wow i havent updated in forever

 

ok so pirates closed last weekend. it was sad but it had to happen. im glad we had alot of shows and i met a lot of cool people doing it. anyway saturday i saw sweeney todd at Cap. that was madd ill. jeremy and tracylynn were in it. they were in pirates with me. good show, weird story, but good.

so my show, THE HAUNTED HONEYMOON, is starting rehearsals which freakin rules. we had auditions a couple of weeks back and i didnt get the part i wanted but its ok cuz i got a better part. its a murder mystery, and im the spooky loner guy! how cool is that!?! now i have to write his life story and have it by tuesday.

i really need to get deep nto my hip hop. ive been lacking and i feel like somethings missing. i need my hip hop. i feel so out of the loop. but i was just watching BET and they have this new video with madd artists. its called "wake up everybody." it got me all excited cuz i feel like we gonna make it. so i gotta get down to writing and freestyling too. its important. ya know, gotta change da world n that.

Yo this is big. my dads friend owns a dj production company. hes like the top of the line. madd expensive. and my dad was talkin to him like a week ago and his friend was saying how he takes apprentices to learn to dj. my dad suggested me and he was like yeah that would be great. he said that if i did it, wat would happen is, i would go and move equipment, stuff like that, and help where needed. then i wud learn as i went the skillz i need from whoever was djing. i wud get paid like 50. then after he thought i was good enough he cud send me out to do a party myself. that wud be a while probably but its all good, since insha'Allah i wud start at like 150! START! 150! that more than most highschool kids make after a week of work. id make it in a day insha'Allah. so the same ammount of $, in a week, but they gotta work everyday, i gotta work 1. mwaaaaahahahahaha!!! lol. so then i cud keep doin it into college. i cud end up makin 400 a show! that means money to be put away for: car, school, place to live, wedding.

INSHA'ALLAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Yo my arabic is coming along. masood gave me and steve study books that come with a cd and it makes it so much easier. its just hard to find time for everything. ya Allah!

 

i got a busy week.

TUESDAY: i got rehearsal

WEDNESDAY: Usher and Kanye at MSG!

THURSDAY: nothing, just guitar

FRIDAY: city again, this time lincoln center. goin to da OPERA, La Boheme

SATURDAY: PSATs and maybe Rocky YPT

and either fri or sat is the first day of Ramadan!

 

there was more but i cant remember...

its all good ill post again insha'Allah

 

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa RahamatuLLahi Wa Barakatuhu

I learned Hebrew the same way, good luck
happy Ramadan (the 15th right?)
are you really religious?
if so I guess you didn't celebrate simchas torah (the drunk dancing with the torah this past thrusday (7th).
do you address both your faiths? (or only belive and know about one, just curious my father was a christian and my mom a Jew by blood).
From what you write you seem to aware of the world and larger things...how are you into hip hop at the same time?...its seems like two different worlds...only like Common, India Arie, and underground types of rappers and people in hip hop scene are into and aware of that sort of stuff...you really feel pasionate and part of all that?...Personally I left the hip hop stuff because I felt its didn't reflect my way of life, belief or an open mind; along with the music becoming sooo clishe (the same).
hope I'm not irrating just curious lol

no not irratating at all...

i guess im religious, not extremely but religious
i guess u could say maybe more religious for most but not for muslims
my mom is jewish and my dad is catholic
i grew up with a light mix of both and i ended up converting to Islam about a year ago
so no drunkin dancing lol

i really dont get wat u mean about being aware and being hip hop
theyre entirely related
i do feel i am a part of hip hop and the sub-culture
it is a big part of my life
Common and India Arie are great, also brothers and sisters like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, Black Thought, Anthony Hamilton, Nas, Alicia Keys, Hi Tek, and Jada represent Hip Hops soul, to me at least

If U dont know what i mean, rent Brown Sugar, my new Favorite Movie. Its a love story thats a metaphor for hip hop.

but your right
about the music
there needs to be a change in Hip Hop
but were doin better and the future is bright

and i know wat cliche means lol

interesting...how did you come upon Islam?

The hip hop you mentioned is not mainstream
I like and own their CD's (I love Nas and many of the above artists)
but thats a small portion of the hip hip, different from the rest of the subculture
I see now how that fits though cool

chiche* I cant spell, glad you knew what I ment

Being a Muslim myself I find it interesting when I meet other Muslims who face the same challenges as me. Such as balancing the religion with other aspects of life
