As the proud father of 3 kids (that i know of), one can imagine that I've had more than my share of those inspirational moments that make the world of a parent go 'round. These moments include, but are not limited to, first words and steps (every 2 years for me), first ollies, seeing a child in a tailored suit, and the like. Let's not forget the 6 words spoken at a Five Guys that melts every father's soul, "Dad, I want bacon on mine".
Typically these moments are created during times of teaching and learning, but one gets a real dose of true character when a child is observed without his or her knowledge. This was exemplified recently while I observed my 2nd born from a distance. He was diligently working on his string of puzzles (genius), when I heard him utter some very familiar words that again shook me to my roots. In the perfect rhythm and timbre of your boy Jay-Hova, Xavier (to himself) belts out......
"Hip-Hop, started out in the park...we used to do it to avoid the Narcs!"
I know, right?

I have the same problem myself with Bonnie Rait, Phoebe Snow, and Paul Simon....er...wait, Xavier is way cooler than me.
Naaaaaah, Na way!
I just got my mind blow. Like woh.
I dint even know the word narcs till mid high school...it was around the same time I moved to Virginia and was called one.
Thats unreal.
Similar thang this past weekend....but just way less cool. With Nick Ritz and his kids at dinner and there was a violin player. He came by Alex (Ritz's oldest)...and played a three song transition meddly. I think it was Twinkle>Farmer in the Del>Jolly good fellow. Young Alex beat his head with joy at each transition so excited he knew the next jam. Ghost> Free mug. Kids and music is amazing.
Man thats so less cool.
X-man looks like he could give a beat down in that photo
Whats the blue sh*t?
Dont mean to make a tasteless joke...but it looks like the upper lip of many of my san diego compodres and me after some zaney sniffin.
just saying.
best story ever.
Shocked that the story didn't include Diego spitting Nas' verse to that banger.
The thing I take away from this is that you are pumping hip hop into your boys at a rate unrivaled by previous generations. So proud.
August is definately going to get beat up by his Principe cousins.
Two for flinching mug.
