Wow, that's a little different.....oh, I'm coming with you this weekend so add another person.

I say you sneak in a bottle of Hypnotiq, son!! For real? If you want to party then man up and pay that extra few bucks, I'm sure your friends hold you down at times too........it can't be that serious!

I think I love you........

PREACH!!! PREEEEEEEEEEACH!!!! *waving my fan and doing the church dance, catching the holy spirit*

How about everyone stop arguing about hip hop and come to the motherfucking club already? We're gonna have a good time whether it's there or not, cause that's how we get down!!!

WERD. For some reason I knew you all were gonna tell me his name was The Hog..... LOL!

Aaah, you ain't right. Now I have to ask you about your dog.....he's so cute!! I can tell you love him to death. What's his name? I like the last caption you had up under his other pic, something about "But I bet I can kick your ASS!!!"

Yeah, Saleen! Stop hatin', Boo, stop hatin'!!

Hey Lola! Thanks!! You know we've gotta make moves this weekend then. Are you coming out? I'll definitely be there. LMAO @ MrMatas.....that was my first time there in ages so I am unaware of his tracklist redundancy. I had a blast, got to meet him and he was very accomodating since I just rolled up on him in the booth like, "What's up?!?!" I'm looking forward to checking out the new spot, though I have heard complaints from my NY heads that it looks like Exit. I don't care what it looks like as long as the music's good!

LMFAO....not Frank White..... Pod, what you say is sooo true! I've been here for about three weeks now and while I love it, it is definitely a little more seedier than I thought it would be. And I fucking HATE the fact that I can't be walking down the street at 4 or 5am around here without someone thinking I'm a fucking hooker, like a young woman wouldn't be doing anything else at that time - having fun maybe??? I don't need to fuck for money, I publish books that will hopefully empower women who DO to find something more meaningful to do with their lives. The guys you encountered at the pizza shop were some real assholes, it's a good thing they were arrested, maybe that made them think twice about behaving that way for no reason. I share the same sentiment as your black friends, it's infuriating that a few random idiots wreak havoc on such a beautiful city and cause its residents to make the rest of the law-abiding, peace loving individuals feel unwanted here. For the sake of keeping it gully? Then you get niggas like Saleen that diss the entire culture and talking mad shit(don't get mad baby, I'm fuckin witchu ). Seriously though Saleen, why do you feel the way you do about hip hop? I'm very interested in your response as well.......

LOL! I sent you an e-mail as well.....see you there!

Yeah baby, I'm over there holdin it down, reppin the 305 now! I miss notallthere. Let's fly him back down for another visit so I can finally meet his ass. That poem.....fucking hilarious....he's so CRAZY!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that, man. But FUCK ______!!! You obviously knew that it was time to part ways and that it was time to move on, so YOU took the first step. Good job. If there is no way you can collect a severance pay or unemployment, then sign up with a temp agency so you can eat and live in the meantime, and think about what you REALLY want to do and work on making it happen. You probably already know! Sometimes if we don't move fast enough or ready to act on faith, we are forced to and then the real blessings come.

Happy Birthday, cutie pie!!

Crazy fuckers!

CTFU @ your joke with sound effects! Won't have time to reply right now, but will DEFINITELY finish this convo tomorrow, hope others have input as well. Definitely looking forward to meeting you too. I like your style.

I love Saleen because he just doesn't give a fuck. But honey, hip hop is much more than that. It's a style of music that gave voice to an oppressed people and enabled them to express themselves in many other ways - dancing, DJing, and graffiti. Burgeoned into a $50 billion a year business, but artists and labels have chosen profit over creativity. You cannot deny its influence. Stop being so mean! Pod, you make an excellent point. Thuggery knows no color, but since we are talking about hip hop, I think the assumption would be that we are talking about blacks. Tell me, what incidents have you witnessed that make you feel this way? Just curious, and want to know what the hell I'm getting myself into......

Where's The BEACH?!?! That will be our title. A series about the reverse-gentrification of South Beach and the opinions, reflections and proposals of the people who care about it the most. Without being racist. LOL!

Sounds like a viable plan to me....you are a great writer! Funny because I was dragged to Bed last night by my girl and there was a huge crowd at the door waiting to get in, becoming irate and LOUD and embarrassing. "They don't like black people here! They don't want us to come in here!" and on and on.....I cringed in disbelief because not only was it a hip hop night ( ), but that makes it worse for people just standing there minding their business and waiting patiently to get in. I think this would be a good story idea for the New Times.......

^^^^THAT is the answer I was looking for.....but how did this trade transpire? What made SoBe the new "hip-hop playground" as it's being called?

I hear ya. Just be glad Saleen didn't see or chose to ignore this thread! But I AM curious about the history of the clubs in SoBe....Pod isn't the first to say that they've changed.....when and how? It's almost like reverse gentrification. Anyone?

Aw c'mon Pod, it's not EVERYONE, but all it takes is three unruly assholes to ruin the reputation of an entire community; one that can usually separate talking shit on wax from actually aspiring to be like that. Common sense usually helps, though lack of it is not exclusive to a genre of music. This is going to be an interesting summer.......

LMAO.....talking about hip-hop seems to be a big NO-NO on this board, right? Pod just hooked you up with everything you need to know though!

Will PM you...... LOL!

Aaaaah, the infamous Saleen...... What's up, man? I guess I do need one of those books. But what do you mean by crackhead? Some ol' Gator from Jungle Fever type shit? LOL! Not everyone that's out there is tweakin like that, I'm sure. Some people wake up and go. I think it's way better than Sound Factory where everyone's all G'd out and puking all over the damn place. Plus it's beautiful outside and everyone's just having a blast; I like the energy. I had a great time regardless, everyone was very friendly; maybe because they were all high? Why do you speak of it with such disdain, is it the music and what you perceive to be a cracked-out crowd all the time, or are you just too tired to hang?
