Do me a favor and wear your hat for Jimmy.

WARNING! 
If you are not mentally and emotionally prepared to deal with this kind s#it I advise you to
WEAR A CONDOM!

This is a perfect example of when the artists in hip hop (now reduced to just the rap music industry) used to creatively venture out, and experiment with all kinds of controversial topics like black on black crime, the drug epidemic (when it was depicted as a bad and destructive thing), domestic violence, as well as other topics that needed to be touched in an attempt to improve our ever deteriorating urban community.

Now most of the emphasis is focused on commercialism while using artists as marketing tools for product placement and advertisement.  There's nothing wrong with making money but there is something wrong with completely ignoring and downplaying any suggestion to promote any true quality of life (for our community) in the process.

The song is called "Jimmy", short for "Jim-hat" the slang word used in the 80s for condom. To this day if you ask someone for a "Jim-hat" they would pretty much have an idea what you're talking about . It was written and produced by KRS ONE of Boogie Down Productions. Not only was this song informative and entertaining it was also very well received and popular. It covered many scenarios on why it is important to wear that condom. Back then it was more about not getting "burnt" (meaning "burned" the slang for catching an STD). An unexpected/unwanted pregnancy is always a current issue.

Latex and safe sex rhymes.

Let it melt in her mouth or in her hand but NOT in her "va-jay-jay!" not without a condom!


Contain those little monsters coming out of your monster with just a thin layer of latex, that's all you need.
Gatorade is thirst aid. Have her drink it instead.


Your energizer bunny will cost you lots of money if you don't cover it up! The child support payments will keep going and going and going...


Catch 'em all! If just ONE escapes it will be a wrap for you!


All it takes is for you to pop JUST ONE then it's all over.

The message is in the music... Listen, enjoy and use a condom

Crank That Child Support!

This is a perfect example why safe sex is very important!! Crazy pregnant girl sings "Crank That Child Support" to her baby's father putting him in on blast for the world to see! SMH... There was a video of her sitting in front of the camera rubbing her pregnant belly and singing this song she wrote but it was taken down. All that is available now is the audio. The sound quality is sketchy but you'll still get the gist of the nonsense.

If you don't the take the time to properly look for the right partner and you get her pregnant this is what the test will say when you look at it!

This may appear funny and entertaining to you but make no mistake these situations are very real! You can get stuck and have no choice but to deal with someone for quite a few years and blow a great deal of money before getting your life back and YOU DON'T WANT THAT!

No Rubber? Oh brother that's trouble!

Cover it up while you're "LOVIN' IT".

Don't think about it "JUST DO IT".

If you don't have a condom "FINGER" or "LICK" it.

Or HAVE IT YOUR WAY" and just take your chances.

This was a very relevant song in the late eighties by an artist called Lloyd D. Stiff during the days of the AIDS epidemic when it bombarded the media.

"Do No Left Ya Condom!"

Put on that life insurance! Your future depends on it.

Funny but true!

Method Man & Redman talks about the bull$#its of Child Support (1:09-8:50)

Look at Redman's expression. It's saying "Ain't that some bull$#it?!"

The key to survival is to keep your emotions in check and not obsess or stress over anyone or thing for that matter. If a woman is interested let her show that by being at least being civil and not sadistic or inconsiderate by making the man chase them or wait forever until she's good and ready to bless him with her presence and time. Whether it be in a relationship or just "sexual relations" if she wants to stick around, great! If she wants to move on hey, that's great too. If you surf the wave of mishap you will never wipe-out. What makes YOU happy is what's truly important. Purge anyone and/or anything that poses threat or a problem to your peace of mind and well being.

Never prematurely paint a perfect picture of your relationship! That's nothing but counting chickens before hatching and that never works. High hopes, expectations and premonitions of the future are exciting but unrealistic. You're much better off living one day at a time hoping for the best but ready for the worst. Women are impulsive, insecure and callous to a degree. They are usually suspicious and quick to make aspirations of blame and jump from decision to decision within a matter of seconds. Now you're subjected to unanswered phone calls, text messages with no reply and listening to her voicemail trying to get back something that was unnecessarily lost in the first place. This mainly applies when a real foundation has yet been established or when a relationship is plagued with petty disputes and differences. Why put yourself through that? Instead be happy by always being prepared by keeping a variety like an assortment of Timberland boots and Marite Francois Girbaud Jeans in various colors.

Enter (her) at your own risk!

 

I have witnessed mothers that lived above and beyond their means on the father's tab without any regards to saving a red penny for a rainy day. They are banking on the idea that there will always be money on the way. The system is NOT designed for fathers so it is strongly advised to not get caught up in the child support system by having an unexpected child. The child support system knows what to expect from it's recipients as well as the compensator(s). The agency virtually runs itself. They know the mothers will make sure that they get what's coming to them. If they don't, they will not hesitate to notify the agency and have you reap the repercussions.


As far as those mothers are concerned there is no need to keep book or show proof where the money is going, simply collect and spend. The common understanding is to give up the money and mind your business. As long as he/she is alive and well there is nothing left for you as the father to know. After all, who are you to question anything? You're not the one that carried the child for nine months. That piece of leverage came with the package from the very beginning. 


In many cases paternal compensation is a supplemental income for the mothers while the fathers make due with a fraction of one. This second income can possibly pay for fetishes and luxuries instead of legitimate expenses. Make no mistake, this is not to say that the fathers are free from financial responsibility. It's just that most of the time the money is spent more on wants and not so much needs. It may even go to things that has nothing to do with the child at all but since the child live with mom, the custodial parent it's easier to make it appear justifiable.

She's pregnant?! Whose fault is that?

All women have the power to make sure that it doesn't happen. Come on, their bodies are the host. They also have the capability to change the outcome so that it does not drag anyone down with them in the process. The big question is, why would anyone leave their fate in the hands of somebody else and simply hope for the best? (I'm talking to you fellas!) That's just reckless!. Ironically this is happening over and over right now this very second as you reading this. Men, you MUST take responsibility in PROTECTING YOURSELVES because no one is going do it for you, especially not her. For all you know she probably secretly wants a baby or maybe one of those types that no matter how bad or seemingly hopeless a situation is termination is not, will not and may never be an option.

You must be aware of what you are doing and who you are doing it with! If or when an incident occurs you will hear "It's your fault", "Nobody put a gun to you head!", "Who told you NOT to protect yourself?", "It takes two" "You have no one to blame but yourself". "You went wrong from the beginning by relying on her in the first place." You know what? They'd be right! It may appear that (most) women have you in their best interest but they really don't. You can say you're not ready or you need to focus on other things before thinking about children but all she'll hear is "Womp, Womp, Womp". There are subtle hints you must pay attention to in order to determine if they are in it for you or for themselves and what they want.

If THEY have a particular goal to achieve such as acquiring a degree, launching a business or career they will obviously feel more strongly about postponing having children because that's in THEIR best interest at the time; but even in this instance a man can still come along, side track and dismantle their operation. It's usually their nature to make having a baby supersede everything else. Without this mindset procreation would be in constant jeopardy. Secondly, their rationale is either they're going to have one eventually (if they have none yet) or that having another one won't be a big deal. All they have to do is switch their priorities around to accommodate the new upcoming changes. Women can be so indecisive and unpredictable they're barely sure of themselves. This is why when you're not enthused about the idea they are less than pleased with you. She figures if she can alter her life why can't you?! This will bring you to a proverbial fork in the road which more than likely you won't have much say on which one to take. You will be fighting against a much bigger force than you thought. So please! maintain your options by wearing a condom.

I don't sweat these ho3$ pt.1

"I don't sweat these ho3$, I keep 'em in flavors like Timbos & Girbos" is the line that started it all. Lyrics by The late Notorious B.I.G. from a song called "That Ain't Right"; track #15 on his debut album "Ready to Die" (Bad Boy Records 1995). It depicts the urban perspective of various unsavory behaviors that justifies most of the feelings and actions towards those types of women.

So, what did he mean by "those?" I'll translate "I don't sweat these ho3$" translates into "I don't over exert myself with concern to the point of anxiety and perspiring over opportunistic, scheming, self absorbed women with short attention spans and/or memory. You turn cold and apathetic to what women think or do because you've learned the hard way there's little to nothing you can do about it. So instead of losing your composure worrying, getting angry, stalking (which is a big NO-NO) or busting a blood vessel always remember and practice the golden rule, stay under control and always be cool.

Letter To My Son

Letter To My Son... 
Don Trip has really got something here. It has to be for it to have 3 videos for the same song. The message is strong, it captures your attention as soon as he starts rapping, not to mention the countless men that relates and empathize with what he's saying.

Throughout the entire song there is a deep rooted embedded message and that is KNOW WHOM YOU ARE BEDDING! If you want to have a child with someone know who you are dealing with first. If something does go wrong (as in a pregnancy) can you see yourself with this person making it work? If your answer is no you really need to think about what you're getting yourself into. Pump the breaks on love. If you know you do not want to have a child with the person your having sex with you better be wearing a condom. You do not want to be trapped with someone that can make your life miserable.

Check out his 3 videos below:

This is the first "Letter To My Son" video. Filmed entirely in the booth.
