Hip Hop Artist Darrow
Modern Satire
It all started with Source Magazine. I loved Hip Hop. All the hot women that I had a crush on and the cool men that I wanted to grow up and be like. It was like a dream. I wanted to rap. I wanted to be Biggie or Tupac. Just to see what it would be like if I was a major star and on stage in the front of the world. My brother and I spent countless hours studying Hip Hop from Source and everything else. It was fun. It was incredible. It was amazing. It was life. The older I got the more I wanted to do my thing. The more I wanted to show my game. It was becoming more of who I am. So much my brother had to drag me out of the store. I was infatuated with Hip Hop. And then watching the stars on TV, seeing them shine and represent. I was completely captured and in a daze over their game. I could not stand missing their show on TV because I could not afford to pay for their concert. And watching them give back inspiring the youth and showing others that they could be just like them. Finally my mother got to me, she was a single mother and a Christian woman. She did not like my infatuation with Hip Hop. She knew I was in love with Hip Hop as much as she was in love with Gospel Music. And she would not let me be late to Church. And I could understand the Lord is good and the Lord gives gifts. Even Hip Hop artists thank the Lord. Maybe the Lord will give me a gift like rapping. I was hopeful and praying. Some of the guys at school were at church and they would talking about my brother and I . They would try to outdo us. They would try to outsmart us. They were jealous. And my brother told me to wait for our turn. It turned out one day that our mother got sick and told my older brother to take me to church. And my older brother learned how to drive way before me. And he told me that we are gonna do something. We are gonna show those boys that we could do it. And I said how? And he said you're gonna freestyle. And so we drove up. And the boys were making fun saying that driving in your Momma's car. And my brother calmed them down and said let's rap freestyle. And so the boys chose their leader to rap and he was good. And my brother gave him his props but he said I know something better, someone better and he introduced me. And I first had a hard time until my older brother threw down a hot beat. And I started Yo fellas I hate to break your game. I hate to break your style or confidence. But let me break it down. Teach you a lesson that never been taught. Teach you something about my neighborhood. Yeah you say that I am corny and a geek but I'm hard as nails, hard as scales and if you mess with me you'll be down by the riverside. Cause it will take God Almighty to get you back up. So enough with that stuff brother let's diss these misses and get a fresh anointing from the Holy Ghost. And my brother laughed out loud. And the boys gave an ugly look and they were divided on how dope that was. And my brother cheered me on and said how proud he was of me. And we went to church. When we came home, Momma was at the door and she was interested at how church went and if we went. And after arguing and saying she cook dinner she said that her church friend called and told her what had happen. Momma said Darrow you are going to college no matter how good you are at rap. And I thought hard until my last day at high school what was I gonna be. And a counselor tried many jobs but they did not work. And I took a test. And the results came in but they were inconclusive. Then my principal Mr. Balckman took me aside and my mother and said Darrow how would you like to study Africana studies. And I said what and so did Momma. Mr. Balckman said it would teach you rap and the history of your people. And Momma almost objected until Mr. Balckman said that he could be an executive in a company if he studies Africana studies plus learn about his people, what they did not teach you in school. Mr. Balckman said Don't you know one of my rapper friends teach a class as professor. And I said I could try but I want his class. And Momma eventually agreed. And so I met with DaRock the Platinum Producer who produced for so many rap artists, he talked to Momma and I. And then he asked me about my rapping, so I freestyle. And he asked Momma if I would rap for him and that he would make sure that I get the degree. And Momma agree hesitantly. And that's when Bobble was created. It came after I battle numerous of rappers on Coast to Coast Showcase but the wait was worth it. It became a Hollywood Number One and showed up with the Grammys.
