Lookin Ass Nigga- er, I mean 'Lookin Boy'

They finally came out with a video for the song...

So surprised that it made the radio- even got a video!
But whatever...it's positive...i think it's hip hop.
Needs a better video..lol.
It's different from Yung Joc's ususal Boys N The Hood theme...
I like it.

Peace & Blessings

So they found the PICTURE!

So someone sent Shawty Lo the picture!!

Now who was the random phene who popped out talking about "You shouldn't had said nobody name, TIP!"
LMAO
It's kinda getting old now, Shawty Lo...leave it alone.
We all know he's not from Bankhead now...lol.
Stop the talking and interviews, and start the battling! What happened to the hip hop battle!

I'll keep ya'll updated, though.

So Beautiful...

I woke up due to the sun peeking in on me with a smile…
It’s smile caused me to smile...
Then turning to see her beside me just widened it.
She was So Beautiful...
So Beautiful was laying in bed beside me.
As I gazed at her, I seriously wonderd how God could create such a creature- and if he made her specifically for me.
I sure hoped so...
Her hair was wild, dark, curly and all over the place just like her personality...

I snickered as I thought of her quirky ways.

The things she used to say that just made me laugh so hard...
I don't laugh that hard unless I'm with her.
She amuses me in every way possible...
Her lips...oh, how I wanted to just taste them at that exact second...Her sweet peach lips that were slightly parted- I guess as a passage for air...
Her beautiful skin that wasn't perfect, but the minor imperfections just made her even more perfect for me...
If I wanted a Barbiedoll, I would go to Wal-Mart.
She glowed next to me...and caused me to glow
- on the inside.
I wondered if others saw her the way I did...
I doubted it.
Men threw themselves at her and tried to tell her all kinds of things to strike an interest, due to the way she looked. They said they loved her without even knowing her, they said they wanted to get to know her without even seeing her...

for her.

They just saw her as something to ease their lust...
They just saw her legs, breasts, hair, face...

they didn't know her.
I knew her. I know her.
Inside and out.
I knew her likes, dislikes, what she loved, what she hated, what she cried for, and what made her smile...
I knew the place on her head that she loved for me to rub the most.
I knew her...

I know her.
I saw her as gorgeous as she could be even when she wasn't trying to be gorgeous...

At the beginning of the day,

and the end of the night,

where women's make-up has faded,

jean creases have ceased,

and hair curls have tired out,

I saw her beauty.
As she wakes up and smiles at me, I look away shyly.
I'm caught- once again.
I stare into her eyes- the doorway to her soul, and savor the color

-the hue of Dissarono.
I smile, and then start to think about how I would love to wake up to this every morning...

of every day...

for the rest of my days...
But for now, I'll accept today.

She is So Beautiful...to me.

Peace & Blessings

Bankhead

Bored and trying to kill time the other day, my best friend and I drove through Bankhead- an infamous slum in Atlanta that the government is now trying to polish up. They changed its name to Hollowell Parkway, and have started to build nice condominiums and town homes in the area. Even though the government is trying to fix it up and make it look nice- which seems to be a nice idea, you still can smell the scent of the grime...the blood...the drugs...the hood.

You may have heard T.I. talk about life in Bankhead- the home of the "trap", or you may have heard Shawty Lo speak on growing up in Bowen Homes- selling cocaine...

Many people may ride through Bankhead and become disgusted at what they see, maybe turn up their noses- but I couldn't do anything but remain humble as thoughts of grief and sorrow flooded my mind. As I drove past young women with large bellies holding a baby, I felt I could just reach my hand out and tell her everything will be okay; warn her about the boys out there that claim their man enough to lay down, buy too boyish to stay around; tell her that her body is a temple- too precious to just let anybody enter and vandalize...but would she even listen to me- a pretty boy from Alpharetta? My best friend threw deuces at the floods of young black men in white tees that walked the streets. He may have been just simply greeting them out of respect, but as I pointed two fingers at them, I was reminding them that there could be peace in the world- peace in their world- reminding them that they didn't have to shoot or stab somebody for stepping on their shoes, or looking at them funny. Do you think that’s too ridiculous to happen? Turn on the news, or go to a club in that area...
As I drove through Bowen Homes, and a school bus drove into the project housing, a child stuck his head out of the window and started to yell, scream, and beat the side of the bus as he stared at the car I rode in. A lot of people may look at him as a crazy monkey child, and send him to the doctor to get him a prescription for Ridlin asap, but I honestly think I would work my patience to the last line trying to discipline him and make him behave. You have to have patience with children these days. So many people are giving up on the children, which is why they are acting like how they do. What else can they do when all they see are people’s backs turned to them? How else will they get the attention they need?
As we drove further down the street, I saw a girl that caught my eye- a young lady that looked like she had a faint indication of hope in her eyes, and our eyes connected. Yet her hope was violently snatched from her as the thug behind her who saw me looking offered her to me for a price…
“Ay, you want sum a dat? Come holla at me, shawty!”
We drove on…

We were playing some music in the car...a little Pastor Troy, Shawty Lo, you know- Atlanta based rappers, and I paid attention to the expressions of the children we drove by. Their faces changed at they heard the beat of the track coming from the car, and like a God, the music seemed to call onto them and control them. They would immediately start to rap the words of the song, and I wondered if they were as smart in school as they were when they memorized the words to their favorite rap songs. This is why I don't believe in ADD...but that's another story.

Seeing all of this was shocking, because since leaving New York years ago at the age of thirteen, I haven’t had the chance to see such things- and pay attention. For years, I haven't been this close. I live in a house that some people call huge, and have been around houses that are ten times the size of mine. Our schools are full of white people, and we don’t even have a Zone precinct. There are many people in my area who think they're gangsters and try so hard to prove it, while people in New York and Bankhead have no choice but to live like that at times…Where I live now, we hire people to keep our lawns nice and neat, and we get fines if we have a strand of grass out of place. In the hood the landscapes are so unkempt…

As I said, seeing these things may disgust and disturb many, but I just look at it as a reminder of how hard my mother works to provide for her childen, and how hard I need to work to make sure her invesments were worth it...I need to make sure she receives as much as she put in. If not, I'd be a failure...

Peace & Blessings

As the Battle for Bankhead continues...

Shawty Lo says he'll give some loot to anybody who can bring him a picture of T.I. in highschool, or any proof to show where he is REALLY from...
Also- T.I. Sittings Search Day 2

LMAO.
Honestly, I feel T.I. messed wiht the wrong one...
He started this beef...
How?
Check it...
Shawty Lo never said his name...or made any hints that he was speaking on T.I.
He even shouted out T.I. on the Dey Know remix:
"And I got them same kinda guns like T.I..."

You may think he was poking him on Dunn Dunn...
But "Mention Bankhead, better acknowledge me
What you blind, need some glasses to see?" was actually a line from his Bankhead remix that he put out on his I'm Da Man part 1 mixtape...he chopped it up, and threw it in the hook.
I guess Shawty Lo just hit a soft spot...because T.I . was the first to start mentioning names...
It must be two sides?
lol...

And I find it funny that he couldn't even respond to Gucci Mane's lame ass diss!

T.I. is a great lyricist...amazing...but as far as swag and realness...idk...
can T.I. go to the hood like this and be as comfortable?

Peace & Blessings

Everyone Nose music video!

Finally...it has been released!
I'm not too fond of the subject (cocaine), but the song is heatery...I can't wait until the album drops.
I wanna go to a party like that...anybody with me? Some of those girls were kinda hmmhmmm! lol
Did you see shorty's tattoo on her fists? "Love Life"...MY type of crowd.

And you know we had to do a remix!
A hot remix is an understatement...
check it out: http://www.zshare.net/audio/11964185e79678c3/

They vibe to the remix in the studio...

This.
Is.
Music.

These days artists like to just send a file around, and you record your verse in your studio, and send it back.
I love how THEY did it...all in the studio at one time, chemistry mixing.
You can feel the unity, the love...
I love it!

While you're at it, peep Spaz- their second single
