GROWING UP RAH

I'M BACK!!!! EPISODE 31.. IT'S 88 .. YALL REMEMBER 1988, SCHOOL DAZE, THE RUNNING MAN, ACID WASH JEANS, SHIRT KINGS SWEATSHIRTS, CAMEO FLAT TOPS, DAPPER DAN, DOOR KNOCKERS, DOPE ROPE CHAINS, YALL KNOW THE VIBES.

Start of Sophomore year .. The fall of 87, I'm 15 .. welcome to the vibe. The Hottest group out was EPMD, LL & Kool Moe Dee was beefing. Troop sneakers was the hottest kicks.. and I'm enjoying it all. LOL

It's the summer of 87.. just finished my first year of high school. I remember spending the a few days with my moms who at the time lived downtown bk.. this was much different than living in the stay. Lets go back to the summer joints of 87

Whats good.. at the time this was recorded, I couldn't think of a title. As I listened back, it reminded me of that time when I decided to ride along with my Aunt as she delivered flowers on Mothers day Sunday.  We was out all day , radio blasting and my damn allergies going ballistic. LOL but hey I had fun.

1987 .. the spot built/saccony era, Jordan 2's , Adult Osh Kosh... and the start of the radio wars between The Rap Attack (WBLS) & DJ Red Alert ( KISS FM).. At 14 & half way through my freshman year of high school.. I was here for it. LOL

What's good people.. I'm back with another  episode.   It's the fall of 1986.. The start of my freshman year of high school.  Shout out all the Paul Robeson alumni . As you can imagine , it a brand new world from middle school.  Rah's not in Kansas anymore. LOL

LET'S TAKE IT BACK TO THE END OF MIDDEL SCHOOL. I'M DONE WITH THE EIGTH GRADE.. I GRADUATED (IT WASNT EASY) , LOL SAID GOOD BYE TO ALL MY FRIENDS .. NOW I'M PANICING CAUSE IN TWO MONTHS.... HIGH SCHOOL

I'm Back.. It's been awhile but Here I am with EPISODE 24 ... NO TRIX IN A.DEE.SIX!!!  IT'S MY LAST YEAR OF JUNIOR HIGH..  I'M EVEN MORE A HIP HOP HEAD. IT'S THE YEAR THAT DOPEST RAP COMES OUT... WHAT MORE CAN I SAY BUT PRESS PLAY.

So around this time I was trying to get accepted into Art & Design HS. In order to do that I had to create a portfolio of all my art skills to present. On top of that , do an entrance test and a freaking interview.... All awhile trying to live my new found double life as the school's new graffiti vandal LOL.  

It's the fall of 85. I'm starting 8th grade and my love for hip hop increases. I also discover my new passion for Graffiti Art.  I take on the tag name RASK and it's on. This was also around the time Krush Groove & Rocky IV hits the screen. Both classics but nobody wanted to see APOLLO DIE.. however  we all cheered when ROCKY kicked Drago's ass . LOL

It's the Summer of 1985..  I'm 12 dealing with puberty & I discover the Rap Attack.  The Iconic Show with Mr. Magic & DJ Marley Marl used to come on too late for me to listen then that summer the radio station changed the show hours to 9pm. Early enough for me to now because a devoted listener. 

I'm back for Episode 20.. Chilling in Homeroom.  It's 1985.. 7th Grade in full swing. 

Aw man... September 84 .. The first day of Junior High. IS 308.. Life was way different from elementary school. I now have a new found freedom, new friends and a lot of new experiences.. More bad than good LOL. But hey that's life in a new school.
