I usually go a little bit back and have more substantive choices, but there was one line that matched the seasons changing, therefore I picked this song for the 3/30/11 Hip-Hop Quotable Post.

“…I met this girl on Valentine’s Day, {@@@@} her in MAY
She found out about APRIL so she chose to MARCH…”

[Swizz Beats]
One hand in the air if you don’t really care
Two hands in the air if you don’t really care
It’s like that sometimes, I mean ridiculous
It’s like that sometimes, this s–t ridiculous

One hand in the air if you don’t really care
Middle finger in the air if you don’t really care
It’s like that sometimes, man, ridiculous
Life can be sometimes ridiculous

[Kanye West]
I’m so appalled, Spalding ball
Balding Donald Trump taking dollars from y’all
Baby you’re fired, your girlfriend hired
But if you don’t mind I’ma keep you on call

We above the law, we don’t give a f–k ’bout y’all
I got dogs that’ll chew a f–king hole through the wall
But since they all love us, I need more rubbers
And If I don’t use rubbers, need more covers

Housekeeping, I mean g–damn
One time, let it be a bad b—h sweeping
That know we get O’s like Cheerios
That know because they seen us in the videos

From my iPhone

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
