i was listening to wiley's first album the other day and it reminded me of one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me
i was with a girl at the time when wiley's album came out.. the one called treddin on thin ice anyone who knew me at the time knew i was big into foreign music.. like people from the UK mostly.. i mean i was really into those guys.. dizzee, wiley, kano, m.i.a, the streets, baby blu.. etc i'm talking like 2003, 04, 05, 06 i even said this in a song i wrote.. the first song on my album called 'style by fire' i said not out chasin chicks, i'm makin hits/ spending half my dough on long playin discs/ go to tower records, hit the imports/ other dudes play ball- but this is his sport/ i STAYED in that import section lol so one day i went to my g/fs house and when she let me in she was like.. press play on the cd player.. i was thinking "ok that's weird but alright" so i went and pressed play and it was that wiley album i had been wanting! i was like WHOA how did you get this!! because at that time.. it was like hard to get your hands on some of the foreign music.. like you could go to the store and buy an album from nelly no problem but if you were like me- you were always looking for something no one ever heard of so i was like how did you get this! she said she asked the guy at tower records (that used to be in opry mills) and he had no idea what she was talking about but it just so happened that they had one copy of it!!! i was like WOW!!!!!! and i feel like- looking back, i had he best g/f in the WORLD!!!!! but i don't think i realized it at the time.. i think i was kinda ignorant back then and i feel like i only realize how great she was to me in hindsight so yeah that is my story of someone doing something really nice for me cuz the cd was so rare and it was like she knew my loves and hobbies and my weird foreign music appetite but she didn't see it as weird she just saw it as like "this is what james likes" and she was supportive to me in things i didn't realize it at the time, but its very hard to find that supportive and accommodating trait in women these days
