Pokey, raise up.

I talked to my main man TyTy the other day. He seems to be doing well. He also told me that he's been keeping shit far too gangster on the Southside of Illinois. Just for me.

The Realness.

I enjoy reading the comments on YouTube more than I like watching videos. Once in a while you find a gem of a post. Here's one taken from Jay-Z's "Run This Town" video:

nobody is whining...just trying to wake you people up...because you have absolutely no clue whats goin on in the music industry...believe that...this is highly satanic...sheeple wake the fuck up...YOU ALL LIVE IN A SMALL IGNORANT BOX...THERE IS SO MUCH GOIN ON IN THE WORLD YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT... and the only thing you people do is working and watch TV and admire your idols...so sad


I'm not sure YouTube comments are the best forum to voice this opinion. But thuglife84xxx is just trying to keep it real. Ha.

My Posse.

Steve Harvey once talked about how many people are on stage at rap shows. He talked about the confusion that takes place when trying to figure out which knucklehead is the person you came to watch. He was absolutely right. The Temptations only used one mic. How many do you think they got going on at this concert?

At this point why even have a stage? They should have just had a party and passed out microphones and told everyone to scream a word or two of the lyrics, hell, even some random shit would have probably worked. This is Hip-Hop at its very finest.

Here is a list of things I like about Boston:

-Marty

Patrick Kane.

If you know anything about me, you know I am passionate about hating certain things. What tops that hate-filled list? Hillbillies. Ha. Obviously I really just hate their ignorance. Hillbillies aren't necessarily white and poor, they can be rich and asian (is that the exact opposite of white and poor? or would the exact opposite be Gucci Mane?). I often find that people who are "upper class" indeed have no class at all. They are just plain ol' hillbillies. Patrick Kane is not an exception.

I once read that what makes us human is our ability to justify anything we do, no matter how hillbilly it is. I don't think that is the only thing that makes us different than other animals (see "creepiness") but I can see how this is the case in Patrick Kane's scenario. The past few days people have been going around saying, "Well he's only 20, let the kid make some mistakes." If a 20 year old pulled down his pants in the corner of a room at a family party and took a piss, people would not make excuses for him. He would just be labeled a "hillbilly." Or "one of us" if you are in the Southern states. To me, this hypothetical situation is comparable to Patrick Kane beating a 62 year-old fellow hillbilly. When I was 20, I had enough sense to not go around beating 62 year-olds over a couple of dimes. We ask 18 year-olds to fight in the military, to aim guns at brown people and shoot if necessary. Most have enough sense to shoot at things that may cause harm. I very much doubt they would lose sleep over four nickels.

No doubt Patrick Kane is a hillbilly. Everyone knows that but hell, the kid can play. Like everyone else I don't think the problem lies with him. Unlike everyone else I think the problem lies within us. When hillbillies attack, we sit around and act just as hillbilly as them by saying, "Well he's only 20." By justifying stupidity and ignorance, we in turn become the hillbillies. And no doubt, most of you reading this surely fall under this category. Patrick Kane's hillbilly rage got the best of him over 20 cents. All he really needed was 2.
