Just Because I Can: "Rap Phenomenon" by the Notorious B.I.G.

It's been a minute. Lots has happened. RIP to Whitney Houston. She's off to teach angels to sing. Lady put it down, so salute to her.

But back to business. Another person who inspired every cypher I've ever been in, while three people who inspired all QUALITY lyrics. Big ups to the Shaolin Island, Da Bricks, and Bedford Stuyvesant, the livest one...

Love. Peace. And SOOOOOOOOOOOUL!!!

"Love...Peace....and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL!"

     As an 80's baby with a great memory, one of the most resounding memories I have are Saturday mornings. While I didn't know then, these weekend mornings and afternoons would be some of the most resounding memories I have. It's not hard to tell why. I remember playing with my Transformers while trying to be Vic's shadow.

"You ain't bout that life...."

 "Freeway Ricky Ross. The Real One."

    Don't get me wrong. I love both rappers Philly Freeway and Rick "The Bawse" Ross. One, is a super dope lyricist that used a moniker that was a nickname, while not adhering to the nickname he borrowed. The other, well, you know the story. Former nice guy/corrections officer takes the actual NAME of a notorious narcotic distributor and hits the culture by storm with raps about moving units and kilos, while maintaining active distribution drug connects. Now I'm not going to make this about knocking lying rappers. It'd be like calling a toddler for double dribbling; too easy. And why lie? I do like "Officer Ricky" and that whole MMG imprint. They are incredibly dope. Super beats. Meek Mill, Ross and Wale are talented as hell.
