Buff is the 5th Element of Hip Hop! I think so!!!

Give Buff his got'damn props! I rarely hear folks mention Buff today when it comes to beatboxin' which is to me the 5th Element of Hip Hop (some would say Knowledge buts this is my blog hehe). There has been a great deal of discussion about who was the first, however one thing is for sure, and that is that in 1983, a trio from Brooklyn won a talent contest at Radio City Music Hall. The trio, formerly known as The Disco Three, Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales, Damon "Kool Rock-Ski" Wimbley, and Darren "Buff the Human Beat Box" Robinson. These were The Fat Boys. Buffy helped the group win the talent contest through his ability to use his mouth to recreate hip-hop rhythms and a variety of sound effects. The prize? A record contract. Mhm!!!

Human beatbox legends such as Buffy, Doug E Fresh, and Biz Markie helped propel beatboxin' into the limelight throughout the 80's, and the scene has been growing ever since. Shall i even mention jazz great Bobby McFerrin!?! Michael Winslow the Vocal Effects Master (Police Academy)....

Props to you Buff!!! Props to you!

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh! (1979)

Ok my peoples...so only 2 folks outside of my family know what the fuck im talking about when i mention this movie right'chirr. I know i ain't crazy...ok lemme rephrase that...i know what i'm talking about yo! This movie is such a classic man, the soundtrack was a classic in its own right as well. SIDE NOTE:

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh tells the story of a struggling professional basketball team, The Pittsburgh Pythons, whose continuous losing streak and lack of talent has made them the laughing stock of Pittsburgh. This results in several players asking to go elsewhere in the league, except for the star player Moses Guthrie (Julius Erving), mostly because he is the highest paid player on the team and is not liked by the teammates.

Sensing that the team really needs a miracle, the team's ball and waterboy Tyrone Millman decides to turn to his favorite hobby, astrology, as a way to turn around the team's fortunes. He brings his idea to an astrologer named Mona Mondieu (Stockard Channing), and they come up with the perfect concept: A team composed of players who were born under the astrological sign of Pisces (matching the star sign of Moses Guthrie), thus the 'birth' of "The Pittsburgh Pisces!"Thanx Wikipedia!!! lol

"Bullet-bullet bullllet, bullet bullet! You so fine you so fine! Lawd have mercy you so fine!" that was a classic moment for me in the movie that Debbie Allen's character (a fan) was yelling to one of the players named Bullet of course...yeah i was 5-6 years old repeating it to everyone lol. Well if you never heard of this flick then you need to find out! C-L-A-S-S-I-C!!!

Bullshit Filter

I wear a filter
To stop the bull
I wear a protector
Because these lies make me full

Of the crap
So these lies I refuse to grasp
Trying to feed me bull in my lap
Do I look like a sap?

Lies
Alibis
Deny
Is your reply?

Twisted words that make no sense
Nonsense
Wasted energy
Spent

So I wear a bullshit filter
To keep away
The lies and nonsense
Of the day

Don't need an armor suit
To change the route
Or a lie repellent
Because that is irrelevant

Expression of lies
And then you wonder why
You rely
On alibis

Loose lips
Sink ships
Because they drip
Nonsense

So I wear
A bullshit filter
To keep away the lies
And the verbal litter

So step to me
Honestly
Expressively
Positively

No lies
