No homo, I’m just glad you iight chief. Like I told everybody else, I hope you didn’t do nothin’ stupid. The streets is too hot (literally and figuratively), pools are closed early, murder rate is still climbing here… ain’t worth it.

Exxes+Alcohol=Drama
If you`re not on fucking terms with an ex,I don`t see the novelty/incentive.Y`all can never really be friends with unsettled baggage.I may be able to stomach a civil convo every now and then but if we ain`t still fucking then whats the point?The pussy is what I call “headache tax”or price of doing business.It`s very rare exxes can be plutonic friends unless the split was amicable,and shit that`s rare as fuck.I have never had a friendly split.

i guess it also saves money on gas expenses for the multiple cars in the warehouse if you have your own fueling station on your residential compound.
August 17th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
fanny packs are about to make a comeback too
^ Yo, we must be on the same frequency because I was thinkin’ the same thing about a month ago. But if I start seeing niggas in them Wesley Snipes “White Man Can’t Jump” Biker shorts, somebody is gettin’ clotheslined.

I can’t believe Timbo is as high as he is.
He ruined Jay’s album and still ate big time.

I’m glad that there’s now a list more retarded than album sales for the internet to judge rap artists on.

^Daps my G. Mama aint raise no fool (old black person voice) I wouldn’t do nothing to jepordize my freedom over some drunk conversation that lead to having feelings involved, no matter how wasted I am. Niggas is dying and going to jail everyday in baltimore, if anything it’s my fault for putting myself in that situation (n) cause I know what the outcome could be.

August 17th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
i never had a friendly split but i thugged my way thru it. mostly an ex would get @ me months/years later jus cause she missed the pipefitting and HVAC like company i possess.
i can’t imagine then said chic rockin my snotbox cause i withheld from her.
this nigga joe basically made her feel like shit by saying in however many words that since she seeded up, she aint a prospect for a meaningful relationship. so she hauled back and released a bolo on him. no AA woman wants to hear that shit period, she aint gonna take it from some dude that already beat that she checking for. on a hot summer b-more night?

Speaking of HVAC, the crew just finished installing my new AC. Finally got the central air working again after a month of 90 degree weather in the Chi. Niggas is now trying to charge me $100 for a shell to go around it so it wont fry out again. Nope. Just bought a $50 5-year warranty on it so, it will be in their best interest to put that mother fucker on it for the FREE!!!
August 17th, 2010 at 3:18 pm

^^*Dr Phils it up*
Joe was feeling some resentment towards her for him not being the baby’s pappy, the fact he invited her and friends to chill after not seeing her in how long displays a hope and desire for acceptance and belonging from her on his part.
Although he tried to repress his true feelings the 4Lokos he was drinking brought all those feelings to the forefront.

^^None of it..they only count cancelled checks..no account on what you had to pay out of that check for , sound, lighting, pyro, managers, stage, wardrobe, security etc.
August 17th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Jay-Z pulled in $63 million over the past 12 months, earning him his second straight hip-hop cash crown. His income level places him in the 35% tax bracket, which means he’ll pay Uncle Sam about $22 million this year–a sum greater than the total earnings of any other rap star besides second-ranked Diddy.
^^
damn

Only thing that should be bruised on a gul is that ass from the pipe being served… I done told yall niggas yall can’t be punchin guls in face and stomach breakin ribs and shit…SMH
August 17th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
since she seeded up, she aint a prospect for a meaningful relationship.
^^
No broadbwants to hear that shit. Iwouldnt normally do that but I told this little corny white girl the same thing not to long ago, but she was trippin’ something serious.
She got a son by a black dude (she was into black men) and talking about the reason she’s single is because all of the black men she meets are unemployed, dumb, or have no ambition. As a black man and a soon to be college grad myself, I got offended and had to drop the FACTS:
the nigga you lookin’ for ain’t lookin’ for you, bitch
Needless to say, she’s dead to me

I think Joe88 had every right to be truthful as to why he didn’t want to be wit shorty… He also had every right to be angry he got his chin checked wether bitch or nigga… Commendable he didn’t hit her back although if niggas ain’t hold him back coulda been a different story… Only gripe I have is that you sent the bitch an apology letter… Fuck that… A Bitch woulda had to apologize to ME then took me’ telling her how lucky she is she not a man, and I mighta had to get some “I’m sorry” head if she wanted a chance at reconcilition… Keeping it funky wit ANYONE does not give a person the right to put they hands on you…
