90’s hip-hop raised me…Part 3

….in conclusion! “C.R.E.A.M.” – Wu-Tang Clan (1993) – Another self-explanatory song just by the title alone. GET THE MONEY!!! I’m all about my coin and being comfortable.

90’s hip-hop raised me…Part 2

Let’s go.…. “Can’t Truss It” – Public Enemy (1991) – One of the many old-school hip-hop tracks that’s still relevant today. You can’t trust shit anymore, nothing or no one.

’90’s hip-hop raised me…Part 1

I’m a true ’90’s kid to the bone. As much of a history buff as I am…there’s no other era that I would’ve wanted to come of age in. The ’90s were such a fun time. The fashion, the music, the movies, TV shows…just everything going on spoke fun. Hanging out at Northland and City Center…

Dear Pat Houston

Pat ‘Baldy’ Houston…I won’t take up too much of your time because trust and believe this won’t take long at all.
