Those are dope. My only pair of vans were in 8th grade, so 1993ish. But i think i had my airwalks sophomore or junior year so 1995/1996ish? I always figured vans came out first though.

I started listening to Hip Hop when i was 7 or 8 years old (1988)... can't remember which song got me into Hip Hop but it was either Parents Just Don't Understand by dj jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Posse on Broadway by sir mix a lot, or Sally (that girl) by the Gucci crew... up until Hip Hop it was pretty much anything Michael Jackson...i got thriller on vinyl as a gift from my mom's cousin and had Bad on cassette tape... but my cousin from L.A. really got me into some good Hip Hop... being in Sacramento, we were limited on what we could find... you could find some good shit from tower records (that actually started in sac) or you could listen to ebro's "flava show" on 102.5 (yes, the same ebro that's in new York now) or you could listen to kdvs.. which was the local college radio from uc davis... but other than that, l.a. was playing all the new shit and had the new trends (my cousin put me up on cross colors and i was one of the first teenagers here in sac wearing that shit)... all through the 90s I'd call my cousin and ask him to put me up on the new shit while keeping an ear to the underground radio shows . Matt Barnes is from sac .. went to Del campo high school and always has been a dick lol... he lived in my other cousin's apartments in marina Del rey... didn't care for him the couple times he played for the kings... meeting ?uestlove would be cool but id rather meet black thought... hands down Black Thought is in my top 10 emcees of all times. Ive met a lot of emcees and most have been really cool... krs1, snoop, 50cent, fabulous, spliff star, dead prez, slum village, digital underground..i even met Warren G a few months ago...i met Russell Simmons, lil cease, and puffy in NYC but they don't really count... my cousin from l.a. flew up to sac a couple of years ago to roll to a dj premier show... small venue.. ended up going back stage and meeting him too.. one of the nicest guys. But for me the true golden years will be everything from 88 to 03... the way i look at it, Hip Hop music started in 73... from 73 to 88 is the first 15 years which i appreciate now but didn't really get into... then 88 to 2003 which is the 2nd 15 years which im all about then 2004 to now which is 3rd 15 years where rap music has fallen off... sure, there are some dope underground cats and old school heads still doing their thing, but in general it's fallen off..i still listen to the classics but ive found myself listening to other genres of music more now

Still haven't adjusted from prison life 🤣

gotta pee....but here i sit...reading other people's random thots

oh shit! Airwalks...i had a pair of those back in the day lol

yeah...im feelin that 1st beat ..RIP Dilla. I've always been a busta fan....broke 15 year old kid but still copped the Got you all in Check single on cassette...bought the extinction level event album on cd the first week it came out when i was 17. a few years later I ran into him here in cali with his secuity guard. love his music but in real life he's a dick. i still listen to his shit, but i wont buy his music again

Is that Kennedy? Fuck i hate Kennedy

Watching the NFL draft

I remember Flynt and Marey Carey running... didn't know about the others.

That could be the case. Yeah, the speech (and his acting) were dope in that scene... the rest of the movie seemed boring to me. I watched it over the course of three days during my prep period when i was a teacher

Nevermind...i found it...lol....

I don't even know what it's called lol

Im mad as hell and im not gonna take it anymore! Because i heard this all the time, i decided to check out the movie a couple years ago. It sucked.

I came up with a quote today... im sure there's some iteration of it already: "Unchecked American exceptionalism becomes brazen American arrogance."

Trying to enjoy the last 10 minutes of my lunch break

Two local guys right here. Gift of Gab went to the same high school and college that i went to years before i did.

I first heard the muddy waters album on a cassette tape... visiting my cousin in l.a. with my family.. he wasn't home from school yet so i was going through his tapes and started bumping it... classic

From my city's protests yesterday ..... Some of these people are just bat shit fucking crazy!

Does it go.... Brum bum bum yeah! Bum bum bum Brum bum bum yeah!

How does it go? Hum it.

My cousin did this for karoake when he came to Sac for my birthday last year lol

Supply and demand Supply and demand That's all i ever hear. People aren't buying houses and won't be during coronavirus.. so demand gets low... that means the supply goes up.. if supply goes up, prices should go low... but no. Fuckin A Fuckin A
