My friend, Jenn, and I went to a Christian rap concert on Friday night and it was awesome, to say the least. Or how would my G's say it? "Off the chain?" The feature of the night was a rapper, named T-Bone, who has won multiple Grammy and Dove awards in the Christian Hip Hop/Rap artist category. The first few hours were local artists including a group called GRITS--I have some of their stuff on my iPod, but T-Bone was who I was there for. But not only is he Christian, he is, in my opinion, the most talented rapper out there right now, on the Christian or secular charts.
When he came out on stage the crowd went crazy. There was this one kid next to me (who was white) who knew all the lyrics and was spittin' em out just as fast. It was quite entertaining. When he performed his song 'Ride Wit Me', in which the phrase, "...come ride wit a playa from the cili-cali west side..." is spat, I must admit that I gave a little "WOOT WOOT!"
The "west side" is where I'll be heading in a week from today. I'm packing up my car in the next few days here coming up and I'll be heading to Jenn's house to spend some time. Then on Sunday, once I pick up my brother from Midway, I'll drive back to California where I know I belong. As it will be hard to leave those whom I've grown close to back here, I look forward to going home with expectations that only time will redeem.
