These are racist: And, I’m not referring to the state colleges represented. Although University of Georgia is racist. How else can you explain their refusal to win any significant football championship or even a single game against the Gamecocks notwithstanding the presence of so many great African-American athletes on their team? They must not want […]

An Anniversary: Four Years of News Rap
Feeling wistful at four. Sometimes you just have to get back up. Everything you do. Start. Middle. Finish. Complete the task. I’m somewhere in the middle. Of song blogging and life. Happy birthday song blogging. Chingy knows what time it is. Performed by theipoetlaureate. Music produced by Dalama Jones. Lyrics here. Today’s blong here: [wpaudio […]
Move Something
I have been rapping for 25 years. This impossibly archived Baltimore Sun article proves it. Yeah, you read that right. Denim shorts. Trust me, son. Smooth. So it seems weird that my first commercially distributed solo record, Simple Moves, turns only 10 this year. Of course, there was certainly plenty of music before that, including […]

A House on Beekman. Mott Haven 2013. Performed by theipoetlaureate. Music produced by juicebox jackson. Lyrics here. Today’s blong here: [wpaudio url=”http://www.ipoetblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Break-Chain.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Break Chain“]

Where I’m From
It’s sort of a joke among friends that I claim everywhere as my hometown. So, I’m originally from Detroit. Well, actually I was born at the University of Michigan hospital in Ann Arbor. But, we lived in Pontiac. For four whole years. So, I’m really from Pontiac. But, I claim all three. And, I’ve seen […]
Back to School
Today’s blong is dedicated to that one mom who’s in the pick-up-line three hours early every day. She can’t keep her eyes off me. We had an open house Monday night. I’m pretty sure there were three cars already in line for today’s pick up. Back to school. Written and performed by theipoetlaureate. Music produced […]
The Lion King
Naaaaaaaants ingonyama bagithi Baba! [Today’s post sort of requires you to picture me at the peak of Pride Rock hoisting a blong aloft over my head. Not a tall order, since I’ve been seen holding blongs aloft before.] My son’s cat, Hedwig, disappeared about 4 months ago. I’ve previously shared other cat tragedy on this […]
Mott Haven
Performed by ipoetlaureate. Music produced by DJ Clutch (adapted from the original instrumental by DJ Kurfu for the song “The Way We Walk” off my debut album, Simple Moves.)

Love Hurts
So we just switched from Directv to DISH to save some cash on our monthly television bill. I know. That’s like going to only one Tahoe to save on gas or drinking a diet soda at a Mongolian Barbeque to save on calories. Baby steps. Except if the baby couldn’t actually take any steps at […]
