CASH MONEY 4 LIFE I'MA STUN TIL I DIE

The first time I heard 'Still Fly.' Was like a couple months ago. Like six months now! At the very start of the summer. The guy recommended it and said it was what the black people were listening to.
Wait.
Listen. You just have to right click and save.
If you want to hear. If you haven't already.
I miss a lot of the black people music because there is no black people radio station here. Deep in the Canadian hinterland. So, I miss lots of cool stuff.
I downloaded it. And then I think I thought it was neat but I deleted it eventually.
Then I downloaded it again.
Then for a while I was convinced it was one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
Big Tymers. 'Still Fly.'
It's two really ugly black men. One has a weird Jewish-looking Afro. Like Bob Dylan had. But black, though. Like someone took the black Afro, turned it into a Jewish afro, and then made it back into a black afro. The other is bald and really ugly.
The Jewish afro guy is named Mannie Fresh. He has a gay name and a stupid Jew-black afro but he's an okay guy.

The afro thing is not totally there in this picture but you can see that they're ugly men.
Gator boots with the pimped-out Gucci suits. (Them Gucci suits!) Ain't got no job but I stay shine. (I stay shine!)
Can't pay my rent. (I can't pay my rent.) 'Cause all my money's spent. (Mmm-hmm.) But that's okay 'cause I'm still fly. (I'm so fly.)
Got a quarter tank of gas in my new E-Class. (In my E-Class Benz!) But that's alright 'cause I'm gon' ride. (I'm gon' ride!)
Got everything in my mama's name. (In my mama's name!) But I'm hood rich. (Uh-huh.) Da da da da. The greatest opening lines of pretty much any song ever.
The rest of the song could coast on just those lines. But it doesn't!
Now, the next bit is pretty incomprehensible. But the first time I listened to the song, all of it was pretty incomprehensible. So, you've got to listen close.
Actually, before this song I had no idea what rims were. I didn't.
There's still a lot of it that I don't understand. Like what exactly 'four fifteens didn't see no wires' or 'twenny fo's with tens' means. Those numbers things. But I understand most of it.
It's pretty obvious why it's great. It's kind of, like, saccharine sweet. Like Sweet N Low. It's not about crime. Or drugs. Or guns. It's a celebration. Of money. A celebration of material wealth.
I saw an interview with Mannie Fresh on TV. And the guy asked him if there was more than materialism to the Big Tymers message. And Mannie said yes, there is. I think that's how it went. But the guy asked him what the message was. And Mannie goes, like, 'I can't keep track of the message. It changes too often.' That's pretty good. That's why it's so good, too.
It's light and sweet. It's like a can of Mountain Dew. But less like that than some other kind of drink, maybe. Maybe like Vanilla Coke. It's just a nice song about money. It sounds cool and it's kind of funny. It isn't a sad song. There's nothing sad about it at all. There aren't even any bad words. There is some reference to an extra-marital affair but I think that's pretty much just empty boasting.
It's kind of the opposite of Public Enemy. Or pretty much any serious hip-hop. But, Chuck D. is a whiny anti-Semite and Flavor Flav is a messed up crackhead. 'Still Fly' isn't any kind of update of 'Anti-Nigger Machine' or anything. It's free of politics and free of pretty much everything else. It's pure celebration.
So, that's kind of why I like it.
And! Then just yesterday I heard something just as great- better! 'Shine.' Lil Wayne.

I don't feel like saying a bunch of stuff about it.
It's about money and expensive cars and gaudy jewellery and Mannie Fresh made some totally crazy Mario 3 beat thing and it sounds like some children's song.
I'ma stun 'til I die. So, you better respeck it. 'Cause whoever try testin' Is gonna be restin'.
Eh. This is ready to go.

"Still Fly" is good, but nothing tops "Number One Stunner"

'Still Fly' is happier. That one is kind of angry. Like they're angry about the fact that they own a lot of platinum jewellery. And it's just not as memorable either. I will carry 'Still Fly' to my grave.

Did the lack of wires cause the explosion of the amplifiers? I wasn't clear on that.

I don't know. You piqued me interest with your Chuck D. reference. You new kids have no respect for the roots.
It's all "play station, dvd," and "cash money" and flossin' ice" these days.
Where's the message?
I'll tell you where the message is; the message is between the lines.
All these new rappers are basically saying, "we is from the hood,we was poor, but somehow, we done managed to come on up and buy all this neat shit that makes you other neegirs jealous".
What does that say about that race of people? I'll tell you what it says; it says that they are obsessed with the white man's shit.
Rolls Royce's, diamonds, blonde white girls, etc.
It's all make believe.
But, it goes beyond all that.
This is a true story.
I read you post and downloaded this negroe rap music track and am right now listening to it. The chorus was so familiar. And it just came to me where I heard it before.
I was driving down the 311 bypass the other night, near the mall in that little town next to my town. In the car next to me, there were four white kids with the window down. And, they were hanging out the windows singing this chorus with the actual track playing over their car radio.
I wonder if it's poor white kids relating to the whole, "we can not have the smart whie man's stuff", or what.
Anyway, Chuck D was ok with me.
Flava Flav was a crack head. I saw him smoking crack out back behind the blind tiger in gso NC back in the day.
"I gotta letter from the governemtn, I opened it and read it it said that they wanted me to fight for their army or whatever, picture me giving a damn I said NEVER!"
"Cause I'ma black man, and I could never be a veteran"

But, maybe, it's not that they're stupid niggers easily amused by platinum jewellery.
It probably is basically that. They enjoy being really rich. Which is cool.
And maybe it's provocative that they are niggers but they own a lot of fancy stuff.
It might be. But probably not, really.
I don't know. If I was an ugly black man from the slums of the southern United States and then I was rich enough to own an Escalade and have platinum on my teeth, I'd probably be all excited about it, too.
I can't think of anything smart to say about this whole thing. I don't understand it.
I like the story about you seeing Flavor Flav smoking crack behind the club. I always tell people about that. It's cool.
Big Tymers have probably outsold Public Enemy a few times over.

It could be dissected many times over and stuff we could go into detail, but I am not that into rap to care that much and you probably are not either, or, as well, or something
In reply to:

cause the neegroes do not know what is good for them, I say....but I could be wrong. Maybe bling bling is good for them...
Maybe bling bling will get them to vote for politicians who will rep them up in the hizzouse of reps and shizznit...
I only pretend to care, as do you, I'm sure

I don't know about real black people. Like, American ones. I only know about Caribbean ones. And some African ones.
That is my trouble.
I want to learn about them. I think white people are basically over. And black is where the action is nowadays. So, I try to learn.
But I only get to see them on TV, pretty much.

Spend a little time in a few different regions of the US to learn more aboot the blackies.
They are recieved differently in the northeast than they are in the SE, for example.
As far as the darkies being the next big thing....and whitey being over....only on MTV my canadian white friend, only on MTV.....

But, there's really no denying that the golden age of white people is pretty much over. I mean, they aren't going to be supplanted by the darks and the Asians overnight but it's headed in that direction.
I think white people had their chance and they were doing good for quite a while but they've made some terrible mistakes which will eventually cost them.
We'll just have to see what happens.

Hey could you have made yourself sound more ignorant? NOOO Fucking loser.

Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience.
It isn't more complicated than that.
It is opening to or recieving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is,
without either clinging to it or rejecting it.
