basically, i had my own lil church crew, and didn't really study most folks. i was the smartest kid in school, etc, and i think cats that didn't know me DID have the impression that i was something other, cuz i dressed preppy, won spelling bees, etc -- basically was just different.

my junior year, silkk da shocker's second album came out, and i had to review it for the school paper. well, that shit was GOOD, and i gave it a glowing review. cats seriously came up to me in the hallway after that like, yea man, that silkk is tight, i'm glad you gave it a good review. i think that gave me more cred during my years in HS than anything else i ever did.
