Since this is the thread for this, I’ll go ahead and admit that I’ve never heard of “Sway and Tech”

you never heard this song or saw the video? They were around before this but this is when I first heard of them outside of a magazine

I thought the V in DMV meant the whole state of Virginia. I was utterly mistaken. Thanks @HellCzar

What the V stand for then.

Because I see on the net it stands for Virginia

lol

well, they had a toll bridge in NOLA a few years ago prior to katrina, and yea, they had people that would man them

they closed them post katrina, im not sure why

but other than that, the only other time i experience a toll bridge is when in Texas and i just go alternate routes to keep from having to take the tolls

I think it was closed becasue the toll bridge was paid for.

I heard when a new highway is opened up the city/state has to pay for it because they technically dont own it. Its a lot about them damn toll roads with all type of shit even towing a car off the toll road.

either "Original Poster" or "Original Post". Depends on the context it's used in.

For some reason I always thought of it as "opening post"

 

[konceptjones]

it only hit me when he said "me and tech" and I just remember seeing their names in the hip hop magazines and shit

couldnt tell you about any music they were involved in....but i been youtubing and most of the shit that comes up, i know it but there's nothing that references them but the title....lot of big names tho

im guessing they paved the way for the Dramas and Greg Streets and Khalids?

It was before your time:




"Concrete Jungle" wasn't necessarily a bad album, but it wasn't that great either. I picked it up back in summer of '91 and was sorely underwhelmed after that first listen. I can't knock anyone that never heard their shit from back then 'cause it got no spins.

What the V stand for then.

Because I see on the net it stands for Virginia

I didn’t know MLB stood for Major League Baseball

Was a Pac fan most of my teens and didn’t know 2pac was his real name

Didn’t know women get just as horny as men

Thought it was pronounced Wu Tang Klang

I got three funny stories too

When I was in school. One day during recess my friends were on merry go round singing a song. I go over to the merry go round and start singing the song too. They stopped I looked up still singing the song wit the teacher standing right there. I ended up having to go to the principles office and got written up.

Seems the learning disabled kids were at recess with us And the song they were singing was “LD FOLLOW ME, LEARNING DIS..ABLITY”. My dumbass thought they were singing learning this ability. Like the ability to go fast on the merry go round. I didn’t know kids were learning disabled. Principle didn’t believe me tho, she said that was stupid.


The second is after learning about that, I thought special teams in football meant that the guys on that squad had disabilities. Like when the crowd would go Moooooooooose after moose Johnson did something good. I thought they were saying that cause he was deaf and they were saying it loud so he could hear.

The third, ima a dumbass kid story. Round the time when Whoop there it is was out, my part of the city would play other parts of the city in ball at the boys and girls club. So on day we whuppin on a team from Monks Corner and the crowd is going “whoop there it is”. I thought cause we were at a b-ball game they were saying “Hoop Menace”.

So I’m hopping around the gym wit my friends yelling HOOP MENNNNACE” lol..this 13 year old kid. 6 years older than me at the time punches me in the stomach hard and fuck..and yells..THAT AINT THE WORDS FAGGOT

:cry:I learned that day

Tupac wasn't Pac's real name

The tiny pockets in jeans were originally for pocket watches in the 1800s. They just kept the tiny pockets for style.
