5:03 AM

Y'all see the pic...if you've read the last 5:03, you already know.... drinkin out of nothin but coffee mugs from now on! haha... drinks taste so much better...

So i just finished my lil summer session, taking some classes to get ready to graduate soon...apologies for another blog hiatus...back to my regularly scheduled program fairly soon. once again, preciate all y'all still checkin for me

...oh, and don't worry what's in my mug... "IT'S MY MUG. FUCK YOU." (Lil Wayne voice, hahahaha)

I can't be there with you......but i can dream

Clearly some of y'all didn't read my last 5:03 and get the messages... oh well

Shout-out to my friend Mike Posner killin Warped Tour right now...make sure you support him on August 10 when his debut album drops.

When did trying to act grown be so cool? keyword: trying. Especially when there's some of y'all out here that need to live they got damn lives before talkin about shit....sit yo dumbass down

Beautiful women with fuck up mindstates....pretty much describes 98% of the women i come around.

I'm different. I cant base what i'm going to be off of what everybody isn't....marinate on that.

It's interesting when you see people that have the perception that their moves are not seen, especially the little conniving, slimy ass moves that are super visible to me

I'm startin to see people distance themselves...it's crazy...people I consider....well, use to consider close, family, etc. lowkey got their backs turned right now. but seriously, I can't even be mad. it's just a punch that you have to roll with whether you like it or not.

Rick Ross beat selection is impeccable...watch his latest shit be considered "timeless" in a couple.

"the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to mistrust, now it gets tough for you to love again"

still, always....Lawn cut low, I see you snakes in the grass

Crazy when you're goin through shit, but you gotta save face due to an image that you feel you have to convey a certain type of image and message to everybody. We all go through some tough shit at times...if you haven't, then you must not be livin life......and it may get deep at times. At some points however, I wish I could just say 'Fuck It' and let everybody know, but then that self-consciousness that we hall have kicks in. *sigh* oh well, we go through these phases and stages...it all depends on how you can adapt and react.

out of all the people releasin on September 14th, Big Sean is gonna be the winner out of that group...watch.

lemme get this nap in...y'all be cool. i'm out.

5:03 AM

was kinda surprised but mad appreciative of the love I got on the last one of these...I try my best to correctly articulate what I'm thinking...it gets hard at times though.

So last night/morning was a big storm, and I couldn't help but thinkin it would be cool to have somethin spicy with me at that moment... le sigh, oh well

^like I literally lost sleep just staying awake listening to the rain drops, seeing the lightning out the corner of my eye, and hearing the thunder seconds later... a bunch of tranquility that this storm was bringin...shit was crazy. Made me think about mad shit...life, relationships, business, etc...just wild shit...the Four Loko helped out too, haha

i'm listening to "College Dropout" and "Late Registration" while typing this by the way this morning...got me zonin

I appreciate when people that are genuinely close to me in my life call to see how i'm doing or want to have a conversation. However, It's funny (a.k.a. not funny at all) when people that aren't close to me (in some cases, the ones to whom I gave them my contact out on some fluke shit) hit me up randomly to have conversations just to say they had a conversation with you... like are you really trying to see how I'm doing or just talkin to me because it's aesthetically pleasing?

Why do drinks taste better when you're drinking out of coffee mug? I have a feeling that I'm gonna be one of those niggas that's gonna have a house with no drinking glasses....just mugs, haha.

Honestly, I don't do bullshit conversations anymore...it's all beginning to become unnecessary...and I see so many of y'all doin it. from the phone to text to skype to bbm... why? what does it accomplish? you can miss me with all that.

I need some vintage Pistons gear in my life.

Spicy ladies in Court Forces is sexy to me

Which is why I wanna say that if it seems I'm being short with some of y'all, please do not mind me. Sometimes I feel like I really don't need to communicate at times...i dunno. Some of y'all are full of shit and me realizing that is not only an eye opener, but unfortunate for many in some cases.

The musicality in Kanye's song "Slow Jamz" is something that's really amazing... put some headphones on and really listen to it...you'll see what i'm saying.

I know too many people that keep too many squares in their circle. That shit is fuckin up your reputation...tighten up dumb fucks.

CAN ALL OF YOU STOP TRYING TO BE MTV TJ's?!?! YOUR TASTE IN MUSIC IS TERRIBLE AND MOST OF YOU WON'T BE SHIT IN LIFE BUT SOME 9 to 5ers (Edit: no diss to anyone with a 9 to 5 job... just dissing the conceptual box and comfortability (that's not even a fuckin word, haha) that the 9 to 5 can put one in)...let me be honest with everybody...Hustle Simmons and Emilio Sparks are some of the only people that actually have a chance to actually win.

I'm done helping y'all that don't help me...DONE. All that "lookin out" shit is over.

It's crazy when some of y'all don't listen to me when I try to tell some of you what's gonna put you in a better position of strength. being stubborn is no longer an excuse. y'all just stupid as hell.

LADIES: Sex And The City has fucked your minds up and shit thinkin that lady Sarah Jessica Parker is pretty. She looks like Seabiscuit.

Would Harry Potter be as big as it is if Harry Potter was black? Just wondering.....fuck it's 5:03, I'm writing whatever the fuck I think....per usual.

I think I'm gonna get rid of some of these outlets where I can be contacts....I'm starting to feel "too reachable" at times.

So Drake's album leaked a couple weeks ago...and I've been listening to it...and I gotta say that shit is cold. 95% of you lames sayin his shit was wack or "had too much singing/R&B in it" don't fuckin buy albums anyways. You know who does??? All those people that are buying his album like that shit.

Katy Perry is becoming cold to me...that is all.

ONE MORE TO THE LADIES: why are some of y'all on these social media networks talkin all these "I need a man/I'm single" shit when y'all really got boyfriends??? You hoes look stupid.

I'am leave you all with one more jewel on this 5:03: many of you all don't realize that who you ally yourself with now is fuckin up your future money. let that circulate. i'm gone

5:03 AM / BACK FROM HIATUS.

it's been a while. Good to actually be back. mad ideas to try and get out right now it's crazy. So many positive emotions and feelings to try and articulate through this outlet called "blogging." However, can I talk my shit again? I'm at that point where it's been building up and building up and building up. it's time...if you aren't ready for my word, I suggest you stop reading this and go to one of those other fuckboyblogs you read that posts the same shit as everyone else.

SO many of the believers of this blog and what I write have been asking me for the past month something that basically entails "Cliff, whatupdoe? No updates on the blog in a month. you're just on twitter tweeting, ain't taumbot shit. you forgot about your blog nigga? Fuck you doin? Bullshittin!"

hahaha. My Answer to that: figuring things out...I had to provide a vague answer because so many things have been goin on with my life (i.e. school/finals, cincerts, business and meetings for the next couple ventures which will come to the light very soon.) Plus, I've seen too many of you SHEEP BLOGS, b.k.a "fuckboyblogspot.com" fuckin this whole blog game up, postin what everybody is posting. Nothing is makin you dumbasses original. Which is why I had to step away from my shit for a second and re-evaluate why I was doing this shit....and that's why I figured it out...that revelation you will see on my next project....watch.

Listening to Joshua Redman's "Beyond"... makin this writing shit too easy.

I cannot wait to see the episode of The Boondocks episode where they ether Tyler Perry. It's gonna be great. This new season has been pretty dope to me so far.

Maaaaaaaaaan, it's been way too long since one of these 5:03s. It's crazy when you're going throughout your day with no computer, and all these ideas going through your head, then you sit down at a computer, and your mind draws a blank. It's happened one too many times in these last couple of moments.

you groupies on twitter slay me with your "outpouring of emotions" trynna get attention. Go get a xanga, livejournal or somethin with all that bullshit. y'all gotta learn that if you've done some shit like...well, you all know how groupies get down...pun intended...haha, anyways, if you try to get all philosophical on twitter, and you're a groupie, all that uplifting shit you write is null and void. miss me with all that shit.

I wanna play Oregon Trail so bad right now you have no idea.

I would drop kick the baby from hangover in the face for a Sweetwater burger right now.

seriously. these hoes on twitter have mastered the subliminal tweet, which is super weak...esp. when it involves me too (I saw some of that recently...it's funny to me)...no need to cower behind your myopic verbiage... there's an '@' for that.... silly petty bitches. grow the fuck up.

In this generation, I feel that Janelle Monae is the closest thing to Lauryn Hill we will have of this generation... yeah I said it...and what foo.

Fuck awkward moments...never had one...

I fuckin hate snakes. no Indiana Jones.

There's gonna be some changes that y'all should see from my side of things...

new website as well. ;)

These fashion shows I been to and have heard about recently in and around Detroit should just be called "hoodie rat gatherings" or "people with no fashion sense get together and show off the clusterfuck clothing that looks like Stevie Wonder sewed it together"

I'm done having small talk with you clowns too. I don't care about y'all anymore...well, i didn't care before, I was just talkin to a whole lot of y'all for the aesthetics of it. y'all slowin me the fuck down. y'all talking and tweeting my got damn head off.

you young niggas jumped on this snapback hat shit wayy too strong...lil niggas did the same shit with G-Shocks....smh, y'all followers be killin me.

Black folks love Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Heard some slick talk back home while I was in East Lansing taking care of some business...it's a shame the way niggas will smile, shuck, and shine right in your face, and got so much #hurt on the inside...smh

I see some of you ladies out here to stop claiming to be so real, so honest, so blunt, so blunt...when y'all lead some screwed fucked up hurtass lives. Read some Du Bois or Dodson or somethin. y'all need prayer, a hi-c orange with no ice, and a sunday school hug.

Has it really hit y'all that my friend Mike Posner is #54 on Billboard's Hot 100???? siiiiiiiiick. He's is gonna KILL THE GAME with his album...watch

Big Sean's influence on the rap game is lowkey CRAZY and sooooo DOPE. wait till y'all hear his new shit. it doesn't disappoint at all

It's fuckin crazy when I can actually look at a lot of you and see that you won't be shit in life. Some of y'all in college trying to get a degree, but y'all are wasting your time and your parents' money. Sorry, it's true. I've realized that hoes and deceitful ass people do nothing but bring your imaginative and progressive mind to a stagnant point which is somewhat cancerous to one's success. Cut that bullshit out.

smh...silly hoes.

Say what you want. I'm still me...and I'm still lookin out for those that have looked out for me. and these future projects that are coming up will be dope. You wanna follow me on my journey? cool, you're gonna love it and be mad entertained. oh, some of y'all don't? that's cool too. keep riding niggas' coattails... see where that gets you...dumb bitches with Kat Stacks dreams.

BIG SHOUT-OUT TO EVERYBODY THAT HAS STILL BEEN CHECKIN UP ON ME THROUGHOUT THIS SHORT HIATUS. In blogging terms, a month without blogging is like living under a rock for 5-10 years. Thank you for sticking with me. All luv!

SHOUT-OUT MY BROTHERS RICK AND RO...i can't shout-out and thank y'all enough for the opportunities. Deezle, Jopium whatupdoe! let's have fun and get this money.

Well well, now that i got that out of my system, let's look toward the positivity in the future. Because that's actually what the fuck I'm gonna do. There are too many opportunities and too much money out here to fuck up and not flip this shit to your advantage. Stay positive, keep your circle right and full of people that are better than you to motivate yourself for more progressive moments in life.

FIN.

5:03 AM/MY BIRTHDAY POST

GOT DAMN. the gawd is a fuckin grizzly ain't he?!?! ahahahahahaha...

"my how time flies"....cliche as fuck right? I smirk almost everytime I hear this. Although that statement is true, I feel a better statement is "time changes people. Some for the better. Most for the worst"

I remember last year at around this time, I felt what i thought was so.........good? Trying to recall a word to describe that feeling is awfully difficult at the moment. A feeling of false content...yeah that's better.

What i do know is that my circle got a hell of a lot smaller, and I could sense the salt in the atmosphere as soon as I started to decrease the circle.

I'm able to read people a little better now from last year. Peoples' moves, alterior motives, what they say to you, what they say when you're not around, all that shit.

I've felt myself going into this year and birthday with a sense of "fuck you"

but fuck all that man, let's celebrate. This is a toast to my fuckin life. Comin from a spot where niggas become a homicide statistic at this age, I'm blessed to be in this position I'm in. However, I feel I need more and to be better. More outchea, better positions of strength, more clout, better vision...all that shit.

SHOUT-OUT TO EVERYBODY THAT HAS GENUINELY WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, MY BLOG, ETC. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, HURRY THE FUCK UP!

shout-out to my Burn Rubber fam for always holding me down (My brothers Rick and Ro, MOS the ah-lo-gyz-er, AZ, Deezle, Cass, Ju, K.P.)

Shout-out to all my niggas in Chicago that think I'm 40, lol

SHout-out to Motivation for holding me down

BIG SHOUT-OUT TO ZSHOCK for holding me down heavy on twitter and hopefully on my wrist soon.

all you bozos that burn bridges with me are already seeing why that wasn't such a good idea. believe me, it'll get worse for you all fairly soon

and last, but certainly not least, A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO CONTINUOUSLY READ MY BLOG. I KNOW THE POSTS HAVE BEEN MUCH SLOWER AS OF RECENTLY, BUT I THANK ALL OF YOU. YOU ALL HAVE INSPIRED ME TO STRIVE TO BE GREAT. BIG CHANGES COMING SOON...I HOPE YOU'RE READY.

5:03 AM

last 5:03 of this semester.... workinonit

Look at that picture though?!?! What y'all know about that?!?!

I'm sitting here studying for my last test of the semester......crazy. I hate finals on the last day of finals week too. #kanyeshrug I'll get over it.

definitely lookin forward to break, and being back up at BR. As with everytime I go home, I can't wait to see some of y'all...as for you others....well.... gon head and take a guess...

Still trying to figure out if I can rock a skully. this Stussy joint I have is super quality. It feels dope for now.

when you pump fake on the home team, you look stupid.... and you get clowned on the low and the high.

I can't stand some of you that think that being extra quirky and different is cool. If you're naurally average, just be that. With some of you ladies, I think that Nicki Minaj has fucked your minds up, lol. Those that are not being themselves are so transparent and can be seen from miles away in my opinion. At the end of the day, just be cool and play your position.

How do some of you not wanna face the music yet try to listen to it?

I've written it before here, but I have to again.....some of y'all slay me with your actions.

Clipse "Till The Casket Drops" = CLASSIC. all around amazing. With each project Malice and Pusha put out, they strengthen their side of the argument for best hip-hop duo and solidify themselves even more as legends in the game. BARS on BARS.

"WHEN EVERYBODY PUTS ON THE CRAZIEST OUTFITS EVER, PUT ON YOUR FAVORITE OLD BAND OF OUTSIDERS DINNER JACKET AND PULL A MONSTER OUT OF YOUR SOUL."

I need a Rhea from N*E*R*D in my life...like two weeks ago.

I need a Vanessa Leon in my life...like two minutes ago.

I need an Olivia Munn in my life...like two hours ago.

I need a Meagan Good in my life...like two seconds ago.

I need a Fefe Dobson in my life...like two days ago.

I need an Anjulie in my life...like two years ago.

I need a Kristinia DeBarge in my life...like two months ago

"Please take a long hard look through your textbook, cuz I'm history"

I hate when people apologize to me for the wrong reasons... y'all know the people who you can sense are not genuine or are trying to do it so they can feel better about themselves and try to benefit from something...all of that = terriblay

If you like it then you shoulda put a NUVAring on it....LOL!

I lose more respect for some of you clowns on a consistent basis.

whoever makes Moscato needs to send Drake a thank you note ASAP!

Shout-out to everybody that keeps me motivated. love y'all.

Never been a dumb dude, No I'm not dense. I just had a slight lack of common sense.

QUIT ASKING ME ABOUT THE FUCKIN SPACEJAMS....lol, we'll let everybody know soon enough.

I cracked an egg that had two yolks in it... Dj Steph Floss told me it was good luck... we shall see.

"You play me once and lose affiliation, you play me twice i play myself, and that's a silly statement" - (c)Ro Spit ...Message for some of y'all.....yuuuuup and not to take with a grain of any spice either.

I'm too fly to be depressed.

BURN RUBBER ALL DAY.

GONE.

MIKE POSNER "ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR" EPISODE 4

props to @elitaste.... and the accapella version of "Drug Dealer Girl" needs to be a bonus on that album like yesterday. pow.

"In the fourth episode of Mike Posner’s web series “One Foot Out The Door”, Mike rallies the troops at Duke and shoots a viral video for “Drug Dealer Girl” starring Rosa Acosta all while going to class. Mike also introduces his DJ Khaled-inspired mantra “hits…straight hits.”

Tune in as Mike deals with the pressures of finishing college with a record deal, what his life will be post-graduation and his upcoming packed itinerary. Episode 5 finds Mike returning home to Michigan for 2 shows, seeing some childhood friends and meeting Mike’s sister."

yup, you see the title, you see the pic, you see the Burn Rubber hat...now I have to see where I'll begin....

Hope this one turns out the way I want it to. I basically don't even think on these now, and they end up being fuckin classic....no bias of course, LOL! in all seriousness, every time I do one of these, I try to make it like Jay-Z's Blueprint.....or better yet on some "Reasonable Doubt classic shoulda went triple type shit" you know? Matta fact, since I'm on my Blueprint shit, let's start this bitch off like this:

*bongo drum intro* *crescendo* *beat drops* I.... am.... back.... niggas..... ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha......I wanna thank everybody out there for reading this...surely appreciate it.......what you are about to witness is my thoughts man........right or wrong.....just what I was feeling at the time...you ever felt like this.....just vibe with me....(walk wit a nigga man).....just vibe with me:

I remember letting messages I get and actually read on my phone fuck up my day...especially the weekends. Thank goodness I got people in my circle that listen to me and don't give me advice, but give me new views of reality that are different than mine with no strings attached, no filter, and no qualms. it's amazing how a couple months and a couple events where it seemed as if I lost can give you a different outlook on shit...for the better by the way. Let me fall back. some of y'all are gettin a little too good at reading between the lines nowadays, lol.

Some of you confirm my worst fears.

...and you wonder why the wall I have up is thicker than Berlin's was.

matta fact, I already know some of y'all read this shit waiting for me to slip up and talk shit about me on twitter. I gotta thank y'all the most. Y'all keep me on my toes and motivate me to do better. Thank you thank you thank you, you're far too kiiiiind.

Gaga, you know I love you to death, but Beyonce is way too cold. Video Phone OH LORD.

Lawn cut low, I see you snakes in the grass...

Had it been a couple years ago, I would acknowledge those who hate. Now, it's not even worth my time. #thatisall #carryon

Don't make me expose you to the folks that don't know you.

Fuck this whole facade of shit like "blogging" being the cool thing to do. I've been seein so many people trynna do this shit, it's funny. I see some of y'all doing your thing, but 90% of y'all should seriously stick to doing shit you're actually good at (if anything) and leave this internet shit alone....

...but shout-out to all the college orgs, especially the black ones up at Michigan State that have blogs now. i see y'all. and no need to send me thank you notes for me inspiring you all...you're all welcome on the low.

y'all can miss me with the talkin heads shit. Don't tell me what you're about to do unless you're actually makin legitimate moves to do it.

so transparent.

your ulterior motives ruined it.

I can't even be mad anymore.

the word "fake" has lost its power to me.

had me at hello, lost me at your small talk.

the rate I see people go from ambitious to frivolous is so fast nowadays.

you did it though.

I'll never change, I'm too stuck in my ways, I'll never change.

Don't ask permission, just ask forgiveness.

Burn Rubber all day.

finally famous whatupdoe.

My nonchalant manner is gonna infuriate some.

I'm soooooo tired. it'll take more than a decent night of sleep to cure this.

GONE.

5:03 AM

Big shout-out my brother Rick for the haircut. It IS beard season by the way.... not cutting it until spring.....probably...stay tuned.

Being that last couple weeks were such an amazing week for viral music, most of my thoughts gotta revolve around the music. So happy bout that.

"I got a lot of family, you got a lot of fans, that's why people got my back like the Verizon man."

Ryan Leslie's "Never Gonna Break Up" might just win my award for song of the year. There are always those songs where there is a line or maybe a verse that can apply to a situation that you might have gone through. (almost) Every verse, every line, every word of this song is how I feel and have felt for a minute on certain situations... listen to that first track. some of y'all might understand where I'm comin from if you listen closely.

And Wale's album is craaaaaaazy! well put together and everything.

I need a Paula Patton in my life...like two weeks ago.

I need an Esperanza Gomez in my life...like two minutes ago.

I need an Alicia Keys in my life...like two hours ago.

I need a Sloan from Entourage in my life...like two seconds ago.

I need a Roselyn Sanchez in my life...like two days ago.

I need a Emmy Rossum in my life...like two years ago.

I need a Kerry Washington in my life...like two months ago.

......yeah, I don't think you get the picture...

have you gone trippy trippy, have you gone trippy trippy, have you gone trippy trippy trippyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Circle of influence gettin bigger like the tops of ponds.

RO SPIT'S "OH S#!T PROJECT" is crazy.

Moments like this, when you feel as if you don't have people supporting you is when you see who's really gonna help you progress and look out for your best interest. When you see who's lookin out for you at times like that, it makes your day and the way you carry yourself that much better.

Sammy Sosa...wtf?!

let's see, how eloquent can I put this? Well, I feel like I'm always talking about twitter in these 5:03's, lol. Let's hope this is last time I address subjects like this. In my eyes, Twitter is turning out to be the social media network's double-edged sword. First off, my opinion, no matter how extreme it may be, is my opinion. What I love about it is that when I state something on there, it's all mine. Also, if I criticize something, the opporunity to be constructive is always available, which I take advantage of most of the time. However, you're never gonna make everyone happy with your words and/or actions. The beautiful thing about Twitter is that if you don't like what someone is saying that 'unfollow' button is clear as fuck on the screen. That being said, what amazes me are the people that have the privilege of contacting me personally and/or speaking to me face-to-face choose not to, then wanna @reply either taking digs on my view or try to correct me on miniscule shit. It's spilled milk to me though... I'll add a #KanyeShrug and a #MarvwonSmirk to that, LOL! Honestly, at the end of the day, "either love me or leave me alone."

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the most understood misunderstood person you'll ever get to meet.

Rosa Acosta X Terry Richardson for Supreme photoshoot = WE ALL WIN.

"Many people gonna walk in and out your life, but only true friends leave footprints on your heart" ....Beans said some shit.

Like Adubb said, "If a person doesn't like Skighwalker for whatever reason it has to be pure foolishness...he's the coolest dude in the state of Michigan" ....my nigga!

That party over hallo-weekend really showed the positive energy that can be created up at State when I get involved. Thinking about that shit, I can't help but smile...not just at the outcome of the party, but the other messages it conveyed to everyone up at MSU that supports, as well as some of y'all that no longer do. Matta fact, you can catch me 'round campus with a big ass smirk on my face till further notice, lol.... on some "Fuck you if you don't rock with me" type shit...

GONE.

Still trying to figure out a way to truly articulate these thoughts I have at this time... bear with me.

Hustle Simmons whatupdoe homie!

the shit this guy Cudi said in the first part of Benny Blanco's remix of 3OH!3's "Don't Trust Me" is some of the realest shit... I just became more of a fan off of just that....wow.

It's hilarious how after an awards show my followers increase somethin ridiculous... shout-out to all my new followers by the way.

NBA season officially started.... I love it. Who's gonna stop the Lakers in the West though. Answer: nobody. The East is gonna be crazy though... if the Cavs don't win the 'ship, Bron Bron might have to shoot that move to the big apple...... psssh, yeah right. When I was kickin it with Bron in Cleveland, it was crazy to see how people in Cleveland give him his space. If he was hoopin anywhere else, it wouldn't work in my opinion. That and he would have to beef up his security crazy.

Miss my Burn Rubber fam... will see all y'all very soon.

There's a million numbers and bbm contacts in my phone, and still sometimes I feel like I have no one to call.

avoiding people is lame and shows a lack of confidence...matta fact, somebody remind me to go in on this topic for the next 5:03... I'm mad zombielike right now and don't anyone to confuse the point I'm trynna get across

The homie Zeno Jones called me over the weekend... told me some things that definitely motivated me to not slip up...thank you fam! i got you!

shout-out to Leaders1354 for the new fitteds... all love!

Fuck Halloween...that shit is for the birds...literally. Shout-out to all you girls dressing up like whores, trynna be fast without appearing fast, but showing your true feelings on the low... i'm just sayin.

Mike Posner's new mixtape "One Foot Out The Door" is re-damn-diculous!!! "Red Button" is the anthem right now... yes, I can relate...furreal.

I've never leaked a track in a 5:03....... until now that is, lol... some of y'all have heard Ro Spit's "I Do Me" but many haven't, soooooooooooooo, here you go:

CLICK THE PLAY ICON TO LISTEN TO RO SPIT'S "I DO ME"

Aight, I'm gone...got a midterm to study for. Yeah, that's why this is so lax... #KanyeShrug #MarvwonSmirk ...Fuck wishing me luck... Either I know this shit or I don't.

5:03 AM

off a lil *stunt button*

LOL, anyways, I truly appreciate everybody that read my last 5:03, especially all that commented... the feedback means the world to me...y'all have no idea.... and yes, even those who subliminally aggy tweet about the last 5:03 as well lol.... yuuup, i see y'all.

"Eat good, drink good, smoke better, winter spring summer fall the hoes try to get us, self made n*ggas ain't nuttin you can't tell us, came up together so we stay down forever"

I'm through asking for advice and/or others' opinions from other people...unless you're fam. and I'm done givin you niggas the benefit of the doubt. Got swindled on so many levels these last couple of months I swear... that being the case through all that bullshit I still won... those who doubt shall see sooner than you think.

Today is Sweetest Day right? Well, I'm seeing too many single people complaining/sulking/bitchin/moanin about how they don't have a girl/guy to be with right now... that and other people saying something around the lines of some "fuck it, i'm glad I'm single" type shit. Well, rather than falling into the monotony of the two previous examples listed, what I will state about today is that even though I don't have a person to be with at the moment, I do know one that when the time truly presents itself, I'll be with the most beautiful woman in the world...true story. And even though there are moments when i wish that time would come sooner than later, I'm patient wit' it...

Where did Miri Ben-Ari go? she was talented as fuck & oh so spicy...the best combo ever.

Losing interest with some of y'all everyday...it's a sha-ayyyy-ayyy-ame

Bumpin Miles Davis "Milestones" album right now... got me feelin right as I type this

I tweeted this shit yesterday, but I have to reiterate it: I CAN'T ROCK WITH YOU IF YOU SUPPORT THE HOME TEAM. Miss me with all that pump fakin shit. The grass is cut, and some of y'all lookin very snake-ish right now... #imjussayin

I think I'm in love with every girl that's been in Complex's Sweet Detail. they're all so dope!

Dear people on Twitter: STOP RETWEETING BULLSHIT OR SHIT THAT YOU CAN JUST @REPLY THE PERSON ABOUT... I don't give a fuck what the next yenta says. I see some of y'all retweet the most pointless ideas ever. shit has no relevance...tighten that shit up. #youlookfoolish

Renaissance State Of Mind > Empire State of Mind ...real shit

Some of you people never cease to amaze... like are you serious with that? It's all good though...can't help but laugh b/c it's one of the reasons why the scale that some of you operate on is so minimal...not trynna be an asshole...just being truthful. Pardon me, I had to laugh at that.

I'M.......GOING TO.........HAVE TO.......DO IT! Earlly Mac whatupdoe! that track is crazy!

I wanna kick it with Lykke Li...she seems cool as fuck.

Oh by the way, fuck all this homecoming stuff up at MSU... shit is for the fuckin birds... definily gon support the homie Slapz & my LEADERS fam that's up here partyin though... but that's it. The rest of y'all can take 2 of deez and call me in the morn.

Had to vent on this one real quick. For those who read this, thanks in advance...

Either love me or leave me alone.

GONE

5:03 AM

I have a thousand things goin on in my head (one of the reasons I get little to no sleep each night), and I still think where the fuck do I begin?

I'm listening to "Fear" by Drake right now.... the homie says "It's why I do this shit. I think they call this umm.....venting." I think something around the lines of that everytime I'm about to do one of these. Drake says some real shit on that song too...give it a listen if you already haven't.

My sleep schedule has been fucked up since..........forever really. It's weird because I sort of cringe at the idea of sleep now...or sleeping when it's dark outside. I feel I'm losing time... bear with me.

I been feelin out of the loop up at State, no lie....well, not just up at State, but everywhere in general recently..... like I'll be out at events/parties/whatever the fuck you wanna call a bunch of people gettin together and chattin about jack shit, and i can't front, the whole mingling thing is cool...helps you stay relevant, but I'll feel as if I'm missing the joke or something... it's a shame but it happens. It's been allowing me to focus more on things that are most important to me... i.e. classes.

Fuck what you think, that kid Justin Bieber is dope to me...

Y'all ever had a song that made you cry? I peeped that it was a trending topic on twitter a while back. Well, songs like that for me have come few and far between... yet, jazz-wise, John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman's "They Say It's Wonderful" hit me one day how amazing that song is when you really listen to the words and Trane's melodic choices...yeah, that's that shit to me.

I hate my downs, but I need them, and they motivate me to do better. Last time I felt I was in the midst of one, I looked at the numbers on here and saw that I'm in no position to be bummed...and the drive intensifies.

Just watched JUNO for the first time... loved it.

Twitter have given many people the feeling of having a voice that's important...I'm following/was following people that just say the most stupid shit on twitter... or say shit that makes me wanna @reply them something around the lines of "NO ONE REALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THAT...IF THEY SAY THEY DO AND/OR RESPOND, THEY'RE JUST THANGIN", haha.

I appreciate (almost) everybody that hits me up on twitter...the communication I receive from it is lovely. However, some people on twitter are funny (the wack type of funny) to me...like the ones that only hit me up with that bullshit: negative criticisms, questions that could be answered with self research, etc... or even the ones that I don't keep in contact with anymore that'll shoot me a little FYI/Cliff, you don't know what you're talkin about/diss on-the-low tweets like I don't know what the fuck is goin on... When I see them, I just laugh. Not to be condescending towards those people, but just as realization that I'm better than them, lol. damn................... contradictions right? lol, fuck it, life is a muthafucka contradiction anyways.

I love when I talk about a topic on twitter, then I see other people do the same...some try so hard not to put me in an @reply too, LOL! To whom it may concern, quit frontin...

I need more black Burn Rubber t-shirts.

Ooooh, just changed the music. to some Radiohead. This shit is putting me in a whole 'notha zone right now.

I could be upset and somewhat disappointed in a lot.....well, a few people right now, but I choose not to respond to it, or be petty, or childish, etc...matta fact, I can't, nor will I.

Real goonie shit, head wrapped with an AK real Sunni shit... OH LORD! Earl Mac whatupdoe.

Damn, why did the "Fame Kills" tour get cancelled?!?! I was hype for it, had some bread to get some good ass tickets, plus I was gonna have a dope date for it...*sigh* Whatup B, they can't shut up me, haha

Don't try to play me, me me... you shouldn't try and play me, me me...

I feel the pressure building up to excel exponentially in the next couple years.

My homie Rodney told me that you always need that one main girl on the team that'll hold you down...I definitely feel that... and know that I'm givin the world to whoever fills that void i swear.

Dear Michigan State, cut me a check, and maybe I'll support that school spirit bullshit.

It's ironic how this Kid Cudi album is sort of describing how i feel right now...wow

I just went outside...the color that's outside is definitely representing my mood right now. if you're reading this and the time I post this, go look outside...the sky has some sort of reddish glow to it, right?

For those of y'all that read this, I don't thank you all enough, especially you all that comment. thank you for allowing me take up your time with my internetblogsitelatenightearlymorning rambling...lol

maaaaaaaaaaan, fuck this shit...this is too much...I'ma try to sleep...

GONE.

5:03 AM

and I don't need a hook for this sheeeeit, ha.....FUCK IT. LET'S GO:

I hate that feeling when you're about to be sick...that's how I feel right about.........now. Nose stopped up, sore throat...you know the symptoms, lol.

Shout-out to my friends Kristen Nichole & Britt Garrison on their 21st birthdays...y'all stay safe

yeeeeeeeeeeeah, officially back up at MSU...settled in. room's a mess... definitely cleanin this shit when I wake back up...

One thing up at college that I catch a lot of people trying to hard to do is find their true identity. Whether it's somebody changing the way that they talk, or the way they try to use words of different regions to appear as if that's the dope thing to do (95% of the time it's not, and you look like you're reaching). Finding your own identity comes naturally and unfortunately for some rather than others, it becomes longer to find. Be patient, because when you try too hard, let's be honest, you look like a fuckin joke.

Carter's "Legal Trappin" Mixtape is too cold! Been listening to it the whole time I been typin this... I rock with it.

I hate looking back on situations b/c I like to always keep fresh in my mind the process of being progressive. However, every past experience becomes a learning experience no doubt... but putting yourself in that "what might have been" mindset is hurtin...on to the next one.

With some it feels like as the distance becomes farther, the tests begin, people fail the tests, and true colors show... actually, it's funny (really not funny at all) that as some are literally closer, they become figuratively farther... *sigh* the ills of college life...on to the next one.

Shout-out to everybody that shoot me @replies on Twitter, then deletes them and acts like they didn't send that to me and/or thinks I don't see that shit... there have been a couple instances where some girls have done that to me. to whom it may concern, don't worry, i'm not gon air you out, lol...I didn't respond b/c that shit was weak...on to the next one.

If you're over 26....fuck, i'll be nice.... if you're over 27 and you're still taking pictures in the club of you sippin a drink, grow the fuck up. you know damn well that shit got played out when you were 23...on to the next one

Still finding every opportunity to keep a tight-knit crew, word to OhShitRoSpit.

Battle at Kruger is the dopest youtube video ever.

Just had an awkward phone conversation earlier in the night....don't you fuckin hate those??

quality over quantity...some of y'all...well, let's just say y'all slay me... literally.

caught myself fallin for another pump fake....never again, I swear.

Soooooo many people have been askin me my opinion on this Kid Cudi album...I figure this would be the spot to put it. Honestly, his album is dope. I definitely rock with it. I was always a fan of Cudi's melodic choices way more than his rapping. This album definitely emphasizes Cudi more from a melodic point, which as I said previously, he would win 100% of the time....he clearly did with his album... Kudos to Kid Cudi.

bout to have another sesh where I delete numbers and blackberry pins out of my phone. Don't be mad if you had my pin, then you can't bbm me...it is what it is. #keepitmovin ...please and thank you...i accidentally just deleted one person tho and I didn't mean it...whoops, lol

I've been having dreams that have been killin me...Ever since 2-3 weeks before I got up to school, I've been having these dreams that would happen where right before the conflict in my dream gets resolved, I wake up. Shit's been crazy and has really been buggin me...

All i can ask is that y'all not be mad at the truths I bring...my truths, my side, my vision. I'm already see that many feel some type of way with me, the words I type on this blog, the things I say, etc., and I predict that "that many" will definitely increase...

off that.

GONE

DJ STEPH FLOSS VLOG DAY 173

The start of the vlog shows the end of the Mike Posner/Big Sean/Fly Union show. Steph Floss FINALLY blessed me and let me make a cameo on there too, lol...check it out.

5:03 AM / WHAT I LEARNED OVER THE SUMMER

Man OH Man, last one of the summer... shall I go ham steak pork shit? ehhhhh...not gon lie, I've been hypin this last joint up to the twitterverse for a minute, so I can't let myself down & make it wack right?

I figured I'd put this out the day school has officially started for everybody.....mostly, lol.

This Burn Rubber hat I'm wearing in the pic above is my favorite right now....furreal

Hope you all had an enjoyable Labor Day. Shout-out to Britt G. and Ashley for the hospitality...and the bomb ass food!

I had my bags packed to go back to school...the feelings of goin back to school have always been kinda bittersweet. Don't get me wrong, I love goin back up to MSU, but I can never get over the feeling of basically packing your life into 1 vehicle and being on your way. Couldn't wait to go back up to school though. Wanting to see some, while not wanting to see others...but that's for another time.

I can't stand looking at sneaker forums now...they're like shit-talking wave pools...and most cats on forums are corny, and will probably never say the shit they say on there to your face...unless they wanna get knocked the fuck out, lol.

Now I'm in my new room...in my new apartment...still getting used to the whole apartment/fixing your own food/having own room/ type shit... so far I love it...my roommates are a tad messy at times, but it's all good.

Can't wait to be in the thick of the whole college football atmosphere...was watchin it last weekend... so dope.

“I stay away from niggas that could land me in some trouble/and I’ma keep it honest, I’m so tired of being subtle/it’s just Rick, Ro, MOS, and I standing in a huddle” ....that's real shit!!!

Got a call from Rick the other day in the middle of some clownin goin down in Burn Rubber... it was hilarious, but it made me miss my fam even more.

Guys, stop drinkin Nuvo...it's like the 2009 version on ZIMA....Carry On.

For about half the time I was writing this, I have Anjulie's "Boom" on repeat...the lyrics to this song are too real. sidebar: I think I'm in love with Anjulie...she's so cold to me...she's kinda in that category of spicy ladies that I refer to as the ones that "can do no wrong"

Once again, shout-out to most of y'all that commented on the last 5:03's... love y'all. To make an addendum to one of my thoughts in the last 5:03, D. Knott (Detroit Fresh) stated that "for some reason chicks who are/think they are smart feel like they can't be hoes (even though they have had sex with every one you know). and then will be the first to call another girl a hoe. hypocrisy is disease and honesty/self awareness is the cure." Sheeeeeit, you ain't neva lied...if that ain't real shit, I dunno what is.

In the last 5:03, some bitchwackassniga commented saying "Throwin out subliminal disses about another blogger for no apparent reason....you're a bitchwackassniga...cliff has turned into the Joe Budden of bloggin'...y pop off about someone if you not gone at least give us a link so we can see who u goin in on...wack"... <----- *crickets* LOL, pardon me I had to laugh at that. First, whoever made that comment brutally failed when they tried to use a word that my pop's made against me. LOL, hilarious...I do suggest you read a couple 5:03's back, as well as not be so myopic with your comments, smh... Anyways, I "been had" explained myself. Like OhShitRoSpit said: "I ain't gon say ya name, cuz if I say ya name, you might enjoy your piece of fame" ...and I don't want these cornballs to enjoy shit.

What ever happened to Larisa Oleynik?

I wish I had the DVD box set to Nickelodeon's Doug right now...I'd be watchin that shit right now...and not Disney's version...that shit was kinda weak...straight Nickelodeon for me.

MSU has some of the baddest ladies right now..... no bias of course

WHAT I LEARNED OVER THE SUMMER

There's been a revealing of many bitchwackassnigas this summer. I saw the inner bitch come out of so many supposed grown folks it's 'tarded... Ex: I heard many people throughout the summer say shit from "Maaaaan, I dunno about Cliff man...he's been actin weird lately" to "Yo, I don't think Cliff really messes with me anymore" ...this whole summer was an opportunity to prove myself... I had to buckle down and focus to make sure everything was right... plus, some were actin like I'm not reachable and shit, and like some of these clowns don't know where I'm at...Smh, lames.

This summer, I saw so many beautiful ladies state on twitter and every other media outlet one could find how much they need/want a man...I smh at times, b/c honestly, a lot of them contradict themselves when it comes to what they want...whatever... although they have given a blueprint on how some of you guys could possibly get on, lol... if you read people between the lines that is.

Burn Rubber is a blessing that I will never take for granted...Rick and Ro taught me so much this summer...can't wait for what's to come in the future.

I realized this summer that no matter how many times you may tell someone how you feel about them (on some "more than friends" type shit), if those feelings aren't reciprocated, you have to move the fuck on, or you're setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

Saw many cats bite the hand that fed them this summer...people out here burnin bridges before walkin on them...HURTIN

Definitely made my circle smaller this summer... somebody cue Ro Spit's "Monkey Wit Niggas" for me...please and thank you.

The only opportunities you should regret are the opportunities that you don't take advantage of.

Without a doubt, I know for a fact that I have some type of an impact on people....I want that to grow though.

You can't get caught up in petty shit, like little snide remarks people say about you, who you represent etc., as well as people who try to bite your style (saw so much of that this summer it's crazy) I found myself doin it at times. At the end of the day, I saw that lil shit I was gettin involved in was slowin me down...I realized that my numbers are too high and I'm operating on an echelon that's too high to be petty anyways...

SKOOL BOI CHRONICLES SEPTEMBER 18th...don't say I didn't warn you

I lost interest in those that I deemed "interesting" and gained interest in those who were off of my proverbial radar at that moment... I saw people do the same with me...can't be mad at that, even though some of y'all will be mad at me when you realize I'm talkin bout you...it is what it is.

Anyways, I'm back people... I know a lot of people thought I was slippin this summer... keep it posted right here with me...this year is gonna be crazy.

Big shout-out to everybody that's been rockin with me this whole summer...love y'all the most.

The motivation for me is them tellin me what I could not be....Oh well

SKIGHWALKER...GONE

5:03 AM

Well well....it has been some what of a minute hasn't it? Haven't done a 5:03 in August...it's a shame I'm so late with this one...fuck it, better late than never right?

I did receive more feedback then I had really expected from my last 5:03... mostly good, some bad, and some asking if I was talking about them...to get all that out of the way, I'll address all of this right now...

First off, shout-out to everybody that saw the honesty in my words as well as the message. The positive feedback reiterated the influence and inspired me to stay motivated, regardless of whatever state of mind I'm in. Special thanks to d. knott, Mr. Wilson, and DBrown, who commented on the blog... all love!

As for the bad, well.... dwelling on the negativity is like arguing with a salty McCain supporter...

like Dom said, "if you wasted one wink of sleep on account of some shit that I said, I was prahly talkin bout you...HAAAAAAAA!"

Shout-out to Timothy YRB, who came into BR a couple days after that 5:03 and said "Damn Cliff, you went ham on that last 5:03"...LOL, It was much needed though...like I said, this shit is therapy to me.

"It's crazy how you could go from being Joe Blow, to everybody on yo dick no homo." ...What Ye' said. I definitely relate.

Spicy girls that quote HOV lines are the best...MESSAGE!

Tiny & Toya is a dumbass show.

MY DAD IS ON TWITTER!: FOLLOW HIM BY CLICKING HERE NOW!

My dad made a new word: "Bitchwackassniga" ...Let me take my next couple of thoughts to elaborate on it:

If you hate on local artists that are already signed, gettin mad shine out here, you're a bitchwackassniga.

If you don't think Michigan Hip-Hop is shittin on your favorite region's scene, you're a bitchwackassniga.

If you talk negatively about the moves I'm makin, you're a bitchwackassniga.

If you have a wack ass blog/online magazine that looks like a poor man's Hypebeast and/or HighSnobiety, you're a bitchwackassniga.

If you just started a blog that looks just like what I'm doing, only your grind is a C- at best and your writing is piss poor, you're a bitchwackassniga... sidebar: make your own lane homie.

Before he left to go back to Duke, my homie Mike Posner left the Miike Snow album in my car. I can't stop listening to it. Definitely gonna be up there with one of my favorite albums of the year... thanks Mike!

Fawk what y'all think, that B5 record with R.L. is crazy....Carnell whatupdoe!

Shout-out to Deezle's dad Kev. My bad for not doin a 5:03 sooner, man. I got you on this one though.

Ladies: You can't be a hoe and call another girl a hoe, no matter how intelligent you are and/or how articulate you attempt to put it. That's like calling out someone for being a crackhead while your base needle is still stuck in your arm

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I have so much more to write about this morning, but I'm gonna hold off. HOWEVER, right before I go back to school, I will do a 5:03 called "What I've Learned Over The Summer". This next 5:03/WILOTS will most likely be the most personal & blunt I've ever been on here, some things I write on that you might not necessarily agree with, but you'll have no choice but to respect it...brace yourselves...till next time people.

SKIGHWALKER...GONE

POP OUT©

5:03 AM

I'm wide awake this morning for some reason...no drowsiness at all...super random, but whatever...if y'all didn't already know, this 5:03 shit is therapy to me...I mentioned on twitter that this 5:03 would piss a lot of people off...well, it WOULD....actually it still might...I had to step back and realize my audience is too broad to be unfiltered...anyways, let's get into it:

The last couple of days, I've been driving in my car without listening to any music. It feels weird because I always listen to music when I'm driving. Anyways, been reflecting a lot more...just tryin to figure out this path...

Listening to Mr Hudson "White Lies" is makin my thoughts move faster right now...I'm feelin it

Fuck the context...I realize now that people can't take what they dish out...

It's pretty much safe to burn bridges if you no longer have intentions of going that route, especially if it leads to you not winning...case in point: I've been deleting numbers & blackberry contacts left and right, trying my best to get rid of the bullshit...and some of my contacts that are worn out hurtin, *Drake autotune* ooooooooooooh, lol... but furreal, if you call me and I ask who it is, and you thought I had your number in my phone, please keep it movin... ok bye

Can someone please get Dom Kennedy a performance in Detroit????

The Parrot wrote this and I actually LOL'd: "LA BIRDS ARE 6'S DRESSED LIKE 9'S ACTIN LIKE 10'S" ...sorta like Detroit area hoodrats, only numbers change to 2's,3's, & 12's

Shout-out to everyone that didn't put the Big Sean "Getcha Some" video on their site...SMH, y'all clowns live in Hurtsville, U.S.A...

Summer's gettin super close to getting wrapped up... I think this is one of the first times I really can't wait to get back to school....and RUN SH#T. LOL, but seriously, if you don't mess with me up at MSU, you're a corndog.

ATTN: Everything that they do over there is not dope. Quit pump fakin & tighten up.

SMH @ what reminds people to stay in contact with me...

Chrisette Michele is flawless in my opinion... I think I love everything about her.

Someone a couple weekends ago (I seriously forgot) during the Detroit stop of the Great Hangover tour told me that "there's a fine line between networking and being a groupie"...pssssssh, fuck outta here

One of my pet peeves: seeing beautiful girls complain about how they can't find a man....y'all can't be serious...lol, well, either that, or y'all trying to get preggers by an athlete or somebody else that's breaded up...

Anthony Bourdain is a genius.

^and Roger Goodell???? eh, not so much. Vick did his time...let him play football.

Some of you think that when I start talkin shit, I'm talkin about you (If you think like that, then I probably am, lol... I digress). However, I'm definitely not "sneak dissing" anyone. Let me break my definition down for the ignorant. The term "Sneak Dissing" is used to describe the bitchmade people that are too scared to mention the person that they are talking about for fear of the consequences. Now, I, on the other hand, don't like to mention certain names simply because I don't want to see them get shine off of my blog, or anything I'm affiliated with, primarily b/c I do wayyy more numbers than most, if not, all the people I mention w/o mentioning. And I could give a damn about consequences, b/c "young n*gg*s y'all can hurt me, betta watch & observe me, and learn how to earn better"... *MESSAGE* lol, carry on.

Jay-Z's "B*****s & Sisters" should be a wake-up call, memorized and recited by some of y'all on a regular basis.

Rosa Acosta..............................wow............................that's all, next topic.

I pulled the wool from out of my eyes. Shout-out to all my homies over at Finally Famous for being a pack of wolves, and showing me who's thirsty, who's hurtin, and who's down.

Is you hurtin? Is you hurtin? Beetch, you might be..LMAO.

F.A.Y.B.A.N.
