if you stab somebody “over a chicken sandwich” you were destined to stab somebody over something, someday. on this day, the wheel of fortune just happened to land on delicious chicken. don’t blame the chicken, baby.

"don't say my car's topless, say the titties is out" was nas' way of answering the age-old question "what part of a car....is the breasts?". and the answer is YOU (and your passengers, if you happen to be in a carpool situation). you are the breasts of a car.

📷 For a while now it’s been a trend to shun the music we came up on. Just because things change and evolve doesn’t mean we have to abandon the foundation. For me that foundation is #boombap hip hop and soul. Last night we put on a clinic...

appreciating sample-based music can also lead to appreciation of the music that was sampled. that’s one of my favorite things about hip hop. you get to find out what sort of history excites you.

my little buddy made it almost 15 years. he came to us @ 6 wks old in a little shoebox. he was small enough to fit in my hand. he was super nibbly so i named him "bitey". he dipped out today at my mom's feet. he was a good boy right through the end.
