While Baron & “Captain Jack” run the Oakland Warriors and Monta and Al drop in any points that are needed when B.D. & Jack have an off-night, this post is dedicated to my two favorite energizer-(rabid) bunnies: Matt Barnes and Kelenna Azubuike.

As the team’s 3rd captain, Matt Barnes was fundamental in our getting as far as we did last season. Many fans may not recall, but Monta Ellis took a back-seat in the playoffs and all but vanished, along with his confidence as a 20-year old youngster who had never seen the playoffs. It was Barnes’ “go hard or go home,” mentality that kept the Dubs rolling when we hit a wall, or just needed a lil’ boost. Peep game:

(MB smashing all over Devin Harris’ unattractive face.)
 

(And check this cat out having no remorse: ex-football player for sure.)

Matt Barnes started off slow this season, but has done nothing but play solid D, hustle his @$$ off and provide great floor games almost every night. (Example of a typlical MB outing: 8 points, 4 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block in 21 mins.) You gotta love those touchdown quarterback passes from end to end too.

Kelenna Azubuike came into the league pretty much and unknown. He was undrafted, born in London, England and played in the NBA’s ‘Developmental League’ after college where he lead the entire league in scoring.  I don’t know what this man’s work-out regime is but this man looks like he done stole David Robinson’s arms from 1991 and attached them to his body! Mahf*ckin’ Adonis over here (no homo…phobia). Check out some of his play thus far for the 07-08 season. Impressive to say the least:

(‘Buike Highlight Reel)

(‘Buike sh*tting on Chris “Caveman” Kaman so hard, Kaman has to leave the game.)

I will ALWAYS have love for J-Rich and for how he came to us when we were down and out, played his heart out and got better every year, but this kid combined with Monta just about equals JR’s fire (if not exceeds it). Sorry G-Mitch & Kori, I know that hurts your feelings (and mine too), but that sh*t is true. =P Watch those highlights again and tell me I’m lying.

Here’s to the “behind-the-scenes” cast members of ‘The Baron & Nellie Show.’ If yall keep going hard like this…
we won’t have to play Baron 48 minutes; he won’t get hurt; we make it to the playoffs and (hopefully) play the Mavs again; sh*t on Dirk’s upper lip; meet Utah and sweep them; lose to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals; remember that we are the Warriors and are the happiest we’ve been in a long time ’cause 2 years ago, to even get that far felt like a dream deferred.

As far back as I can remember, I have loved cheeseburgers. This isn’t necesarrily something to be proud of/happy about but it’s absoultely true. “The Red Onion,” has been a long-time favorite of mine and I now live 5 minutes away from it in El Cerrito, CA.

onion.jpg

If you are a fan of a simple, inexpensive, massive, delicious greasy buger, this is the place for you. Vegans and vegetarians need not apply because while “The Red Onion,” does serve a veggie burger, it is cooked on the same sizzling grill that all that juicy beef is. The onion rings, fries and milkshakes are heart-cloggingly delicious and if you’ve just had a really long day and nothing to eat, you will not leave this place unsatisfied.

On a very sad note, I dedicate this “FOOD & LIQUOR,” entry to Alfredo Fugueroa, the late owner of “The Red Onion.” In April of 2007, he was murdered in the restaurant when two armed men attempted to rob him. Here is a great San Francisco Chronicle article about the Richmond/El Cerrito community coming to the family’s aid and rasing some $50,000 to assist his family after Alfredo was shot and killed.  

I ate at “The Red Onion,” just last week and the place was immacualtely clean with friendly service just as I remembered it. If you are ever in the Richmond/El Cerrito area, stop on by and say ‘hi’ to a family-owned business with a ton of heart & delicious grubbery. Much love and respect to the Figueroa familia!

The Red Onion is located at:

p.s. It’s better AND less expensive than Nation’s!

For the 21+…
If you haven’t been to Pyramid Brewery in Berkeley, CA and you live in the East Bay you’re either a vegetarian or you’re a minor whose parents don’t drink alcohol. The food is good (not great), and the beer is brewed right there and is some of the best I’ve ever had.

During the winter Pyramid serves my personal favorite, “Snow Cap.”
snowcap.jpg

A rich, full-bodied winter warmer crafted in the British tradition of holiday beers. This deep mahogany colored brew balances complex fruit flavors with a refreshingly smooth texture, making Snow Cap a highly drinkable and desirable cold weather companion.

(Worst-analogy-ever warning*) Like Meagan Good, this beer is dark, incredibly smooth, full-bodied and you’d step over your own mother to get it. (*I have to be pretty damn smart to be this f*cking stupid.) All jokes aside, if you are a beer-drinker, I highly recommend giving “Snowcap Ale,” a try. One of the best dark ales I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve been to Scotland & England homie).

Pyramid Brewery is located at:
901 Gilman St
Berkeley, CA 94710

Eat, drink & be merry,

P.S. Alcohol kills millions a year and destroys lives, relationships and your brain.

P.P.S. I am hella stupid.

Harvey Wasserman on New Ohio Voting Report: “The 2004 Election Was Stolen… Finally We Have Irrefutable Confirmation” Click here to see/hear how “they locked down. They kept out the media. Suddenly the ballots disappeared…”

Too little, too late if you ask me…

Ohio’s top election official, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, announced Friday that the voting systems that decided the 2004 election in Ohio were rife with “critical security failures.” (“Critical Security Failures” = No Black Amerikan and/or non-republicans allowed to vote if you reside in a “swing” state.)

Harvey Wasserman, Senior Editor of Ohio based freepress.org states:

…you could have manipulated the 2004 election results with a Blackberry. You know, the Conyers report basically said all you had to do was drive by with a Wi-Fi. And she comes up and says there are very simple ways the 2004 election could have been flipped just like that. And that’s what we said since 2004. Look, this election could have—

We are guaranteed certain that John Kerry won Ohio in 2004. The election—the exit polls showed him winning. There was a flip of 6.7% in the exit polls from the official vote count. You know, my favorite, in Youngstown and in Franklin County in Columbus, in the inner city, people went in, and they hit touch-screen machines, and they pushed “Kerry,” and “Bush” lit up. How do you invent that? How do you make that up? We had votes that were taken away in a county in southeastern Ohio. They proclaimed a Homeland Security alert. Nobody knows where this came from. The FBI, the Homeland Security agency, they never called a Homeland Security alert, but suddenly—they locked down. They kept out the media. Suddenly the ballots disappeared.

I am not playing any f*cking games when I say that we need to ensure this does not happen again in ‘08. If we truly live in a democracy, we must work (by any means necesarry) to see that our civil rights are not taken away from us. When our ability/right to vote for who goes into office is taken away, we NO LONGER LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY. If we are to truly call our country “free,” we must stand up and act if that freedom is threatened. That freedom has not only been threatened, like/with the elections it has been STOLEN. Many of our ancestors died for the right to education, to vote, to f*cking read! (For those who didn’t know, American slaves of African heritage used to have their hands cut-off if it was discovered that they had become literate!)

I urge anyone who reads this, (esp. if you are from the ages of 18-30) to be ready to organize should anything fishy go down in the next elections. We cannot expect to have favorable futures for women, people of color, GLBTQ, the elderly,the physically challenged/handicapped, working-class/poor people or non-Christians if we continue lying down in our own cowardice & complacency, being led like sheep to the final slaughterhouse.

It is still a long ways away, but it needs to be in our minds. We can’t even impeach someone who has lead us astray at every opportunity he was afforded. (9-11, Iraq & WMDs, Katrina, Tsunami Aid, Social Security, Foreign Policy/Diplomatic Relations, Immigration, Jobs & the economy…the list goes on.) We now even have proof, that he was not democratically elected and we still can’t do sh*t! Call me crazy but isn’t there something inherently and fundamentally evil/wrong/sickening about that???

Holla at ya boy if ur feeling the way I am ’cause my brain doesn’t really know where to go right now. I hope you’re doing better than I am at this moment. I feel like I’m dying inside.

PEACE & BLESSINGS,
C

p.s. Like Howard Zinn, I believe Bush SHOULD institute a military draft. This way, it wouldn’t only be poor people (mostly of color) getting sent over there to kill/die and maybe an end to this war will come. If middle and upper-middle class people’s children start getting sent into “Mess-O-Potamia,” and actually have to come face-to-face with the ignorant violence of the Bush administration’s follies, maybe Amerika will stand up, take it’s thumb out it’s @$$ and do something.

Begin the draft whenever you please Mr. ”President” (if that is your real name). 

“PERSEPOLIS,” is the story of little girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and is the dopest graphic novel/comic I’ve ever read. This graphic autobiography written and illustrated (beautifully/vividly) by Marjane Satrapi is stoopid-doo-doo-dumbarton-bridge (“very cool,” for the uninformed). I truly can’t recall being so captivated by a “comic book,” since I was child. The story grabs you and you can’t help but fall in love with the little heroine (Satrapi) in this intricate, amazing (true) story.

 persepolis_cover_big.jpg

Persepolis is a wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.

persepolis.jpg

To learn more about the Marjane Satrapi click here cuzzo. She currently resides in Paris, France and her story/graphic novel was just made into a feature film that recently won a ton of awards at different film festivals around the world.

Peep the trailer:

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the history of Islam in the Middle East/Iran/Iraq, this is a moving, funny, humanizing, fresh-ta-death look at a powerful little girl’s journey into womanhood. Think ‘Boyz N’ the Hood’ on the other side of the world.

Read a F*cking Book (even if it’s got a ton of pictures in it),

Aaron McGruder is a brilliant, comical/intellectual genius. I used to read his comic strip “The Boondocks” in the Newspaper every Sunday (yes, I read the paper). I was so excited when I actually got to meet him and hear him speak at UC Santa Barbara for the “UC Student of Color Conference” back in 2003. He sounded like one of the most cynical people (with an awesome sense of humor of course) I’d ever heard at the time, but looking back now I realize the brother was just being real. He told us that he was terrified for the future of the world and Amerika. He told us that he had just received a call from Democratic National headquarters in D.C., asking that he consider the thought of running for President. He went on to say that he’d never been more terrified in his life and explained to them that he was a cartoonist, and the fact that they had called upon someone who makes comics to run for President displayed just how “up SH*T’s creek,” the Democratic Party must be. (Oh, Democrats…Sometimes I think you WANT to fail.) =T

Anyhoo, his comic strip (as most of you know) later became a a TV show of which I am a faithful watcher/owner of the DVD collection. The 2nd season just began and that sh*t is even more hyphy than the first season (if at all possible). Whatever Dave Chappelle didn’t get to touch on, Aaron McGruder serves up like Prince giving Charlie Murphy pancakes after schooling him on the hoop court. (“Why don’t you try bathing yourself in the waters of Lake Minitonka?”) =P 

Here is a preview of season 2:

If you need some laughs from everything that makes you wanna curl up and cry, check out Huey, Riley and Grandpa. It hurts so good.

“I’m nice with car-tunes (cartoons) jus like Aaron McGruder…”

This is HELLA old but is so good I had to post it. If you’ve never seen this, prepare to love it and laugh your @$$ off. I LOVE when Bill “Jerkface” O’Reilly gets mad and/or made fun of. So beautiful…*ahhhh. =)  

And here is O’Reilly talking about how Snoop Dogg f*cked his couch.

Bill, you are so unintelligent it’s wonderful. I am (almost) too thoroughly entertained by your racist/homphobic/sexist/classist/oppressive stupidity to care about the fact that you have a TV show. I say “almost,” because I know there a million sh*t-ners out there that that love, adore and think just like you but have money, power and respect. And that…is my worst nightmare. For you, it’d be like Cornell West being President and Jon “Jewy” Stewart being his second in command.

Here’s to everytime you invite someone on your show to discredit them and make yourself look like a bumbling @$$hole.

L’Chaim!

On December 4th, 2007, Texas Rapper Chad “Pimp C” Butler was found dead in his hotel room in Los Angeles, CA.  Officials said he apparently died in bed and there were no signs of foul play. Autopsy and toxicology results won’t be available for up to eight weeks.

Pimp C was one half of Houston Hip-Hop supergroup UGK (UnderGround Kingz) along with Bun B. Together they were responsible along with the likes of Scarface and Outkast, for putting Southern Rap “on the map.”

Pimp C’s funeral will be held in his hometown of Port Arthur, Texas this Thursday. There will be a service that will be open to the public, but the burial itself will be attended only by close friends and family.   

With all the blatant homophobia in Hip-Hop these days (and always), it was dope to hear Bun B speak on his love for his brother when he said:

I know we’re in the era of ‘pause’ a­nd ‘no homo’ and all that. But if you really love your homie, don’t feel like you can’t tell him you love him. Because when things happen, you’re going to wish you had said it. -Bun B

REAL TALK.

This one’s for you [Pimp C]had Butler. Thank you for surviving as long as you did under the circumstances you came up in. Thank you for never being apologetic in being the person Amerika made you become.

UGK feat. Outkast – Intl’ Players Anthem (I Choose You)

Jay-Z feat. UGK – Big Pimpin’

UGK – The Game Belongs to Me

Rest In Peace.

ll4_122.jpg[Note: There's nothing wrong with this picture, I actually DO turn that red when it's hot. =P]

A week ago, I was at San Francisco State University at a “Japanese-American Personalities” (bad acronym) course as a guest-speaker, discussing my trip to Cuba as a member of a Cultural Exchange that united Japanese/Okinawan-Amerikans with Japanese/Okinawan Cubanos. I spoke a bunch about how race and class are very different in Cuba in relation to Amerika specifically because of socialism. While racial stereotypes exist in Cuba, there are no socio-economic classes that reinforce the idea that certain people are prone to violence, poverty and/or are inherently inferior. A life-changing experiece to say the least.

Because a big part of my being there was to explore/learn about Cuban Hip-Hop, I discussed how emceeing has assisted in my discovering/exploring my own mixed-race, Asian Pacific-Amerikan identity. One of the students in this class (a young Pilipino-Amerikan) wrote me after I visited the class and asked a lot of questions about whether I thought Hip-Hop was as prevelant in Japanese-Amerikan communities as it is in Pilipino-Amerikan communities, and why or why not. The questions he asked me for his research paper were very though-provoking and really made me think about a lot of things I had never really been able to put into words.

Here is my letter about JA/API Hip-Hop to a young Bay Area Pinoy Hip-Hoppa:

Peace ——,
Thanks for the kind words and for asking that I be a source of your research paper. I had a great time going to see yall on Friday and hopefully will be going to SFSU with you soon. Ill be applying for the MA in Asian Amerikan studies for the fall of 08.

So here goes nothing…
My name is Colin Masashi Ehara aka Senbei and I am a 4th generation japanese/scottish/native-amerikan born and raised in the Bay Area (Richmond, CA). I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 04 and have been the Coordinator of an After School Itervention program for “At-risk” (below grade level in reading/math and/or English language Learner) youth at a K8 School in San Rafael for the last 3 years.

I teach a weekly “Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes” class at my school and am one half of the Hip-Hop group, “Broken Halos” along with Pinoy/Vallejo emcee Jeimil Belamide. We tend to address issues of equity and social justice, but also delve into everyday life, from chiefin’ and bullsh*ttin’ to love and simple bragadocio emceeing.

I used to feel some need to “prove myself” in Hip-Hop circles that were mostly Black and/or Latino, but after working so hard for such a long time, I find myself on the other end, many times questioning others’ credibilty. As far as emceeing goes, I usually won’t buy a cd unless the rapper can outrhyme me. (It sounds conceited but after 7 years, I haven’t found many emcees who touch on the subjects I do and do it with swagger and the wordplay I do.) =P I think somewhere down the line I realized that if you don’t truly believe that you are an incredible emcee, you have NO business emceeing! yadadaimeatball?

As far as race/ethnicity goes in Hip-Hop, Japanese-Amerikans have been either not very involved or very much in the background/shadows. People like Dan “the automator” Nakamura ahve worked with Del, Kool Keith, J5, Lupe Fiasco and a slew of other famous and underground emcees. Mike Shinoda of Linkin park has produced for Jay-Z, Styles of Beyond, Ghostface Killah, Common, Pharaohe Monch and Lupe Fiasco to name a few. Because he is Hapa like me many people think he is Latino because of his ethnically ambiguous appearance.

The first reason that I beleive JAs aren’t as heavily involved in Hip-Hop culture is the issue of class. While Japan has historically been a colonizer in the capitalist world we know, the Phillipines have been a colonized nation. Due to these factors and the poverty they create, the need for Pilipinos to leave their homeland to seek opportunity is greater than that of Japan, and therefor the diaspora form the PI is greater than that of Japan in the U.S. (I am willing to bet that almost every Japanese kid at SFSU is in that class youre in!)

Because race and class are directly tied together in the U.S., and the Asian/Latin-Amerikan experience are primarily marginalized, the media has created a very White/Black paradigm on TV, newspapers, magazines, etc. Those of us who are neither Black or White usually tend to identify with either a Black or White (or mixture of both) experience depending on our class and/or skin tone.

With people of Japanese ancestry usually (but not always) being of fairer skin complexion and mostly (but not always) of middle class background, many Japanese-Amerikans find themselves forced into indentifying with a more Caucasian experience.
Example: the Asian-American Republican Association at UCSC (WHACK!) Filipinos in the U.S. are primarily (but not always) of a darker complexion and many times (but not always) of working-class background. This experience funnels young Filipinos into identifying more with Black-Amerikan experience. Example: Every Pinoy kid in Daly City is born with a turntable in his crib (jk) and a short, bald Asian kid can walk around there as a local Hip-Hop celebrity (DJ Q-Bert). =)

The reason that Hip-Hop has played such a huge role in my life begins with class and ends with race/ethnicity. 1st of all, growing up in the Richmond public schools gave me a very in-depth look at Hip-Hop and Black Amerikan culture from a very early age. (My first Public Enemy tape was given to me by a friend in the 3rd grade.) I began listening to Hip-Hop in the mid 80s and this was a time of rebellion and politicized message within hip-hop. This played a huge role in the person I am today. Hip-Hop always had a purpose back then, and making money was never the #1 priority back then. It was raw, uncut and unapologetic and to not get your ass whipped or be terrorized everyday in school in Richmond, meant having this same mentality. I caught on very early as to what my stance of bravado should be every day at school, even as a small, Asian-Whiteboy.

The second part of why Hip-Hop became such a huge part of my life was because I discovered somewhere along
the way, that Hip-Hop didn’t necesarrily have to be saturated in “Blackness,” but could be used in the same way to combat the racist oppression of Asian Pacific Amerikans as well. I have noticed for a long time the way Amerika has silenced Asian Pacific Amerikan men and women, and that Hip-Hop was basically a “voice for the voiceless.” If I was “voiceless,” as an mixed race asian kid, what was stopping me from using the mic to be heard? Emceeing is a DIRECT contradiction to “Shikata Ga Nai,” (“Nothing can be done about it.”) a phrase used by JAs when they were interned in concentration camps during WWII. While there was a time when we were forced into silence and blatantly oppressed, being able to grab a microphone and say whatever you damn well please, is incredibly humanizing & liberating!

I also had some privilege in this area because unlike most of my “fullblood” Asian/Japanese brothers, I am also Scottish and Native Amerikan. Because I am ethnically ambigous, a good number of people think that I am either Latino or (sometimes) Filipino/Pacific islander. Due to my speech, manner of dress, etc, these folks are less likely to question my “hood credentials” when first meeting and/or hearing me.

It is my belief however, that people who were not a part of Hip-Hop during its inception (ie: Black/Latino folks in the Bronx created this culture) have a responsibilty if they wish to be a part of its culture. If you are not Black/Latino and wish to be a part of Hip-Hop culture, you must work to ensure you are creating expression that GIVES back to Hip-Hop and doesn’t take away from, or discredit it. This means being true to yourself/community, knowing & respecting the history/architects of Hip-Hop and never neglecting the culture for your own financial benefit (ESPECIALLY if you are of middle or owning-class background!). (This is all my just my personal opinon.) Good Example: A whiteboy from the suburbs in Davis, CA who knows all about Hip-Hop culture, pays his respects and
works harder than almost everyone in the industry (DJ Shadow).

Oppressed people in Amerika be they Women, Asian, Latino, Gay/Lesbian, any non-Christian, etc. owe Black Amerikans a debt of gratitude. Just as the Civil Rights Movement helped to ease blatant oppression and exploitation of women and all people of color, Hip-Hop has opened doors for so many marginalized people, be they Asian Pacific Islander ex-gangbangers turned activists (Native Guns) or a working-class, “trailer trash” anglo kid (Eminem).

I wish I could tell you that I knew more about Japanese Hip-Hop, but I dont know much. My expertise has been primarily in Amerikan Hip-Hop history/culture. (How ironic that the one JA rapper you know don’t know shit about Japanese Hip-Hop. =P) I do know that I LOVE DJ Krush, Honda and that “Dragon Ash,” is pretty dope. Also, Murakami is an incredible graf artist and did Kanye’s album cover. Because of Internment during WWII, most people of Japanese hertitage found themselves disconnected from our motherland, because to be “Japanese” was to be an enemy and “Anti-American.” This idea was internalized and passed down through the generations so that today, Japanese & Japanese-Amerikans share some VERY different experiences.

I hope this is all helpful. Gimme a holla if there is anything I forgot to address, or if u have any other questions. I am glad I could be of assistance.

Have a blessed day brother.

This week marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Author/Activist/Hero James Baldwin.

james-baldwin.jpg

Baldwin was born in NYC in 1948 into poverty and grew to become one of the most influential, widely-heralded global citizens of the 20th century. If you are unfamiliar with his work, I highly recommend beginning with “The Fire Next Time.” His works are testaments to the historical systematic oppression of African heritage and Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Transgender/Queer communities.

“I think the other reason, and perhaps the most important reason, that I am throwing these suggestions out to you tonight is that in this country, every black man born in this country, until this present moment, is born into a country which assures him, in as many ways as it can find, that he is not worth the dirt he walks on. Every Negro boy and every Negro girl born in this country until this present moment undergoes the agony of trying to find in the body politic, in the body social, outside himself/herself, some image of himself or herself which is not demeaning. Now, many, indeed, have survived, and at an incalculable cost, and many more have perished and are perishing every day. If you tell a child and do your best to prove to the child that he is not worth life, it is entirely possible that sooner or later the child begins to believe it.” -James Baldwin (in OAKLAND! @ Castlemont HS, 1963)

As an openly gay man, James Baldwin also became increasingly outspoken in condemning discrimination against gay people. I have to give major props to Michael Eric Dyson who, while addressing a large caucus of the Black Christian church, said: “As an oppressed people, we need to be better at getting behind our Gay brothers and sisters. Some of you may not agree with a homosexual lifestyle, but without brothers like James Baldwin, none of you could walk around with any dignity today. Baldwin spent his entire life demanding that Black people receive respect, and to speak of him with any disdain is to speak ill of yourself.”

Baldwin spent the majority of his later years living in Paris, France and spoke many times about the fact that living in America as a Black man was mostly “too difficult to be worth the trouble.”

You are my hero and I love you James Baldwin (no homo…phobia).
Rest in Peace. Thank you.

*Phrase coined by Kori Chen.

The Dubs had a coming out party (no homo…phobia) after getting beaten in overtime at home by the Orlando Magic on Monday. The Warriors won by a score of 120-90 (30 points!), and Monta Ellis continued his solid play, with a NARSTY dunk over Andrew Bogut.

2090124959_3763f66a5c_o.jpg

(F*ck yo’ couch Bogut! And-1!) 

It was dope to see Yi Jianlian (Chinese K.G.) dunk on DJ Mbenga super-viciously but still know we was whoopin’ the Bucks @$$. T-Hud (Troy Hudson) is back from his injury and had a beautiful alley-oop (6 assists off the bench!) to rookie Brandan Wright, Azubuike went 6-7 from the field and DJ Mbenga had a career-high 7 boards! Everyone was BALLIN’, and when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE:

2090124983_bdac5eb5f8_o.jpg
(Bob Fitzgerald, Jim Barnett & Matt Stienmetz’ wet-dream.)

If we continue to play like this, I don’t think anyone in the Pacific division wants any parts of us. When Austin Croshere is smashing on fools, you know we musta put a hurting on that @$$!

Golden state of mind like Yi (yee),
C
