Hardcore Rap At ASU



So back when I was at Arizona State University I was taking this physics class and we had these study sessions where we would review our homework and all that shit with the TA.

Actually before I get in to this little story about that one day in physics I guess I should state that I fucking hate the people who attend ASU. It is very whitebread with dudes that are rocking flip flops and highlights which happen to be two things that I am not down with at all. Oh and then ASU is usually thought of as a place with really hot girls. That is a motherfucking lie. The ratio of shitgrills to hot bitches is pretty fucking average. What makes people think it's not is all due to higher number of girls with tans. It's the goddamn desert of course the girls will be in the sun more but having a tan does not make your ugliness disappear. Also since Arizona is so much warmer the girls will wear less clothes so you don't see girls all bundled up looking like a fucking bear and shit. Guys are fucking dumb, dudes will see just a little bit of skin and think about tapping that shit. That shit is fucking wrong, there are some ladies out there who should not be showing certain parts of their skin. Another thing is that I don't know how the fuck ASU gets listed as a party school so much when the parties fucking suck. When I was at the University of Texas the parties were way more fucking fun and folks were real friendly with the alcohol. None of that 4 bucks to drink my shitty keg beer kind of parties.

Ok whatever, I don't like ASU and that's why I left that shithole for San Francisco. But when I was there I would sport my headphones at all times to avoid having to interact with most of the retards on campus. This way I wouldn't have to hear the dumb ass conversations going on around me. Some days I'd have my cd player other days the walkman just depended on what I felt like rocking. This one day I roll up a little early to my physics study session and some girl who I have worked with in labs happens to be there. She's kind of your average ASU white girl, she's nice but not to swift. I sit down and start going over my shit when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I drop the headphones and hear that usual question that people ask when you have headphones on, "what are you listening too?" To avoid having to explain who the artist is and why she's never heard of them I just say "its just some hiphop shit." It's my standard response and I just hope that people accept that shit and shut up but unfortunately she isn't satisfied and asks me who it is. So I tell her, "Um...It's this Mystik Journeymen album, 4001: The Stolen Legacy." She then looks at me trying to understand what the hell I just told her as if she's searching her brain for the group to register somewhere in her mind but she comes up with nothing so she then in her most preppie whitegirl voice she says, "Oh? Is that like hardcore rap?" I wanted to fucking laugh but all I could say was "Yes, I am listening to hardcore rap."

Maybe its only funny to me but I thought that was a great moment and ever since that day anytime someone asks me what I'm listening to I just respond with "Hardcore Rap." and nothing else.
