It’s Brissmas!

onI’d like to thank Jim Jones once more for contributing to the Christmas music canon.
Jones’ “Dipset Christmas Time” might beat out Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” and Run-DMC’s “Christmas In Hollis” for my favorite Xmas jumpoff. As an album though, i gotta admit Dipset Xmas is no Christmas on Death Row.
In particular, the title track’s 2nd verse (from newcomer Mel Matrix) gives an oft neglected holidays perspective- that of a Harlem Blood enjoying the finer things in life.
Brissmas time, everybody jolly (where da bottles at?)
feelin’ good, e’ybody wanna polly (what’s good, homie?)
get ya flag on, red rags out (soo-wooo!)
feelin’ good, pull the red Jags out (gettin’ money!)hit the club, buy the bar out
where the dutches out?
get the jars out (let’s get high, blood!)and we could one-two step
throw your gang up
what hood you rep (9-Tres!)
and everybody spaz out
get blowed homie til you fuckin’ pass out
it’s Brissmas
Don’t let his natural aversion to the letter ‘C’ perturb you- but I can’t help but have a hearty bowl-full-of-jelly belly laugh at his rechristening Jesus’ birthday ‘Brissmas’…considering the meaning of ‘briss’. Maybe Ol Mel was referring to this.

I've seen three slog posts over the past week or so using a lower case "I" in their post, and I've never noticed this trend before. Is this some new thing?
When you have a wireless keyboard(bluetooth) it is. Typing away and nothing showing till the last word of your sentence sucks too. Constantly trying to get the shift key to read while your typing away is a real bummer. Its still an i or I and besides the little i needs some love to. LMAO LOL BFD code etc. It is computer age and theirs no real english to computer code or programming if i'm correct. learn some tolerance.
That should be "there's" not "theirs" and I don't believe typing counts as either code or programming. If you're gonna be a writer, use your grammar, Stranger!
