Lessons In Literacy #1 ...that's literacy with a Crooked I!

OK i'll admit, a lot of the time I am a stickler for correct spelling, pronunciation and the like. Obviously when you are texting, instant messaging etc it's less important. I know it seems cool amongst the ganstas (deliberate!) out there to dumb down, because hey, it ain't cool to be nerdy over a bunch of words you can still read anyway right?!

Well sometimes it's good to pay attention....case in point Crooked I. For those of you that don't know, Crooked I is an MC who hails from the west coast (of America, i don't mean Wales) and by all accounts is decent. Along with Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden and Royce da 5'9 he has formed the "Supergroup" that is Slaughterhouse. What better way to celebrate the forthcoming release of your new group's debut album than with a new tattoo. Now correct me if i'm wrong but can you see something wrong with the new ink?! (click the pic to see larger)


SLAUGTER HOUSE....hmmm

Point 1 - If you are getting a tattoo you might want to concentrate and not be on the phone
Point 2 - If you are not too hot on spelling, make sure your tattoo artist is
Point 3 - If you are thinking of a name to choose for your hot new rap group...try using a name you know how to spell!

I just hope i haven't made any spelling mistakes in this entry now! Feel free to air me out if you see any!

Yours,

LV...i mean LB. Damn this spelling business is hard
