off tha dome



random thoughts...

I am tempted to go the house that is around the corner from me and say..."Hey man...it's January. You can turn your Christmas lights off and take them down."

the football season is almost over. i'm not happy about that

government shutdown, huh? this makes NO sense.

i'm down for free apps on my iPhone. if it's free, then it's for me

I think my feet have finally recovered from the walking that I did at Disney World during Christmas

I don't give free apps a long leash. if I don't vibe to the app quickly, i'll delete it

nah, i'm not watching the Grammy's

i'm DEFINITELY not watching the Super Bowl halftime show with Justin Timberlake

my kids were out of school on last Monday. then they went to school on Tuesday. and then they were out for the next 3 days from this...3 inches of snow and ice (my backyard)




kim and kayne named their new baby...Chicago. Chicago West. i'm pretty sure that kid will be mad as hell 13 years from now

remember when your momma told you as a kid "Put a hat on when you go outside. You don't wanna catch a cold." has this theory ever been proven?

shoutout to this spot that was within walking distance when I was a student at South Carolina State University called Mr Wings. you could get 10 wings for $2.50. ahhhh...the good ole days

PSA...if your pipes are frozen, don't be like the dude on the news who decided to use a blowtorch to "warm" up his pipes and burned his house down. smh

when you were in your chemistry class in high school...how far away did you sit from the smartest kid in your class?

it's annoying to listen to a podcast and people just get on and start talking without introducing themselves to the listener

the Minnesota Miracle was unreal. in all of the years that I've watched football...I've never seen a playoff game end like this




for the record...all Marcus Williams had to do was to tackle Diggs inbounds. if he does...game over

is there any food that tastes worse than liver? ewwwwww

is it just me or do the Golden State Warriors look like they could sweep a 7 game series against the Cavs

Jan 20th, 2017...the inauguration...

Jan 20th, 2018...government shutdown. you do the math

is it just me or does it feel like this administration has been in office for 5 years???

I think I need to learn how to play Smooth by D'Angelo on the piano. that song...and that album...are sooooooooo cold

new year...new me? yeah, right! some folks are still doing the same dumb crap that they did last year




i'm from the "go-together era". the era when you asked a girl (either face to face) or via a letter..."if she would go with you"

the concept of writing a letter may seem strange to some of you because you just know how to send text messages

the chewing gum that costs $.05 loses its flavor after 3 bites

for the record, when I asked a girl to "go with me" they always said yes. lol

do malls have arcades anymore?

Minneapolis will be...as the kids say...LIT for the Super Bowl. lol. I worked/lived there in 2010. it's a beautiful city. it's just frigid. shoutout to The Loop & Electric Fetus...I hung out there a lot

back to Kim & Kanye. their children's names are North West, Saint West, and now Chicago West. let's hope they are done having kids

kissing is underrated

that bottom lip...Erykah Badu sang about it. you've gotta kiss it...especially if they can kiss





Mo'Nique Conan O'Brien, and George Lopez are all incredibly NOT funny to me

do you think Michael Jackson and Prince are playing together in heaven? I do

it was 5 degrees on last Wednesday here in Atlanta. by Saturday...it was 69 degrees. go figure

I've learned not to complain about the weather here. it's gonna change anyway

with football season ending soon, it'll give me time to catch up on some tv shows

I've never seen Game of Thrones nor The Walking Dead...nor do i plan to see them

looking forward to checking out Black Panther

Freestyle Friday - I Ain't No Joke





I Ain't No Joke

by Eric B & Rakim


verse 2...

I got a question, as serious as cancer
Who can keep the average dancer
Hyper as a heart attack nobody smiling
Cuz you're expressing the rhyme that I'm styling
This is what we all sit down to write
You can't make it so you take it home, break it and bite
Use pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits
Get the style down pat then it's time to switch
Put my tape on pause and add some more to yours
Then you fake it you're ready for the neighborhood chores
The E-M-C-E-E don't even try to be
When you come up to speak, don't even lie to me
You like to exaggerate, dream and imaginate
Then change the rhyme around, that can aggravate me
So when you see me come up, freeze
Or you'll be one of those 7 MC's
They think that I'm a new jack but only if they knew that
They who think wrong are they who can't do that
Style that I'm doing, they might ruin
Patterns and paragraphs based on you and
Your offbeat DJ, if anything he play
Sound familiar, I'll wait til E say
Play 'em, so I'ma have to diss and bro
You could get a smack for this, I ain't no joke


you can listen to this song is in its entirety here...

2017 Year in Review (pictures)



The Year in review (in pictures)

January

We brought in the new year in my hometown...Florence, SC to spend some time with my parents and then stopped to see my brother, Damon.





Me, Deion, and Kameron went to the Georgia Dome and got a chance to see the Falcons beat the Seahawks on their way to the Super Bowl


February

My uncle, Harry Carson, was recognized at the Super Bowl. This was a very proud moment for me and my family.



Skyler and I hit the Daughter/Father dance


My grandma, Opal, passed away in January. While I was sad to see her leave us, she was here for 95 years. We'd all be pretty lucky if we are around that long. One of the beautiful things about her leaving us was getting a chance to see my family...some of whom I had not seen since I was a kid. And some who I had only heard about. It was a truly a blessing.

March


Sherice got a year older...lol



Deion hit the prom with his girlfriend



April

Deion's cotillion was dope



Brandon, Skyler and Kameron enjoyed visiting my mom

Time flies...

May

Deion graduated from high school and made us extremely proud



June

I found some of my old videotapes and found one with Deion (age 4) and Kameron (almost 1). Seeing these tapes brought a smile to my face and great memories. I think somebody snuck some onions in the room at some point...

I found this picture of both my grandmothers. My maternal grandmother, Gladys (left), and my paternal grandmother, Opal (right). This is the only picture that I have of them together. Gladys passed away when I was 6. These were two of the sweetest women in the world. I hope I've made them proud. And yes...the lil guy in the picture is me.

July

The family vacation in Hilton Head



By the end of July, this little dude was off to college. Where did the time go? One minute he was on my shoulders...the next minute he's in college. I couldn't have been prouder.

August

The duo celebrated their birthdays on consecutive days. Kameron turned 15 on August 8th and Deion turned 18 on August 9th



Me at the Braves game with my office. It had to be 150,000 degrees that day.

September


Me, Brandon, and Kameron toured The Benz, the new billion dollar stadium for the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United



Sherice and I celebrated 17 years of marriage

Princess Skyler turned 6

October

We got a chance to see Deion and his band play several times. That was a thrill for all of us


November

The kid was home from college for a week for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed having him here...even though we didn't see him that much. lol

Thanksgiving lunch with Skyler

December

We had 3 inches of snow on December 9th. I don't think I've ever seen it snow in December in the 20 years that I've been living in Atlanta


More importantly...on December 9th...this guy turned 45

Brandon turned 11 on December 10th and became the coolest 11 year old on the planet.





2017 was a great year. There were ups and downs. Ultimately, it was a great year for us all because we all got to see it. May 2018 be a year filled with blessings and prosperity for you and yours







5000

off tha dome (hip hop edition)





off tha dome (random thoughts...the hip hop edition)

lyrics matter...always have...always will

PSA...never argue with people online about hip hop. save your breath

I've noticed how almost everybody refers to albums as "projects" instead of "albums". that sounds weird to me. maybe it's semantics...but an album ain't a project. projects...much like that science project that you did in the 8th grade..is something that you focus on for a brief period of time, then you move on. albums should stay with you for a long time. but hey...maybe that's just me

i hope Kendrick Lamar wins a lot of grammys but i won't be watching

it's been 30 years since Scott La Rock was murdered and i just found out 2 weeks ago that he was shot and killed by bullets that were meant for D-Nice. i never knew that

much to my surprise...i listened to 17 new hip hop albums this year. i think there was some good music released this year

if you are telling me about why a rapper or a song is good and the FIRST thing that mention is the beat...i'll tune you out

my favorite albums from 2017...


1) Lailah's Wisdom - Rapsody

2) DAMN - Kendrick Lamar

3) 4eva is a Mighty Long Time - Big Krit

4) Big Fish Theory - Vince Staples

5) All Amerikkkan Bada$$ - Joey Bada$$


we were trained to listen to the lyrics. if you listened to your favorite song with no music...how would you enjoy it?

i know who the Migos are. i've heard one song from them...and that's enough for me

thank you, Black Thought







i'm disappointed in Russell Simmons. do i believe his accusers? honestly, yes

i love Tupac buuuuuuut...how is he in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame before LL or Rakim?

i don't think we'll ever get a solo album from Andre 3000 or Black Thought

can Cardi B actually rap?

my favorite DJ...Jazzy Jeff...hands down

i hear that Pete Rock and DJ Premier will help produce the next De La Soul album. that would be dope

have you ever noticed how many times Donald Chump has been referenced in old hip hop songs?

for the record...for the 1st time ever...i didn't like De La Soul's last album

y'all loved Jay Z's 4:44 ; i liked it. that's it

Wu Tang is for the children

i've never seen The Roots perform live. that needs to change

Rapsody is sooooooooooo dope. i love her

Geechie Suade...still a dope hip hop moniker

who knew that Go Stetsta was a "chain snatching anthem" back in the day

if you ask ten people when the Golden Era started and when it ended...you might get 20 different answers

shoutout to Uncle Luke and the 2 Live Crew.

although i've never smoked weed, i get so much enjoyment listening to Redman rap about it

i can't tell you about the hip hop on black radio because i haven't listened in over 10 years

however, i do listen to the legends, Ed Lover and Monie Love, on the Ed Lover Show






where is Jean Grae?

i miss going to the record store

i'll never call Puffy...Diddy. he's Puffy or Puff

remember when New York ran hip hop?

rap videos SHOULD match and enhance the song

remember when LA ran hip hop?

do they still make rap videos?

this may surprise you but i liked the Rick Ross album

i don't dump on this generation's hip hop. i want them to understand the path that their predecessors paved for them. that's all.

don't get it twisted...there are a lot of wack rappers today. and there were a lot of wack rappers in the 80s and 90s. the difference? back then, you were ridiculed and admonished for it. nowadays, wack is accepted and celebrated

there's room for everybody at hip hop's table

thank you to all of those...especially the younger cats...who listen to my podcast and get enjoyment & knowledge from me talking about hip hop. i appreciate it

i'm gonna pass on this new Eminem album

i find it funny that my son, Kameron, is called "Old School" by his fellow 15 year old friends. i wonder why? LOL

my Dad reminded me the other day about he conversations that we had when i was a teen and he said "rap is terrible". years later...have I become like him? lol
