SOME STUFF...READ THE FOOD ENTRY...
IRON MIKE CAUGHT WITH BAM BAM AND ARRESTED.
We still love the guy.
Saddams burning... we all know that
Kids on Campus
Food:
I don't know if I've always had an affinity for people who make moves, or if, after more than twenty-five years of living hip hop (Rappers Delight came out when i was 14), I've become enamored of those who get their hustle on. In my semi-cynical moments--which occur most every workday-- I truly believe life is a hustle. Its hard. Whether you're a students trying to get as much money as possible from the financial aid office, a novelist trying to get the right bookstores to book you for the right readings, a journalist trying to get subjects to open up and say things readers will find fascinating, or an editor-in-chief sweating blood to get the hottest most right covers possible; it's a hustle. Its interaction with fine and freaky people. It's negotiating, sometimes, with folk you wouldn't want in your home. It's making things happen when you think you can't. It's conquering fears, real and imagined, on the daily. It's why, though I'm not powder-burned (like Young Jeezy and the Clipse) or the veteran of bullet wounds (like 50 cent), I can relate. We act as if we're so far away from "the hustler" mentality anf the culture it breeds, but we're not. It's everywhere. It's heartbreakingly emotional; it goes to the core of primal desires to escape pain, to feel secure, and to be, in reality or in our own minds, number one..."
