I Feel Fucking Dirty



I went to HS in Glendale, AZ. In 1995 the Dirty South was HOT. Atlanta houses BET and even if you weren't seeing anything like Goodie Mob or Outkast in any kind if rotation on MTV, you could see it on BET. MTV2 was also rocking videos pretty hard and I couldn't complain about not acctually getting BET in high school because I got MTV2 when not a lot of people did. My dad had invested in satelite technology when I think I was like Jr. High. Before that we didn't even have cable and the only MTV I knew was already like a bunch of Gameshows and the real world with the black guy and the cowboy. remember? well, since I only saw that shit at friends houses and not my own I didn't know what kinds of bullshit ass shows I was missing. I had IFC, Comedy Central, and MTV2 and some one of my best good friends at the time was from South Carolina. The Backwoods. I met this dude Josh while I had just finished school and he still had a year to finish I think. He had just moved back from living with his dad in SC. All I knew was that we skated, liked to drink 40's and smoke blunts. "let's smoke a blunt" that was like all he ever said. Oh yeah and "Am i drivin' good? I'm drivin' good, huh? Am I driving good?" Well needless to say we both liked The Whole Dungeon Family but the MOB stood out most and was bumped most to my recolection. We never called it cruising. We was lampin'. Our little crew stayed together as long as we could I guess. Good good times man. Luckily I have some of it captured on Video. We were not KIDs but we were such kid's(yo!). By the end of the 90's the Foo-Fighters was were Nirvana would have never been, Outkast was in Heavy Rotation on MTV and MTV2 was not comercial/vee-jay free no-longer. Talk about the good old days. Oh yeah M2, Comedy Central and IFC are all like on any basic cable package now. Go figure. That's why we are at a website though. Right? Peas out. Mork Style.
