I just wanted my NT brothers to know it's confirmed, I'm Dominican.
Test results are in.
I don't know how I'm going to let the black folks in my family know I'm better than them, but I'm starting Spanish lessons tomorrow and I'll probably say it to them en Espanol so it doesn't sting as...
Long story short, I've been offered an opportunity in AZ where my state income taxes would be cut to a third of what I currently pay and my cost of living would be half of what it is in San Diego. I can put more money away, eventually buy the type of home that I want and set my daughters up to...
I worked with her for almost two years. Real down to Earth. She lived a few miles away from me too. Dude shot her in front of her 5 and 1 year old sons.
Rumor has it that she was having an affair and was even taking her side dude to company events. The whole office is in shock.
Crazy...
Looks like a winner. I love horror movies and this one... well, some of us have been in similar situations, minus the murder. My dude "Darius" is coming up in the game. 8o
Funny how this is being swept under the rug and the news came out right before Christmas. 8o >D

Just found out about this dude. Discovered online and now working with DJ Premier and others.
Hopefully he puts out a dope project. His freestyles are crazy.
Anyone got a mixtape by this dude?

Let's discuss it.
I don't know if it's social media spotlighting all of these cases of racism lately or after 36 years on this planet I somehow expected black people's lives to get better than, not the same as they have been for a long time, but I'm really starting to wonder why we, as a people, are still here...
When I first hear this mentioned over a year ago, I was like. Nah... It'll never happen.
Glad I was wrong.
FIrst track: "Let's Go"
And just to get you ready, here's a DOPE interview with Mannie Fresh done by NPR's Microphone Check. He first previews the track there btw...
What's up NT?
So we're almost done with another year and with all of the threads that pop up asking for advice throughout the year, I figured we can compile some lessons that maybe other NTers can benefit from that you learned in 2013.
In the words of Jay Z, "[NT] did that, so hopefully you...
Good interview overall, but peep around 18:58... 8o
and listen to dude drop some gems.
Glad he cleared up the Vado thing and some other issues.
But really what he says about black businesses is further proof of what people like WISEPHARAOH and some other cats have said on here before...
I'm already anticipating the obvious "you should just be happy that your father bought you new kicks" side of this argument, but let's keep it all the way real, whether your folks did you a solid or not by keeping new shoes on your feet, sometimes the ridicule that came with the shoes was hard...
San Diego Reader is a free magazine published weekly and its found all over the city. I've been picking it up for years, but have never felt moved by any of their stories as much as I was by this one. I'm not originally from San Diego but I have a lot of family here and visited enough between...
