Commercial rap, get the gun clap, day after day

Look inside of the mind and see
Cause you might be trapped with a nigga like me

-Buckshot of Black Moon on Slave from the Enta the Stage LP

I can get with this dude's thoughts on musical tastes and Paula Zahn's interviewing skills.

But I damn sure cannot get with a Black male grad student busting off on campus. Are you fuqing kidding me?

But Jordan's first-hand words left me speechless.


I have been BSn all weekend. I didn't muster up much energy to get and do much of anything. I didn't make it down to NYC for the wedding or the parade..and I still need to find a ride for 2G to come up to the Bean. I did, however, clean the crib in anticipation of her visit and did a littl bit of shopping yesterday. Let me say that Building 19 and Ocean State Job Lot are some great businesses that I can see myself supporting more often. I need to pull away from the targets and Wal-Marts of the world. I'm trying to be all decorative and so I copped a futon cover and rug to math m olive walls. But that just sounds so fruity that I think I need to go play some ball right now just o get the taste out of my mouth.

But I have done a lot of thinking this weekend about some immediate tasks I need to accomplish (aside from work) to get some things focused. I need to start booking some speaking engagements like I used to back in the day. I'm not even trying to get paid or anything - I can't really explain it - it's just something I need to be doing; for me. And this conference just gave me an idea for a workshop. As much as I get on Jay-Z for recyling rhymes, I'm going to have to be a biter for today. It's a topic I have yet to encounter in a formal presentation...and if it's ain't in existence, I'll be damned if I'm gonna wait idly for a mufuqa to get it poppin.

Aside from all of that, I fnd myself debating whether to write something and hit up the Lizard Loung tonight or venture to the Emerald Isle for Corey's comedy show. Decisions. Decisions. Plus, I still need to go out and cop some stuff for the crib and play some ball, too. I really, really need to start doing those to-do lists again. I guess I'll get it together eventually.
