Dad almost whooped my ass but he looked it up and saw the album and was "oh". He went out and bought it for me too. Good times. Good times.

Joey Diaz Oh hey lol, I love waking up to hip hop especially with beats this beautiful. They're *perfect* songs to wake up to. My favorite part of the day is when it's so early its still dark out. Between that darkness and the sunrise, is the best part of the day. I think it's called twilight? I just asked my bf, but he wasn't sure either. I had to train myself to get up at 5am. I've always hated the morning. But I grew to love being up early, listening to music and walking around outside looking up at stars and the moon that's still there. Even today (on Sundays) I'm up by 6 and at the *very* latest 6:30-7am. Now I'm rambling.. ok bug u later-

Funny enough…I actually saw this on BET late night one day before traveling. I spent the whole time waiting for the video to close out so I could see who it was cause I missed the opening. I would up asleep right after and when I woke up I was a changed man. Revolution was brewing in my soul and these dudes were the instigators. Needless to say I wasn’t ready because while I was determined to look the up I didn’t because I forgot who it was. But one fateful day I heard it again and having been proved worthy of thier music I wrote it down and at lunch transported myself to the nearest record store in DC and bought ‘the Minstrel Show’. Revolution sparked and mission accomplished….
