Freestyle Friday vol 1 (That Ain't Love)





I'm bringing back the Freestyle Friday to the 12th Planet.

Each Friday, I will feature a hip hop verse for you. In the verse, I will highlight a line or two that stands out. Feel free to comment about the verse


Verse of the Week...That Ain't Love - Little Brother

[Intro]

Uhh, yeah, love 
You know we always, we always talkin 'bout love 
We always thinkin 'bout it y'know 
I'm in love, I want love, I need love, whatever 
But like sometimes I wonder With all the hurt and pain that people that supposedly love you put you through 
Is that really love? 

[Phonte] 

We would go to each other's houses, sleep on the flo' 
Crash on each other's couches, work like kings and 
eat like paupers, now my heart palpitates 
just thinkin 'bout all the stress that came up out this 
Started out hard, goin for the long haul 
Put all of the bullshit and hoes on pause 
Shit got major we, stacked a little paper now 
Couple years later can't get a phone call 
Hold up~! Big fish in a little pond 
Swimmin 'round town, thinkin like we already stars 
And they say that money change you, but money don't change you 
It just make you more of what you already are 
Hope our kids do better than we 
Hope he and she learn to stick together when the times get ugly 
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused 
But my fam still swear that they love me man 

[Chorus] 

If this is love, I don't wanna see hate 
If this is real, I don't wanna see fake - I'm sayin 
Cause I don't know how much more I can take 
I know that, all of y'all can relate - I'm sayin 
Uhh, if this is love, I don't wanna see hate 
If this is real, I don't wanna see fake 
You know that ain't love love, that ain't love love 
That ain't love love, that ain't love love 

[Rapper Big Pooh] 

You were the, right hand, my man 50 Grand 
Us gettin dollars was all part of the plan 
A few years back we cut ties, you understand 
It was all business, nuttin person-al 
And you vowed to come back a different person now 
we are back on track, and time heals wounds 
Nothin showed me you came back too soon 
Yeah, once again you and I to the tune 
We brought you on tour, put money in your fist 
You fucked up plenty and got slapped on the wrist 
That's it! And everytime the brothers grand mack 
The topic would arise about you bein kept 
The Lord says forgive I will never forget 
Shoulda picked up the phone when the times got ugly 
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused 
But my fam still swear that they love me man 
Aww sheeit~! 

[Chorus] 

[Jozeemo] 

"I'ma ride for my n$#%^z", I figure that's what they all say 
It's foul play when cuttin throats is your forte 
Do it how you wanna be done, that's what the Lord say 
Daps and hugs, but turn your back and get the swordplay 
I'm sure you say I got it all wrong, it ain't like that 
I sent you all them letters, guess it's better you ain't write back 
Despite the fact you told me plenty tears you had to fight back 
All lies, surprise, I ain't diss you with no spite track 
I know you'd probably like that, but never will I hit your level 
You gon' dig your own grave, focus when you grip the shovel 
I should be pissed as ever, but I'm the bigger brother 
So I'ma keep it movin while you get your shit together 
Our bonds was severed, but all you had to say was fuck me 
I smelled your bullshit, consider me lucky 
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused 
But my fam still swear that they love me - ain't that a bitch! 

[Chorus] 

{*sung ad libs to fade*}


Love...whether its with your family, significant other, or friends...can be difficult. 

(song)

Lyrical Moment - My Melody





I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts, The Pisces Life. I was given the opportunity to share a "Lyrical Moment" from one of my all time favorite MCs.

Song - My Melody

MC - Rakim

I joined my home girl, Kai Love, and we broke down our thoughts and feelings about the song...and Rakim.

I have to thank Kai Love and her co-host Letitia (who was unable to attend) for allowing me to spend a few moments reflecting on a great song and phenomenal MC.

The podcast is just 14 minutes long. Click the link below to listen

hang em up


For the past 6 years, I have been a Little League football coach.

I have coached my son, Kameron, and his football team.

This fall...you won't find me on the sidelines.

I have officially "retired" from coaching. My retirement wasn't my choice. Well...it was...but it wasn't. Kameron, who has developed into a pretty good football player, decided this past April to try out for his middle school football team. When he told me of his plans, I asked him if he was sure that was what he wanted to do. I know the level of competition for middle school was pretty high. After visiting his first "tryout", I told Kameron that I didn't know if he was gonna make it.

I told him..."Based on what I see...I don't think you're gonna make it. I'm not trying to discourage you. I believe in you and your talents. But I have to tell you what I see as a person who evaluates talent...not as a father." He knows that I will never sugarcoat anything. I'm honest and always will be.

After tryouts were over, Kameron came home one day and said..."I guess you'll be retiring Dad because I made the team." I was shocked. I didn't think he could do it...but he did! Kameron (12) is very confident...much like his father. I'm not sure if my words pushed him. That wasn't my intent. Nevertheless, he made it.

Not long after Kameron made his middle school team, my youngest son, Brandon, said that he was "retiring" from football. He's only 7 but he's been playing since he was 4. He said he wanted to play basketball and baseball. I asked him if he was sure and he said yes. One thing I know about sports is that you don't "push" or "pressure" a kid into playing a sport. Sports require commitment and dedication. If a kid isn't committed or dedicated, you're wasting your time.

As for me, I loved coaching. I love football. It's my first love. I will miss being around the kids. Most of the kids on our team I've coached for 5 or 6 years. I've watched them grow. We've won a lot of games as well as championships together. I'll miss my fellow coaches. We've developed an unbreakable bond. It's funny to me that I had this much fun coaching when I was very reluctant to coach in the beginning. But this is the end of the road. Now I get to be one of the parents in the stands yelling at the coaches! LOL. I'm hanging up my whistle.

Unless Skyler asks me to coach her team when she gets older...
