REALLY IS. Not like hella the popular shit now. I’m pretty happy i grew up in the era of rap that i did, not that i dont think and know that it is getting MUCH better as of late, there’s just some incredibly dope shit about the early to mid 90s era (WEST COAST in particular) shit. it aint hella epic and everybody needing the most expensive ass shit. its muhfuckas in non pro-fit caps with their names on it and sweatshirts and regular ass beer and shit that is normal to me, not jay z rappin about humidors in his car and shit. haha. aw man, and i love jay z but damn cuz. enough with this rant and onto the videos. peace, piece, paz. g.slavename (shout to C++ for that one!).
MC BREED – Aint No Future in Yo Frontin’. got damn, what a real ass song title. (“you leave it up to me i paint the white house black, it aint no future in yo frontin” what’s good Barack we waitin for the day! haha)
N2Deep – Back to the Hotel. They dont stop bobbin their heads once through the whole video, its great.
Domino – Sweet Potatoe Pie. Nuff said.
Gone.

Way to make it thru ur finals and thanks for the multiple shout-outs.
N2Deep “back to the Hotel” is one for the ages. Two whiteboys from the valley-joe lacin’ cats with game, is just ONE example of how unique and flavorful the bay is, and is a prime example of Hip-Hop being a voice for the voiceless (in this case, 2 working class, caucasian kids from urban Vallejo, California – I cant remember hearing from anyone that matches that description since this song dropped =P).
MC Breed. Damn. I aint thought about this man in quite some time. “Im the E-double, and I proclaim my name…” Good sh*t cuzcuz.
That school ish is mad rough towards the end, but remember that “it is always darkest before dawn.” (Apologies for using the term “dark” in the negative. I’m in the middle of the autobiography of Malcolm, and I just read the part where he’s talking about the dictionary and how it was written from a white supremacist frame of reference; how “Black,” meant evil, wicked, and unclean, & “White,” meant devoid of stain, clean, pure, perfect, “the opposite of black,” etc. =T) Sh*t always feels the most f*cked up before it feels great.
And while Im hoping Kobe doesnt take this statement into accord and win the next 3 games in LA, I hope you do. Because me and ur close homies realize (even if you arent able to now) that you are headed for crazy greatness and will be a shining example of the strength, wisdom and resilience that our (Hip-Hop) generation has to offer to the world.
Edumacated and sofisterated,
C+
p.s. Leon Powe’s a phenom yo.
