John Y’s Musings from the Middle: “Know That”

“I know it is going to be a good day when….(fill in the blank with what the tip odf is for you).

Me?

It’s when driving to work I nail lip-synching Mos Def’s “Know That” from the album Black on Both Sides. And when I nail both Mos Def’s AND Talib Kweli’s part –like I did this morning….well, step aside son.

Anything is possible for me.

There  is nothing I can’t lip-sync.

That is until I get …to the office and  am waiting at the elevator. Then I start to question the correlation between my illest hip-hop impersonations and having a successful day at work. But I smile to myself because I know deep down if free styling hip-hop is required, I won’t have any trouble taking down the other 4 guys on the elevator with brief cases.

I  “Know That!” It’s going to be a good day!
