Where Brooklyn @

Yesterday, David, Just and I headed to New York. In New York our objectives were to A) Fix David's MPC and B) Attend the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. We completed both task, but with the help of Dav and some of his friends, I am happy to say we got side tracked.

[Big Sean kept me company for most of the ride. Supa Dupa.]

[First stop of our trip was Fat Beats, however we noticed that sign on the door.]

[Some store I forgot the name of... It had some nice Mishka stuff on sale.]


[A DJ's Heaven.]

[That's Black Thought (You can tell by the shadow), no Nikon.]

[I bet that Sprite would be good if they threw an "E" on there...]


[David and and the infamous Torrae. (Try out his new album with Marco Polo)]

[Tell Dav to take a break from talking, or a breathe at least. Boul goes hard... Haha]

[Yup. We made a trip to White Castle.]

GREENE.

What she tell you? I'M GOOD.

I really can't get enough of this song....

CAN WE GET AN ENCORE,

Damn. This is going to be another nostalgic post from me. This post is for my friends at Masterman. I'm eighteen years old, and at this age eight years is a large portion of my life. Eight years is the amount of time that I have spent in the marble halls of the Philly-known Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School. These eight years have been crazy. When asked about Masterman over time you may have heard me say, "I hate that place," "Masterman is corny," "Our school is ass," [that was the most popular response] when in all truthfullness, I owe a lot to this place. This weird ass school on 17th and Spring Garden Streets, has shaped who I am, who I know, and who I associate myself with. I have had the same classmates since 6th grade [back when I thought I was a mix of Ludacris and Lloyd Banks and Kelis was my wife]. When I mention that to people, they're usually like, "Damn, I couldn't be around the same people for that long." I use to say the same thing and add how I should have gone to one of my other choices of schools like Central or Penn Charter. However, I then realized how lucky I am to have certain people around me. My friends come from all walks of life, all around Philadelphia. From Sito's southwest territory to the co-ops of Mt. Airy, I have a diverse set of homies who would take a bullet for me.

Me and my friendshave been through a lot over these years. We have been through drama, detentions, suspensions, fights, phone calls home, self inflicted injuries (haha) talent shows, birthday dinners, New York, Baltimore, two week relationships (or two day ones), and of course TRENDS&PHASES...

[Girbaud's, Air Force 1's, Xanga, late stages of pokémon cards (even though we still be catchin' 'em, haha) tall white and/or color T-shirts (5 fo' 20 at footlocker), the T-Mac sneaker series, the Harlem shake, Large pointless chat rooms, Jay-Z's button up phase (with the $2 brim skullies to match), braids and afros, head bands, Nike wrist bands, Jordan ball shorts, Wool Rich coats, Tan Butt-uhs (Timberlands), THE DU-RAG, waves, transition from "young t-shirts" being wack, to "young t-shirts" being accepted, DICKIE SUITS, Chuck taylor's, "The Nike 20 Series," staying in Chopsticks or City View until dark, T-mobile SIDEKICKS, lanyards, transition from Finish Line to Ubiq, basketball during lunch (no matter HOW COLD IT WAS), Haircuts with designs (Melo went crazy), Nike Dunk phase, Nike Air Raid phase, body art, Spoiled Rotten Saturdays at Shampoo (haha), Strkes Bowling or The Bridge EVERY FRIDAY, "The future '09", Myspace (Bry_Space) Facebook, iPhones and SO MUCH more...]

Through it all we have remained tight with out letting any whores get between us [that's love]. We changed the FACE of Masterman sports, giving Masterman a name outside of academics. [We could probably build a house with all of our First Team All Public plaques and Varsity letters] All in all, we left a major mark on the school and what it stands for. We came into the school knowing we would impact it, and with graduation tomorrow we can say that we defintiely did.

I am going to miss the hell out of y'all next year. I never thought I'd be the only one leaving the state, but 'ey... IT IS WHAT IT IS.


We out my niggs...

Oyeah, do know that the event Mr. Gannon mentioned was def not canceled.

GREENE

Last Monday.

Today was my last Monday of high school. With that being said, I just remembered I forgot to take out the trash this morning. Shit.

[Crazy dangerous. That job is ridiculous.]

[Ash: You should take a picture of the sky!
Greene: ...]



[East Oaklane is so calm and peaceful at night. I def saw a fox on my way home.]


[Taking of Pelham 123 was major in my opinion...]

Also, yesterday was my buddy Brooke's graduation party. It was major, Brooke does it big [remember her Sweet 16?].


[Skyline obsession continued.]

[Brooke bffs that I didn't think remembered me]

[Tats. coughHENNAcough]

[Melo: Even on the bike, it's still all 'LO (haha)]


GREENE.

LL BEAN X AAYTE

As a part of their farewell gift to some graduating seniors, AAYTE staff hooked us up with these smooth, spacious, personalized LL Bean duffel bags. Inside we found a long, fluffy pillow, to keep us comfortable in our dorms next year. That's love.
