2012 BET Hip Hop Award Cyphers

WARNING: This is the cypher the way that I hear it. I could be getting some words wrong. Hell, next year tell them to enunciate.  Lol. But I think that transcribing the cyphers are a great way to see if these rappers are really SAYING anything. Yeah, it sounds good on a beat, but fool…what did you really SAY? You be the judge….who actually SAID something this year?

THE CYPHER

T.I Hosts this first cypher:

Trae Tha Truth ( Houston, TX)

Give me the beat let me crash it like I was reckless/ This cypher used to be rap now it’s thug and fresh out of TX/ Focus soon as I’m speaking/ no sleeping like they was restless / I demand to be respected guess hatas ain’t get that message/ Now they got theyself a problem/ Call them king of the state/ only ya’ll should just take they plate/ dinner finished/ tell ‘em they late/ Like Weezy the way I skate on glass paint/ where theres a lake I aint the risk/ tell em I’m great legendary/  Tupac and Nate you feel me/  I’m built like that, for real like that/ been tempered so I’m steel like that/ with steel like that/ Dope fiend rich, covered in pecks, multiple rocks/ step inside my garage I can disappear, multiple tops/  tell ‘em the state we in/ you can find us on multiple blocks/ Rolly, PK and U blow, rolling through multiple plots/ I’m classic/ this year I’m on fire/ somebody fan me/ next season gone be repeated like the Heat and Miami.

BET Awards 2012 & Pre-Show

I know, I know, I know. You have been wondering where I have been. Well, as a full-time poet I have been on the road. So blogging every night is not as ideal as it was when I was working a regular 9-5. But, I couldn’t let the BET Awards 2012 pass by without me blogging play-by-play for you.  I will be updating LIVE!!!!! So tell your friends…..call your cousins, hell, yell it to your mama. Tonight is going to get real, and I will give my honest opinion! Let’s go!

I apologize for spelling and grammar errors in advance…. there is no time to proof before I update LIVE! lol.

Pre-Show

 Okay… so I am trying to figure out who this white boy is that just opened up the Pre-Show. I mean, I know he was in the cypher last year but I can’t remember his name. but he is thumping extremely hard. Okay, he has a tad bit of that Twista flare. I’m gonna have to add this to my MP3 player to thump this in my car. Wait, I guess the HUGE MGK flashing on the columns behind him would imply that he is MGK. And then the song says Steve-O…. I’m confused as shit. I think I just told y’all my age. So he sings this song?  Sooooo he’s the Dirty South Version of Emeniem? I am loving his live performance flow… yeh… this needs to get added and QUICK!!!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO THIS RACHET FEMALE IS FEELING ON THIS DUDE’S CHEST. WAIT…. DID HE JUST CLIMB UP ON THE SCREEN AND DO THE DOUGIE?!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet you that the liability crew is in the back screaming for him to get his ass down. See, we are not used to people doing shit like that. But this is what happens when you invite white folks to black events. lol.

Did French Montana come out too? Okay, I don’t have this in my playlist… but I am slipping. lol. What, do Drita? lol. I wonder if the censor guy will get fired this year… because I have already heard a few slip throughs. lol.

Ummm… I am trying my hardest to figure out Rocsi’s dress. It is too light. It matches her skin but doesn’t look as if she is naked, but it just isn’t doing it for me. And the black shirt with the black collar on a white tux jacket is messing with my optical judgement on Terrance. Now I like the SHAPE and cut of Rocsi’s dress… just not the color. But I digress.

The Borgias S2~ Consequences of Choices

Recap of Season 1: El Fin

Episode 1: Consequences of Choices

LMAO!!! King Charles called Cardinal Rovere a clown. Well put!

If this is your first time watching The Borgias….then shame on you!!!! If you wish to refresh your memory of what has occurred last season then check out my blogs HERE.

Now, for the rest of us….. bow to the Borgia Pope

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, #CrimeMurderFamilyAmen !

Whoever is in charge of the intro footage should be crowned by the Queen herself! It is riveting, captivating and downright despicably intriguing!

The scene starts off with an altar boy attempting to poison the altar communion. In comes Cardinal Rovere, the cardinal wipes the floor of the evidence and continues with the communion ceremony.. And as he goes through the people of the church he comes across Cesare amongst them. HOW CLEVER!!!! Cesare goes to where Rovere is suffering from a swollen tongue from the poison.  He informs ROvere that there is no hiding place that the Borgias will not find him. WHAT THE POPE!!! The assassin guy, Micheletto, put the altar boy up to poisoning Rovere and instead of paying the boy for following through, he drowns the kid in a nearby well. Well I’ll be an atheist if that wasn’t messed up! Lol.

Poem 8: Age

So, for those who are in the dark, April is National Poetry Month. As a poet, I participate in the tradition of writing a poem a day for thirty days. Some will be Haikus, some will be mega short, and some will be epic.

I know you are wondering why I am choosing to write so many haikus for 30/30. Well, I hardly ever write haikus and have been using the same ones for like 3 years. I thought that it was about time I step out of my comfort zone and practice writing in such a small and succinct format. I figure if you cant say it in 17 syllables you will bore me with the rest of your 3 minutes. lol. I hope you enjoy.  P.S. Expect different things coming from me. I am on a love spree with my poetry lately. It’s all about stepping out of my box this year.

This haiku came from a conversation I had with an atheist that I follow on Twitter. I find that in our differences we are very much alike. I can’t wait to have a conversation with hr as to why she doesnt believe that my God exists. There is wisdom to be gain in accepting people’s beliefs without forcing your own upon them. Sometimes, the absence of their agreement challenges my own beliefs and makes me work harder to stand firm in them and know that I am doing what is right for me. But i still will stand as an example for her if she ever choses to change her mind.

If you saw my statement about being pryed ( sp) out of my sleep at damn near 6 am to write a haiku in Poem 4, then you should know I am still awake. Poems, at least in my case, tend to come in pairs. So, thankfully, I have one more for you and then I can go back to sleep…. God willing.

This haiku LITERALLY was in my dreams. I woke up because this poem said, “Write me, please.” The least I can say for being awake at 5:43am is that the poem was polite. So I hope that you like it. I, also, hope that the poem is 17 syllables. lol.
