Nobody was there and I was hella sad yet happy cus I collected a cool little bag for the show. I got the shady text that MJ died. Yooooooo that shyt hit me crazy. My bday, overseas, empty ass show, horrible weather, no groupies waitin at the hotel, early flight in the morning. Man the variety of emotions was fukkin crazy

My drunk ass brain immediately went to, ayee lets make an anthem. shyt came out crazy. Went viral immediately until LMFAO and interscope lawyers hit a nikka with that sneaky cease n desist


Cant even upload the damn song anymore without it getting snatched off. Here's all I could find

First Iraq war. My generation had never seen war. TV was lit up with video of artillery fire looking like something from Star Wars instead of what we had seen in movies. Precision guided munions had never been seen. F-117A was still pretty much a secret(though it had been seen, most ignored its first real headline) so it blew people's minds and probably the rest of the world that the US had shyt like this. Challenger was shocking and blew up my dreams of loving space at the time, but that first Iraq invasion just blew the world's minds. Nothing compared to waking up that morning and seeing the towers fall. Would probably rank them:

1.) 9/11
2.) First Iraq invasion
3.) Challenger
4.) OJ

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

9/11, and then Obama being elected. I remember clearly where I was when those 2 events happened.
