Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a horrible act, but it is one instance where the double standard works in a woman's favor. You see, it's never funny when a dude halls off and hits a woman, but if a girl winds up a connects on a dude, it's instantly hilarious. So you might ask why in the world is the the topic today....??? Well, I was trying to check on this up and coming hip hop artist Charles Hamilton, who I've been feeling ever since I first heard the single BROOKLYN GIRLS. Since he doesn't get many spins on the west coast, I often try and search for any new stuff he's put out online. Though the dude has skills, he's been getting bombed over the internet for stealing beats and an incident of domestic violence. But he hasn't put his hands on anyone. He got straight popped in the jaw for getting a little too personal in a rhyme battle. See video below -

I almost swallowed my gum when I was watching this (especially the slow-mo shot). Then I thought back to a time when I too got stole on by and girl and everyone laughed.

I was in the 9th grade and Nadia Martinez (yes I'm putting your name out there) was walking down the aisle in my english class. My elbow grazed against her stomach (she was like 7 months pregnant.... yes in the 9th grade) and she turned and yelled, "M@*#er F@*#ker you hit my stomach!" She cocked back and snuck me with a right cross in my left eye. So what the hell was I supposed to do? Her boyfriend was in the class, she's was a girl, and she was pregnant. So I had to take it like a champ (or chump) and just say the I was sorry. They just sent her to the office, while I had to finish the class pretending not to hear the snickers and the whispers of "DAAAAAAAAMN!"

What makes this story even more interesting is this girl was MY girlfriend the year before all this happened (and NO, the baby was not mine as I wasn't getting down like that in the 8th grade). Later on that year in the same class I got into an situation with another girl who later asked me to the prom. AND I THOUGHT IT WAS LITTLE BOYS WHO TRIED TO FIGHT GIRLS THEY LIKED!!?!!

Anyway, the point is that I feel Charles Hamilton's pain... but that doesn't keep me from laughing at him for getting stole on for running his mouth. Best believe as soon as the bell rang someone ran into the hall and yelled, "Nadia whooped DeRonnie's ass in class, yall!!"

So if you end up in this same situation your best course of action is just to turn the other cheek, call some of your girl cousins, and tell them that if they don't get her back for you that you are gonna tell their mom about those dudes they had over while she was out of town (that's purely hypothetical). If your assailant is preggo like mine was, then you just gotta chalk it up as a loss.

Despite being hit for no reason, I do believe that I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't think that she won't hit you, just cause you're a dude. Ask John Bobbitt if he doesn't wish he hadn't underestimated his wife (and people laughed at that, didn't they).

Now I'm not saying that it should be funny when dudes go off on women. I'm just saying, ladies... y'all got this one. So to all the ladies that read this... if you ever have the urge to punch a dude, put on this mix and it might put you over the top. PUNCH HIM MIX
