I'm sittin there in a suit and tie...I took this chick Shirley, a fine little Columbian dime. I'm chillin, eating pasteles, chicken, and whatnot.
My man Elvin was getting married, and we all used to rhyme...make little tapes and stuff. I was the star in school. This was 91-94 Tampa, so it's not like now...where there's 400 m.c.'s in a single school.
Anyway, they're like get up and rhyme. I'm like "What? are you stupid? I don't have nothing written or memorized!". I could've went off-the-head, but this is a wedding...abuelitas and aunts there and all that. I'm not trying to grab my dick and go "in a zone" onstage.
Finally, I said I'll do it...so I jotted some cute lil'lines down, and figured I'd just KRS-it for a minute or 2 and do a little dedication. Read thru it a few times, and decided to go up there.
My boy was DJ'ing spanish music, but he had the "Flava in ya'Ear" instrumental, so I told him to play that. Man!!! It was supposed to be fun, but they made this huge announcement, tapped the glasses, and my boy and his wife came UP to the stage. ALL eyes were on me, on some "special dedication" type vibe, like I was Whitney Houston.
*gulp*
DJ drops the beat...
I got thru 4-6 lines with no problem. I even took a friendly little diss/jab @ our friend Chino who couldn't make the wedding 'cause he went to the Army lol The crowd was laughing...I had'em.
Boom!! After the 6th line, my mind went blank...I stumbled on the line, and remembered it, but not enough time to land on beat.
After that stumble, my brain went completely blank.
Man, I went into SOME off-the-head, Das EFX crap. lol Skoobida-bop.
After I was done...about 4 bars later...I ended the rhyme with...
"Fuck it! I'm done"
at a wedding.
Jesus...I still shudder @ the memory. Avatar? E-Boogs and Nayi
