I frequented hitemup before I signed up for the message board. I think I signed up for the message board but didn't post for several months. Although it's probably my selective memory that serves me, I think one of my first posts was asking for feedback regarding a verse I wrote for an Anne Frank project for 10th grade English. I had received some good feedback, I believe. Yes, out of a million different ways of going about doing a project for the book, I wanted to do a rap song. It's my one and only rap verse and rap song I ever recorded. It was over the Thugz Mansion beat and not the acoustic because the acoustic version sucked donkey cock. It was me and two other guys. I think we got an A for the project. I don't have the song. I almost want to track down my teacher and ask her if she still has the CD. I really, really want to listen to that song. I don't remember getting much praise from the classmates. But it was two Bosnians and a Fijian guy and not one person made fun of us for that endeavor. Keep in mind, this was like 2003. Back then, if you were white and rapping, you were getting made fun of and the comparisons to Eminem were not of the good kind. If you were foreign white and rapping, take what I said and multiply it by a large number. Now it's like, not even a black person will say something about a white dude rapping. How things have changed in so little time.
One of the lines I used was "I can't talk to my mother so I talk to my diary" and the two other guys who were on the song with me thought it was awesome. While the line totally applies in terms of the book, I obviously didn't come up with that line. They didn't know that, though. But to keep it real, if it weren't for Office Space...
