Love & Basketball

Hello loves,

I am at work right now bored out of my mind!!! Lately I have been feeling sick, it must be this bi-polar Florida weather that is getting to me. In addition to feeling sick I have been missing New York sooo very much. It's just been one of those "blah" weeks, that nothing seems to be going your way. I listened to a lil bit of Tupac, Immortal Technique and Cassidy which made me feel better. I also checked out some artists from ReverbNation and was impressed by a few. Shout out to TRE'BARZ, keep doing your thing!

Most of you don't know but I love my basketball as much as I love my Hip Hop. As of now its the Conference Finals, and its not looking to great for both of the teams I want to end up in the finals, but I can't lose faith right? Im super excited for next season though to have my Orlando Magic playing, the improved Knicks with their recently traded players, Rashard Lewis back from his injury , and to not have to watch Lebron's face in every other game. The future is looking pretty bright, just gotta keep your head up, and like Tupac Shakur once said, "For every dark night, there's a brighter day." Much Love, Michelle.

                                                

Song of the day: Cassidy- Innocent Man. 

                                                  

An Ode to Hip Hop

QUEENS

This is home. I remember doing those musicals at P.S 70 every month, those fun-filled saturdays in Astoria and Flushing Meadows park with all the fam, those delicious shishkabob stands in every corner along with the gyros and icees carts, the 7 train, the kids hustled in a corner spitting rhymes, the array of ethnic food that you won't get anywhere else, the basement homes, shopping on Steinway, the fireflies in midsummer nights,  La Guardia Airport, teenagers playing handball anywhere and everywhere there were a wall, the realness in people that some misinterpret with being "rude" or "cold". Such love for a city that is filled with endless dreams and desires.  Queens being such a diverse community enables it to come across astounding talents. Some of the best started right here, those including LL Cool J, Run DMC, 50 cent, Mobb Deep, Cormega, Nas, Kool G Rap. Keep Hip Hop alive, I will be home soon <3.

simply the best
