Warning:
It's another rant blogging today, because I feel very frustrated against the "kids n' toys" in my social circle.
So the other day the person in charge of a local b-boy in my area (which I usually DJ for) came up to me and say "Hey, you've really improved in your DJing... ever since you've went to Georgia somethin changed..." Now most of you might say "Wouldn't/shouldn't that be a compliment?" Instead - of the 3 perspectives I see, the 2 as insults. Why? Because a.) I've been playing music off of a really large set of playlist which many of those b-boy toys could dance to. (which mind you, I have not update it since I first received it, only grouped it to my likings) Also if I ever played an alternative or "djing it old school" those self proclaimed b-boys can't get down. Many of you will say I'm just plain arrogant, but homie please - I've tried dancing and I can dance to almost any tunes even without drums (just plain old bassline filled tracks), the trick? Just find the rhythm. And once again, sadly they constantly ask me to play a track when I have "Living In America" playing, did I mention once this kid claim that song isn't James Brown? Dumbass.
Goin back to my original point b.) The style/way I've been playing my tracks, with exception to my equipment changes has always been the same. Maybe with minimal improvements, but the routine has always been the same. So either this toolbag for a fool is actually insulting my skills, absolutely oblivious, or he simply thinks...
Last but not least c.) I simply don't like him. Simple right? He owes me $180 and the last time we've talked about it, he blew up and called me selfish. Yes I am. But hey $180 is small money compared to where his future's heading. Let it be a gift for his remaining fun years. The next song is a sample source for the Wu Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M. (for my none/starter hip hop readers).
Also let me do a shout out to my friend Rachana for being so patient with my introduction blog to hip hop.

It Really Saddens Me...
Yes, for the ones who really knows me, I'm always discontent . Be it materialism or the people I usually deal with. It's a sad world we live in. Because no one can see signs.
It's different for everybody how or what they see. But from what I know most people miss the big picture, and some miss the important details. Or in many cases, those people miss both! But I won't focus on their downfalls, instead let's look at the days where MTV actually showed decent shows of what the "rap" (or MCing) form of hip hop was really about. This was the last show where many of the influential artists came in to say goodbye.
Another example of how hip hop was back in the day.
There are more examples of old school hip hop (much too many). But overall people should do their diggings back to the origins of hip hop to be educated. Since It's only natural we learn about our past.
