Oh the ANGST!!!!! I'm now in my mid 20's & I wanna be where I was but the STREETS keep calling me. It's now the late 90's & I wanna be GOOD but..........which way do I go? My original area code doesn't even REPRESENT the CULTURE anymore as I got more GANGSTA! I was now a 11207 person speaking on ROBBERY, MURDER, MAYHEM, DISEASE & MADNESS! It is now about SURVIVAL of the FITTEST! Most are READY to DIE! Some dude who wasn't GUILTY said that ya couldn't prove anything beyond a REASONABLE DOUBT! The 2 dudes who rode with OPPOSITE COASTS were now gone & WE were in a TAILSPIN!!!! Who would LEAD me into the FUTURE? Dillemma dillemma!

This was about the time that WE saw changes coming along. The new & appointed K.O.N.Y NOT NAMED Kendrick Lamar would emerge in the wake of those 2 deaths sharing that TOP SPOT that was held by those with more talent. That dude with NO WAY OUT became the biggest star on his LABEL & made more money then ever as the saying "ya worth more DEAD than ALIVE" rang TRUE! The mid 90's was like WOW!!!! This time frame fostered the 1 hit wonder & now that I'm looking back, some of 'em became that bcuz they wasn't going for the RITUALS which were NEW at that time. Who remembers this dude?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8doWSyi2IQ. Or how about this joint?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9KvyKcChKY. WE were spinning OUR WHEELS at that time without DIRECTION like a ship without oars. I am so confused. Will you help Me?

As the saying goes, I GOTTA MAKE a NAME for MYSELF! A new breed started emerging with some upstarts outta UP TOP! 1 of 'em was a HOT BOY not from new orleans & he wanted YOU to get AT HIM & his DOGS! He was in the FIELD hanging out with that lil dude pictured below. Now, he can't seem to dodge CONTROVERSY as they look to SET HIM UP ODB STYLE as in: http://perezhilton.com/2013-08-21-dmx-arrested-in-south-carolina-video-captures-him-yelling. WE think Katt got the message but, "HEY, he's in the FUTURE!" Like snoop lion before him, he got his FRIENDS from the DOG POUND! And then that dude named after MARIJUANA came out & WOW.................he was PHENOMENAL but it wasn't to last as the HANDLER of the fugees had a hold on his career & TANKED IT bcuz of the INFO something like: http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2011/04/canibus-channel-zero.html. Man, WE NEVA had it quite like this but even when the subject matter was TERRIBLE, they LYRICISM was STILL THERE! These dudes MAY have saved Me from MYSELF but it wasn't to be. WE needed SAVING!

Get with US at bennyblacko@yahoo.com & on fb, I'm Blak Smith (Blak Smiff). 



He was named the king of Hip Hop! He came straight outta after 7 mile & started a WHOLE NEW ERA of RAIN MAN! In my opinion, his ALTER EGO was his RENEGADE to MASK that the GAME had once & for all been TAKEN OVER! He signed with the church of satan's LEADER under his HENCHMAN & made OURSTORY as the ELVIS/JESUS & whoever else it is Y'ALL LUV! NiKKKa's CO-SIGNED him validating him as his lofty titles & DAMMMMNNNNNN!!! He distraKKKted US away from the deaths of those 2 iconic figures mentioned earlier. Chances were SLIM in the SHADE that anyone could surpass this new savior & over on the East Side, the K.O.N.Y was DISPUTED like a heavyweight bout featuring Tyson & WHOEVER! Supremacy would soon be WON by 1 of them dudes who married a MILKSHAKE! But WE had a STAR that was BLAK come out which was MOS DEF with KWALITY & WOW! Many were called but few could qualify at this: http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2012/08/mos-def-ms-fat-booty-explicit.html. Our BEAUTIFUL SISTA pictured in my last article actually won out by DEFAULT but bcuz the album wasn't fully RAPPED, she had an asterisk. Those who could BUST a RHYME were too! What do you THINK? The scene would play out in the next CENTURY/MILLENNIA. Things were just about to heat up.
