Strange sensation

K so now there is hype re the Hasidic Jew that is singing reggae, I will say good for him doing his thing. BUT, I think peeps should hold off on anointing him the next reggae superstar. Here are a few things: a lot of the hype is based on the fact that he is a Hasidic Jew (when was the last time you saw a Hasidic Jew singing anything much less reggae); he is a white guy doing Reggae; don’t forget DJ Snow; there is a serious hype machine behind him.; half the peeps listening to Matisyahu (that’s the Artist’s name by the way) can’t understand a damn thing, but there peeps have told them that it is cool.

About Me

My photo
Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
