Here's what it wat, wig?
She came up to me, all up in the overpass and teethin' on her old lip and lookin like she been eatin' sparklers, and I said:

"Hoewwwwd UP!

Girl, you right out buggin'. Step up over them lies from your weave and hop back on your noggin wagon. You out in the mystic, buzzin back at bees. Come in and eat like a person. Get some vegetables."

She look back like a Dr. Frankenstein made a sunbeam out of dead monkey, all on fire and hairy. I let her have what I didn't want to be mine, but it ended up being a fist full of tulips which ain't worth no morrows when it got makesup on it.

I guess we all just need to keep the Lord out our sundries.

there's an old myth about a soul who had lost everything she ever had.. (to be honest, this myth is not old at all).. And instead she gained the one thing she never had : freedom



For a long time she was wandering here and there, trying to fing a place to stay.. Cars drove by with tremendous speed and she kept her hands to her pockets, walking.




Did not afraid of any beast made by man or jungle..



she had a tooth fairy for protection and every where she slept there was festival down the road. She could hear the yells and the screams of joy, the music not aloud.. she liked to listen to all kinds of sounds but her favortie was the waves of the ocean..

She hardly slept at all but she had no complaint..


and she used to love flowers..



I met her in the airport, spending time around the coffee shop and a little corner she used as a bed. I looked after her things while she was going to toilet or get someting to eat..

I told her about my dream ~ the last day i slept with my girl i saw her fears and doubts about me.. She said noting, nodding her head like a Tibetan monk.

I was ready to hear some words of wisdom when i realized that wisdon is inside of all of us and words of wisdom are just something like an alarm, tick-tack and driiiiiinn !!



She had a way of making me feel comfortable she lost her job and stayed homeless in Sao Paulo, the capital of homeless people..

"My girl.. or i dont know anymore if she wants to be my girl..
THE DIARY (Worlds Greatest Rap Megamix)





Mar 26 2009 9:45 AM

Diary 1.5 Cover

THE DIARY Volume 1.5 (20 Years of the Remix) now available for free download at WWW.MUSICOFSUBSTANCE.COM!

“This CD just shows how much Chris Read knows about historic Hip Hop production techniques - Its just a shame he wasn't creating this stuff during the eras he's covering as we would probably rate the man as being up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! - I can't think of another Hip Hop CD I've played so much in years” (ANDY SMITH - PORTISHEAD)

"Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope 'The Diary' megamix in the shape of a remix project, re-lacing acapellas from 89-2009 with historically accurate beats. 'The Diary 1.5' serves as a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills whilst referencing those who've inspired him." (DJ WOODY - FORMER WORLD ITF CHAMPION)

“Wicked! The perfect companion to The Diary Mixtape. Shows an impressive knowledge of sounds from all eras.” (MR THING - FORMER WORLD DMC CHAMPION)

"Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop.
Double thumbs up!" (MARC HYPE - FORMER ITF CHAMPION)
