I can't believe this just happened to me.

I had my window down - the weather is nice tonight, it's like a summer evening, but usually I drive around with my window open at least a crack so I can hear some outside noises. I had my music on, jammin - Not crazy loud or nothing, I don't front "with my boomin' system" like that.

I was in the right lane of a double-divided avenue and both lanes slowed down even though it's a green light.

So I take a look around and to my left, this 20 year old white motherfucker in this tall yellow truck looks down on me (*note the condescension) in mock enthusiasm, nodding his head like " YEAH!"

I threw my head back and laughed because for a second I thought he was actually diggin it, but then he kept that face for a little too long.

His left lane started proceeding before mine and I'm like

Only if I play Prince.

I wasn't playing Prince by the way.

you know we all want to know exactly what you were playing so we can judge your musical selection too.

Crystal Gale?

Happens all the time.



Then again, I do front "with my boomin' system" like that.

I thought exactly of you when I was making this topic because you said "how come I never hear anything good coming out of people's windows" and told that story of giving your apartment neighbour a mix cd titled "FOR YOUR STEREO" or something along those lines.

I don't really know how I can tell you guys what it was because it's sort of obscure! It's a song recorded live in 1981 called "Rappin' Ain't No Thing" by Boogie Boys where they rap over breaks from Thin Lizzy, The Eagles, and Experience Unlimited.

Cinnie said:

so were you listening to the new kid rock or was it more along the lines of hillary duff?

Anxiety said:

check your orgnote you snot

2the9s said:

but really, unless you had a pre-formulated opinion on it, why would you bother to mock?

This thread just keeps getting worse.

read your orgnote hater!

No but I've hated on others. One summer, a friend & I were driving with our windows down. We were in the left lane. All the sudden this 18 year old dude came up next to us, blasting Enrique Iglesias "Be With You". He was singing the chorus "now that you're gone....." REALLY loud. My friend & I looked at him, then looked at each other and started busting out laughing. The dude turned his radio down and rolled up his windows.

Me and a friend of mine got a lot of funny looks from some scientologists when we were driving around town blasting Van Halen

i used to quite a lot when i'd drive up to my school senior year fearlessly blaring prince. the looks i got were great.

see these stories make a little more sense because i can imagine there was a "artist recognition" factor in whoever heard what you were playing, but AS IF that dude knew what I was listening to.

Anxiety said:

I think I may have avoided this event had I been listening to either of those

Cinnie said:

I don't really drop the bass with the windows down, but it has definitely happened on multiple occassions.

Were you listening to hiphop, he might have been giving you "I dislike wiggers" look. You weren't white enough for him?

I was dressed quite neutrally so I was surprised that a SONG could provoke that much of a reaction.

my mum didn't used to like annie christian much, and I used to insist on that as she drove me to school

I hate people who blast their music in period.....unless they're taking a nice joyride in the country. Drive-Thrus are the worst.

It was just loud enough for myself, I wasn't out frontin' "with the boomin system"
