Since he is 17, I assume he will be going to GBN. He is already the talk of the GBN student body. Not knowing anything about him, I consulted the only reliable source, Wikipedia, to get more information on my new town-mate. The Wikipedia description read like a greek novel, filled with names and stories I was sure were made up. While in Florida, my kids and college-aged nieces all educated me on what a Big Deal the people described in the Wikipedia entry are. Anyway, I learned some stuff about rappers in the process, and when I saw Brad’s reference to Lupe Fiasco (one of the names I thought was made up!), I could not resist the chance to flex my new-found knowledge and street cred. By the way, Giselle assures me that one of Chief Keef’s songs is listed at #70 in I-Tunes. You just cannot make this stuff up!!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> announce-bounces@usml.net [mailto:announce-bounces@usml.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jeff Winick<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, January 21, 2013 5:52 PM<br><b>To:</b> USML Announcements<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [USML Announce] Notice of Hot Wax: First Deal Of2013--IanIsBelievin'<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>No Chief Keef is not on staff.
