Slap-Boxing With Jesus

Sucker MCs

A little bit of information about myself: despite all the shit talking, the somewhat condescending demeanor and overall narcissistic (cynical?) attitude, I’m a nerd (N.E.R.D.?) at heart. Always have been, and quite possibly I always will be. I’ve always enjoyed the moronic simplicities of WWE Smackdown!, rocked a backpack way before Silk Shirts West softened them up and – like my latest blogging sister from another mister Ms. Bassa (moms keeps churning them out!) – was singing along with The Roots before Black Thought was banging that Jewish chick in that one movie.

Even throughout my years of robbing people and ducking mall cops for 40 minutes and such, the one thing that never changed was my inherent nerdiness that stemmed from a family loaded with nerds themselves. The (not-so) interesting thing was that I’d spend a good part of my life reading, studying and learning while my counterparts were out doing “normal” things, like trying not to catch The Germ from One-Track Mind Sally, becoming future WIC receipients and whatnot.

The reason I bring up this scenario is that I’ve never tried to come across as anything different (aside from that one time I thought I was 2Pac, but after he got his chest cavity exposed, not so much), particularly on the this section of the Internets. But it never ceases to amaze me whenever I see some random-ass rabble-rouser bark about their willingness to catch a red-eye to some other part of the city and smack the ever-loving shit out of another random-ass goon, Deebo-style, because their “alias” was called out of pocket.

I’ve even had a couple instances where someone tried to step out on me. A few months ago, one of the readers here took offense to the fact that a “square Charlie” such as myself was representing Inglewood because – to paraphrase something my M.I.A. blogging brother from another mother S.Y. Young would say [1] – having a decent grasp of the English dictionary’s not what’s popping in the hood. A couple of witty quips later, and duke is threatening to search the entire city of Los Angeles to plant a hot one in my face (pause!). Fortunately (I think) our issues have since been quelled, but it was pretty hard for me to take an Internets “menace” entirely too seriously, although I do recall that one situation a earlier this year where some cracka-ass YT traveled over 1,000 miles to find an online heckler and tried to burn his place down while he was still in it.

In a sense, nobody should ever try to come across as some pistol-packing über-thug on the Internets because, quite frankly, it’s pretty geeky to type out how you’re going to style on someone you’ve never seen, not to mention it comes off sounding pretty fucking Twinkie soft in the first place. But maybe that’s the evolution (I call deterioration, but whatever) of the thug: without the likes of Lesane running around thinking shit is sweet (with some bean pie pusher creeping up on his ass eventually), they’ve now become inspired by the V-neck muscle shirt tactics of the Dip Set’s MySpace hackers, and barking on a message board or a comments section is the end to all means. Personally, I’m more scared of my family’s hypertension history than those acts of Fagitry, but whatever.
 
[1] Yeah, I go “back there” sometimes too.
