Rakim was SICK!!!

NO, for real, the 18th letter had the flu but still graced us Baltimorons with his presence. The opening acts had way more enery and kept the crowd hype.( It was OGUN and this dude naamed Salim, This was another one of those shows were only the real hip hop heads were out. Remember earlier when he didnt show up with Ghost. He apologized and promised us we were in for a treat. When you really think about it how much energy could a mellow smooth brother thats laid back such as the "R" bring?

It was a great trip down memory lane. I usually never sing along with MC's but this was Rakim Allah. He started off the hit, "I came in the door...." the crowd finished the rest of the song. What more could an MC want. At one point he sat down and asked us what song we wanted to hear. The crowd answered with at least 10 different songs from Mahoganoy to Eric B for President to Juice to Let the Rhythm Hit'em.

Rakim has some new material and thats when I remembered how much I cant stand the Sonars sound system (Shut up JO) and to be totally honest, I wasnt interested in hearing any new material from arguably one of the greatest to ever do it. You need a nice quiet corner of the world to really appreciate Rakim lyrics for the first time. OK ima get those links up for the other MC's tonight.

I was gone for a minute but now Im back with the Jump Off !!

Whats going on peops. Havent been on in a minute with work and all. Instead of being the moocher I decided to hook up the dinner this year for the fam. How hard could it be to slap a turkey in the oven and have a few sides for the fam right? Well, I had no friggin idea what I was getting myself into. Had to clean the crib, buy all the food and then cook it. I have vegetarian cousins, I have family members who dont like family members. I have old and not so old family members who still consider me to be the little scootermonk from like 25 years ago. I have family members who drink like we are still in prohabition.(sp) I have family members who have ex's that other family members dont like but dont get the hint and still come through anyway. My family is brutal when it comes to cracking jokes and if you show one sign of sensitivity about anything then its on and popping. They thrive on signs of weakness and pounce like that tiger in San Fransico. (my bad that was mean)All that to say when your the host you have to carefully orchestrate the whole shing-ding. I have much more respect for my aunts and uncles who pulled it off without a hitch all those years before. In the end all was well. We even ended up doing all the line dances known to man and I think everbody had a goodtime. I wont find out until next year how good I did. The plus is after all was said and done I have lefover food for a year and enough liquor for whoevers New Years party get graced with my presence. Good looking to my little sister for the collard greens and Ma- Dukes for the rolls.

P.S. I situated my computer at work for optimal privavcy so im back in EFFECT (in your best Rakim voice) Peace to my girl Shae-Shae.

Knee-Gro Pahleese!!

adjective
boughie

Boughie comes from the word bourgeois. Bourgeois is "Preoccupied with respectability and material values" according to Webster's College II dictionary. The term refers to a social group in Marxist theory opposed to the proletariat (the poor common people) in the class struggle. A boughie person acts as if they are a part of the ruling class, rich, even if they aren't. In other words: stuck up, too good for something, materialistic. Well you can stop acting boughie, asking for sushi

This word is so funny and most of the people who Ive asked for the definition say black people who forget where they came from or black people who think they are better then other people. KNEE-GRO PAHLEESE - My mom is boughie because she wouldnt let me play over at Spiceberry apartments with my school friends. Was she looking down on them or maybe looking out for her sons safety? ( Any kid knows you have more fun plying in the Jects) Maybe I am boughie because I used to hang on the corner and drink 40's with my boys Tone, TJ Aub and Ro-Ro, but now I chill in the living room and drink Carona's by the caseload while watching SVU or smackin up my son and anybody else in Wii bowling. My father called me boughie because I passed on some fried chicken. Well dad, remember when the Dr. said no more fried foods after you had that heart-attack. Remember that? It would seem that this word has no true definition but more a perception of what you or someone else thinks of you.
