The Women I Know: My Big Sister

I know some dope women. Growing up I was surrounded by women. I grew up in a single parent household which included my mother and my two sisters. So I guess that gave me some deeper insight into relationships with women. I love all of the women in my life. For without them I would never make it through. They hold me down. And I am gracious for it.
I never was the type of guy to just look at women as if they were beneath me. Maybe that's because in my house as a child my mother was more fierce than any man that I had ever met in my life. Not only that I had an older sister who was pretty tough on me too. I even remember my sister fighting two guys who messed with me when i was a little kid. Ha! She had a pair of pink 54.11 Reebok's that she called her "fighting shoes"! And boy when I saw her running down those stairs from our apartment on 55th & Kaul on that summer day I knew she meant business...and she did. She taught me alot as a kid. Without her I wouldn't know how to tie my shoes, recite my alphabet...so many things. She introduced me to West Coast Hip Hop and then East Coast Hip Hop when I was stuck on Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. In 1996 she even bought me my first copy of "Reasonable Doubt" on tape! I wasn't even feeling Jay Z! She had some progressive forsight. She was one of those dope "90's Girls" who all the guys on my block wanted to hang out with. Without her......growing up would have been pretty bleek.
Peep this video by early nineties rapper "Boss". She was on some real hard thug stuff...too bad she eventually got questioned about her private school background and eventully faded from Hip Hop existence. Thats too funny! However me and my sister used to LOVE this song. She even bought the bootleg copy of this album from Afro Fest! Lol. Back in the days.
More on the women i know later.
