From the heart

Four black teens in Philadelphia with nothing other than weekly tranpasses and opinions. Still, the criticism and general interpretation seem to change from day to day regardless of aforementioned teens consistency.

Whatever. We're not doing anyone some terrible injustice, and we don't claim to be changing the world or enlightening the folk beyond belief or recognition. Credences, food for thought, images, a few laughs here and there, and opinions are all that we can offer you. Whether you choose to accept or decline, you are here, as are we, daily.

To face the rain or sunshine, parade or riot, cookout or Saturday detention..We ride Septa.

CurT@!n$-Black folks



Don't ask me how I came across CurT@!n$ because I won't be able to tell you. Just by taking a quick glance at his blog you can tell that there's something that seperates him from the norm, the way that he spells his name is probably the first tip-off. CurT@!n$ is one of those rappers that you'd like to know personally because he seems like he'd be on some next level shit, just in the way that he thinks without even regarding his sense of style. Obviously the same thing can't be said for most rappers in an industry full of artists thriving based off of their appearance, stomping grounds, and hype men rather than the messages being sent out with every single.

The radio's are clogged with garbage, the video channels offer the same garbage, with bikini clad women, and some of who we would have considered to be the greats back in the day need to just bite the bullet and retire. F'real f'real the only real hope is with the up and comings since the "legends" insist on selling something that died a long time ago, and that they no longer have any knowledge of. Not that this pertains to every single one of them but far too many to be equal.

Now CurT@!n$ even manages to delineate himself from the rest of the new generation by speaking on things (eloquently) and remaining true to himself and where he came from at the same time. Articulate rappers who aren't on a "I'm better and by far more intelligent than you" tip are getting harder and harder to find. In any case, I've been a fan and will remain one.
