I know this image still haunts Memphis fans.  Take it in. 

So this morning I put in Ras Kass’ album, Soul on Ice(shout out to Guy) but I didn’t even get through one song because of the new SLOT-A banger in my car.  I was writing verses on the way to work.  My bad.  However, it has been brought to my attention that a few events have happened that are making my city and University look bad.  First off, there has been tension at the University of Kansas between the basketball and football teams.  Apparently, a female has been dating one of each and the guys don’t like it.  So rather than saying “fuck her” they have had TWO on campus fights.  The first one, Tyshawn Taylor, KU’s sophomore guard, threw a punch outside of The Jayhawk Towers and dislocated his thumb.  The following day, several players from each side apparently got into a fight in the middle of campus at Wescoe.  Now if anyone knows how important the bastkeball team is not only to the university but the entire state itself, you would understand that these players are celebrities.  Even though they are 18,19 and 20 year old kids, their star status is that of grown men who represent much more than just a basketball team.  They make everyone who is a Jayhawk proud of who they are.  They are a reflection of the history, the class and the esteem that comes with being part of the University.  I understand that boys are boys and their actions will be forgiven(especially if they win another championship) but these guys need to have an understanding of what they represent before they even step foot on campus.  To fight, get injured and be out for several weeks over a female(especially when those guys can’t stay out of the way of _________ fill in the blank) is just plain dumb.  I don’t want to take shots at any of the players on either side because they are still kids and kids make mistakes.  They didn’t ask for that star power and probably don’t realize the extent of it.  However, the truth of the matter is, they are international superstars.  I see people wearing KU gear every day in Chicago.  There are TWO bars in Chicago dedicated to KU fans.  So these guy’s actions affect EVERY Jayhawk on the planet.  To add insult to injury, the papers took quotes from Tyshawn’s Facebook page and publicized them.  Another mistake that was made but should have been forseen.  I always say that celebs shouldn’t have Twitter or Facebook because there is no filter and most things either come off or get interpretted wrong.  It has happend COUNTLESS times so far.  People have blogs, sites and rumor sections based on Twitter comments so if you are already in the limelight and subject to scrutiny, stay the FUCK off of these sites.  I hope that both the basketball and football teams will gain a valuable understanding of exactly what they represent and the star power that they possess.  Having said that, shout out to both teams and we look forward to incredible seasons from both of you.  Rock Chalk.  

In related news, my girl Nads9754 hit me up and told me that there are protestors from Topeka in New York protesting some Jewish gathering or event.  I don’t know any of the details but I am going to assume that those protestors are the Phelps family.  They are reknowned for protesting all across the country against gay people and gay rights.  They show up at funerals, churches, meetings, speeches, etc.  I want to let everyone know that, YES they are from Topeka BUT they have been assaulted and harrassed by Topekans for their ridiculous beliefs.  They even made a cameo in the Bruno movie.  The scene was shot about 8 blocks from my mom’s house at one of the Phelps’ favorite locations.  Just know it’s FUCK the Phelps.  If you make it to Topeka, you should drive north on 12th street from Oakley towards Gage and look for a compound and a church with a banner that says www.godhatesfags.com or some shit.  It is one of the most popular tourist locations in Topeka.  The fucked up part is that a lot of the Phelps are attorneys so they know the laws and get away with A LOT of bullshit.  Anyway, happy Friday to all, Ras Kass Soul on Ice is my weekend theme music.   I hope these events(including the bullshit that happened with Jazzy Jeff in KC) don’t ruin your opinions of Kansas, the University or the people.  It is a great place with some incredible people.
