It's Tuesday.

New music comes out today.

Teej = Music whore.

I really wanna buy The Roots and Meth's new CD but I only have $40 to my name til pay day next week and I cant buy them b/c I have a 14 year old in the house that, well........eats like a fucking 14 year old!!!!!!

In The News Today......

*Does this scare anyone else......or am I tripping?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20060825/sc_space/scientistserasememoriesinratbrains
They can try and push this 'It's good for learning the human body and it will help in fighting diseases' bullshit off on me if they want. But I aint buying it. You cant tell me that the fucking government and the CIA aint gon use this shit on people that they perceive as threats. Yall had better make like Wu Tang and "Protect Ya Neck".

*How the fuck are they gonna take it upon themselves to determine Pluto is no longer a planet?!?! Fuck you! As far as I know there are 9 planets! And Pluto is one of them, bitch! It's been a planet for like 75 yrs...before any of the these new scientist fuckers were even born! So where do they get off taking Pluto's 'planet' status and replacing it with 'Dwarf Planet'?!?!?! WTF is a dwarf planet?!?!!? Have they ever been there? No! Pluto is a planet dammit!

* "Federal emergency officials claim the New Orleans levee system is ready for another major hurricane." - Bitch it wasnt ready in the first place according to yall! Unless of course the reports that levees were blown up intentionally is accurate. So which is it?

*NASA wont leave outer space alone. I dont understand the space program. Anyone care to share their opinions on it's necessity? What the fuck is up there that they trying to get to? Are they planning on sending mugs to live on another planet? Maybe the 'undesirables'? I just dont get it. They spend BILLIONS of dollars a year on this bullshit when there are plenty of problems like health care, poverty, education, homelessness, diseases, etc. that are right the fuck here on earth and could use that money.

*sigh*

This is why I refrain from watching too much of the news.

Meet The Parents (A Story)

Let's take a trip down memory lane at the cemetary

Rain grey skies, seems at the end of every

young black life is this line...."Damn him already?

Such a good kid," got us pourin Henn' already

Liquor to the curb for my niggaz up above

When it cracks through the pavement that's my way of sendin love

So give BIG a hug, tell Aaliyah I said hi'

Til the next time I see her on the other side

He was just some thug

that caught some slugs

And we loved him cause in him we saw some of us

He walked like us, talked like us

His back against the wall....nigga fought like us

Damn! Poor Isis.....that's his momma name

Momma ain't strong enough to raise no boy

what's his father name? Shorty never knew him

though he had his blood in him

Hot tempered....momma said he act just like her husband

Daddy never fucked with him so the streets raised him

Isis blamin herself ; she wish she coulda saved him

Damn near impossible.....only men can raise men

He was his own man...not even him can save him

He put his faith in her

.38 in his waist

But when you live by the gun you die by the same fate

End up dead before 38 and ummm......

That's the life of us raised by winter, it's a cold world

Old girl turned to coke to tried to smoke her pain away

Isis' life just ended on that rainy day

When she got the news her boy's body could be viewed

down at the City Morgue, she opened the drawer and saw him nude

Her addiction grew....prescription drugs, shift and brew

Angel dust ipped in WOO!!!!!

She slipped into her own fantasy world

Had herself pregnant by a different dude

But reality bites and this is her life

He wasn't really her husband though he called her wife

It was just this night when moon was full

and the stars were just right

and her dress was real tight

Had her soundin like Lisa Lisa

"I wonder if I take you home will you still love me after this night?"

See Mike was the hardhead from the around the way that she wanted all her life

shit she wanted all the hype

Used to hold on tight when he wheelied on the bike

He was a Willie all her life he wasn't really the one to like

It was a dude named 'Shy' who would really treat her right

He wanted to run to the country to escape the city life

But Isis likes this Broadway life

She loved the Gucci sneakers ; the red, green and whites

Hangin out the window when she first seen him fight

She was so turned on that she had to shower twice

How ironic it would be some fight that turned into a homicide that'll alter their life

See Mike at 32 was still on the scene

Had a son 15 that he never saw twice

Sure he saw him as an infant but he disowned him like

"If that was my son he would look much different.

See I'm light-skinnded and that baby there's dark"

So it's momma's baby; poppa's maybe.

Mike was still crazy out there runnin the streets

Got older but not bright with a .38 gun in his reach

It's been 14 years and him and Isis ain't speak

He runnin around like life is a peach

'til one day he approached this thug that had a mean mug

And it looked so familiar that he called him "Young Cuz"

Told him get off the strip but the boy ain't budge

Instead he pulled out a newer .38 snub

He clearly had the drop but the boy just paused

There was somethin in this man's face he knew he seen before

It was like lookin in the mirror and seeing himself more mature

And he took it as a sign from the almighty Lord

You know what they say about he who hesitates in war

He who hesitates is lost

He can't explain what he saw before his picture went blank

The old man didn't think he just followed his instinct

Six shots into his kin out of the gun

Niggaz be a father you're killin your son

Six shots into his kin out of the gun

Niggaz be a father, you killin your sons

Meet the parents........

- Jay Z "Meet The Parents"

*sigh*

* How many hours did it take to achieve the desired effect?
* Im sure they didnt get them done at the same time. Someone had to go first. How is it that the 2nd girl didnt see the 1st girl's head and rethink shit?
* Im sure they 'do hair' or maybe babysit b/c they simply cant go to work in nobody else's business looking like this!
* Who even fathoms this type of shit?
* And furthermore....who agrees to it?
* Are these your waaaaaaaaaay too hood relatives?
* Will you please stop them from coming outside like this?

New York?......shit? Dont Believe The Hype

I dont think NY hiphop fell off.....at least not as far as quality.

HipHop (and the music of HipHop, that being rap music) started in NY. This is as undisputable as the fact that water is wet. So NY has always been the epicenter of rap from it's inception in the mid to late 70's til say.....92-ish when Dre dropped 'The Chronic'. At that point media attention shifted to West Coast rap b/c it was a newer sound. But during 92/93-ish NY was still producing quality music ( Wu, De La, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Redman(okay okay Jerz, but same difference), Gangstarr, Das Efx, etc.) Then 94 happened. BIG and Nas among others shifted some focus back East...but the West coast kept making quality music right alongside the East. Shit got competitive yo! The south was juuuuust starting to make rumblings with 'Kast. UGK lived up to the 'undeground' in their moniker b/c their music was quality...but you had to be in the know to know about it. As far as radio and video love...Geto Boys and 'Face were pretty much the only southern rap doing it. (Am I forgetting anyone? This is all off the top of my head.)

Then the East/West shit happened. And this shit is what made niggas even fucking care where somebody was from. Because before it didnt matter. At first the only question to be answered was whether or not the shit jammed. But the West/East (far be it from me to play favorites)changed all of that. Trust....we are still feeling remnants of that non-sense b/c now if you favored one over the other you subconciously look at the other funny even if you do go on to accept it later.

Before I go off the deep end and lose many due to the fact that this post isnt the shortest post Ive ever seen....lemme say this.....

Yeah you will always have a couple here and there that dickride (No Lance Bass!) the south or whatever is "hot" at the moment. And let it be known that collaboratiing with people aint what I mean. Its when you cater to and purposely (better yet, FORCEFULLY) change your shit up to try and fit in.

If we had more diverse outlets that cared about good music or even providing a leveled playing field as opposed to the trends and what will draw people in for advertising dollars (i.e. ANY Clear Channel or Radio One station, BET, MTV, etc.), I dont think we'd be hearing this bullshit about NY falling off.

NY HipHop music has not fallen off. The proper and even coverage of it given by most media (even the hood approved kind) has though. It's the well-rounded coverage of it yall....or lack thereof. The South is on fire right now. Everyone has their turn. Shit's only fair. Granted that some turns are longer than others. But shit comes back around. Dont worry. Think for yourself. And whatever you do.........

Happy Birthday (to my blog!)

My blog is 2 yrs old today! So in celebration......let's take a look back. Ive selected for your reading pleasure 12 of my favorites in no particular order. Let's face it.....none of ya's have been peeking in since the beginning and very few of ya's have went all the way back to look so these are some entries you may have missed.

These are in no particular order.........

1. "Couples and Races" - This is technically the 2nd blog ever, but the first to really say something. While going thru it with KK.....I just begin to think of the parallel between a man and a woman not understanding each other, and people of different races not getting each other. Made sense to me...... http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2004/08/couples-and-races.html

2. "Gentle Teej / bell hooks" - I wrote them back to back and they really do go hand in hand to me. "You aint never seen a nigga like me ever in your life. And that's what you cant understand!" - Puffy "Hate Me Now". Most times I can shake it off when mugs question my sexuality. But every blue moon...the shit really gets under my skin. Im the most un-gay dude ever but 'niggas get the wrong impression of expression' and figure me to play on the otherside of the fence.....or on both.....or even on the DL. Nah son....Im none of them shits. And these two blogs just reassurred me to continue to do me no matter what. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/04/gentle-teej.html / http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/04/bell-hooks.html

3. "Said To Guest/Said In My Head" - This is what happens when you have just had enough. Thank God for having this blog to vent this shit in. They was putting my ass through the ringer! I think I got nominated for Male Blogger of the year behind this one.........
http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/12/said-to-guestsaid-in-my-head.html

4. "And/A Question" - Sorry if I sound like Im tooting my own horn but this shit here! Fuck that! I came with it!! http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/01/and-question.html

5. "And God said....." - Whew! I was going through it. This is me at my melancholy best. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2004/12/and-god-said.html

6. "What's Ya Quote Game Like?" - Yall niggas dont want nann with the Teej on some movie and tv show quotes. Point blank! Trust!!! http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/07/whats-ya-quote-game-like.html

7. "Happy Valentine's Day Bitches!" - Oooh short and sweet here. I gotta shout out 'Regular Jaim' b/c I lifted this off her page. I think I had been telling nigs for 2 months that my V-Day blog was gonna be some shit. This picture is so powerful when you aint feeling that mushy shit at this time of the year. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2006/02/happy-valentines-day-bitches.html

8. "Pardon Me (The Longest Blog I Ever Wrote)" - Shit was just heartfelt yo. I put it all out there. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/03/pardon-me-longest-blog-i-ever-wrote.html

9. "Happy Columbus Day?" - Another short and sweet one. Me ranting and making sense...which always makes the rant that much better. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/10/happy-columbus-day_10.html

10. "As Promised (The Song Quote List)" - I dont remember which of us thought this up, but Lesley and I had talked about doing this forever it seems. Matter fact Les....did you ever do yours? Anyways...these lyrics have always meant a lot to me and I wanted to put them out there in hopes that one of them might resonate with someone else. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/09/as-promised-song-quote-list.html

11. "Wanted (A Most Basic Emotion)" - I started out to vent and get something off my chest. I accidentally ended up waxing all poetic and shit. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2004/11/wanted-most-basic-emotion.html

12. "Okrah Gets Told No!" -I mean Oprah (or Okrah as I affectionately refer to her) gets denied entrance into a store?!?!?! Oprah FUCKING Winfrey!?!?!!? Shit was hilarious to even fathom.
http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/06/okrah-gets-told-no.html

Honorable Mentions.....

* "Teej Loves The Kids" - Somewhere while growing up....Im thinking around the end of high school or the start of college...we just get dumb! Kids are the smartest people roaming the planet. This shit proves it. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/09/teej-loves-kids.html

I hate: stupid people, lack of common sense, close-mindedness.

I cry: very rarely

I care: about my fam, friends and the world in general more than most know.

I succeed: when I work at it....insistently!

I fail: when I dont work at it....insistently!

I dream: infrequently.

I worry: about my loved ones' well being

I give: of myself....probably too much.

Lord Help Me Please......

....I have a 14 yr old in the house!!!!!

As most of you may or may not know....my 14 yr old little sister now lives with me. To say the least.....it's a big adjustment!! Its a tad different from having a regular roommate as I have to watch my behavior and think of the example Im setting forth.

My porn?.......Hidden away in a shoe box in my room.

Walking around naked?.........Only in my bedroom....with my door closed. No longer can I stroll to the bathroom or to the frig ass naked as I did in the past. Like I said......BIIIIIIIIG adjustment.

And LAWDJEEZUS dont get me started on the phone! I dont have a house phone. I was cool w/o it. But that shit is finsta change!!!!! I cant tell yall how many times she has returned my celly to me with a dead battery. Still dont know what the hell 14yrs got to talk about for hours on end.

But all that is little stuff though. The thing that is gonna drive me up the wall and speed my thinning hair process is MUSIC of all things. If I fucking hear Chris Brown, Kelis, Ne-Yo, Dem Franchise Boys, Young Joc or anything else that 106 and Park plays repeatedly just one more damn time........Im gon hurl myself out of my 10th floor window!

Were we like this when we were 14? Did we listen to the same 8 songs everyday all day and were we content with it? Yall....me and the child had a convo about music that went something like this.......

Me : You know it's alot more music out there than what they play on BET and the radio Angela.

Angela : Well it must not be good. 'cuz if it was good, it would be on BET and the radio!

Me : (mumbling a prayer to myself)
LordPleaseGiveMeTheStrengthToWorkWithAndEnlightenThisPoorChild....

*sigh*

She starts high school in the fall.

*double sigh*

How much blog material yall think Imma get outta this journey?

Teej's Surefire Murderer Reform

So lemme get this straight....Scott Peterson's punk ass kills his wife and unborn son so he can be with his new girlfriend, right? He then gets convicted of the shit and now he's fucking chilling on death row at San Quentin? And when I saying chilling....I mean this mu'fucka is chilling!

While on break I was watching CNN or Headline News or one of those shits. And for some reason they had on a show talking about Scott Peterson's living conditions at San Quen. At first we were like 'WTF, who gives a shit?', but then they went into detail. This prick is fucking chilling yall! He has a color TV, CD Player, Individually controlled light switched cell, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, the opprotuinity to exercise up to 5 hours per day : 6 days per week with fellow inmates, two sheets, a blanket, a pillow, a pillowcase, two towels, boxer shorts, T-shirts, socks, etc.

Sounds like he's chilling to me! They didnt mention shit about him having to work some backbreaking, dirty ass, 'this your punishment for life' job. I mean HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. This mark is on death fucking row for crying out loud! He's fucking living better than me and I've never killed anyone!

Fuck that shit yo! We need prison reform STAT! Im talking 'revenge, retaliation and get back' on some ol Daz Dillinger shit. You murder somebody? You get a couple of 2x4's as a pillow, bitch! No bed for your punk ass. You can sleep on that cold ass concrete floor though. Maybe we'll give yo monkey ass a sheet to cover up with........year round! You hungry? All you get is peas and brisket! Nah fuck that. Matter fact.....yall mu'fuckas be eating better than people on aid and assistance and shit. And again...they aint never murder nobody. All you get is that goverment issued cheese, powdered milk, and pork in the can! Everyday! Every goddamn day for the rest of your sad ass existence!

Ooooh and the best part? The best part is that every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday the families of your murder victims get to come to the prison and maybe hurl rocks at you for an hour. Or maybe 'tie you to a fuckin bedpost with your ass cheeks spread out and shit, right? Put a hanger on a fuckin stove and let that shit sit there for like a half hour. Take it off and stick it in your ass slow like Tssssssss' (all my real heads know where i got that one from). Yeah bitch! You get that shit every other day! I bet you that shit'll drop the murder rate fast.

Oooh just let me get in a position of power to set this shit off yo! I'll fix all this shit quick fastlike.

GOODNIGHT BITCHES!!!

Lois Lane Is A Hoe, Keyshia Cole Is Ghetto, and DMX Is Schizo

Lois Lane Is A Hoe

Anyone see Superman the movie? So the thing that I took away from the movie overall is that Lois Lane is a hoe! Sorry if anyone hasnt seen it yet, but was planning to. But one of the many storylines was that Lois moved on after Superman left for like 5 years and started a new family. But halfway through the movie we discover that the child that everyone is sure is the new dude's is actually Superman's. The kid goes and does some abnormal shit and throws everyone off! So then it comes to light (w/o being said, of course) that Lois' trick ass musta slept with Superman and the new dude back to back, pretty close timewise and both RAW DOG! Ewwwwwww!!!! Now tell me that aint some Maury shit. I knoooooooooow the original writers of Superman aint have this shit in mind.

Keyshia Cole Is Ghetto

What's to say about Keyshia Cole? "These brats cant sing/and Brittney's garbage/What's this bitch, retarded?/Gimme back my $16!!!!!" - Eminem. So Keyshia made it up outta the hood to 'stardom' and all. Yeah yeah....but Im saying.....like this is her first album. She barely went platinum and she gets her own reality show? I swear I aint even hating. I like Keyshia. But, her own reality show? So soon? It's like when Vibe magazine referred to Chris Brown as the future of R&B before his 2nd single came out. Ummmmm...yall a lil premature, no? Anyways so at the end of Keyshia's show it builds up to a concert she gives in her hometown of Oakland. And of course she ends the show with her smash hit "Love" complete with that god awful, suicide inducing ass note included. Yall know the note, right? So it's like 7 people in the room watching this. Our ages ranged from 14-28. Essentially everyone on this side of 21 cringes when this chick cuts the music off and repeatedly sings the chorus with that ol "take it out in the field and shoot it" ass note repeatedly. *sigh*

DMX Is Schizo

Why is this nigga making himself egg sandwiches in the gas station at 2am? Im saying. Like for real X? What's that shit he said? "I wont take disrespect from nobody! I dont give a fuck if it's a big nigga! A small nigga! Ay....I'll fuck a midget up!!!" LMAO. Apparently this nigga be on that pure grade A shit straight from Bolivia. He'll be screaming on you one sec, then bust into the Lord's prayer before you know it. Yeah....they call that shit schizoprenhia. As far as I know they have medication for it. Ooooh but the funniest part is when the lil white girls rolled up on him in Arizona and kept calling his ass Ja Rule! I thought he was gon chokeslam them lil scallywags. And did you hear their mom on the phone with them. Let that be a lesson to all you people of color. You see what happens when they get all of their knowledge of us from mainstream media?

Fuck this shit.....Im back to reading books.

Foolproof Revolution

What if Booker T. and Marcus Garvey
guided by the spirits of Harriet and Nat
had left behind some written wisdom
to pass along to the leaders of their grandchildren's generation

And then those plans
landed in the hands of say Malcolm, Martin or Medgar
And any or all of those brothers
were not cut down by assassin's bullets
and were able to put their heads together
with the young brothers and sisters of the Panthers
to come up with a foolproof plan for the revolution

If we hadda been truly lucky
folx like dead prez, PE, Paris and The Coup (to name a few)
woulda been born a generation or two earlier
to help along with brother Curtis Mayfield
and sister Nikki G
in providing the music and words
to the foolproof revolution

(can u picture that shit!?!?)

But I already know what the outcome woulda been
Either we woulda had some houseniggascum
infitrate and report to his massah like a good lil monkeyboy
or them bastards woulda resorted to their favorite pastime
of bombing shit
Whether it's 4 little girls in a Alabama church
or 11 people in a crib in Philly
they woulda found a way to shut shit down
They're resourceful like that

So the trick is to read up and learn about it
in your own time and space
Start your own revolution within you
Then get together...(inconspicuously please!!!!)
with people of likemind
Compare and create
then break formation really quickly
'fore they get you too!

Filth Flarn Filth

The lil homie Nique (look at you getting shouted out in back to back blogs. dont be feelin ya self over there too much though, k? lol.) recently wrote a blog(http://uncutdope.blogspot.com/2006/06/chokeslam-fridays.html) that reminded me of this one that I had always wanted to write.

Ive always wondered about curse/cuss (I think the term 'cuss' is 'urban', no?) words. Their origins and the such. Like who took it upon themselves however many years ago to decide that these certain set of words were bad to say. And even moreso, how and why did everyone else think to themselves like "Yeah he's right! People shouldnt say these words." If that aint the dumbest shit.......

Remember in Eddie Murphy's 'Raw' when he was talkin about how Bill Cosby called him and told her he shouldnt cuss in his shows.......?

Eddie Murphy: [As Bill Cosby] "Yoouuu cannot say filth flarn filth flarn filth in front of people!"

Eddie Murphy: And I said "'I aint never said no filth flarn filth. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm offended that you called me with this. Fuck you!' And that's when Bill got raw on me!

Eddie Murphy: [As Bill Cosby] "That's what I'm talking about! Yoouuuuu cannot say......fuck!"

Eddie Murphy: Now I can't have no 'curse' show. I mean I gotta throw in a few jokes in between the curses. I can't come out and go "Hello! Filth flar'n filth, motherfucker, dick, pussy, snot, and shit. Good night!"

(Seriously Im not sure how that relates exactly to this blog, but it came to mind and it's funny as shit so I included it!)

Okay...back to what i was saying.....In George Carlin's famous bit called "The 7 Dirty Words" (http://www.erenkrantz.com/Humor/SevenDirtyWords.shtml) he said that usage of these words were apparently thought to "infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war. " Not literally....but mugs sure do act as if spewing these words will do so. Personally I think it's all a load of bullshit. Just another case of people following some shit that they have no idea of the orgins of. Just following b/c they were told to. Just following in the line they were told to get in and go along with. Never leaning to the side and peeking to try to get an idea of where the fuck they are going. Sorry dog.... "Imma leader. Yall on some following!" - Lil Kim. I question mostly everything. And I cuss my ass off. They are just words yall. Using those words dont make me a bad person.

You can cuss and say some nice shit like "You are FUCKING fantastic!" or you can insult someone and say some mean shit w/o a single cuss word like "You are a idiot!" Feel me?

So no.........cussing/cursing does not make a woman less lady like. To me they are only words. Besides it's the way things are said and the intent behind the words that determine their malice.

6 More Weird Things

* I've been repeatedly tagged since I posted the last one like this. I figure what the hell...I'm a pretty quirky mu'fucka, so why not! I got weird facts/quirks for days. So here goes......

1. There is a small lump on the right side of my lower back. Real tiny.....you wouldnt notice it unless I pointed it out to you. I've had it for years. Doctor said it's a 'tissue growth' and I neednt worry. I on the other hand am almost positive that it is the piece of bone from when I chipped a bone in my knee in 5th grade. Im sure it made it's way up my thigh, past my hip and settled into my back.

2. I have absolutely nooooooooooooo patience when it comes to giving people directions over the phone. None whatsoever I tell you! I will catch a 'tude with my damn granny if I had to explain to her how to get somewhere via the phone.

3. When making a grilled cheese I always break off the right edge of the piece of cheese vertically, then nibble all 4 corners of the piece of cheese off also. This is to prevent the melting cheese from spilling off the sandwich and into the pan while cooking it.

4. My sense of smell comes and goes. It stems from a childhood accident involving Cocoa Puffs. What had happened was.....my brother and I were fucking around as young boys do. Maybe he dared me, maybe he didnt. The end result was me ending up with a Cocoa Puff really really deep in each nostril. So deep that I had to be taken to the emergency room to have them removed and we didnt get to go the wrestling match my mama was to take us to that night. Im not sure if he has forgiven me for making him miss that joint yet.

5. The show 'Diff'rent Strokes' had me maaaaaaaad shook of Harlem up until about 8th grade or so. I dont even remember why now that Im grown. I think the way Arnold and Willis usta talk about it made it seem like the scariest place ever to me. Alls I know is up until about 1991 if you had told me you were taking me to Harlem I woulda burst into tears and pleaded with you to reconsider.

6. Im not....how would you say.....'Electric Slide' savvy. I never learned it. Ive never joined in. If you were to find me in the crowd trying to get my slide on you'd notice me immediately. For one Im 6'5. For 2.....I'd be the one about a 1/2 step behind struggling to keep up. Yes Im black. Yes I know it's easy. I just never learned dammit.

And there you have it.

Yall laughing at me, aint yall?
