Born On Stage / Died On Wax
Too Short - I Ain't Trippin' (1988 / Rap)
Hello internet pals of music. Today we’re dusting off the bullshit with Oakland rap royalty.
The world would be a better place if everyone just stopped and looked in their own backyard before telling me about mine (and yours and yours and yours…).
Look, I don’t know what you’ve been through. But I know what I have, and that’s really the only true knowledge any of us will ever get in this strange whirlwind of cosmic dust dispersion.

So with that mind, go forth into your weekend and don’t trip. I’m sure there’s some sort of koan that sums this all up better, but I’m too busy boppin’ to this to figure it out.
We’re here for a good time, not a long time.
*Also, let’s take a moment to really look at that album cover. It may be one of the hardest rap album covers of all time.
SERMONS! is brought to you by Musik Klub. You can also find Jamie on Twitter and Instagram, if that’s your thing. Like what you’re hearing? Help spread the word!
