This Happened And We Let It Happen


Sorry I have been gone for so long. My new job requires me to pay a lot more attention to what is going on now than my old one, so that leaves less time for blogging and watching funny pet videos on youtube.

Anyway, I was somewhere discussing the pockets of shittiness that have popped up during different eras of Hip-Hop and you can't have a discussion like this without the group Harlem World coming up. If you don't remember them, they are a group that Mase put together at the height of his popularity that was so bad that Puff Daddy wanted nothing to do with them, so Mase struck a deal with So So Def and put this album out. Shortly after, Mase gave up the rap game to be a minister until he realized that that he really was not good at that either.

I actually listened to that album when it came out and this is easily the best song on the entire record. As much as I don't like this song I loved the video. I think that was due in large part to the fact that there are more black cheerleaders in this video than I saw during my 4 years in high school and with all colorful circus shit going on, there are still mentions of shootings, drug dealing, and lesbian sex acts. Ahhh, it's good to be back.
