To all the moms that are handling their business.
To the dads who are playing both roles.

Friday is the day and we can’t contain ourselves!! So to celebrate we will be dedicating a week to alice in wonderland.

jasmine solano did her thing forreal. the other opening acts didnt have the crowd vibing like she did.
Not too lady like but def an ill line. I never get tired watching these…
I’m seeing Basement Jaxx tonight and I’m HYPED!!!!
This is so out of my character being I have NO love for my hometown (except for a handful). But I was put onto Kepstar recently and I approve. If you know what grinding tastes like I think you’ll relate to this mixtape. Maybe it’ll even push you harder.

Listen/Download here.
Someone came off lovely.

heres a shitload of more kanye memes.
turns out roxanne shante didnt accomplish many of the things she claimed in that daily news story.

an investigative report done by some dude at slate.com came through with these facts:
* According to Warner, neither it nor any of its subsidiary record labels ever had a contract with Shanté, and it was not obligated to pay for her education. Indeed, there’s no evidence that it ever did.
* Shanté—real name Lolita Shanté Gooden—doesn’t have a Ph.D. from Cornell or anywhere else. Indeed, she admitted it in an interview with Slate. And Cornell has no record of Gooden (or “Shanté”) ever attending or receiving a degree.
* According to Marymount Manhattan College records, Shanté enrolled there but dropped out less than four months later without ever earning a degree.
* New York state records indicate that no one named Lolita Gooden or Roxanne Shanté is licensed to practice psychology or any related field.
everybodys got a hustle, but daaaaaamn son. why you had to play me like that?
I had to wake up to this song at least 3 days out of 5 during 8th grade. It was like the DJ knew to play this song at the top of the hour so people could wake up to it.
I remember listening to this album on my walkman riding my bike through the neighborhood. A time where beepers were just being introduced and there were no cell phones. A time that if you didn’t get in touch with your friends in the morning you had to roam the hood to find where everyone was. Most of the time you would find them in the park or that one friends house where everyone could chill.
Take a walk down memory lane with me…..
