You Wack Emcees

Same swag, different day
As some people may want to say
But the truth is their swag is stuuupid
Or stupendous but... only to themselves 'cause
The mirror mirror on the wall
Told them lies, saying they were the dopest of all
Got them walking around proud and tall
Head all off in a fog
Caused by the smog birthed from the hot air they blow
Steeped in the deep part of their souls
Its to that place that they go, where life is a show
And emceeing is all they know
Hard to break free when panties are being thrown
Business cards are being show, and jets are being flown
And you just want to be put on
One...just get a tag for your bag
Play like you just got back from there, son
Keep moving around with other phony ones
Playing like they networking but really club hopping
Fake studio and video spot shopping
But only up north Chicago 'cause thats what's popping
I think you better just stop it
See, there's respect for the grind
You don't just get to shine 'cause you feeling starlike
Or you look good on your photo holding a mic
Yeah, you gotta hustle homie
But not hustle ya homies
You want to spit hot fire like
"Dylan, Dylan, Dylan...Dylan, Dylan"
But when you open your mouth you just be lyyying
Laying there day dreaming about how cold you want to be
Overestimating the greatness of your lyrical quality
You make folk yell out like B.I.G. (R.I.P.)
"Vamoose, you're wack to me.  Take those wack rhymes
back to the factory".
Or get a refund and hire a ghostwriter
That way you're not reeeeally a biter
Plus it will free up your time
So you can just practice rhyming line by line
In the mirror
So your facial expressions can start
Look clearer
And you can work on being fresh to death

Can Men & Women Be Platonic Friends? Sure, If One is Gay and the Other is Straight...

"Platonic friendship works best between members of the opposite sex when at least one of them is gay..." That's what my married male friend told me a few years ago after one of my "platonic" male friends started acting crazy.  Maybe there is some truth in the statement, though?  Historically, I have maintained that not only were co-ed platonic friendships possible, but were actually normative but I've changed my mind.  Pheromones is a helluva drug.   Maybe its possible, but not so much.  Sure, there are times when two friends are low key feeling each other and end up together like the movie  Brown Sugar (rare unicorn moments) .   However, it is more likely that two friends have some weird love story playing out based on mutual attraction and basic smashing (where one person doesn't want much else) like in the video  Half Crazy  by Musiq, where one person is lying about just being friends like in "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie, or where two peo...

Attraction, Pheromones, and Hennessy

🎶 Let's talk about sex baby, let's talk about you and me, let's talk about all the good things and he bad things that could be...let's talk about sex.  Let's talk about sex.  🎶 That's right.  This is the "R" rated edition of Erie's World.  I'm hell-bent on getting it in.  No pun intended. And...just joking a bit, but since sex is always a hot topic and because since people are either always doing it, ya know--the sex, or thinking about doing it I figure we can at least talk about it.  Well, we can scratch the surface by looking at a few possible precursors to sex:  attraction, pheromones, and Hennessy.   Attraction, pheromones and Hennessy (or brown liquor in general) each have he capacity to affect your feelings, and feelings dictate actions for a lot of people. Even though this is based on a person's individual make up, I don't think we can deny that attraction, pheromones and Hennessy each have the capacity to increase certain...

The Art of Manipulation: Gas Lighting and Domestic Violence

The late comedian Richard Pryor once joked about his wife walking in on him having sex with another woman and his attempt to convince her that she was not seeing the situation accurately: "Who are you going to  believe ”, he asked hoping to confuse her, “me — or your  lying eyes ?" While it was just a joke and the audience probably got a good laugh from it, trying to convince someone that they did not see what they actually  did  see is a tactic used by manipulators to gain power and control. It’s abusive, and although the terms manipulation and abuse are not synonymous, it seems undeniable that they often go hand-in-hand when one seeks to gain or maintain power and control over another person. I recall being at a friend's house a few years back and stumbling upon the book, "The Art of Manipulation: How to Get Anybody to Do What You Want".  This book literally provides the "how-to's" of manipulation as well as the telltale signs for kn...
