Max-B Is BAAAAAACK!!!
How can we have an alley that looks like this? Don't blame our Mayor either. Blame yourselves because I see people buy dope ass cars, and nice ass houses and then they don't cut their own grass. That's like trying to smoke crack and not putting FIRE to the pipe! (I'm not condoning DRUGS AT ALL...I'm simply making a point) If your going to Ball out, DO THAT SHIT!!! But, do it right. If your a leader in your community be one! Don't just talk about it. If your a Bookworm, be one! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, (In my Clay Davis voice) you may be the person who figures out a faster way to get to the Moon. Either way just know that when your neighborhood has an alley that was once concrete and then grass takes over it's time to take a look around and realize that no one cares about you or your hood and you need to do something about it before some institution or business moves your bluffing ass out of that condemed place you sleep and eat at!
Where Are You Going?Now, she's hopping off the Bus at 8:30 A.M. so that means she was up early on this day. Meaning she knew what she was going to do at least 24 hours before this scene even occured. This brings me into my subject matter for the day. As I hear the Thunder and see the Lightning outside I can think of plenty things I could be doing but, I decided to keep my eyes open until they are RED because I love my people.
When you have a vision you don't sleep, you eat where you get your thoughts, and you don't stop until you can no longer brainstorm. As number 4 on "Here I Stand" shuffles on my iTunes, Usher ends his bar with the part about "Grape Jelly" I have to pause...........................I think this CD shows Growth and Depth but, some of ya'll would like to hear a nigga keep talking about his Confessions. I don't want to see someone do something the same way everytime. So even if he was to make his next 10 albums confessing about some shit he did, as long as it's fresh how he flips it; I would be anxious to hear it, the same way I'm anxious to hear Jeezy & Re-Up Gang find numerous ways to flip bricks and always make it sound like you can't get caught or it's your 1st time you heard them talk that shit. To get where I am right now, I had to listen to Dopeboys like T.I.P. & Jay-Z because I got more Inspiration from them than I ever got from Leaders and Speakers because it's easy to see where they're vision took them. Hov is damn near a billionaire and needless to say Obama is the closest thing we'll ever get to see as a prominant figure who is in touch with his own culture enough to be globally accepted. I wasn't around to see Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton grow up. Even if I was they never did enough to spark my interest enough for me to even consider them legendary . What have they done for me? But, make it harder to be a Black Man in corporate America.
I see things sooooooooo much different these days than the average Human Being. You see a Bus, I see the difference of about $350 per month in my pocket to fund my DREAM. I'd rather fund MY DREAM than to keep wasting my money just to say I drove to work. Also, the lesser amount of cars on the street creates a better enviornment for you and I. Which means our children may actually be able to live within our almost diminshed O-Zone layer. Yup, I rode the Bus. Laugh at me all you want but, I bet the next time you see me with a Bus pass and a full tank of gas, I bet I'll be the one laughing at yo' ass!!!! LMAO-
I saw a man on Television get 151 miles per gallon with a Hybrid Honda Civic! Only in America would a mofo try some shit like that. Okay, I don't have to tell what his Race or what his Etnicity was because if you put 2 and 2 together "We just don't have time for all that!". It's all love though, because that shows that our Economy has shit fucked up for errrrrrrrrrrrrrbody! I love all races, colors, and creeds. But, one thing that is evident is that we all are hurting in some kind of way. It may not mean you are flat broke or a straight up loser but, it may mean no more frivalous spending and popping bottles on a weekly basis. Don't let Usher make you think "You got to keep it coming all night long" everytime you go out to have a good time. Don't do what I do because I know what I can spend and I can keep wines of all sorts coming because they don't cost $150-$300 a bottle they cost like $25 to start with. If you niggas were smart you would buy it wholesale and start a wine sellar or even stack your rack from a warehouse but, once again I'm telling my people to do something some of us may never do GROW UP!!!
On Friday of last week I was on my way to work and I saw the picture above. This picture is from one of my favorite streets in East Baltimore. You tell me how many places in East Baltimore have you ever seen grass in this amount other than in a Ziploc? I thought I had a story but, a picture is worth a thousand words.FAST FACTS
Nas moved a little over 100k in his 1st week but, the album is excellent in my opinion! Fuck Def Jam, that would have never happend if Kevin & Lyor were still over there! Nas is a platinum artist and he sold more at SONY. Go back home to the label that appreciates you NAS.
Sincerely Yours,
T.B.U.R.A.
Hi Haters!!!
