A Hip-Hop Thanksgiving

by Jyle on November 22nd, 2007

Thanksgiving is a time to get your family together and talk about the things you are most grateful for. It would seem that the world of Hip-Hop is a different lifestyle, but during the holidays we’re all the same.

In a quick interview with Illseed from All Hip-Hop, rappers discussed what they remember or cherished the most about Thanksgiving.

Bobby Valentino: All of them, just being with my family because I don’t get a chance to kick it with them a lot. Just being with them every Thanksgiving is a great thing if I’m not working.

Remy Ma: That was last year when I actually cooked a whole Thanksgiving dinner. Baked macaroni and cheese, potato salad… I made Cornish hens for everybody. I made everything my own self, and it was good.

More after the jump…

DJ B-Mello (KUBE / KEXP Seattle): Like 10 years ago I spent the whole little holiday break working on this mixtape called Blends Pt. 3. It was my best selling, most bootlegged, most mentioned mixtape to date.

T.I.: The year I was released from prison on Thanksgiving…

Wood Harris (The Wire): The last one, because all of the other ones go away and I forget about ‘em. The last one my family got together at my brother’s crib and it was great.

Yo Gotti: It’s kinda funny, because I had a show on Thanksgiving. So my mama cooked, we got the food and was traveling with it. I had six or seven of my boys, we eatin’ in the truck on the way to the show out of town.

DJ Drama: Being at my nana’s house, eating the best macaroni and cheese in the world, watching the Eagles/Dallas rivalary with the rest of my family.

Again Thank you Illseed of AllHipHop.com and happy Thanksgiving everyone.
