favorite artwork |

|

biggest surprise |

musicwise I'd say a group out of Seattle called Blue Scholars |
| - |
outside of music everything was too predictable |
|

what I'd like to see in 2005 |
| - |
everybody calming down about what's dividing us and realizing that politics aren't the begin and end all |
| - |
I'd like to see people use their brain instead of following a movement in music and to stop hating others because of insecurities |
|
| · |
what I don't want to see in 2005 |
| - |
the apocalypse |
| - |
Dipset fever |
| - |
the supreme court banning sampling |
| - |
my other favorite rappers falling off |
|

hip hop in 2005 will be... |
| continue to get better and better while people will say that it's getting worse and worse |
|

my new years resolutions |
| - |
release my CD's |
| - |
break down new music barriers |
| - |
continue to be positive |
| - |
finish college |
| - |
eat a big hoagie |
| - |
beat Grand Theft Auto |
| - |
be a good person to those around me |
|
