...This shit's hot...consider it copped

alas...

So, when i decided to come to college station [read: middle of nowhere] texas for grad school i thought i knew what i was getting into. I knew it would be a shock moving from Chicago where theres ALWAYS somethin to get into



to here...where they turn off the streetlights at midnight



but i figured...if i focus on school and all the other projects i have goin on (like im a tell yall) and take trips whenever i can i can hack it. Most times it's decent. I have music, movies, turntables, books, and a group of friends that get me by But...in the past year there have been certain times where i wish i could just BE somewhere else...I wont catalog all of them but I'll give you the most recent incident.

So...ive decided to stop ripping music from the internet and actually waiting until release dates and buying the actual albums from the stores. Something about this culture of instant gratifyication and remembering that patience is a virtue blah blah blah...so all my friends are raving about how Little Brother's album GetBack is soooooooooo illy right!?



So the day comes...October 23rd and I take my ass to bestbuy...ITS NOT THERE

Yo im walkin around the music section like its some kinda joke. I look in EVERY isle; even showtunes and country music. Shit...i even check the DVD releases...nothing. And when i ask a sales associate...he has NO IDEA who or what "a little brother" is. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn sun. So then i call target and all the other stores in the area...NOTHING. I mean wowzers...First they bring Soulja Boy down here to perform...now they DONT carry Little Brother...this is officially Hip Hop Hell.

you ever been in hell...its kinda like this...but in a a bad way...take it Faith

So here it goes..."I think about the youth and how they're minds are so closed/ cause today rap city look like video soul" ~Phonte

I bet most of you dont even know what video soul is...that saddens me

This over-gangster/dopeboy/pimp/ shit is really really really getting tiring. After seeing students come out of the biological sciences building singing "Im soooo hood" I wonder if these rappers realize that nobody is really taking them seriously. Somebody tell me what's hood about DJ Khaled, homie looks like a penguin. I mean, soulja boy can "crank dat" because he's 17. You grown ass men playing dress up makes your videos look like a costume party; 30 cars, 40 chains, shiny shades, blah blah blah. YO...i just came to the realization that niggas is still SAGGIN out here...REALLY? That shit aint fly sun. Oh and for the record...I dont care how much Ed Hardy costs...I know the work of a bdazzler when i see it; you gettin gypped! Take it off.

Back to the videos...now to the format...ooooooo lawd the format: hood scene; club scene; "perfomance" (read: ass shakin) scene; mix; repeat...and then put another song on the end. NOTE: if its a "love song;" make sure you show the rapper and his chosen hood rat going shopping and riding in a drop top (bitches love shopping and drop tops). That shit is so...the opposite of contrived; i'm going to start directing videos!
