Scratch that...
I saw him for the 3rd or 4th time this weekend...but I actually MET him on Monday.
This gentleman upon 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 100th encounter with him seems to always be in the midst of some type of....
Shucking and jiving...so to speak.
I knew he was building on a platform of being a funny guy, but generally with people I kinda take them at face value. I saw him as a shucker and jiver who had a deep thought here and there...but no substance really. Sorry if he's reading this...but that's what I thought, just like I'm sure you could have seen me as some little club hood rat lol.
Anywho...we had a brief (yet profound) convo on Monday behind the scenes of twitter which gave me a newfound respect for him as a person, especially seeing as though we share the same ideology in regards to what was discussed...you don't find that trait (that was discussed) often it people...it was refreshing.
I said to him "I didn't know you actually had some sense about yourself sir"
He repled: "Grandma always told me 'a SMART nigga can play DUMB, but a DUMB nigga CAN'T PLAY SMART!' "
I like that.
So thumbs up to you sir
Thou hath earned my respect...and that is no easy task
