Video: The Thrift Shop Experience Ep. 1 (88-Keys)

Your Thrift Shop Experience is, very simply, your story. The metaphor here is that, in a thrift store, each item has a past; when you purchase that item, whether it’s a book, shirt, table, toy or coat, you’re buying into it’s history. When we communicate with each other, we share our experiences, and with this series, I wanted to find out what really got people open. Producer, emcee, writer and Polo-fiend 88-Keys is my first guest. He’s produced joints for Mos Def and J-Live, among others, and his latest album, “Death of Adam,” was executive-produced by Kanye West. Stay tuned for the raps inside and let me know what you think!

    So, I just got back from the biggest record store in town, and I asked the manager “how many of these Fat Joe cd’s they sold today?”….

    and she said:

    like 1

    I think she was trying to be nice saying like 1 instead of saying 0, maybe she thought I was a Fat Joe fan¦lol
    I guess she didnt notice the G-Unit bandana around my neck.

    =============================
    What you got against Corona’s my nigga?
    I mess with Heinie’s (Ayo!) on occasion, but an ice cold Coronita is the shit. Just the right size so it never gets a chance to get warm (Ayo?).

    of course NR > Twitter. But Twitter is cool too. It’s like NR comments for people with ADD.

    They asked him was Max B a distraction & he answers no but goes right into the fact he couldn’t do features & what not. I can understand the nigga feeling a ways, but why can’t he imagine how Cam felt. Dude needs to man up.
