School Story:
Sat many days right next to Derrick Franklin in Ms. Leonard's English Class writting Rhymes....
I was in R.O.T.C. with Chris Barrier we were bold enough to be class clowns in that strict enviroment with Sgt. Major Gray, Lt.Connell Connelly with Cherree Hampton, Pauline Clemmons and Kimberly Creer as Drill Sgt.s who didnt miss anything.
Chorale Ms. Longoria
Ray Belton, Felicia King, Stephon Harris, Allen Anderson, Robert Drake, Milton Finley, Lori Key, Michelle Evans, Tasha Priestly Grant, Torsha Morgan, Dominica Soliz, Alma Alva, Tanya Williams, Lasandra Watts, Michael Lemons
REMEBER: Ray Belton and I dressed up in those black and white checkerboard suits and performed "New Edition's- Jealous Girl" for the fund raiser variety show.... We sung that song for real!!! "Cold Blooded" LOL! I left out a few people that were in that class with us but I definately didnt forget you. I just didnt remember the names but I remember. I actually had a girlfriend in that class too if you see this and remember me please forgive me...
Andre (Fuji) Williams, Sohn Reed, Heleva and Jamal Rylander, Max, Dee, Roderick and Broderick we Yolonda and Tonya Thompson, Roderick and Omisha Lightfoot, Maurian Sanders, all from Quail Green.... We used to ride the bus together.... That was fun.... Oh yeah I cant forget the homie DeAdrian who always would wanna rank and play the dozens with me... Man!!! I had to be on point with him Sohn, Max and Fuji!!!! Those were the good ole days...
Now when I got my first whip!!!! Brad Jordan and I used to ride to school together and we even went out to the clubs and with Scarface I was VIP at the Benz, The Main Event!, Even Gucci's on the Northside and drinks were always free. And I was even old enough to be in the club or to drink... We used to crank up freestyle sessions in the nightclub mens restrooms we once had females in there observing. Brad and I freestyled 16s back and forth taking turns doing the drumbeats on the bathroom stalls just like we did in the cafeteria and the courtyard at the Ridge... We used to go to all three lunches everyday for the sake of the cyphers and hip hop... I remember I was always the target for Reddy Rell and his Brother Ponyboy's lyrical attacks. And that's how I got cool with Brad. Either him Chris Berrier would step in the cypher to help a brother out and I can even recall David Alexander stepping in to help a brother out a few times.... That was hip hop and that was a whole lotta fun.... Now Scarface is one of the most respected Recording Artist by other respected recording artist. And Chris Barrier aka Mr.32 who in my opinion made Helped make UGK to be who they are with one 16 bar verse on their first major mainstream hit "One day you here" and Street Military are two of the most slept on acts in hip hop...... I ended up being a writter and reporter for a few hip hop magazines as you may know now as Im coming off with this novel of a school story. I was known as 4q the Felon... I still write and compose songs, produce music, and record and engineer as a hobby... Still I believe there are hit songs available from my end as well as a successful full blown music industry circuit of lables and venues that I plan on activating soon...
My homies were The Esquires, The Lil Fellas, The Lil lil Fellas, The Lil LiL Lil Fellas, LMAO!!!! The Lil Dogs, The Bad Boys and The Jr. Bad Boys!!!
My Crushes well yall know who yall were....
Im still cool with Antoinette Jill Captain, And Lasandra Watts and Heleva Rylander those are three friends that I have managed to stay in touch with who knows me well....
I only went to Willowridge for the eleventh and twelved grade years so that may be why some of you may have to think a lil harder than others to remember me because I did not go the full journey with yall throughout elementary and middle school but I know that a lot of you will remember me from skip days and summer school and the courtyard ciphers and classes. Best believe I remember yall and theres no one that I dont still have love for who I crossed paths with wrote love letters too or had the chance to hang out with or studied with or helped cheat on tests or hung out with from our school of class and Character!!!
