About Me

"Who's that?" -------------------------------------"White Mike," was the standard response on Lower Sproul "Students 4Hip-Hop" open mics. ----------------------------DJ Icewater, Rodney, told me, "You're White Mic. You got Black Rob, you're White Mic." ---------------------------Well, I like to keep it laid back. First music I ever heard was elementary school friends singing the lyrics to "Look What the Cat Dragged In" on the rainbow bars. CC's still the man. Then I heard my friend Gabe Cohen (r.i.p.) rhyming Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere" through a whole playground basketball game in 5th grade, and I was hooked to hip-hop. God knows why, I'm a white boy from the burbs of scarsdale, ny. Something got in our water that day or something. In 9th grade I remember watching the green faces on Low End Theory spinning around into a swirl for most of the year, my first cd to put into my little cd walkman in my Bradley Rd. attic room. I guess it's been on from there ever since... --------------------------- I'm an 11th grade English teacher at South Bronx High School, in a small school called Mott Haven Village. I coach the South Bronx JV Boys Basketball team and assist the Varsity.
