Fly High

So while in my Pan African Studies class today, my Professor brought up the current event/situation that was occurring at UC San Diego. Upon reading the article and the actual event invitation i was outRAGED! Most importantly the fact that this was an event organized by a school fraternity. Someone has to speak out on these types of things….Schools and organizations have escalated from completely ignoring black history month to making fun and mocking the entire idea of a black history month. In my opinion not only should the frat be exalted but the author of said invitation and his accomplices should either be suspended and if not expelled for the slandering and disrespect of an entire culture. The university should be taking waaay more action then they are. Not only has this fraternity put a face of racism and discrimination on themselves but the university as well on a NATIONAL level.


btw, my friend from High school received an 100% paid scholarship to play football there, i wonder how he and people like him feel now? Infuriateds? Yes. Of course but now that tuition is raising and admission and transferring is becoming more of a challenge, blacks and minorities on the UCSD campus must feel in some way diasporic. CSUN is holding a live “walk-out” on March 4th to protest, increased tuition, budget cuts and furlough days. Wheew looks like I’m in the right place. All this makes me see is that CSUN and all other Campuses and Universities still have subjects to protest and ways of thinking to demolish and the only way we as students, parents as financial support, and people as people to do to so is to SPEAK UP!!!!!!

Heres a link to the report and the actual facebook invitation sent out to all UCSD students.

Aggggh! NIGGA! I’ve been waiting to write this review for a minute. This is theee stoner mixtape of the year. Yae opens with bars for daaays. He never fails to give us a dope ass story. If you didnt know da boy freestyles like no other, and his written is even better. Personally, my favorite track is “Late As Usual.” Anybody whos made smoking a chore can tell you that this same story is a popular one in their life. My Most played song is hands down “Hellla High”, Its the perfect song to smoke and ride to….(yummy!) It lightweight is an anthem for the North as well. I mean come on he’s talking about what we do, am I right? G-Thang says it all and lets you know whats good. If you like listening to music there’s no way you can’t listen to this mixtape. I think the rest of California has got to be intimidated. Everything hot is coming out of the capital. Im lightweight getting tired of saying “Its amazing how much talent sacramento has…” It’s pretty much expected by now. All the releases creates competition in one area making the better, better than ever. Fly High aint making shit easy, and Im not just saying that because they’re my niggas. In a nutshell, Yae is beasting on niggas, bar for bar, concept for concept, rhyme for rhyme and lyric for lyric. Like he said “The fitted aint fitting him, so he’s getting fitted for a crown.” This sets the bar high as hell for mixtapes dropping in 2010. Niggas better come with it. No numbers, but if i had some mics I’d give em all to him. I definetly wouldn’t waste your time. Its a great listen.
