The Exchange 010 | No Sleep Til Brooklyn

In honor of my move to NYC, eyejammy suggested this week’s theme: The Exchange 010 | No Sleep Til Brooklyn.

I haven’t found a place yet, but I’ve been getting threats about if I end up choosing Harlem over Brooklyn. Don’t get me wrong, I love the BK, and it’s my first option. Ok, ok.. it’s my 2nd option.. obviously I’d live in Manhattan Proper if I could afford it. But beyond that, I’d much rather live in Brooklyn than Harlem. It’s just the thought of the commute that keeps me wavering. Not to mention a commute during winter, which could easily be the death of this Florida girl. I also keep hearing that Queens is actually the best spot for a quick commute to Midtown. Let me tell you folks: Not. Gonna. Happen.

Without further adieu, this week’s track listing:

Panama | Brooklyn Zoo - Ol Dirty Bastard
Cye | Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers - Chubb Rock, OC, Jeru The Damaja
OJ | Jockin’ Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh) - Jay-Z
Eyejammy | We Live In Brooklyn, Baby - Roy Ayers
Ouxu | BK Anthem - Foxy Brown
Jen | Brooklyn Sky - Digable Planets
BK | Brooklyn - Mos Def
Sam | Murda, Murda - Jay-Z feat. Memphis Bleek & Geda K
Liz | Hello Brooklyn - Jay-Z feat. Lil Wayne
George | The Boogie Man Song - Mos Def
Marcia | The Stoop - Little Jackie

Dear iPhone Smart Keyboard

openletters:

Quit being such a prude. You can’t possibly think I want to type the word “ducking” that often, so stop correcting me already.

Profanity is a fact of life.

Sincerely,
saramcpherson

I’ve been complaining about this for weeks now. Alternately, I don’t want to type “fuching” either. What does that even mean?
