So in my monthly dose of BET...

I happened to see this.. And this Happens to be my favorite shit (as of right now)..
Ride this wave wit me yall.
[oh and thanx bet for 5 min well 30mins of quality footage of access granted for this vid]


They Samplin' Mawfukin Jodeci!!, I couldnt believe it!! I heard this song a couple times prior to seeing the vid, but even then.. I felt so old that a group i was coming up with is now getting sampled.Jodeci is my all time favorite RnB group, so when I heard KC droppin the chorus to 'Cry For You' It was straight swang-n-bang in tha whip, you already know. I actually, when i heard the beat, hoped for a mixtape that would actually blend the original song and the beat to Bun's song together- that would be so live.. (anywayz) Its a good regional song, you know, feel good music.. make you feel proud to be where you from. My hood aint the same no more, but it made me think of all the NYC reppin time hits that came from up top.

I had seen Da Pimp(C) in '06 for my Birthday out here in Austin. RIP.. [a little background: I been in the south for while between military school (SC) and I stayed in the A(TL) for about a year when i was trying to set up shop out there. I moved back to SC (wit my bf)when things got rough for me out there in the A. Been in TX since '04 so you know this is 'home' right now. So i have (young)roots in the south, but i been here, for a while. Its a love/hate affair but it is what it is.] My city, as i came up always repped for their's and the south, as far as hip hop goes (against the world), is one and i love when they get the 1st team guys to stand up.. Alot of people dont know the TX hip hop story and boy you dont even have to ask around to have it drilled in your ear lol.. But Pimp was definately a forefather out here and he got a presence about him when he performed, when you were around him.. Its really captivating. I guess I can understand how some of the wine sippers these days can still talk about what they felt at a Prince concert lol..

I know im babbling but all them thoughts along with going back with Jodeci. I had to put this on here cuzz its me and I fux wit all them boyz. Man I gotta put on for my city shit!

Who yall bumpin from tha south?
