Rising above Phuket

Transcending the madness of day-to-day existence with the spiritual equipoise of a buddha. From the headline: World's Largest Buddha Rises Above Phuket.

"I'd like to recommend Johnson for the project, since it is fraught with organizational difficulty, and he is constantly rising above Phuket ."

Above The Law

One of the dopest, rawest hip-hop groups from the West Coast, specifically Pamona, CA, with members Cold187um, Laylaw, KMG the Illustrator, Go Mack, and DJ Total K-Oss. ATL is also one of the most slept-on hip-hop artists ever, but only the fans seem to realize this. Contrasting with the hard, street beats of fellow group N.W.A, Above The Law selected funkier, smoother jams for the streets, tapping talent from Cold187um's formal training as a musician. One of the originators of the G-funk genre of music. First signed onto Ruthless Records by Eazy-E in 1989, they made a smash of a debut album "Livin' Like Hustlers," which went on to sell at least 1,000,000 copies and was certified platinum by the RIAA. Their next three albums, also released by Ruthless Records, also sold well, with two more golds and a platinum. All of the members are still around today, apart from KMG, and they still make music occasionally. Cold187um has a number of solo efforts as well. You likely will not see a biopic about these guys, but the whole hip-hop community owes a great deal to them for their work and influence.

Yeah, Above The Law is so damn underrated. If only Dr. Dre had given them credit for G-funk...

Man 1: "Did you hear Tony's out of the pokey and he's already back on the sauce?"

Man 2: "Yeah the bastard called me, but when I went to walk in and smelled the stench, I wasn't about to hang out at that step above a cardboard box."

2)
Bum 1: "I'm finally off these filthy streets."

Bum 2: (sarcastically) "Listen to Richie Rich over here. 'I'm so special. I'm living in a step above a cardboard box.' Oooh. Well I guess you're better than me now, aren't ya?"
