Five Mic Fridayz - We Be To Rap, What Key Be To Lock…
This was the time for the Black Bohemian rappers. A time that we kicked rhymes that were just planetary. Meaning you had to be higher than a muthafugga in order to understand what the hell they were talking about.
And one of those such groups: DIgable Planets. Digable were more than just rappers, they were those cats who were purely poets on the mic. They just happened to have ridiculous beats behind them that pulled you in and would NOT let you go..
SO sit back, light a candle, smoke that shyt, and vibe back to those cats: DIgable PLanets….
This is back in the days where a Slaus loved nothing more than a grungy hippy chick. Ol girl really used to do it for me back in the day but now I look at it, and I think: she’d be hot with a fuggin bra and a cocktail dress on. Ugh Ive gotten old ….
Cuz I dont have a fuggin clue as to what these mufuggas are talking about. ” Him that’s my man with the asteroid belt?” The fugg does that meaaaaaan? lol

You need to be smoking or sipping to know what these folks are rapping about. That might not help, but you won’t really care either.

Damn, this shyt was hot back in the day!
It didnt’ matter if you didn’t know what the words meant…if you could actually rap along with them, you were that chick/dude!
