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.
