Schmiddy's Timbz Do Work


Smif n Wesson - "Timbz Do Work" ft. Heltah Skeltah


Note: Schmiddy sent me a mail this morning at 2:48am, after arriving back at home from the world's best rap concert ever. I'm not normally one to do guest posts, but this was hilarious to me. Also, me and Schmiddy are like BFF. My edits (for clarity/content) are in brackets. Otherwise, this is all his doing.

*************

Y’all know I usually wouldn’t ask for a guest entry, because y’all muh’fuckas been reading this shit for years, just like me. But this is special, this is special muh’fuckas. And yeah, I’ll be calling you muh’fuckas a lot, because rap told me to and because I put it in my clipboard. But I mean it in the most sincere, respectful and beloved way possible – rest assured muh’fuckas.


Schmiddy's not-so-yellow Timbs + icicle accessoires. Click for a close up.

So the reason I wanna post here, muh’fuckas, is because I would like you muh’fuckas to take a look at my Timbs. That’s right, these used to be perfectly clean yellow Timbs, like Big Baby Jebus intended them to be [Ed: I can vouch for this, as I've encountered them more than once just chillin in the shower after he's cleaned them]. And yes, those are [icicles] stuck in my Timbs, because it’s cold as fuck in Hamburg. The line up for the concert I went to tonight justify how my Timbs look.

Ladies and muh’fuckas:

Jeru the Damaja
MirkoMachine
Paris
Tha Alkaholiks
The Lords of the Underground
The Beatnuts, dedededuh-de.

If you know me, you know right now [that this concert made me jizz in my pants in a completely non-sexual way]. My pants are all types of stiff and they used to be baggy [Ed: from all the dancing and sweating and hip hop moshing], muh’fuckas. That’s disgusting, I know and that’s like "mehr geht nich’, alta!" (translate that for me Brooks). [Ed: ummm "dude, it doesn't get better than this!"]

Let me recap. In 1996, I was in Anderson, Indiana and Jeru, the dirty rotten scoundrel, dropped Wrath of the Math – entirely produced by [DJ Premier] – one of my favorite albums of all time. Later, I paid 22€ for this piece of wax after years of searching for it. This muh’fucka delivered a real dope show. Later, I saw him leave with some [...] 20-year old chick. That makes you wonder how deep those conscious-ass lyrics [...] are. But dammit I didn’t go there to see my idols kill themselves. I came there to have a good time, right?

So next, my man Mirko. Not only one of Germany’s finest DJs, but one the world’s best. I think he won some DMC championship(s) in the early 90s and he has only improved ever since.

Next, Paris. Now, he was the only one I didn’t know. Oddly enough, he’s the only one my buddies Mr. Schlimm and his crew (some mid-30s metal heads) did know. They love themselves some hardcore metal and old school rap [Ed: Just like Schmiddy]. And when I say old school muh’fuckas, I mean old school like Busta Rhymes meant it when he was one of the Leaders of the New School in '91. So Paris apparently was the support for the PE concert in December and he sounds just like that. By the way, Schlimm is the dude who tossed a glass of beer at Flava Flav’s head when he tried to promote his show “Flava of Love” on stage. I had that confirmed from random sources on the street: "Yeah, the PE concert was dope, except when this dude threw a cup of beer at Flav’s dome!"

I honored Tha Liks by not taking part in the mosh pit, but by drinking more beer.

L.O.T.U.G. This is another story from Indiana… I was at Anderson’s public library teaching myself HTML [Ed: See, I told you he was a nerd] and borrowed AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted by Ice Cube and Keepers of the Funk by the Lords [Ed: Wait, they had those albums in Anderson, IN?]. I taped them shits, ‘cause Frauenhofer hadn’t invented mp3s, yet. Lord Jazz, Mr. Funkyman and Do-It-All – some of the most funky-ass shit I’ve heard to this day muh’fuckas! Skeeeeeet!

Ahhhhh, and the grand finale by big JuJu and Psycho Les. C'mon they don’t need to do shit but step on the stage. Stone Crazy! One of the first albums I bought when I got back to Dortmund in '97. For reals muh’fuckas.

Peace,
Schmiddinger


PS: Congrats on your offspring, Remington!

PPS: Muh’fuckas, I just wish I had some Bobo’s Chicken honey right now.

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
