The Three L's: Vol I
The three Ls..
Love.
Like.
Lust.
I Love One,
I Like You,
I Lust Him.
Like:
It was a conscious decision to start with you out of the fact that I, Liked you. It was the motive behind accepting dates. It was the motive that allowed me to come home with you. The motive that has kept me returning. There is no infatuation. No pre thought out intention. I was simply going with the flow. I Liked you.
You made it easy to Like you. You were grown. A gentleman. Nice. Chill. A change of pace from what I was use to. You didn't hang out or party hard. You stayed off all the scenes. you were simple in the good sense.
My girls they say " He likes you ". They say " Be nice to him ". They tell me " What are you doing, tell him you want to be his girl. tell him how you feel "
.. I like him. I don't know if I want to like only him tho. He's good. He was on time. But I'm not really looking for forever so.. Is it wrong of me to enjoy liking him with no expectations of falling in love ? I mean isn't that what dating's all about. Why do I need to be his " Girlfriend " ? What the hells a Girlfriend ? Sometime we have an understanding and boundaries that don't fit in the definition of what a " Girlfriend " is.
I like him. But I like to flirt.
I like him. But I like freedom.
See, I like him. I act right, for the most part. I'm honest, always.
I just don't want those expectations that come with a title.
Luckily, they usually like me too. So we manage a type of understanding.

Persia got Next !
The state of females in rap has declined by far since the golden days of hip hop. Just because the femcees haven't been in the forefront doesn't mean they don't exist though. And I'm NOT talking about bubble gum rap like Nicki and Kreyshawn. That is NOT Rap. That is simple rhyming at best.
When I say the femcee is alive and kicking I'm talking about the likes of this woman.. Persia.
Fuck what you heard, this is REAL rap. Persia was kind enough to give me some of her time for an interview. So we got straight into it..
Q: Where do you think HipHop stopped being about the art and became about the $$ ?
1997 - Once Sean Combs got his hands on Hip Hop it was never the same.....
Q: What do you feel is to blame for the watering down of HipHop ?
I think there are plenty of passionate artists who embody the essence of Hip Hop, but the powers that be dont allow them to pay bills on essence alone. So in order to survive doing something you were born to do most artist must water down their message. I dont blame the artist, I blame corporate...The rapper is just trying to stay above water, literally...
Q: Do you see a revival of HipHop coming and what role are you playing ?
I've always said music is a revolving door, it will 360 back around to the raw message it once was. I think J Cole is prime example of this. He is what we have been missing in the game, and noone saw it coming - not even me. My roll........ I'm what the female rapper was intended to be, real - someone who spits with emotion....I speak from experience, I offer something alot of female listeners have been left without, a voice for them. I'm just doing what God intended me to do, my role has already been written.
Q: What do you feel has to be done to revive HipHop ?
I think the fans have to show the labels what they want instead of letting the labels give you what they THINK you want....
Q: How do you feel you differ from other females in the industry ?
I'm not afraid to be who I am, good or bad. People relate to me, both men & woman - not alot of females can say that. I represent a breed of people not a gender or race. And I murder the fuck outta any beat I touch ! *big smile*
Q: When you see people like Nicki and Kreyshawn get paid to basically make a mockery of your art what keeps you going ?
If Nicki made me realize one thing, its that there is a difference between Rap & Hip Hop. In all honestly I think Nicki is talented, she has just chosen who she wants to be in this game and I truly believe she is being herself. So my hat goes off to her to being able to be herself. I tell people all the time, it's easier to love Nicki for who she is than to hate her for who she's not. Now Kreayshawn *cough* is a totally different story. Rapping is a calling and Kreayshawn straight *82'd us. People make money doing all types of things so the money other people make isn't what bothers me, its more so the recognition. To hear Kreayshawn referred to as a white female rapper is just disturbing, and her blatant disrespect for the actual culture is what makes me want to slit her throat, on a beat that is... *wink*
Q: Being a female in a male dominated industry do you feel you have to hold yourself in a different manner to get the same respect they do ?
I'm sure I have to, but I dont.....I cant, it would alter my personality - and we cant have that now !
Q: Besides yourself who do you think has the talent to bring HipHop back to its roots ?
I've been riding with Joell Ortiz ever since he opened his mouth....Him, Emperor Chi, Fred The GodSon & J Cole just to name a few.....

Love one.. Lust Another
Fun House
In a room full of smoke and mirrors,
Such a fun house of perils
Optical illusions of what is and isn't there
The reflection you see is not me
And you are nothing like what you portray to be
But in this house its all a game
Cause alls fair in love, lust, war, and pain
So we do it over and over and over again
----------------------------
T.ea
Fond of T.ea
Yes. Yes I am.
A welcomed change from coffe.
A subsitute ?
Not hardly.
But T.ea, HE stands alone.
Full body and grown.
So I sip him slow.
Still I singe my tongue,
Till I feel its numb.
And I've over indulged.
So I've had enough.
The T.eas gone cold.

Hows your Appetite ? Pt. 1
Everyday.
Twice a day.
Two plus rounds.
About an hour.
Sounds right to me.
No ? Yes.
Im talking about sex. Im having a hard time understanding what a healthy sexual appetite is. Is it subjective to the person ? Or is there a regime fit for anyone ? Is there such thing as too much sex ? Or should we take every chance we get ?
At times Ive though maybe im a glutton in lust. More then normal. Times when I cant get it, like say my lover is out of town, I go MAD. Like a drug withdrawal I cant think, function. I constantly think about when I might be able to get it again. Plotting and planning. This conflicts with my non-whorish ways.
Ive gone through two long bouts of celibacy because I am extremely picky about who I sleep with. This time around I was celibate over two years. After moving to New York though I couldnt take it anymore. There was this boy I had been talking to for awhile. We'd gone out a few times. He was attractive. Relatively nice. So after a late night out.. I went home with him. We had sex it was good. I couldnt complain. But, in just a short amount of time i could tell. I was hooked again. Its never necessarily the man that is the drug as much as the sex itself. It took no time to fall back into old habits; wanting to go to sleep and wake up to dick. Only issue is..
This time I fear the guy is not as enthused with sex as I am. I enjoy all parts of sex. From the mental to physical stimulation. To fourplay and oral. To actual sex. Its a whole experience. An experience I cant seem to get enough of. I think Im waiting for that full fulfillment with him. To wake up sore and tender. That pleasure is pain. The what Ive had before. The what I am use to. And in the search Ive put up with someone who had I met out on the street I may of never gotten past two dates. But having communicated for so long there was a sense of comfort I fell into. As I must always find a sense of comfort to even open my body to someone. But this has landed me in a sticky situation. I dont want a relationship but I want the sexual perks that come with one.
I think I can officially say I may not know what a Healthy Sexual Appetite is, but I can be sure my appetite is type Gluttonous.

Let me break it down..
With that being, the state our society is in it becomes real easy for one to slip through the cracks these days. Ever since I can remember media has sexualized women from their portrayal in videos and movies, to the mold female entertainers are pushed into to be " sexy. " So although I don't agree with the way females act I know many never had a chance at developing any other kind of mentality.
Most families these days are ran by single mothers to multiple children, often working more then one job. Other times the mother is a broken woman herself looking for love in all the wrong places and exposing her children to a life on inconsistency. Either way, a larger majority of kids will be brought up in a type dysfunctional home. Be it the mother who had to work so much that the TV and streets raised her children. Or the mother who was more worried about her own happiness.
Say even a two parent home. Still often more then not there will be problems of some type. The father that comes and goes. The parent thats hooked on drugs. Two parents with no time. No matter the situation most kids these days are being raised by what they see on tv, learn in school ( educational and socially )), and from their surrounding community. With a touch of their parents influence.
To top this off the TV and community raising them is not exactly the best substitute. These kids often live in lower class neighborhoods attending schools with little to no funding, thus halting their chance at a decent education. Then with teachers that care more about your attendance then what you are actually taking from your time spent in class, even less chance at a secondary education. They then go out and roam the streets, malls, friends houses, etc. caring less about their studies and often more about boys. (( getting back to my issue about the girls ))
I know first hand this can all be overcame but its not something easy for one to do without some type of positive reinforcement in their lives. So when i see these chicks that give the female sex a bad name i get mad, but i also feel sad for most because they never had a chance statistically. They are just products of their environment, the environment that men created and shaped. Where they believe they should have the nice things provided by a rich man like the girls they see on tv. Im not saying its an excuse for their behavior, but it should give you a glimpse in between the lines so maybe you can understand their cries more.
Party with the BrooklynKings !!
