"It's cool, never slippin', when it's moves to make..."

Black Thought - Stay Cool

When I write, I usually start an article with either some poetry from Langston Hughes, or a line from a song that's relevant to the story and or how I feel.

Say word

T-shirts have been a way of self expression for decades, as I can recall doing my best to be different in wearing t-shirts and sneakers that no one else had. Exclusivity is what drove me to search for the shirts and kicks off the beaten path. 

There is a new line of shirts built on a love of music. The brand, i/denti/tee, allows people to create personalized apparel using lyrics that begin with the letter "i". It is packaged in a 12" vinyl album cover, and has a coupon redeemable for 10 songs on iTunes. 

I've come up with a few lyrics that I'd like to see on a tee:

"I've got so much trouble on my mind..." - Chuck D - Welcome to the Terrordome

"I got a mojo too..." - Muddy Waters - (I'm Your) Hoochie Coohie Man

"I got soul, and I'm superbad..." - James Brown - Superbad parts 1&2

"I can't deny how the mami's feel..." - Peedi Crakk - Flipside

That's one of the coolest ideas ever...I'm gonna have to come up with a few lyrics of myself.
