I was so thrilled by this, that I had to share it.

So last night I went out to the Anodyne for pool and beer. Left a little before last call and went up to the Frontier for a burger (I’m a simple man). As I’m standing in line, one cat starts beat boxing, right, so naturally another starts dropping lines. Next thing you know, I’m eating my burger and the same cat starts beat boxing, then a couple more kids started rhyming. Well naturally I started rhyming, kind of under my breath. Next thing I know some cats sitting near me are like, “Speak up!” so I start dropping seriously without a beat anymore. So this cat who was beat boxing hears rhymes coming from behind him and turns around, starts laying a beat down. Next thing I know, we have a five-way battle going down in the middle of the Frontier at like 2:45 am! It was SO hype! So then me and like three other cats go outside and drop more lines in the parking lot for another ten minutes or so, and then split. I LOVE HIP HOP! I didn’t know a single one of these cats, and we all just kicked back and flipped rhymes in the early am, in the middle of a resturaunt. It’s so good to see, because hip hop gets a bad rep due to thugs always trying to have beef and throw down. This shit was straight peaceful.

That’s my story. I hope you enjoyed it. Hip hop, you are the love of my life!
