25 Random Rap-Related Things About Me

Middle school was a confusing time for me

So I guess Examiner is trying not to be a blog. WTF? Anyway, I was advised to alter this and I ended up doing a new list altogether for Examiner that’s just a bit dry. Here’s the original list, in all its idiocy:

1. The first hip-hop record that I knew words to and more or less loved was Puff Daddy & The Family’s No Way Out.

2. And yes, I used to think Puff Daddy was the greatest rapper alive, even though I couldn’t distinguish his voice from that of his protege, Mase.

3. This may come as a shocker, but after that, I start cussing a hell of a lot more.

4. Pootie Tang, the movie based on a recurring skit from The Chris Rock Show, is my favorite movie in the world. Period.

5. After I met The Roots and got drummer/bandleader ?uestlove and frontman/rapper Black Thought to sign my copy of their third album, Illadelph Halflife, I ran through the halls, squealing like a little girl. Literally.

Now we sip champagne when we thirsty!

Alright, not champagne, because that’s for sissies, but we drankin gully-ass St. Ides 40s tonight, son! If only to recall a simpler time when hip-hop was still innocent and pure:

And now, a birthday wishlist/life bucket list, in no particular order, with some rambling after the jump.

Bonetism > Baduizm

I stayed home on Friday night and watched TV. This makes it sooooooo worth it. I’m glad to know Chris Rock was sprung off Denise Huxtable/Lisa Bonet too. I wonder what would’ve happened if she had had a fetish for rappers like Erykah does. Would we have had more Electric Circuses and Love Belows or more Felts? Oh, we can only dream …
