. Hip Hop .
...the art,
the expression,
the culture...
...but GOOD music is GOOD music--
dont' get it twisted.
I love spooning.......tres leches...and Oreo Ice Cream.
I draw whenever I get writer's block.
It helps.
Can someone please talk about religion, politics, or anything else as troublesome because, frankly, I would like to know what you think.
I will kick your ASS in any Tekken game.
ANY.
Seriously.
YEAH, I write poetry...and WHAT!?!?!
And I rap better than you.
I'd like to meet:
Hey!
Shannyn Sossamon.
"I...love you?"
Suheir Hammad. Check under TV to hear why...
True, RAW talent...and a beautiful soul--Lauryn Hill.
The greatest Hip Hop act EVER-- A Tribe Called Quest!
Angelina Jolie...just...yeah.
Russell Simmons...so I can shake his hand and thank him.
Music:
R.I.P.
1974 - 2006
From a Tribe to a Village-- J Dilla will be missed but his champion sound will never be forgotten in Hip Hop.
From Okayplayer.com :
"We have lost one of the greatest producers of all time, period. That fact is not even up for debate. For us fans and for those that were lucky enough to know Dilla, this is a tough pill to swallow. What makes it worse is knowing that the majority of the hip hop world will not mourn this loss like those in our community. We can only hope that one day the world will know his music the way die hard Dilla fans do, and he will posthumously recieve the respect and admiration that his influence commands. RIP Dilla Dog."
