"West Philly G" is obvious homage to Amy Gutmann. "From the Block to the Yacht" is a heartrending testimonial as to how Penn and UCD have made "da Hood" cleaner and safer. It presents Amy in a cameo, dishing on how she found Freck Billionaire selling crack on 56th and Thompson and turned that boy into a star. The rap "I Cook It" testifies as to how Freck left a life of crime to cook hamburgers in the local Mickey D. Very tear-jerking stuff.
Favorite line: [deleted] -- "That's a metaphor for when she get her dope on" Dude went to Overbrook High, same joint as Will Smith. Why he knows words like "metaphor." On 6/18/07, Kyle Cassidy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I was trolling around youtube this weekend and found a video by our very own Frek Billionare called "West Philly G" -- I'd print the lyrics, but Bender would have a heart attack. It's the number one hit for "west philly" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLsW3cxlqNI There's also a little bio/doccumentary/promo that has scenes of west philly for Freck called "From the Block to the Yacht": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0m8RuB14A8&mode=related&search= Meanwhile searching for "university city" comes back with what IMHO, is actually a more impressive musical offering: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX7f3LbARac In any event -- there's creativity bubbling up all around us. kc ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
