Life So Far
my life's
confusing like ....
a rubik's cube mean mug no smile, think I'm the rudest dude
come & take a rendezvous look at my life hear it thru this tune
wasn't raised no dummy no money came up in the slum
in my chromosomes genecticist couldn’t tell you where I'm from
see all I had was moms, pops rarely raise me relatives were crazy
nam vets, reagonomics, scarface, inflation were the early eighty's
steady, staying in a school or some books they would say that I was gifted
all my mother's children pumped yay, except for me I lifted
paid attention to the destruction fucking dealing with the drama
watched older siblings credit work to their own moma
evil as osama, at night a zombie not tucking me
member when cps came & snatched us out of her custody
group home 2 foster home til I was grown & on my own
no real family support chronic homelessness lived n a old brogham
emotional scars just made it real hard &
even when I post on the ave & slept on the blvd
I never had fear in my heart/Let’s get this 1 thing straight from the start
Steadily shooting these darts/Thank god that I’m keen that I’m smart
I wish I just can press restart/My life it’s just coming apart
Shakespearian tragedy plot/I’m still waiting for the good part I’m PUSHING
South Central in the 90’s genocide and High Crimes
Watching uncles & cousins, friends all die from them drive bys
This shits insane it gets stranger childhood friends turn to bangers
Or coka slangers sign of the times throw the hood up twistin fingers
Aware of them dangers war on drugs & crimes a joke
Saw the riffs myself roll up smoke jack you up & plant that dope
18 years old with no hope no job education I’m a destitute
Living out my backpack slept on buses washed up in restaurant bathrooms
By 21 I’m done L.A. county jail frequent visits
Use to be flinching scary as a child now I’m far from timid
Played the got damn games in scrimmage got my own tilt now I’m winning
But losing folk left & right to the graveyard or life sentence
By the time 25 earned stripes but it’s far & few OG’s here on the streets
So these young boys now on the scene emulate wankstas they hear on CD
That’s just more man hours for the PD incarcerating short burns like a bidi
The little homie got 3 B.M.’s & he only 16 catching every STD
Tried to stay calm but the hood pressured me, tried to move to Palmdale, a hood refugee
But I came back love the smell of gunsmoke ghettobirds, pitbulls ugh, the 323
BUT THE HOOD HAS DRIED, GENTRIFIED NOWHERE TO RUN OR HIDE
Plus I don’t know no other place, this is where I’m probably gonna die
Don’t need your sympathy pity tears I’ll just laugh at yall
Cuz my experiences made me harder than half of yall

Tattoo Dreams – TruthAbout2pac.com
Tupac Amaru Shakur, better known to the world as 2Pac was the most influential, most prolific rapper of our generation. We had just celebrated what would have been his 40th birthday this year, and are coming upon the 15th year anniversary of his untimely death on September 13th, 2011. This year I am sure there will be many events within the Hip Hop community commemorating the death of Tupac Shakur. For one, the Outlawz, a group founded by 2Pac, will release their final album on that day. I am sure many radio stations will play all of his hits that day. Radio may play 2Pac’s hits but will they relay his message?
The late Gil Scott Heron said the revolution will not be televised; but I say it will be digitized. The Arab Spring probably would not have happened if the technology wasn’t there to encourage the people of Egypt, Tunisia and Syria to protest. With the help of the internet, and social media sites like Twitter.com, YouTube and FaceBook, you could start a revolution. Enter TruthAbout2Pac.com. The site dedicated to the truth about a revolutionary man, poet, rapper, actor named Tupac Shakur. www.TruthAbout2Pac.com is not just a website; it is a social network for people who have an affinity for 2Pac and it’s a community of truth seekers.
You can do many things on TruthAbout2Pac.com; start by creating a profile at the site, view videos, create and comment on blogs, & have discussions on the many forums on the site.
Founder of the site, Asher Underwood, is who I’d call a 2pac-ologist. As a teenager, he went to see the film ‘Juice’ and saw 2Pac in his first starring role as Bishop. Asher was intrigued and hooked on him since. Years later, before starting the website, he took classes at University of Washington in Seattle, and wrote a few essay’s on 2Pac for an assignment. He went into further researching the life of Tupac Shakur. Asher is a very knowledgeable person when it comes to 2Pac, and after a conversation with him, I learned a lot more about the man, Tupac Shakur. Mr. Underwood relayed that 2Pac was more than an actor/rapper, and was into numerology, and metaphysics. I decided to pick up a few books and articles on 2Pac to gain more insight on him as well. Needless to say, I am now a member of the site TruthAbout2Pac.com.
www.TruthAbout2Pac.com is a site worth checking out if you are a 2Pac fan, or if you’ve ever purchased a movie, poem, or album from 2Pac. I found out from member & author John Potash of a recently read book “FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders”
That 2pac was misunderstood--he was only pretending to be this gangster in order to appeal to gangs and politicize them. That’s not who he really was. He was really an intellectual prodigy, a brilliant guy who didn't belong to gangs. 2Pac was to politicize gangs.
Once you sign up (you can sign up with your facebook account too!) you will see how deep the rabbit hole goes. You may even find the lyrics or video to your favorite 2Pac song. You may even find out the Truth About 2Pac.

Drummer from Legendary Roots crew Questlove DJ's at CENTRAL in Santa Monica
Break'ing, Graffiti, & DJ'ing. Being part of Hip Hop music, you must
KNOW YOUR ROOTS. If you KNOW Hip Hop, then you must have heard of The
Roots, for that matter. The Roots, the house band for Late Night with
Jimmy Fallon, is a band from Philadelphia, started by Black Thought &
?uestlove back in circa 1986/87. Questlove aka Ahmir Thompson or
"Questo" is the drummer from the legendary Roots crew. who is also a
DJ. If his day job is drummer, and DJ by night, then ?uest doesn't
have to stick to his 9 to 5, because he has skills on the 1's and 2's.
He recently spun his legendary set on a crowd at CENTRAL S.A.P.C. in
Santa Monica, CA.
Opening up for DJ ?uestlove was DJ Murphy Lawless and The Beatards, an
electro Hip Hop group from New York City. They got the crowd hyped,
and ready for the epic set put on by ?uestlove. He spun over 200 hits,
usually starting out with an original record, then transitioning into
a current hit, that sampled that original song. First song he played
"P.Y.T." (Pretty Young Thing) by the late Michael Jackson, was a major
hit song in 1983. He then proceeded to slow down the original record,
upgraded the beat, and graduated to the second song "Good Life" by
Kanye West from his 2007 platinum album Graduation, which used a
slowed down sample of Jackson "P.Y.T". The crowd went wild! This went
on for the whole night. This was more than just a DJ set, he
essentially gave crowd a lesson in Hip Hop, and he went back to the
basics with music, back to the roots.
by ?uestlove to the crowd. "No sitting on the sidelines." he demanded,
to get the audience more into his set and into what he was doing. An
hour into his it, the crowd was still bobbing and moving to his
selected songs, the well known hits from the past 25 years, to the
unknown, obscured samples a lot of the producers in Hip Hop got them
from. Overall, ?uestlove DJ'd one of the best sets I've heard in life
and the CENTRAL Social Aid and Pleasure Club in Santa Monica was a
good setting. You truly have to hear it for yourself. See him on "Late
Night with Jimmy Fallon" as the band's drummer, his day job, and
follow him on twitter @questlove to catch him doing his night job as a
DJ, to find out when and where he spins next. Also find out who's at

The Opportunist aka THE BIO HAZARD B*tch!!!
Watch out for these biohazard ass females.....
I once was a vic of one of this type of woman, or shall I say girl. She saw that I had a new car, my own apartment, and I actually WORKED for a living. So she tried to trap me, and lock it down..... I was just young and dumb, 21 and not much game. I even ignored the red flags she had....kid....baby daddy drama...didn't get along with her momma.....on the county.......man o man.... I should of ran for the hills, but I tried to be a superhero (Capt Save A H*e). It didn't work, she didn't work and my finances fell. Long story short, lost my job, apt, and car...basically assed out. And you know where she went........BACK 2 HER MAMA HOUSE!!!! lol.......
anyway, I bounced back and did my thing. I learned my lesson and I will tell these young brothas, 17-22 with no kids and all the potential in the world to NOT mess with a BIOHAZARD B*TCHES...
If you are a young man, with a job, can hold your own...DO NOT MESS WITH WOMEN that have KIDS!
They already made a mistake, so it is likely they will make another with you.
DON"T EVER GO BAREBACK OR believe her if she says she's on "birf control"...
FINALLY, IF U DO GET A (MAIN) GIRL, make sure she's at least college educated or graduating with SOMETHING , make sure she's GOD FEARING, and make sure all ya homies, or no more than 3 other dude have had her, or knows her in a biblical sense........
BUT most importantly MAKE SURE YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL w your $$$ and keep it low stealth.
that'll keep the opportunist off ya.....

The KickStart- Western Alliance Compilation
The Music Game has been real fickle, and strange lately. Because Record Labels no longer have the control they once had, I think only GOOD MUSIC will prevail. Let the fans and supporter choose. ENTER WolfgangsProduction.com, and my up and coming project titled 'Wolfgang Presents.....The Western Alliance'
Trust and believe, this project will change the game, and change the west! The South has been dominating Hip Hop for a while now. We are about to take it back tho.....
Go to my Kickstarter.com page, http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/Wolfgangs and contribute to this project. Once it's done, you will be one of the 1st to get a copy of the project. Hip Hop rises in the east, but sets in the west ya'll, stay tuned!!!!!
