Drake keep your hopess high honey. I know times you feel lonely & cold. I feel the same way but I have hope. You will find someone to trust one day. You have to be patient & get to know me when I want to get to know you. Be positive you will meet me one day but you have to promise to give me a chance if you want to find the real me. If not then you miss out on finding Real love. Your true love has lots of patience & is understanding. A good listener & into romance. Down to earth, real & honest. Your just gonna have to trust yourself before you can trust me baby. Your on a journey, me too. I'm working hard right now for my future. I got plans & I don't want to settle until I'm comfortable & successful. I love you so much baby & you take care of yourself :-)

Drizzy, EFF all these hoes and bitches on here! if you want to get to know a person, im the one for you, but im not gonna rush you. you are a busy man, and you know where your expectations are in LIFE. but its been weird because since you came out here on your bday, its like you have been in my dreams, and ive been thinking about you, and its like my dream has came true or something. ive been going through your main pages and looking at everything you type on twitter, facebook, and NEVER on tumblr, because i know how scared you are with your generation. TUMBLR is basically just all pics that you can show to everyone, but im on it too only (sometimes) not quite often though. But i sure would like to get to know you so much more, what you do really want to do with a woman that you can trust?? i cant trust anyone in 2012, just like what you wrote. Youre very mature for your age, and i love that for a guy. and it kinda turns me on sometimes! i know that theres other ppl writing you, but i am the one that you are looking for, not to be effed up or anything. I LOVE you so much.

FYI on "WHY" Ludacris is upset:
Ludacris dropped a mixtape yesterday, and a couple of tracks in particular have a lot of people talking. There's an internet's worth of speculation going on, but first, some background:
In an interview with AllHipHop, Drake spoke about the hashtag flow, also known as the "Supa Dupa" flow, and he explained that he believes Big Sean was the originator:
To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like…I trace it back to Big Sean. That's the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I'll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don't want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on "Forever." Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They're all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don't want to offend somebody…I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] "It's a parade! MACY'S!"
That Macy's line, of course, was from Ludacris' "My Chick Bad." During a later interview with MTV, Big Sean was asked about the flow. He responded:
"I think some artists just did it so wack man. Every time I say names I get in trouble and it's like I'm dissing, but some people used it wack. If he said Ludacris used it wack, hey."
Those two interviews laid down the groundwork for a beef between Ludacris and the tagteam of Big Sean and Drake, but that was back in February and March. Months passed, and we didn't hear anything from Luda. Until yesterday.
About halfway through Luda's 1.21 Gigawatts: Back To The First Time mixtape, there's an interlude called "History Lesson." It traces the hashtag flow all the way back in time, running through snippets of the flow being used by multiple rappers over the years and ending in 1991 with Q-Tip. This seems like a clear response from Luda—his presentation of evidence that Big Sean was not the first to use the flow.
"History Lesson" was just the beginning of Luda's response. The next track on the mixtape is called "Bada Boom," and this is where Luda really goes in. No names are mentioned, but throughout the song, the veteran rapper makes it pretty clear what he's talking about. Here are some of the lines in quesion:
"Counterfeit rappers say I'm stealing they flows, but I can't steal what you never made up bitch/Y'all some duplicate rap cloning niggas/I manufacture you hoes put on your makeup bitch.
"Let me explain, nothing's been new since Big Daddy Kane/Flows will get recycled, passed around to different names."
Y'all get a couple hit records, make some noise and have the nerve to start shouting?/Who's gassing 'em?
You lyin' to yourself, just admit it/May not like the way I used it, but you know you ain't invent it, boy/Do your research before you make a claim so bogus that's disrespecting pioneers in the game.
'My Chick Bad' went platinum, still winning motherfucker!"
This has been a long time coming, but it looks like Ludacris finally got tired of holding back.

Fireworks I love your concert pictures. They should post them on ATF.
Thank you Oliver for posting these pics. Are you guys in Vegas? You're in my town. Get over here!!! =) The pic on the top is me in my black OVO jacket flipping off all the haterz... jk but it looks like me... LMFAO!!! Not really though... Lol! If you're in Vegas, please tweet. Come see me! I will flip off the haters in person. :)
The whole Ludacris thing IS Ludacris. It' like arguing who invented the "POST IT".
Who was first to publish a copyright album with Hash Tag Flow... Just wondering. "Forever" and "Over" by Drake was released late 2008, almost four years ago... Unless Luda has something before that, he didn't invent it. "My Chick Bad" wasn't released until 2010. People were doing Hash Tag Flow for nearly two years before Ludacris "My Chick Bad" ever came out. Luda did not invent Hash Tag if it was already there. Hash Tag was a style Luda listened to for two years and copied.
Then again Kanye might say Curtis Mayfield or Monica with Jay-Z, but other people that prefer "Drake-ism" argue that the lyrics and vocals by Mayfield and Monica are not Hash Tag. I disagree with Kanye because Curtis Mayfield and Monica were great vocalists, but their metaphoric style was obviously not Hash Tag.
Other people think it's Young Money that did Hash Tag first. I think it was Young Money that is credited to of course, Big Sean... for what song? Idk. Where is this "supposed" song from Big Sean? I'd like to hear it. When was it published? No one mentions what song... Young Money needs to clarify this. Unless there is something earlier than "Forever" and "Over", Hash Tag Flow was invented in 2008 by Drake, Drake invented it.
Hot 97 needs to check records with Big Sean and Drake. The radio station needs to fix this and let everyone know who invented what. That's all I want to say.
The Thanksgiving buffet in Vegas ROCKS!!! Is Tyga still in town too... Idk? The weather is warmer. You should stay awhile... Lol! :)
Love ya,

Sorry, Big Sean, but Drake "Forever" made in late 2008, came out August 22, 2009, and was released on BET September 22, 2009.
"Supa Dupa" was released September 30, 2009; Big Sean happened later.

@Anonymous 5:47am recognition for Jay-Z? Who is a Jay-Z? A man. I'm not trying to come at you at all. This idol worship of man is just sickening. Jay-Z calls himself Jayhovah. That is so blasphemous. He is a rapper. He has since evolved into a businessman but he is still a man. He is no god. There is only one God. I guess when people have you sitting on their shoulders, you can't help but believe the hype. I pray I never get that way. It's false pride and you know what they say....pride comes before the fall.
- November 22, 2011 at 9:36 AM
nice argument... kinda. but clearly you didn't hear the Ludacris song "Bada Boom", because preluding the song is an interlude called "History lesson", where Ludacris actually does the work of tracing the origin of the so-called hashtag flow all the way from now with the drake/bigsean/...etc etc etc.../methodman/biggie/...etc etc etc... to way back ending with Q-Tip in 1990s.
it's actually very well done. give it a listen if u get the chance.
ps. i'm not sure who really said what and how this all got blow out of proportion, but if Drake did say that Ludacris was wack for using the macy day parade line then i don't think he really meant any harm and Luda took this way too personally. i mean, there are a lot of mainstream rappers (Lil'Wayne included) who have REALLY bad one liners.

The claims that Ludacris invented Hash Tag Flow with Q-tip in September of 2009 is not warranted because:
1. The lyrics to Q-tip rhymes, but lacks metaphors that substitute "like" and "as". The lyrics, though they rhyme, have no metaphors, do not even remotely Hash Tag Flow.
2. The date Luda invented "Qtip" was invented after both Drake and Big Sean had their hits. With Q-tip, which was released later, Ludacris did in fact copy them.
3. Then Ludacris attacks Drake and Big Sean with "Bada Boom" which shows bad sportsmanship.
I respect Ludacris as an artist. He is creative. He is a true fighter, as he fought with T.I. back in the day, but might doesn't make right, and Luda didn't invent Hash Tag Flow.
Drake's tweet
@BigSean You awlready know. I wish they'd just let young niggas live...respect always
Drake still has respect for Ludacris.
I had the dates wrong...Sean released a second mixtape hosted by Mick Boogie on April 16, 2009, called UKNOWBIGSEAN. It featured the songs "Million Dollars", "Get'cha Some" and "Supa Dupa".
Still Drake's "Forever" was released in late 2008, which is earlier than Big Sean's "Supa Dupa" from April 16, 2009.
FOREVER still wins...
Still Drake is the earliest for Hash Tag Flow with "Forever" which was cut in early 2008 and leaked. Jay-Z even called it the best posse cut of the year.
Read it and weep.
The track was produced by Boi-1da and originally used by Kardinal Offishall featuring Rock City in early 2008 as "Bring It Back". Kardinal did not use the song for his album and it was later re-sold to Drake which was released in late-2008 as "I Want This Forever" featuring Lil Wayne and Nut da Kidd. In an interview, Kardinal stated that his version was a leaked demo, and was supposed to appear on his album, Not 4 Sale, as well as a soundtrack. He also revealed that Drake wrote the hook, "He had written it and then we were supposed to get either Rock City or Akon or T-Pain to sing it." The 2009 version of "Forever" features Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. Rapper Jay-Z called it the best posse cut of the year.
Drake did in fact invent Hash Tag Flow with "Forever" in late 2008.
Let's quash this now... What is the exact date for "Forever" release? Can anyone find a earlier date for published Hash Tag Flow than late 2008? I think this might be it.

For Ludacris fans, Hash Tag Flow is not only a series of rhymes, it is metaphors that omit "like" and "as".
This is Hash Tag Flow at it's finest.
Last name ever,
first name greatest,
like a sprained ankle boy I ain't nuttin to play with,
started off local, but thanks to all the haters,
i know G4 pilots on a first name basis,
and your city faded off the brown, Nino,
she insists she got more class, we know!
swimming in the money come and find me, Nemo,
if i was at the club you know I ball'd, chemo,
drop the mixtape that sh-t sounded like an album
who'd have thought a country wide tour would be the outcome
labels want my name beside the X like Malcolm
everybody got a deal, I did it without one,
yeah n-gga i'm about my business,
killing all these rappers you would swear I had a hit list,
everyone who doubted me is asking for forgiveness,
if you aint been a part of it at least you got to witness,
Take that... For all the Drake haters, show me an earlier better version of that, and I'll be a believer. Lol!!! ;)

what the hell are u talking about? i'm sorry, u lost me there for a sec... k, first listen to the ludacris interlude called "History Lesson". He doesn't ever say that he created the hashtag flow. Instead he traces all the rappers who used it starting from 2011.... all the way back to 1991 where the rapper Q-Tip (if you don't know who this is, then you don't reallyy do not know hiphop) was the first person to use it. He goes on to say in the song "Bada Boom" that the rapper Big Daddy Kane (again, if you don't know who this is, then you do not know hiphop) was the first person to create rap flows in general, and hiphop artist's will continue to recycle his flow through time. So for ANYONE (Drake and Big Sean included) to say that they were the ones to invent this flow, which Q-Tip started back in 1991, after Big Daddy Kane pioneered rap, is insulting. I completely agree with Ludacris on this point. Too many young hiphop artist's think they're doing something new, when in fact, they are just copying their flows from some of hiphop's pioneers.
- November 22, 2011 at 4:09 PM
History Lesson Interlude in which Ludacris runs through snippets from Cam'ron (2003), Method Man (1998), Biggie (1997) and Q-Tip (1991) all using the so called hashtag flow over the years.
If you think Drake's lyrics from "Forever" are anything ner Q-Tip's lyrics, you must be stoopid.
- November 22, 2011 at 4:14 PM
@Winning that's Bs bc wasn't Big Sean beefin with Drake about him copying him?? That's bullshit if he's saying Ludicris is copying him now bc Ludicris was one of the first comedian rappers to do all that crazy funny stuff in his music videos also Missy Elliott too. Big Sean is a new rap Artist adjusting to fame. He is different as a rap artist but I don't think he's over the top omg I never seen that before new..

You have a collection of older generation of artists that I'm not familiar with, I admit that, claiming they did it all first... Okay... If they started Hash Tag Flow with Cam'ron (2003), Method Man (1998), Biggie (1997) and Q-Tip (1991) all using the flow over the years.
Which songs from what artist? What is the title of the song? When were the songs released? Then we will look at them.
My problem with believing that they invented Hash Tag Flow back then, no disrespect to their pioneering, but why wasn't the term "Hash Tag Flow" coined way back when? My only answer to that is because it's a new thing.
It's like saying Michael Jackson didn't invent break dancing because people have been break dancing from the beginning of time... Give a guy due credit... Lol! Just saying :)

Hey Anony, I think I know what you're talking about... Am I right?
This is Ludacris' big argument that he invented Hash Tag Flow... Listen to the first music . Luda says, "that flow must have been 20 years ago... I must have stole that shit from myself..."
Ludacris is awesome funny, but all the music samples Luda gave were one or two liners, not even a full 4-6 bars, no song title, no album title, no release date. Some of the bars were rhyming only, and some used "as" and "like" which Hash Tag avoids. Some of the samples Ludacris gave are not valid. Ludacris was vague in his argument. He needs to be more specific. I wasn't satisfied with the clips.

It was never named, 'hashtag' or 'supa dupa', until Big Sean dubbed the style 'supa dupa' and claimed he invented it. Twenty years ago, it was just a brand new style of rapping which Q-Tip actually invented.
If we're going to use analogies, then let's talk basketball. Julius Erving is a legend to the game; who created the modern style of playing back in the 70s that led to the style of play that you see today. Then comes along Michael Jordan in the 90s; using the exact same style of play and becoming famous off of it. Fans started branding Jordan and claiming that he was original when clearly true fans of the sport know better. Likewise, you could say that Q-Tip started this style of rap in the 90s. Fastforward to 2011, and you have both Big Sean and Drake using the same style, and now branding it the 'hashtag' or 'supa dupa' flow.
Ok? And now just for fun, I'm going to school you on the Ludacris' 'History Lesson':
Drake "Over" - Thank me later(2010)
"Making sure the Young Money ship is never sinkin / Bout to set it off in this bitch...Jada Pinkett."
Big Sean "Supa Dupa Lemonade" - Finally Famous Vol 3: BIG (2009)
"And if she's on my pipe, I will make her go down...Draino / Tell that bitch to eat her heart out...Kano"
Bobby V "Beep" Remix ft Ludacris, Lil'Wayne - Rebirth(2008)
"She got her rocks off, and I got the cops off / In my fire red lamborghini........hot sauce."
Kanye West "Good Life" ft T-Pain - Graduation(2007)
"Y'all pop the trunk, I pop the hood...Ferrari / And she got that ass, I got to look...sorry / Haters give me them salty looks...Lawry's"
Cam'Ron "Dipset Anthem" ft Juelz Santana- Diplomatic Immunity(2003)
"I'm on the westside of Chicago, lookin' for a bust down / And make me put my two arms up...touchdown."
Method Man "Cradle Rock" ft Left Eye, Booster - Tical 2000: Judgement Day(1998)
"The aliens we just landed and you in the way / overthrow these niggas planet...Independence Day."
Puff Daddy "All about the Benjamins" Remix ft The LOX, Lil'Kim, Notorious BIG - No Way Out(2007)
"Make it hard to figure me, liquor be, kickin me in the asshole / undercover...Donnie Brasco."
A Tribe Called Quest "Buggin' Out" - The Low End Theory(1991)
"Zulu Nation, brothers that's creation / Minds get flooded...ejaculation."
FYI: A Tribe Called Quest consists of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed. Drake does pay tribute to them on the song "Show me a Good Time" from Thank Me Later(2010) with the line:
"Tell me, can we kick it like Ali Shaheed and Phife Dawg/People hate it when a backpack rapper get rich and start living that life dog"
For those who don't know, "Can I Kick It?" was the group's third single from their debut album in 1991 that helped revolutionize the entire hiphop movement.
There is a documentary called "Beats, Rhymes, & Life: The travels of A Tribe Called Quest" (2011) by Michael Rapaport, that is well worth the watch for anyone that is interested in checking out.

Hey Anony... if we all want to be really ridiculous, we could say the traditional Zulu tribe in South Africa in the 16th century invented Hash Tag Flow!!! LMAO... :)
- November 22, 2011 at 10:52 PM
Also worth googling for kicks are two new flows that Drake has come up with:
1) The Angry Kitten Flow
As seen in:
"Over My Dead Body" -
"Don't make me take your life apart boy / You and whoever the fuck gave you your start boy / you wanna be a [sings] motherfuckin funny guyyyyyyyyy..."
"Headlines" -
"You know good and well that you don't wanna problem like that / You gon make someone around me catch a body like that / [sings] Ooooooh no, don't do it."
"Marvin's Room" -
"Her white friend said 'you niggas crazy' / I hope no one heard that / [sings] cause if they did we gon be in some troubbbbbbbbbbbblllllllllllleeeeee."
It's where Drake raps a few intimidating lines, then delivers the most intimidating part of that line in the softest and least intimidating singing voice ever.
2) The High Note Flow
As seen in:
"Round of Applause" Remix -
"She could've pay tuition five times still strippin / just throw a couple bills, and shes have [high note] a pair of heels"
"Underground Kings" -
"That was back in the days, Acura days / I was a cold dude, I'm getting back [high note] to my ways"
It's where Drake randomly draws attention to the end of a line by saying the last word in the highest note possible like you just swallowed a tank full of helium.

If we go back to 1991, A Tribe Called Quest (which included Q-tip), wrote Bugging Out. This is their song.
Buggin' Out Lyrics
Artist(Band):A Tribe Called Quest
[Phife Dawg]
Yo, microphone check one two what is this
The five foot assassin with the ruffneck business
I float like gravity, never had a cavity
Got more rhymes than the Winans's got family
No need to sweat Arsenio to gain some type of fame
No shame in my game cause I'll always be the same
Styles upon styles upon styles is what I have
You wanna diss the Phifer but you still don't know the half
I sport New Balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path
Messin round with this you catch (Ass) the sizin of em (Balls)I never half step cause I'm not a half stepper
Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr. Pepper
Refuse to com-pete with BS competition
Your name ain't Special Ed so won't you Seckle With the Mission
I never walk the streets, think it's all about me
Even though deep in my heart, it really could be
I just try my best to like go all out
Some might even say yo shorty black you're buggin' out
Uhhh, uhhh, uhhh, uh!
Zulu Nation, brothers that's creation
Minds get flooded, ejaculation
right on the two inch tape
The Abstract poet incognito, runsss the cape
Not the best not the worst and occasionally I curse to get my
point across, so bust, the floss
As I go in betweeen, the grit and the dirt
Listen to the mission listen Miss as I do work, umm
as I crack the, monotone
Children of the jazz so, get your own
Smokin all the weed cause they try to do me
or the best of the pack but they can't do rap
For it's Abstract, orig-inal
You can't get your own and that's, pitiful
I know I'd be the man if I cold yanked the plug
on R&B, but I can't and that's bugged
Buggin out, buggin out, buggin out you're buggin out (repeat 8X)
[Phife Dawg]
Yo when you bug out, you usually have a reason for the action
Sometimes you don't it's just for mere satisfaction
People be houndin, always surroundin
Pulsin, just like a migraine poundin
You don't really fret, you stay in your sense
Come an fight your feeling, of absolute tense
You soar off to another world, deep in your mind
But people seem to take that, as being unkind
"Oh yo he's acting stank," really on a regal?
A man of the fame not a man of the people
Believe that if you wanna but I tell you this much
Riding on the train with no dough, sucks
Once again a case of your feet in my Nike's
If a crowd is in my realm I'm saying -- mic please
Hip-hop is living, can't yank the plug
if you do the result, will end up kind of bugged
Yo, I am not an invalid although I used to smoke the weed out
Ali Shaheed Muhammad used to say I had to be out
Schemin on the cookies with the crazy boomin back buns
Pushin on the real (ass) hardest (dick) so we can have the big fun
When I left for Rosie I was Boulevard status
Battling a MC was when Tip was at his baddest
It was one MC after one MC
What the world could they be wanting see from little old me
Do I have the formula to save the world?
Or was it just because I used to swipe the women and all the girls
I'm the type of brother with the crazy extended hand kid
Dissed by all my brothers I was all up what my man did
Supposed to be my man but now I wonder cause you're feeble
I go out with the strongest and I seperate the evils
it's your brain against my mind, for those about to boot out
All you nasty critters even though you see I bug out
Buggin out, buggin out, buggin out you're buggin out (repeat 8X)

@BonaFide lol @ Zulu tribe comment. There is nothing new under the sun. We just like to think otherwise. It serves the psyche. It's all been repackaged and resold.

I'm wondering if there is a difference between Hash Tag Rap and Hash Tag Flow because Q-tip uses his format very loosely. He's more of a free format and stumbled upon it because he doesn't use it consecutively. They are spread out.
This is definitely Hash Tag:
Zulu Nation, brothers that's creation
Minds get flooded, ejaculation
There are only one double bar by Q-tip. Idk if that's enough to qualify it as a complete Hash Tag Flow... It is most def Hash Tag though, more stumbled upon than anything. It's more of a rhyme, a rap, than a flow.
Let me show you the difference with Big Sean then we'll have to check out Method Man in 1998 and compare his Hash Tag Flow.

This is Supa Dupa by Big Sean... Every bar except for the ending is almost all Hash Tag Flow. It's not a one liner, 4-6 bars... it's the WHOLE song. Check this out.
Supa Dupa lyrics
I am a supa, dupa, troopa
Used to the bottom - scuba
So I'm on the grind - skateboard or scoota,
'Till I am the king of my castle - Koopa,
Dawg i took a shot in the dark in an industry of sharks
That's surrounded by water - Cuba,
I can make an Einstein's mind feel stoopa
And I can make an insecure bitch feel supa
Realest nigga eva - Kunta Kinte
Ultra - master, super - sensei
Dawg, in the ninth inning
We're just trying to hit a homer - marge
Comprende? Hard - al dente
MJ - Jordan or Jackson
Only difference is, I ain't fucking with these kids
Sean - Big
A problem too big - trig
You niggas ain't shit - pissed - tsk tsk
I does it, I I does it (Does it)
And I'm gonna make this look like nothin' (nothin')
Watch me make this look like nothin' (it's nothin')
I'm gonna make this look like nothin'
I am Solo, Dolo
When they see me on my high horse - polo
You see what I'm wearin, I know those
Hoes'll want the same thing - homo
Elton, JoJo
Made for the block - O'Neil, Romo
You hated on the block - robo po-po
But more important-ly
The story of my life, is to get glory off of mic's - Quincy
Remember that the F, F doesn't stand for Fendy
Finally Famous - you are an attendee
You are labeled small - indie
Scene me, or sent me
And I'm expected to blow - Lindsay
And if she's on my pipe, I will make her go down - Draino
Tell that bitch to eat her heart out - Caino
Hannibal, Cannibal,
Sean, the man up in the hood
Mechanical, this is the manual.
I does it, I I does it (Does it)
And I'm gonna make this look like nothing (nothin)
Watch me make this look like nothing (its nothin)
I'm gonna make this look like nothin
This is why Big Sean wants credit... The whole song, except the last 4 bars, Supa Dupa is a Hash Tag Flow.

Fast Forward... 1998... Seven years later to Method Man with his song "Judgement Day". This is a very clever song.
Judgement Day
First.. there was the collapse of civilization
Anarchy, genocide, starvation
Then.. when it seemed like shit couldn't get any more fucked up
We got The Plague
The Living Death
Closing his icy grip around the whole planet
Then the rumors started
The last hardcore MC's.. were working on a cure
.. that would END the pestilence.. why?
I like the death
I *LIKE* the misery
Space, The Final Frontier
These are the voy-voy-voyages of the Starship TICAL
As I walk in the shadow of death
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
Your host this evening for H-O-T
N-I-S, you get splashed with the Tec
Nobody go, til the God say so
You got a second or mo', to run for the do'
Before I blow back off the map, contact
You didn't know stack, couldn't get down like that
Who want them test rocket launcher, YES
Mr. Meth, hold the fort, most def'
Kids is dead wrong, song's too long
Get swung on, can't we all get along?
See my pinkie, see my thumb
See that kid with the pawn shop gun?
Bust your gums, leave your whole shit numb
Mmmm now what's this? Smell like fish
Mr. Big Mouth, the gat be trout
You need to douche out your style no doubt
Johnny struck through the Shaolin slum
PRUM PRUM PRUM on my Shaolin drum
Niggaz don't dare, to step in the square
Kids ain't playin over here, PLAYA
Only one way, and that's my way
Grim Reaper callin, Judgement Day
(10) Ten let the countdown begin
(9) I was born in the mind
(8) Take the head of a snake
(7) Behold Armaggedeon
(6) Ain't no love for the rich
(5) Only strong will survive
(4) Cause we live by the sword
(3) Plus sixty degrees
(2) For the black and the blue
(1) For the sun.. step into millenium
The name of this one is Judgement Day
No more BS, can't come out and play
Don't blame me, blame society
Type of chemistry for a live MC
Hands in the air like you just don't care
You all get a share, there's a party over here
Year two-thousand, keep bouncin
T-Minus, thirty seconds and countin
New York's finest, still wildin, Shaolin
At the full moon howlin
Get Til It's Gone, killa bee kills
Only time will reveal like the words in the song
Cause love's what I feel for my crew, bust steel
Niggaz don't got to pay my bills
P.L.O. pack the slingshot flow
Plant the seed, let the garden grow
And stick that rhyme where the sun don't shine
Darts pierce your heart like a Valentine
Tis my Tale From the Crypt that's sick
Bloodbath, body baths and shit
U-F-C fightin championships
G.I. Joe's with the Kung-Fu Grip
Now you don't dare, to step in the square
Kids ain't playin over here, PLAYA
Only one way, and that's my way
Grim Reaper callin, Judgement Day
C'mon.. I said c'mon..
(10) Ten let the countdown begin
(9) I was born in the mind
(8) Take the head of a snake
(7) Behold Armaggedeon
(6) Ain't no love for the rich
(5) Only strong will survive
(4) Cause we live by the sword
(3) Plus sixty degrees
(2) For the black and the blue
(1) For the sun.. step into millenium

Method Man 1998, Judgement Day, a brilliant song, but I don't know which line Ludacris was addressing as the Hash Tag Flow line... It's one line? Is one line enough? I think Method Man has some freestyle and rhymes mainly. I think it's got to be at least a couple articulated bars. Q-tip had more and did it earlier.
This sounds Hash Tag... Maybe...
Grim Reaper calling, Judgement Day
Here's another possible Hash Tag about 4 bars, partially freestyle.

You didn't know stack, couldn't get down like that

I believe that Biggie had something else prior in 1997... Idk what that was... that's before my time... Do you know what that one was? I think Ludacris mentioned it.

This is my rough draft conclusion about Hash Tag Flow.
The term was coined by Kanye West on Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show November 3, 2010.
Pioneers of Hash Tag Flow are:
1. It's origin, the Zulu tribe of South Africa 16th Century.
2. (1991) A Tribe Called Quest "Buggin' Out" - The Low End Theory which included Q-tip and Ludacris.
3. (1997) Biggie -- ???? the song Ludacris referred to (still looking into this song).
4. (1998) Method Man "Cradle Rock" ft Left Eye, Booster - Tical 2000: Judgement Day.
5. (2003) Cam'Ron "Dipset Anthem" ft Juelz Santana- Diplomatic Immunity (still looking into this song).
6. (2007) Kanye West "Good Life" ft T-Pain - Graduation (still looking into this song).
7. (2008?) Bobby V "Beep" Remix ft Ludacris, Lil'Wayne - "Rebirth" (still looking into this song).
8. (late 2008) Drake - "Forever".
9. (end of 2008/early 2009) Big Sean "Supa Dupa" and "Supa Dupa Lemonade" - Finally Famous Vol 3: BIG.
10. (2010) Drake - "Over".
Who was the first to invent it? Honestly, I think there were too many freestyle flows that included it, that there, with Kanye's permission, define Hash Tag Flow, as more than just a 2-bar or 4-bar, but the song in it's whole should be Hash Tag in order to claim the artist of "origination". There are too many artist that want to claim it with two bars or so, and I don't think that's earned.
The consensus and argument for Big Sean "Supa Dupa" is that the entire song is ALL Hash Tag Flow... You can't deny that. Unless someone else did a whole song in entirety for Hash Tag flow prior to "Supa Dupa" release date April 16, 2009, Big Sean, no question about it, originated Hash Tag Flow.
Are there any arguments for "whole" songs in entirety that are solely composed of Hash Tag Flow in entirety prior to Big Sean's "Supa Dupa"? If not... some times people that are starting out do big things, give credit to Big Sean.

A dilemma is shared by parents all over the country whose children have late-summer birthdays. Should they start kindergarten? Or "redshirt" them, as it's called.
When Katrina Anderson's son was born in the summer, she already knew she'd be waiting a year to send him to kindergarten. Now that Asher is 5, she says she made the right decision. "Knowing my own child and seeing the way that he has developed, I felt he would be more confident and more socially well-adjusted if he was a little older." Anderson said. Her dilemma is shared by parents all over the country whose children have late-summer birthdays. Should they start kindergarten? Or "redshirt" them, as it's called. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 9 percent of kindergartener are redshirted, or delayed a year behind when they are eligible to start. Anecdotally, most of those are boys. Anderson made her decision based on mother's instinct. But for her husband, Macolm Gladwell's book "Outliers" came into play. Gladwell's research looks at the birth dates of professional hockey players from Canada, hypothesizing that hockey players closer to the league cut-off deadline - the oldest in the league - have an advantage over their peers because of their birthday and end up in the NHL. "When a child is older they then get the advantages of being a little more developmentally ahead, and those advantages accumulate over the years," Anderson said. Academic studies present mixed results on the issue. A 2011 report by Kelly Bedard and Elizabeth Dhuey say that children who are older than their classmates get better grades, more leadership roles and go to better colleges. However, in other reports, it was the younger children who did better, perhaps suggesting they learned to work harder to catch up. Sam Wang and Sandra Aamodt, authors of "Welcome to your Child's Brain: How the Mind Grows from Conception to College" wrote in the New York Times that redshirting can be counterproductive to the goal that parents have for their children. They say parents should instead ask, "What approach gives children the greatest opportunity to learn?" Principal of Highland Park Elementary Shelley Halverson believes those opportunities can happen in kindergarten, and that pre-K evaluations help the school identify how to best help the child. "I haven't seen redshirting work in an academic perspective," she said. "You don't walk into third grade and go, 'Oh, that kid started later and that kid started early.' It shakes out pretty quickly." Halverson recommends that parents involve the school in their decision and bring the child in for a pre-kindergarten evaluation at the start times set by the school district. If signs indicate the child should wait a year to start, then they will look into it. Former kindergarten teacher and clinical instructor John Funk is an advocate for redshirting. He redshirted his second son after his first son faced difficulties growing up. He advocates focusing on the individual and says that parents know their child best. "There's so many factors, I don't know how they can credibly say that it always evens out because I think every child is different," he said. Funk is careful to specify that redshirting is not the solution for a child with a learning disability. If a child is exhibiting signs of a learning disability, parents should consult their doctor and school on the best procedure. Instead, redshirting might be a possibility for children who don't currently match their peers to take a year off and grow. "If they don't seem to be making the advancements that most kids that age do, they are not speaking in good sentences or vocabulary, if you can't get their attention to read a story to them, so their attention seems to not be what that of another 4-year-old might be," Funk said of the signs to look for. For Jenny Olsen, mother of 18-year-old Michael, waiting to start was a decision she made with athletics in mind. She is happy how it worked out, but doesn't advise it for every parent. "Academically he's ahead, socially he's ahead. He's very mature for his age," Olsen said. "I do think being a little bit older gave him more confidence." And for Katrina Anderson, that slight edge is all she's looking for to help ensure her son, Asher, gets a good start in school. "A lot of times, one year one way or another may not make that big a difference in the long run, but I felt like this was a little bit of advantage I could give him," she said.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D148994%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

A few days ago I got one of my favorite kinds of e-mails. A woman in Israel contacted me because she had discovered the Kehilalink that I had built for Dunilovichi. On the site she had found the tombstone of her great-great grandfather."Who are you?" she asked. "And do you have more on these names"?
Dunilovichi is a shtetl in Belarus that is about 75 miles outside of Vilnius. It is the town from which my grandmother and great-grandparents came. In 2009 I visited it when I was in Vilnius. Upon my return I built a Kehilalink on the town, a website for Jewishgen.org, as my volunteer effort for people who were researching family from there. When I was researching the town prior to my visit I had connected with a woman who had a transcription of the cemetery and photos of the tombstones that enabled me to locate my great-great grandfather's tombstone. She gave me permission to include the tombstones on the site and to submit them to the Jewish On-line Worldwide Burial Registry.
Building Kehilalinks is a wonderful activity for those of us who have already progressed pretty far in our own research, but aren't quite ready to relinquish the search. Jewishgen.org offers an on-line class to learn how to construct them which doesn't require a high level of technical expertise. I've found the knowledge quite useful in building out my art website as well.
When I can assist someone in finding their family member, it reminds me of why I do this. I then took her question about whether I had more on her names to heart. I had created several finding aids on the Kehilalink. I have a tab titled Family Names and I went there to see if her name was listed anywhere else. There I have a link that lists out who lived in the town in 1939. There were two entries with her family name. But were they hers? I returned to her family tombstone for more information. There I noted that her great-great grandfather who died in 1918 was named Ben-Zion and his father was Dan. One of the 1939 residents with her family name was also named Dan, quite likely the son of Ben-Zion. Ashkenazic Jews name their children after a deceased grandparent or great-grandparent so it is likely that this person was a family member.
Also on the Family Names tab is an index that I built for the cemetery, immigration records, Yad Vashem and the 1850 census. I had taken each name and identified if it was found in one of those sources and the spelling as there were frequently several variants. From the index I saw that her family name showed up in the immigration tab and a quick search for the record on stevemorse.org informed me that his nearest relative in Europe was his father Dan and he was going to his brother Barnett in Chicago. Hmm, the pieces are beginning to connect. I sent her an e-mail asking if she was familiar with this person and she returned a scan of a scrap of paper with his name that she found in her father's papers, but indicated she knew nothing more about him.
A few searches on Ancestry.com led me to the 1920 and 1930 census and the naturalization record. As I expected the young man had named his son Benjamin after his son's great-grandfather who had died just four years earlier. A little good fortune also awaited. It appeared that someone had a family tree on Ancestry which indicated living relatives as well. The woman who contacted me will likely be able to expand her family tree in both directions, discovering a great-great grandfather and the name of her ggg grandfather as well as living relatives in the United States.

Apple has been No.1 for the last five years, while Google has held the No. 2 spot for the last three years, Fortune reported. Rounding out the top five: Amazon.com was No. 3, Coca-Cola No. 4 and IBM No.5.
Other tech companies were rated: Microsoft (No. 17), Intel ( No. 36), eBay (No. 41) and Cisco Systems (No. 42). Strangely, some investment banks (Goldman Sachs was rated No. 39) were rated higher than several tech companies, which goes to show you that Fortune readers still admire companies that sank our nation into an economic downturn. However, Fortune readers really dislike Sears Holdings, Burger King.and the U.S. Postal Service, and all were voted as the least financially sound.
U.S. & World
It's no surprise that Apple topped the list, especially with news coming out that the tech company is sitting on a pile of cash after decades of hoarding by co-founder Steve Jobs. Google's position, although not with such a large cash pile, is similarly favorable. Both companies are definitely profitable, create user-friendly tech innovations and are on the scenic West Coast -- what's not to like?

Q: The temperatures are rising, so when do I start using my ClearPAC PLUS?
Sharon – Waynesboro, GA
A: Inside your ClearPAC® PLUS box, you'll find everything you need to keep your lake clean and clear this spring and summer. The five components, when used as directed, address the root of the most common pond problems by tackling excess nutrients and shielding the water from algae-feeding sunlight.
When should you start using ClearPAC® PLUS? It all depends on your water temperature. Let's take a closer look at when and how to best use the products in your super-pack.
- Pond Dye: As soon as the ice melts on your pond or lake, add your Nature's Blue™ Pond Dye. The dye is not temperature-sensitive so it can be used even when water temps are too cold for beneficial bacteria products. Pond Dye does more than color your water and add to your landscape's aesthetic; it also shades it from sunlight, which can kick-start algae blooms as the mercury rises.
- PondClear™ and MuckAway™: When water temperatures rise to a consistent 50°F, you can start using the beneficial bacteria found in PondClear™ and MuckAway™ to break down nutrients suspended in your water column and muck on the bottom of your pond. These products can be used at the same time as your Pond Dye and EcoBoost™.
- EcoBoost™: This bacteria booster that has no temperature restrictions, so it can be used year-round to bind phosphates that find their way into your pond or lake. You can use EcoBoost™ throughout the spring to give you a head start on pond season.
- Algae Defense® : To be used only as needed, this algae-destroyer treats troublesome floating filamentous algae, bottom growing chara and the planktonic algae when it's green and growing. Use Algae Defense® when the water temperature in your pond or lake is above 60°F. Don't use Algae Defense® if you keep koi or trout in your lake.
After treating your pond with ClearPAC® PLUS, don't forget to remove dead algae and debris with your Pond & Beach Rake. Doing so will remove the decaying vegetation and prevent them from feeding the algae—which will ultimately help your Pond Dye, PondClear™, MuckAway™, EcoBoost™ and Algae Defense® work even better!

This month, the Northern Ireland Year of Food and Drink 2016 is celebrating all things local and Tourism Northern Ireland is asking everyone in NI to take things one step further, by writing a fun poem inspired by our local food and drink.
One of the world's best-known poets is also from Northern Ireland, Seamus Heaney, and he often wrote about the food he encountered. In Digging, he talks about potatoes and in Blackberry Picking, he said fondly, "You ate that first one and its flesh was sweet / Like thickened wine: summer's blood was in it".
There are literary tours dedicated to him, like the Seamus Heaney Tours and Bellaghy Bawn, and a guest house, Laurel Villa in Magherafelt, which is just 3 miles from his birthplace, where you can stay in rooms named after other great NI poets - MacNeice, Kavanagh and Longley.
"We want people to have a bit of rhyming fun," said Rachel Quigg, Communications and Destination PR Officer. "We have so many tremendous local brands in Northern Ireland like Bushmills, Tayto, Abernethey Butter, Armagh Cider, I could go on, that people can use as inspiration for their poems.
"Not only that, some of the world's best-known writers are from Northern Ireland, like CS Lewis and John Hewitt, so what better way of celebrating our food and literary history than combining the two in a poetry competition."
Tourism Northern Ireland has supplied a number of different ways for you to upload your creative and fun poems – via social media using hashtag #OdetoFood, email to email@example.com or post on Facebook tagging @discovernorthernireland by Monday 29 February. The best poem will win one night's bed and breakfast in stunning, Laurel Villa boutique guest house in Magherafelt for two people and entry for two on the Seamus Heaney Tour.
Rachel continued: "You might write a poem in four lines or a couple of paragraphs – as long as it's inspired by our local food and drinks it's a contender. We would like to encourage entries from children, as well as adults, and remember everyone to please keep them clean."
To get things started, Tourism Northern Ireland have got into the spirit of things by coming up with their very own food-themed rhyme –
There was a young man from Newtownabreda,
Who was partial to a piece of toasted Veda,
He loved honey and cheese,
And a big feed of peas,
Potato bread, sausages and soda!

Art History: Faith Ringgold Paper Quilts
We made paper quilts
with fabric and wrapping paper scrap borders
for our
Art in the Schools Lesson on the artist
Faith Ringgold
(You can check out Ms.Ringgold's blog here!)
Our lesson was inspired by her
We started the lesson by asking each child
(in grades Kindergarten through 6th)
to trace a 1 inch border around a piece of paper
(like a picture frame).
Then we asked them to write a sentence
inside the frame,
"I would like to fly over...... because....."
and draw a picture of themselves
flying over that place.
Then, they glued fabric, paper, and
gift wrap scraps around the border
and we glued all of the class
quilt squares to colorful fadeless paper
for a FANTASTIC hallway display
in the Elementary School.
(alas...I did not have my camera
so these photos were all taken with my phone
and don't do them justice!)
I'll let the kid's work speak for itself.
"I would like to fly over the sunset to see all of the colors. "
"I would like to fly over our planet because
I would like to see a hurricane"
"I would like to fly over Florida because
I would like to see Disney World"
"I would like to fly over Disney World to see Space Mountain"
" I would like to fly over the moon because
I am the cow's follower."
"I would like to fly over space"
"I would like to fly over the world because
I would like to see all of the Oceans and the clouds"
Kindergarten quilts without sentences...
love the bright colors!
Happy (paper) Quilting!

Durham plated two unearned runs in the top of the 10th inning, sending Norfolk to a 3-1 loss Sunday afternoon at Harbor Park.
With the score tied 1-1, Henry Wrigley opened up the 10th frame with a grounder to third base, but Miguel Tejada short-hopped his throw into the dugout, allowing Wrigley to advance to second. One out later, Reid Brignac plated pinch-runner Shawn O'Malley with a single to right off of Jon Link (0-2), giving the Bulls the lead. Former Tide Jeff Salazar later added a single to left-center to plate Brignac, extending Durham's lead to 3-1.
Norfolk starter Jason Berken was extremely effective, but once again was left searching for his first victory of 2012. Berken, who entered the contest ranked 6th in the IL with a 2.50 ERA, allowed three hits and two walks while striking out five in seven shutout innings, lowering his ERA to 2.12.
Sunday was the third time this season that Berken left a game with a lead, only to see the opponents rally against Norfolk's bullpen.
The Tides scored their only run of the contest in the seventh inning, as Joe Mahoney led off the frame with a walk and scored on a two-out triple by Blake Davis.
Tejada finished 1-for-3 and was hit by a pitch in the contest, and he's now hitting .375 in seven games since joining Norfolk.
Hideki Matsui had a single in four plate appearances for the Bulls.
The Tides travel to Pawtucket on Monday to start a four-game set with the Red Sox. Zach Clark will be making his first start for Norfolk since being promoted from Double-A Bowie, and he'll be opposed by right-hander Doug Mathis (3-2, 4.23). First pitch is slated for 4:05.

Iowa Preview
Tomorrow night, the IZOD IndyCar Series will stage one of the races that I vow to go to someday soon. The Iowa Corn 250 at Iowa Speedway harkens back to the days of short track racing, to which there is an art form. Iowa Speedway is the shortest track on the series calendar, measuring at seven-eighths of a mile. Although most consider short-track oval racing to be the domain of American racers, when Marco Andretti won last year's race at Iowa – he was the first American to win the event since it began in 2007. Other winners were Dario Franchitti (twice), Dan Wheldon and Tony Kanaan.
Some of the earlier races at Iowa were not that memorable, but the last two or three have been very good races – especially last year's edition when Marco Andretti held off Tony Kanaan in a very exciting and memorable battle. The way the new DW12 has raced on ovals so far this season, I expect tomorrow night's race to be just as good.
Qualifying will be interesting this year at Iowa. Rather than running two qualifying laps; one at a time – there will be three 30-lap heat races based on practice times. The first two heat races will feature drivers with practice speeds that were slower than the eighth quickest time. Each of those races will split the even and odd-numbered positions. Then the drivers that were the eight quickest in practice will race for the pole. Unfortunately, the winners of the first two races don't transfer to the "main event", so the best they can hope to start the race is ninth and tenth respectively.
I have mixed emotions regarding this qualifying format. On one hand, I credit INDYCAR for trying something new to spice up qualifying for the fans. On the other hand, it seems slightly gimmicky and it presents potential for tearing up some race cars. Overall however, I credit INDYCAR for giving it a try and I'm looking forward to it. Of course, none of it will be televised by NBC Sports Network until a day later just before the race.
Now that Chevrolet has gotten back into the game, hopefully the talk of "turbogate" will subside. At Milwaukee last week, Chevy dominated – winning the race and placing eight cars into the top-ten. It was predicted that the single turbocharger that Honda employs would be better on tracks with long straightaways, while the twin-turbo Chevy would perform better when quick acceleration is key. This has played out so far and may work to Chevy's advantage. Although other than the short distance, Iowa's banked turns bear little resemblance to Milwaukee's flat paperclip design – so I'm not sure what to expect.
What I do expect is a great race. I just hope that with a 10:00 Eastern starting time, there are enough people still watching it. I know TV dictates starting times, but I question the logic behind this move. I'm fortunate enough to live in the central time zone, but with movers coming to my house at 8:30 the next morning, this isn't just real convenient for me either.
My pick for last week came close but not close enough – Tony Kanaan finished second. I think I will go with the driver who is quietly putting together an outstanding season. He will give Andretti Autosport their third win in a row at this track and their fourth overall. He is the only driver on the team without a win, but that will change tomorrow night. It's time for James Hinchcliffe to win his first race and finally give Go-Daddy their long awaited first win as well.
George Phillips
Please Note: As mentioned several times over the last couple of weeks, I'm in the process of moving after being in the same house for ten-plus years. My movers are scheduled to come at 8:30 Sunday morning and Sunday night will be my first night living at the new place. I would like to think I'll have time to do my usual "Random Thoughts" on tomorrow's race, but I can't promise it. I may not even be able to find my computer or carve out enough time to pound something out. Whether I do or not, please bear with me over the next few days until I get somewhat settled. Thanks. – GP

I'd like to see Hinchcliffe win this one. He's capable and it would throw the series championship points battle into a nail-biter.
It would be a nail-biter for the one week off until Will Power wins 4 (or 5) of the next 5 (or 6) road/street races.
Good luck on that!
Chevy dominance may be nothing more than having 3 of the 4 best teams. Honda just doesnt have the teams behind it.
"Love in the central time zone" – I live it!
These Saturday races are tough on those of us who support the local short track, but like the heat races, they're great for the fans in person. It seems to be a good way to get fans out to an oval, at least.
I am that I'll be able to tape this one, and with the late start and long broadcast window, I may be home in time to watch the Indy Lights race.
The twisty qualifications are much more fun than oval (excepting Indy), so maybe this will add to the fan's entertainment value. 30 laps seems too long–maybe 15 or 20. And the winners should advance just like the "Fast Six." But we'll see. I'm sure drivers are complaining about heat races because a week without drivers complaining is like a week without sunshine. That's too late to start a race, but apparently that's NBC so what can you do?
Sorry to reply to myself, but right after writing that comment I turned to the Indy Star and Cavin writes about how the driver's don't like starting on the straightaway and want it moved back to the third turn. They're stating it's because of safety and cars in the back getting an advantage and Barfields probably gonna do it so I probably won't worry about watching any race this weekend, because I'm sorta freakin' tired of all the whining.
Geez George its not like we eastern timers go to bed at 8PM, much like you folks in the CTZ… What happened, did you contract nacolepsy during this move..????
I agree with Redcar, I am so tired of these drivers whining where the restart should be. They are now whining that because they knew where the leaders had to start on the straightaway, they could lay back and jump the leaders, so now they want the start moved back…..I guess they do not know where "that" start will take place? Yeah right! Drivers in the rear have jumped starts for years. It will continue when it gets moved back too. There is no pleasing these guys, let's hope Barfield keeps to his initial thoughts early in the year and controls the field with the Pace Car. And the wave off of a restart was great last week because Helio jumped it big time…..what we do not know is if that drew a warning from Race Control? …..OUT!!

My great grandmother (photographer unknown)
For fourteen years I worked as a volunteer librarian at a local Genealogy Library. During that time I managed to accumulate enough knowledge to assist my own research and that of others. Nevertheless, I consider that knowledge to be nothing more than the tip of the iceberg. Based upon that limited knowledge together with personal experiences and the experiences of others I offer the following hints for those who are anxious to trace their roots.
Getting Started
Find a good size box and start throwing in everything containing family related information which you can locate from your own family plus copies from relatives. This would include family photos, family bibles, birth & marriage certificates, obituaries, wills, apprenticeship indentures, family related newspaper articles, etc. Begin by making a pedigree chart with the youngest member of the family as number one on the chart, then place the parents, grandparents, etc. as far back as you have information. Remember when placing individuals on a pedigree chart that even numbers are male while odd numbers are female except for the first individual on the chart which can be male or female. Take each couple on the pedigree chart and make a family group sheet which lists all of the children of that couple (further down this page you will find PDF files for printing blank pedigree charts and family group sheets - download these files and you can print your own blank charts). Continue as far back as you have information for. When you trace your lines back as far as you can, it is time to do new research to extend them further.
Sources of Information for Genealogical Research:

Use appropriate response mechanisms. Paper forms have the disadvantage that users can miss, or simply disregard, an instruction. For example, only tick/check one box from a list of 15 or 20 options. In this context interactive forms can be programmed so that the user can only tick/check one (known as a radio button as distinct from check-boxes), or presented with the options in a drop-down menu from which the user can only select one.
When designing forms make sure the response mechanism is appropriate to each question. Having gone to all the trouble of filling in your form, the least you can do is provide users with information about what happens next. Customer communication is key, and since you have made the form so easy to fill in and return, processing it could also be a breeze!
