I got a text from my man the other day that simply read, "It's a Black Rob morning". While I don't ever remember us having a long convo about Rob, but I knew EXACTLY what he meant.

Some rappers voices, deliveries, lyrics, songs, are like comfort food. Warm apple pie, mash potatoes, and mac and cheese.

Here are a few other rappers that evoke that feeling for me...

Black Rob



G-Dep



Too Short
"...I was only 14 when I first ..."




Scarface
"...I wanna die but it aint for me/I try to talk to my dad but my old man ignores me..."



Rakim
"Planet Earth..."



Buckshot
"Check the dialect from the diaphragm my man"

Sin, all depends, on what you believing in, faith is what you make it...

that's the hardest shit since MC Ren..." Andre 3000

I'm not too sure if posting links to other blogger's posts is kosher or not but I feel I have to. The folks over at the t.r.o.y blog have put together a little something for one of the all time under appreciated MCs'

"MC Ren controlls the automatic, for any dumb motherf--r, that wants static..." - MC Ren of N.W.A.

BTW, Dre and Big Boi really went in on this track...

"Teachers teach and do the world good...

kings just rule and most are never understood" - KRS One

Yeah I know I fell off in a MAJOR way but i'm trying to get back on my grind so cut me some slack.

Between my little girl, and the major time and energy suck that is my job I have had very little motivation to post.

I have had my hands full between teaching and parenting however here are a few related songs and lyrics to hold you down. While they may not be the most clever lyrically, its the best I can do for now so deal!

Wait a minute, who am I talking to?

"I took they history class serious front row everyday of the week third period..."

"Get your lessons, That's what my moms kept stressin I tried to pay attention but they classes wasn't interesting..."

The "Berry's" finest..."It's not about presents, it's your presence in the essence..."




"Fat shoe laces and tri-colored sneakers, I stood like a man and I questioned my teacher."
