i'm a serious junkie

[ThickBodyHottie]

i am a serious music junkie...i need music...i make about 20 cd's a week, i have an extensive collection of vinyl that continues to grow...tapes - only the rarest...i have folk sending me music from all over, i send them music as well...i get highly pissed when my man tries to interfere with my music...everytime i do a paper or project, i make it relative to music...i'm even having my daughters taught how to dj...in the meantime, i have them listen to different kinds of music and tell me what instruments they hear, what the lyrics are about, and what genre it is...the only thing i stay away from when it comes to music is the radio - mainstream black radio - i find it repulsive, disgusting and not for the tender ears of my girls...whenever there's a music fest going on, we're there...when i was living in chi, damn near all my friends were into music - either dj's, performers, dancers, musicians, poets, etc - and they would come to my crib and we'd have sessions...sometimes my girls would fall asleep in the living room listening to us in the twilight hours...

the thing is, i can't break myself from music, especially house...i mean, i love hip-hop - truly - but i was bred on house...if it's not DEEP, i can't tolerate it - i'm that type of person that hears a mix and knows damn near every song that's played...i'm always trying to stay up on the hottest shit...folk feed me music and i eat it - i eat it and i'm fat with it...house is my SHIT!

i plan on doing something relative to music, of course...my plan is to be the cognscente of underground and black music...to do this, i feel i must immerse myself in it...i've stacked most of the chips i need to make my dreams possible...all that i'm waiting for is a couple of finalizations...

am i so different than men who spend their weekends + monday watching sports? or women who shop 'til they drop? or kids with a fetish for the powder puff girls or pokemon?

TBH....I was just like you in my high school days...weekends were spent mixing , making mix tapes and DJing parties and record shopping.

<>Remember those old TDK SA-X tapes? The ones with the thick white strip for writing?

<>Stanton 500 cartriges

<>Mixing on Belt driven Turn Tables (too poor to buy a 1200)

<>Breaking the pause button on my tape decks, while doing pause button mixes.

You know, that you are the same as a sports fan or anyone that is a addicted to music...keep doing what makes you happy boo.

you know, Mr. T, that was an expensive habit...from buying cartridges (hoping you could find a two for one deal) to replacing belts to minimizing and opting for Tonemasters (red/grey or black/yellow)...gosh, we barely had money to party! that's why it was good to know the playas...carry a coupla crates and promote at your high school and you were good to go!

Your love of music is hurting no one....I say enjoy! :)

well, sha-mi...let me be honest, here...it's kinda getting in the way of the harmony at the homefront...i sometimes run late to functions that my man and i are going to because i'm trying to start the burning of a cd right before we leave...i've got enough music in his car for about 7 parties...when he plays radio music, it drives me up the WALL - i mean, i FREAK OUT on bad music, like the shit we hear on black radio today...and get THIS: he erased realjukebox of the other pc because it had too much stuff on it...he didn't erase HIS shit, but MINE...and i had rare parliament and bootsy collins shit on there, too...he tried to get it back but it's all GONE now...it took me a while to forgive him for that but, as you can see, i'm still seething over it...and now that i'm in detroit, it's extremely difficult for me to just go down a few blocks and fall into a club where i can hear to quality music in a quality atmosphere and that makes me sulk some...

i just can't figure it out, why my music thing has to be such a big deal when this nigga spends the whole weekend watching sports (i do condone it, i make him snacks and shit like that) and plays in about 50 basketball leagues (that i used to go see, but i'm on strike now) AND he coaches my daughters basketball team...i mean, i've even stopped tripping on his wanting to hear that booty-shit...why is MY music-loving so damn bad?!?

[mack_black]

its just a part of you....

maybe ya better emphasize this to your man...make him understand, just like you understand the sports thing....

I would have been hellfire if I lost some rare music....but ya know...maybe if you search hard enough...you'll find it via mp3 somewhere in the world....

BTW..can you make some fat house CDs for me? please send me a PM about this...

[ThickBodyHottie]

you just a pusher, ain't you big bro?

anyway...check your pm...i LOVE this shit!
