Filed under: Jansport J, thought provoking conversations

It seems as if the new trend in urban culture/music is to make up phrases that become apart of the Hip Hop lexicon. Count me in. I’ve actually been using some while I’ve been away from the site. It’s proof that I’ve had a lot of time to be an idiot on tour, in studios, and on twitter. Here we go:

TRAP SWAG TRAAAAP: That’s very good; Congratulations; yes, she is attractive; yes you have my approval to carry out that action.

YAWP: a way to say yes to any perceived gangmember or white woman with a phat ass.

PARLIAMENTARY PIMPIN, HOOT HOOT YA CLAAAW: We are doing rather well as a unit. A toast to all of us. Understand.

DIP DIP: Dip Dip is Dip Dip.

HOT SAWCE BAWLIN SHAWTY: To excel on the highest level.

JANSPORT JIGGA: FUNNY CHIT by Sport

Filed under: it made me laugh so i posted it, Jansport J, Video

Admittedly, I haven’t posted in a while.

Admittedly, I’m very scatterbrained at the moment and can’t think of any kind of editorial to write that wouldn’t piss somebody off or be considered “shots” (pyoom pyoom pyoom).

So I just decided to post 4 videos from my YouTube favorites folder. Maybe you’ll laugh with me? Oh by the way, that definitely is my beat “Girl” off of MoveMeants in the last video.
