Activities Fair Today

Great Turnout for the Club I love: MPC (Modern Day Poets & Composers for those of you still sleeping)

Lots of people showed us support today at school.

Simon did his thing on the 1's and 2's.

And people actually showed up at Lunch, which was equally dope.

Peace

Hip Hop Quotable #6 The Grand Return

"Uh, I get up.
Read the mornin' paper,
Kiss my baby girl.
Tell my lady friend I'm gone till I save the world.
Jump in my hotrod wheel,
Lookin' super thorough.
Rockin' a long black cape like the Duke of Earl.
My cool don't drop,
I spit where the future twirl.
I smash glass in my hands to produce a pearl.
I do the james on stage, then I do the ??.
You can tell I'm bonafide live, cuz I'm too fo' real.
So the truth prevail, I never fail.
Ask me to key the blaze in the trail.
I never tell,
Like the digits on the check in the mail.
I give 'em hell,
With the clever rhymes in the squad situated ??.
White on white ?? throwin' elbows.
You wanna holla, you can do the rebel yell bro.
I'm not concerned,
When will y'all learn.
Roots Crew muthafuckas,
It's the Grand Return."

"The Grand Return" The Roots (Bonus Track on Rising Down)
Had to post the whole verse to this song because its BLACK THOUGHT by way of The Legendary Roots Crew and the whole song is like 2 1/2 minutes.

Hip Hop Quotable #5

"I got lyrical ability, to bring ya hot shit
I swat so many cats, it's raining birds
Cause I'm cold as ice, forget the ice in ya watch, kid
Spit more flames than the back of a rocket
Mic check, one-two, linin' up my targets
I be the mad man in front of the cam
That be stealing ya fans, yup, up on the red carpet
Make more connections than Nextel, ring the bell
On first connection, make ya fucking lips swell
Make more noise than a terrorist attack
I'm dangerous like anthrax, my voice burn up the wax
Against the way, I put my self up on the map
I'm a dope MC, I put the squeeze on the dope tracks
Body care free, on the dope tracks
A hundred round banana clip, leave you where you at"

Afu-Ra "Prankster"
I heard this song for the first time today, and thought it was dope.
So that's why it's here for you!

Hip Hop Quotable #4

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
Start repentin cause the endin is near
But don't, panic you can't function if you livin in fear
Pay attention you gotta listen to hear {"Wait just a minute"}
Who the fuck you think you talkin to?
Put you on hold, get a specialist to walk you through
Kweli, the flow captain to fast or slow rappin
I'm soul crackin, you ain't heard your shit appear like closed captions
King of the bars and I'm goin hardcores
All my confidence comes from knowin God's laws
Bangin on the system, fightin my kind of war
Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion's roar"

"...So while you try to keep it fresh you gettin deeper in the depth
Real hip-hop is missin from the shelf
Yep, it's what you felt when you listen to yourself
Only a few is makin cuts that finish
So before you spend your hard-earned spinach"

Talib Kweli "Listen" off his Eardrum Album
This song just sets it straight and lets everyone know Kweli is not the MC to fuck with.

Peace

So Close to "Nike", but so far away!!

Loyola's game against De La Salle was very good until the 4th quarter hit.

Maybe Pete Carroll's moving to De La Salle's side after halftime screwed our chances?

Who Knows?

We were so close though!

Final Score 21-27

Hip Hop Quotable #3

"I had nothin but I made somethin outta that
Now I'm the first out the limo like Charlie Mack
From 215 it's him the livest one
And he's representin Philly to the fullest
Blacks the realest
You can't touch him and not for nothin
If you bout hip hop then you gots to love it
If not then fuck it
I'm still handlin
Smokin more reefer than Redman and them damaging MC's
And my name's Rick Gees you endangered species"

Black Thought by way of The Roots- "Game Theory"

Pulse Was Alive!!

Just got back home from Loyola's First Dance, Pulse. It was really dope and filled me with a sense of nostalgia towards my freshmen days.

Thanks Lenny, Simon, and the rest of the Student Council for a very legit and memorable dance.

End of Another Week.

As the week of September 15th comes to an end, I sit back and reminisce.

Work work work
Play Play Play
Chill Chill Chill

Tryin' to stay up and do my thing.

Hip Hop Quotable #2

"Son is a, prob rob funds from ya publishin
While his dogs put his guns to ya like the Punisher
Or the Terminator, flow is harder than a German major midtermin paper
The kid burns the saber, strikin cats
How you want it? Gats, spike or bats
I know you likin that, stay sharper than Viking hats
Exhale, blowed mist, served you with a cold dish
Niggas vomitin, bowels moving, they can't hold piss
El and Royce, double team, hotter than a cup of steam
Tub ya spleen and bury you, just as deep as a submarine
Flawless, should be that very reason you applaud us
You saw us layin down a law just as raw as a crawfish
You met your death and although, I took away your breath and I ran
I still left wit a Grand like Theft Auto"

Elzhi "Motown 25" f/ Royce Da 5'9"

Hip Hop Quotable #1

"Peace to my Third World equivalent
Even I can't fight besides you, I write what I can
To get our fam in other lands to understand your pain
Because your beef is mine and we're one of the same"

Geo of Blue Scholars "Opening Salvo"

Peace to my good friend and Brother from another Mother, Lorenzo for starting the Lyric section of his blog.

Now this is just Fuckin' Racist.



Why can't Obama just like waffles for what they are (Food)?

Why does America and people who are racist just have to make everything a black or brown person does so stereotypical?

Whites are probably jealous because they don't have anything they can call their own like Blacks or Latinos.

FUCK This Racist Shit!!!

It's OK

Right Now, take a breath in and exhale as much stress as you can.

For me and others my age, this a very stressful time.

College is creeping up, senior grades and SAT/ACT's have to be the SHIT, extra curric's calling our names left and right. Doing everything to make one little something possible.

But no matter what, we will all end up where we need to be. It's Destiny!!!

Chill out to this dope song by Local Legend Blu f/ Myth of Strange Fruit Project and Definite.

Gettin Up

New Q-Tip!!


Q-Tip - Gettin' Up from Deviation on Vimeo.

USC Interview A Success!!!

So Today (9/12/08) at 2:00pm, I had an interview at USC with the Assistant Director of Admissions.

How did I do you may ask?

I BEASTED THAT SHIT!!

No, but seriously I did very well as was expected. A lot people at school were asking why I set it up in July so early?

Why the fuck wouldn't I set it up early? Scholarship money, hello!!!! Plus they get to know me before everyone else, so haha. To everyone who wasted their summer not thinking about college, this is me speeding ahead of you.

Although USC is not my first choice, it is up in the top 5.

So thanks to all those who wished me good luck, and thanks to all the haters out there because without you there would be no criticism!!!

My Version of A Milli (The Pasta Remix)

Hey If Lil' Wayne can do it, why can't I!!

A Milli (Pasta Remix)

Good Food
Ya Dig
Mac & Cheese I’m diggin’ in

I’m a Vermicellinaire
Some good ravioli cooking over there, tougher than angel hair
See my menu compared to yours Just isn’t fair
I like a plate of pasta smoking without the rasta
Told the waiter what I wanted and what was fine
Cause I won’t eat a dish that ain’t mine
Cause my wants, dreams, desires go to the almighty fire
And the almighty cook of dat pa pa pa pa pasta
From the sister brother son daughter father mother Jew eatin matzah
Got that Lasagna coolin on the stove scents poppin’
Tell the pasta haha haha you can’t eat me you can’t reach me
I go by them spoon rules
If you can’t eat em then you drop em
Pick up a fork and lock em
Salt em and then you chew em
Cuz we chew em like we eatin cumin.

Verse 2
A spaghetti plate here a spaghetti plate there
Sicilian dish with angel hair, Ragu flyin in the air
Like breathin the thinnest air I choose the Linguini
Hopin I get crackers with my soup, they say he do it so “Easy”
He’s a beast, but the least of our problems (psyche)
Ok you’re a vampire, but what’s a vampire to some garlic bread
Nothin Nothin you ain’t eatin nothin’
On some rain shit call him Dustin Hoffman
Call me what you want dish but don’t call me your sidekick
Don’t want it when it not my dish damn I hate fly dish
Don’t you hate a fly dish yeah I ate a fly dish
And it ain’t fly no more it changed its name to my dish
Yeah it figures cuz it’s my dish so when I think its funny and I’m through don’t be surprised dish
It ain’t dippin if you got it
But u like a dish with no sauce you ain’t got shit
Mother I’m Filled not sick
And I’m ok but my tongue hot
Yea my pants tight
Yea my mouth tired
And my gut full
I’m Filled

Last Night (09/06/08) LA Roaming

Last Night, Simon, Hugh, Paolo, and I met up with Andy, his brother, Antonio, and Fabio outside of Flock Shop LA in Chinatown.

The shop is a streetwear place with a couple dope things from wallets to hats, you get the point. So we decided just to go and walk around, which turned into interpreting everything out of some pictures trying to find our inner art critic.


Highlights of the Night:

Live Painting
DJ with some crazy beats
Hugh doing his thing in a Cipher

& Last but certainly not least

FREE KOREAN BBQ!!! Haha Ask me if you want to know how.

Palin Who?

Although I don't much about McCain's VP pick, Sarah Palin of Alaska, except the previously mentioned, public dissing without correct knowledge of one's opponent is the reason why our country is so fucked up right now.

Yeah Palin and McCain, I'm talking to you and I don't care if this is cliche', but yall will never give the Black Man or brown Man a chance. It's your loss cuz we can do great things too.

Obama 08'and 2012 let's go!!

(I turn 18 the day after the election)

Something you don't see everyday!

Snow in Africa!!

A freak hailstorm hit a small village in Kenya yesterday, September 3 2008, and gave the villagers something they probably have never seen before.

Everyone is entitled to at least one "snow day" in their lives.

Peace
