Kickin It Old Skool..an excerpt from T.Semakula's upcoming book titled "The Food Stamp Bandit"




Kickin It Old Skool

by T. Semakula

The eighties. Blue Adidas with fat white laces, Gazelles, and furry white Kangols. Members Only jackets and painted on Sergio Valente. Crack was roaming the hood like a crooked cop, taking out aunties, friends, and mamas. Hip Hop gave birth to a new canon that spit out stars such as Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, and Special K.
Nowadays, the eighties are considered Old Skool. The folk that used to rule this decade have faded like the memory of Rodney King being slapped with the police batons. Let’s face it, before he died, the late Micheal Jackson was looking for a sponsor, Prince pushed past fifty, and sweet little Rudy, from the Cosby Show, kicked off her old persona, and portrayed a cracked out hooker in one of Tyler Perry’s blockbusters.
