I did, however, learn my lesson after she slashed me with some scissors, but that's another story.

I think the time for that story is now. What the hell happened?

:lol

Basically, she was tripping off Xanex somehow and locked herself in the bathroom. I found out, confronted her through the door. Ended up saying we were done since I don't like druggies, which was a bad idea. She comes out, starts flipping her shit. Whips out some scissors she had on her(no idea wtf they came from since she had on vball shorts) and started cutting her arm. I tried to stop her, which led to her slashing at me. Got me on my right hand a few times, then got me good on my left shoulder going all the way down to my left pectoral. It actually kind of looks cool all healed up now, but yeah, that was the end of that relationship :p

Damn! What brought her back down to earth? I'd imagine that it was hard not to do something forceful to her after that.

that had to be a solid 5 years ago. maybe 6. Okay, not long enough ago to be old skool. just felt like a really long time ago for some reason.

I remember the first time I heard the song to. at a NSBE leadership conference. Everyone from the Bay got in a bigass circle on some African type tribal dance shit and started banging their heads and bugging out. I was inspired. :lol

I can't be the only one who thinks E-40 has a goofy voice. I'm not even commenting on his lyrical talent or rapping ability. I'm just saying . . . he sounds goofy

My Ghetto Repoirt Card came out in 2006
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Ghetto_Report_Card

it's almost 5 years ago at this point.

You know I met both E-40 & B-Legit. they are both HUGE fuckin people.
I'm 5'11" 220lbs and they made me feel(and look) really fuckin small.

and I think E-40 mainstream problem is not his voice, but his vocabulary. It's hard to keep up with him if your not up on the E Feezy vernacular.

Naw from Seattle.. The Port.

But Bay rappers have deep ties with Washington..

C-Bo and the Click were always up there.

D-Shot had a studio in Tacoma..

The shame is heavy... but Lupe.

Even though that just means that his bitchassness will prevail. I love to hear him rap, but goddamn he turned out to be a self-absorbed punk.
Click to expand...

I know what you mean. Lupe's probably my favorite lyricist period aside from Nas, but his attitude is pretty ... yeah. Glad Lasers has a release date and we'll get a single next week.

Another rapper that I want to get recognized more is Blu.

Blu.

God YES.

Below the Heavens is probably the best rap album I've listened to in the last 5 years...I don't know what his deal is with releases, though.

Too many talented kids in the rap game get caught up in the whole backpack vs. commercial matrix and never get on point with things. For every Lupe Fiasco (and even he is fucking himself up in the battle to stay "authentic"), you have a million Blu/Mickey Factz/Charles Hamiltons.

Well no shit. Thats like saying ODB had a goofy voice. Its part of his appeal bro. You're not supposed to take his raps seriously like he's Common or something. He's a party rapper.

Best album of that year.

And I had a huge Lupe bias at the time.

Yeah I was gunna say that. It surprised the hell outta me. The Cool is a good album and all, but Below the Heavens is just something else. It was a huge breath of fresh air, and it came from a West Coast MC to boot.

I have different standards depending on genre.

For hip hop, I have ridiculous standards when it comes to lyrics, themes, and content. I treat it like poetry, basically.

Just go listen to the album already.

So black-gaf or African gaf.
Has this ever happened to you?
I just got offered a marriage proposal ( as in, marry my daughter please), and this isn't the first time either.
My answer?
I just laugh it off and tell them to talk to my mom about it. "That end of the business is handled by my mom".

My mom talks to me, in a way where she's implying I should get married.
Actually, my mother told me just a few days ago that if I haven't settled down by the time I'm 23 ( that's 1.5 to 2 years from now), she will 'force' me to marry.


So black-gaf, I might not be in the game for long any more. :(

Um... hmmm. I never listened to any Lady Gaga songs outside of one of her early performances before she became strange. I guess I'll have to check her out now if that comparison is valid.
