Recognition

What's up y'all? Keeping my skills sharp by writing some rhymes. I promised y'all a snippet, so I'll drop it tonight. For the moment, enjoy my piece, "Recognition".

Competition’s running out the clock, I guess they too shook to win/
Standing next to Q “Dawgs”; Taking hooks to the chin/
But I’m an ape, man/
Ain’t no debatin/
Giant even when I’m not playin’, Michael Strahan/
I seem to have them on the run, like they Michael Vick/
Rocking clothes that still have the tag, you not it/
Skinny Jeans, I can do without ‘em/
And I leave the Snapbacks to Dev and Malcolm/
Lil Bro eatin Turkey Bacon, so I handle beef/
Let them know why my name stands for English Chief/
Can’t wait to be king, I get Simba with mines/
Every day I make HIStory; Remember the Time?
Check it out, I go to work before I punch the clock/
Diversified my portfolio before I worked with stocks/
Back me in a cage, and I will go Brock/
Don’t know Keri, but I make Pretty Girls Rock/
Need a leader, baby? Sign me up/
I’ll build you a winner; call me Coach Cowher/
And I do like I’m doing it for tv/
This 6 swing for the fence…Ryan Howard/
Please understand, that I plan to be the man/
Right now I’m in the lab, doing some minor tweaking/
Recognize you don’t have much time left/
Cuz everybody waiting for me, like the weekend.

"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...
