“For the ladies who know me tell ‘em who the fuck I be.”

ODB did it like no one else before or since…only he would have the audacity to release a video of him incoherently swinging his head around when he’s supposed to be rapping.

This guy made it possible for anyone to do anything at anytime.

“7/4 Shoreline”

BSS have a new album coming out and will be in Los Angeles at the Music Box, May 3. I don’t know what the level of interest is here…thought you ought to know…and, you know, so let’s go!

For me, this CD was it.

I rememeber being in 6th grade, maybe 5th grade, but it was year 2000 a.d. and Eminem’s “Marshall Mathers” EP had just come out. This precise time period was also “fracking” crazy. Carson Daly was hosting TRL (OMG!), Explicit Lyrics were being stamped on CD’s, Eminem’s new album was discussed on every news station, CanCUN was all the rave!, AOL/dail-up, and penis enlargement infomercials were airing at night, and a little, proud white boy, named Billy Kittleman (i.e. ME) from McAllen TX, was sagging pants and grabbing his/my small tiny dick 20+ times an hour. (sorry for the profanity and inappropriate-ness….I used to listen to Eminem)

I am now setting up how Eminem changed the United States of America, or maybe just a whiteboy for McAllen, TX. My Mom bought me this album when I was in “whatever grade”, but got me the edited (ie. beeped out) version, HA! To think that cutting out the cuss words really did anything at all. I still have that exact CD, and it is AWESOME with the words “beeped out”. This album had great beats, produced by Dr. DRE, and also had 5+ songs appear on TRL!!!! (for consecutive days in a row…EXTREMELY hard to achieve).

I am now going to stop making want to ever buy, or listen, to this ablum, and will tell you from the bottom of my heart, maybe even soul, that this is one of the “awesomest” albums ever made. No Joke. This album signle handedly CHANGED SOCIETY. I FUCKING MEAN THAT. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME YOU ARE A HOMO! (sorry this album did things to me…) Name something, anything, from today and I can relate it directly to Eminem’s “Marshall Marthers” album. Examples include prescription meds/health care, christina agulera, the list goes on, and on. This album had significant impacts on society, and the culture of today, no matter how direct, or indirect they have been. Mainly, I wanted to say this album was MY generation, and I wanted to share that with everyone. My psyche will never be the same

….If you would like to share albums from your past childhood, or wish to contact FerrisSC, please comment below.

Thank you.

I was having withdrawals from Mos Def so I downloaded his entire discography.

Please turn up the volume as loud as it will go.
