Buy your way in

One thing I love about this city is that, if the stuff hits the fan, you can quite literally buy your way into anywhere you want to go because the exchange rate is so great. Tonight, me and a buddy got stopped outside a door about 30 min. before a place was set to close. They said forget it, you can't come in because we're about to shut down, so we said, hold on - how about R50 to let us BOTH in? Immediately bit. For the two of us combined, R50 is literally about $2 a person, or maybe less since my bud is from Ireland. I love this city so much, you can buy your way out of - or into - any situation. But it means so much more when you can buy your way into a great club at 3:30am in the morning when the place is shutting down for $2 and not care. I feel like I own this town.

P.S. Since no one plays rap in this city, which i love, what's the best rap song ever? I say it's a toss-up between 2Pac's "How do you want it" and Wu-Tang's "C.R.E.A.M." with an edge to the Wu. Best instrumental ever for a rap song, period. Liquid Swords also deserves some buzz.

Could I be any whiter? No, but whatever, I love rap and you're racist for suggesting it ;)

"I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells
Now come aboard, it's Medina bound
Into the chamber, and it's a whole different sound
It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel
So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels"
