You never EVER lose connection with home....i may have moved across the country and whatnot, friends relocated, but until i die i will be ann arbor and the entire metro detroit, 734-313-even-garbage 248-810 till the dirt.
Few groups or artists are a soundtrack to area more than slum village WAS. Cheddaboyz,streetlordz,rock bottom, etc were the streets when i was growin up but slum was the sound...the beat the radio played in interludes and shyt...
Rip blade, wipeout,proof....but fam, when jay dee died, shyt was someother shyt....
When i was lookin thru my hard drive, and came across fantastic vol 2, and played this:
It hit me fam. For the second time, in my entire life, i got home sick. I thought of them rides up 94 comin up out the lodge going to asian village and reoresenting my peoples. I thought of when i met e40 at river rock. I thought of elysum and looking down from the 2nd lvl balcony at young black greatness. I thought of them first times i seen amg benzes and lamborghni doors before i was told that was ignorant. I thought of when i wanted a pair of yays more than anything and couldnt afford em. I thought of how fresh i felt when i got em and i can go to puffer reds back in my hood today and get greeted by big red to this day and he asks how im doing professionally. I thought of fairlane and northland and how good it felt going to somerset for the first time when i had bread to buy shyt. I thought of how, i dont have that now.
I didnt realize how important this song was to me until today. I dont know if yall can relate but fam every now and then a song hits us and we think about something and theres nothing more hip hop than that.
