Your #1 GOAT TOY as a kid

[Art Barr]

there were 2 brothers that lived across the street from me and their parents got them EVERYTHING. One would get the good guys and the other one the bad guys. I mean Castle Greyskull & Snake Mountain, Cobra Terrordome & the aircraft carrier. That’s the only time I seen one in real life. That bytch was humongous. They got all the transformers too except for Megatron. I didn’t know anyone that had that.

the worst nikka in our hood had all the toys.
he was such an ass hole..nobody played with him and ain't give one fukk about his air craft carrier.
that kid with all the toys was always a next level d bag ass hole.

I loved my pink and white skates too. Used to be everywhere on them skates

real talk..
my little brother rebeled early on.
with that i hate skating shyt to moms.
so he was done done early.

so he never used these.
so one day...on a whim...
after they redid the floor in the basement.
i decided to try these on.

man...when i tell you.
this shyt was the goat....
i can't even explain on any surface how dope these cotdamn fisher price shyt's was.

they made any skate into some bullshyt to me.
i may have to tell my momma about these damn skates and how i secretly just took them back from my lil bro.

sckraight was in these joints in the basement at the age way after these were appropriate on the box.

they put these types of antiques to shame....

plus the little wheels were indestructible.
they could roll on anything and they had this switch.

where you could slide out and do all sorts of shyt in them....


if you had these fisher price skates and gave them a chance...
they were...next level crazy fun.
another one of those fisher price products that were worth their complete weight in child hood golden era fun...

the kiddie goat.

even if you was old...this shyt was next level good.
this was another item.
where my brother fukked it up with my pops on music.
just totally rebelled against music and pops.

my lil bro never fukked with this joint.
so since it was collecting dust.
after our house got robbed.
they stole my slow motion tape deck panasonic with the graphic equalizer.
digital audio frequency display and a tone dial with separate bass and treble.

it just broke me i never got another boom box to fukk with the next level of that.
it was the tape deck i made money on break'n with lino and all that.

so one day after that....my lil bro ain't using.
so fukk that...might as well throw...essays on bdp-ism in this motherfukker..

so i did....
man, when i tell you.
the sheer joy this llittle tape deck was.

if you had this....your parents did their job..

just a grail toy and sturdy like a real electronic should.
i wish they made real electronics as good as this thing.

Yeah I only seen that one time myself...my best friend (a brotha) that I grew up with parents got him all this stuff. He was the only boy out of 3 girls and he was the youngest. His parents got him everything as well. He was the only kid I knew that got all that stuff. He had the GI Joe Aircraft Carrier and the GI Joe Space Shuttle.

One year his parents got him every last He-Man Figure and Castle Grey Skull and Snake Mountain...

 

[Art Barr]

now if you got this.
this was how you could fit in with the older bigger kids as a real little shawty.
so when they stole my boom box and both my fisher price record players.

i got the same record player as mellissa and barbie had to feel a bit older at five.
where this pushed the envelope for me as a music listener.
as i had the big kid now record player.
like an eighth grader had in the first grade after they stole the whole crib from us on euclid.

god has his silver lining and to get this as a replacement for my other fisher price's being stolen.
even my baby fisher price record player.
this made going with pops to peach's into a whole nother thing.

so i guess them robbing our house was a blessing in disguise.
as if not for that theft.
i may not have fallen in love with hiphop in the manner i did at that particular time.
plus i was gon spin the unholy hell outta these records tho.

like all the older kids did too tho...

Right that’s how these kids were with everything. nikkas had the hooded cobra commander that you had to send off for in the mail. They had a turbografx-16. shyt I’m glad I was high school and we was done with toys when they moved away otherwise it would’ve felt like I was losing my toys.

the thunder road

not getting this bike.
hurt my soul as a shawty...

[Art Barr]

then i finally got this as an upgrade to my pops botching getting me that tyler.

imagine...yo pops being on so much unfocused bullshyt.
he botched getting you a bike.
[i mean he did work on a fukk'n stealth bomber on some top secret shyt..but nah fukk that...]
that he fukks up the air maxx,...plus everyone is riding the huffy grail expert.

my pops was the absolute king of ruining yo bday and xmas.
the shyt was trivial like brandon lee says on tha crow....
nikka botched everything from nes to bikes,..you name it.
a nikka had to hustle to make up for it all the time...
plus it ain't like you even get a chance to heal cause bday and xmas is a month apart.
i don't even ask for much...either.
as i will get it myself someway tho...
yet you want to know your parents pay attention....so it is not a great feeling to wake up on xmas and see somebody else's parents or relatives when you got none to get your shyt right and you pops botch'n everything.

my pops botched everything on some overthinking shyt.
atari...nikka buys a galaxy.
coleco vision..nikka buys intellivision.
nintendo...nikka buys sega.
huffy bmx...tyler wack beach cruiser bicylce from the seventies...
you name it...my pops fukked it up with out fail.

 

[Art Barr]

that one time tho....
my pops got put on some trip.
i dunno where they sent him.
he just was gone.
so he shows up mysteriously from this work trip to pittsburgh, i think.

then at the door he has the grail..

i still remember that as vivid as the porch light shine'n on his dark skinned full bearded face.

my pops was this enigma of a guy..

i miss my pops.
