Y’all remember back in the days when Hip Hop made you feel good and made you have hope for the future? Thank God for YouTube, Dimwars.com, WorldStarHipHop and all the other video sites that preserve the Hip Hop culture and help keep our music alive!

Remember when we were in high school and all the girls wore Turkish link (gold chains) and if it broke then they made earrings to it — like they meant to do it.

Remember wearing basket weaves, Nike Cortez and footsie socks? And eating pickles with Tootsie Pops?

Remember the Pumas with the fat laces (cuz it was either that or K-Swiss)?

But let me finish this reminiscing and tellin’ ’bout when girls was bellin’ tight corduroys, like for the boys.

I miss those days, and so I pout like a grown jerk. Wishin’ all I had to do now, was finish homework.

It’s true, you don’t realize really what you got ’til it’s gone… and I’m not gonna sing another sad song. :(

But Sometimes I do sit and reminisce, then think about the years I was raised, back in the days…
