Another Part of Me

"Another Side of Me"

What's up world? I hope everyone is doing well and living their life to the fullest. If you haven't already, go check out the newest sketch from the Pick 6 crew, "Blockers Insurance". We've all had that moment when we've been attempting to get quality time and someone kept interrupting. Well we've got the insurance for that now (click here to see the commercial).

I really had a topic I wanted to drop, but I will save that for the next blog. For now, sit back and enjoy a little rhyme I wrote.

No matter how close we are, it feels like you evade me/
Suburban Black kid, you just don’t relate to me/
And that’s how it go, my own hood don’t relate to me/
Feeling out of this world; my crib’s outer space to me/
Maybe that’s why when I get “"Sirius”"/
You look at me funny, like I’m reciting “Delirious”/
Not Eddie with the jokes, but you can come in my America/
But why I gotta be mackin to show I ain’t scared of ya?
When I flirt, it ain’t all jokes, Bay-by/
I ain’t Martin, this ain’t “"You So Crazy”" /
When I’m done call Sheneneh to re-glue your tracks/
Make you scream til Bruh Man hears; so Runteldat!
This Slick Rick has had his eye on you for quite a while/
Intelligent, Fashionista, such a gorgeous smile/
But when you seek a man that match your profile/
They’re so out of place, like cheap kitchen floor tile/
No matter, girl, I’ll be your Home Depot/
Cool as an Ice Cube, you don’t need a Debo/
Won’t run off my skills, you already seen those/
But it’s time to take a risk, like drafting Tim Tebow/
If you don’t know him, excuse the analogy/
But I wanna be the man who you feel proud to be/
Walking hand and hands with/
Sitting in the stands with/
Talking with Jay and B, that’s who we making plans with/
I know it’s a little corny to be expressive/
I f’d up, I sent a good morning message/
But it’s just one side, I’m also aggressive/
I’m a Rick Ross album: Way more than you expected/
Im just reflecting, Im a reflection/
Of how great we go together; it’s almost perfection/
What’s wrong girl? Why won’t you side with me?
It’s probably because you only see one side of me.

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...

The Nice Guy Rules

"Nice guys finish last." What a hogwash statement. Seriously; it's baloney, maybe even pastrami. Through entertainment, business, and romance, the belief is that a man with etiquette and morals is one with diseases, like the measles or swine flu. When you turn on your television or read your news...kindle, you witness arrogant, womanizing egomaniacs praised as charismatic men with undeniable "swagger". Men who are interested in helping others and making people enjoy themselves are undervalued. The result is young men trying too hard. These men, known as "Nice Guys", are seen as sweet people who are great to know and make you laugh, but are OFTEN over looked for men who...use less effort to receive approval. As a teen and in my early college years, I played into this. It's such a weird feeling; you become enamored with doing right by people, as if it determines whether people will like you. Half the time, if you are "too" nice, peo...

I'm a Hater (Acknowledging Your Faults and Using to Reach Prosperity)

I, Cedric Charles Perry, am a hater. Whew...though it's tough to say, admission is the first step to recovery. It's a gene that has traveled throughout my family tree; my great-grandmother has been recognized as one of the more influential haters during the civil rights movement. My sister Dee actually holds the Pennsylvania state record for most consecutive statements using the word "corny", with 46. It appears that there are numerous types of haters; my type is called "Conditional Hater", where in attempts to create humor, I will break out in uncontrollable hating. Recognizing that this trait runs in my family, I was bound to be a hater and it's better for me to acknowledge this now and help others who share this condition. To better address this addiction, which currently affect approximately 3.6 million people in America (I made that number up), let's identify what hating is. Rapper LL Cool J once stated that hating is "identifying a perso...
