Big Homie Hotline
"Straight outta Sea Town, a laid back brotha named Mpact!" My old English teacher told me the first sentence of any piece of writing is the most important & that's what I came up with. Impressive, yes I know. Yet this won't be a lesson on proper literature, but a cry for help to any man who holds a positive influence in their community. I'm here to pose a question to all the readers: What the hell happened to all the big homies?
Through countless studies of Worldstar Hip Hop videos, numerous Facebook status updates & pointless Snapchat videos... It's quite obvious there isn't a ton guidance going around nowadays. A lot of youngin's learn from rappers... Shit, the honorable Andre Hicks taught me that "anything else...is not my job." Problem is, (most) rappers of today are culture vultures & complete idiots. We need to take the lil homies back! The Internet is the new neighborhood, gentrification helped in making that a sad reality. Remember when you were acting bad down the block & somebody older would punch you up to teach you what's right from wrong? Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore. I love how the world has evolved, but I'm fed up with seeing so many young dudes fall by the wayside because nobody is around to teach them. I'm thinking about making a 1-800-AdoptALilHomie hotline to make that connection a lot easier. Until that happens, let's start reaching out & make sure that the young 1's of society know how to move correctly & avoid some of the mistakes that we made. That's as #Skyblue as ever, word up.
