the song niggas from kamaiyah remind
me from the first time i heard freaky
tales.

i was 12 in the 7th grade a friend's
mixtape.

Born To Mack dropped the summer before the 10th grade. I copped right before school started and had to keep it hidden in my sock/underwear drawer 'cause if my moms found it she would have tossed it out.

"Where was the peace when we were getting shot? Where's the peace when we were getting laid out?
Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then?
They don't want to call for peace then.

I actually stood in line for his autograph. however far it is from MLK/PCH (V.I.P. Records in Long Beach) to Atlantic/PCH.

And lied to my momma about why I was late getting home.

Somewhat related, I heard "We Want Some Pussy" from 2LiveCrew when I was about 7.

I knew what they were talking about, but I didn't KNOW what they were talking about.


Also related, I never realized until I heard him say it in an interview with Rude Jude, but all of the A-Sides of Too $hort's albums were clean and the B-Side was dirty. Never even thought about it until he said it.

My aunt dated a no good nigga in the Navy when me and my cousin went to visit one summer and he took us to VA Beach while playing nothing but Too Short.

All I remember was the rapping wasn't that good IMO but the beats were banging. I was never a fan of that Cali twang. Shit sounded so weird compared to the NY rappers I was used to...

Shit was dope.
