As a little kid growing up in Los Angeles, you become accustomed to different sorts of lingo and music. Growing up, hip-hop was basically the soundtrack to my childhood. Songs about smokin weed and drinkin, that's just the way I used to imagine my adulthood being, except I was too young to realize what these songs were actually about. To me "gin and juice" was a song about Snoop Dogg throwin a party, then getting in trouble for it. So you can see my conundrum, when I first heard the song, "I Got Five On It".
I had no idea what this song was about. All I know is that it sounded cool and the slogan "I got five on it" was super catchy. Walking around my house in Silver Lake, screamin "I GOT FIIIIIIVE ON IT!" I was constantly told that I should stop listening to "that rap shit" by my dad and that I was too young to be saying things like that. Bike would just laugh and agree that he indeed also had five on it. I didn't understand what my parents were so upset about until I got older...
...when I first started getting acquainted with the lingo and the life style, I suddenly realized what the song was about as everyone seemed to be so concerned with their own money. This song, although at the time I had no idea, provided a basis for the basic manners and actions of a grown up. I realized very quickly why my parents didn't want me listening to this at age seven. But I couldn't help it. It was a fucking awesome song. And you know what, I'm glad I did. Because it helped me out in very difficult situations and tight spots, where other people otherwise might not have been so privy.
Moral of the story: this song is the shit and I defy anyone to tell me different. If I were a parent, I wouldn't care if I heard my tike listening to this. As a matter of fact I would feel better knowing that one day, if my kid was in this spot, he would be a good g and do what he is supposed to do.
I envisioned my adulthood being like this song...and guess what IT IS!!!! So grab your 40, let's get keyed.

This used to be a forum for two people. Somewhere along the way one of those persons comandeered the site and proceeded to run it into the ground.
This is his story in his own words: music, sports, politics, all of it will be molested.
