I just read that money as we know it is dead. Soon the world is only gonna buy and sell products using Bitcoins. It's like a complicated math equation. So, one day we're gonna buy things with numbers from a math equation?

Word. Malcolm, Jib and Diggy... are all deeply obsessed with '90s hip-hop culture, submerging themselves in the music, watching old Yo! MTV Raps episodes for fashion tips... and using the slang. Huh? Bro, that shit was whack. - What? - They were biting Brand Nubian. That's not even possible. Jackpot, niggas. Gushy, gushy. Mmm! Oh, did I mention that Diggy was a lesbian? Although from the way she dresses, you might not have noticed she's a girl.

Save her, Lord! Yo, hallelujah! Hallelujah! Every Sunday, her grandmother asks the church to lay their hands on her... in order to pray away the gay. Praise the Lord!

- That's just because he's a little ho. - That's true. He's a very pretty nigga. Yes, he is. What's up, boss? For most geeks, a bad day might be being the butt of jokes in class, the occasional food prank and the worst... being beat up by a jock. But when you live in The Bottoms, a bad day might be accidentally getting killed. Like Wytony Johnson, who got shot buying a pastrami cheeseburger... from Jimmy's Burger on Centinela. Hey! It's the Rollin' 60s, dumb-ass niggas!

The real tragedy is... that he was seconds away from defeating Ganon. He had a hell of a comic book collection.

Jib has been trying to talk Wytony's mom into giving them to him... for the past two weeks.

Malcolm, Jib and Diggy don't play sports and they aren't in a gang. They're always getting ridiculed by their peers because they're into white shit... like skateboards, manga comics, Donald Glover... and for listening to white shit like Trash Talk, TV on the Radio... and for doing white shit like getting good grades and applying to college. Malcolm, Jib and Diggy used to be in the school marching band, but quit in protest after refusing to play the Harlem Shake. They arranged to use the music room during lunch... for their recently formed punk band, Awreeoh. One, two. One, two, three, four!

Nigga, I don't know why you was looking. Hey-hey! My nigga, my G. Oh, man. Where the fuck you goin', man? Goddamn. What's up with you? Hey, them last shoes you gave me, man, I was feeling them. Classics. The Force 2s? Yeah, I was liking those. What's these you got on? Bro, these are straight from the flea market. Shut the fuck up, nigga. These the J-3s with the red mark on 'em. Oh, yes. Come up out those right now.

Malcolm, when I see stuff like this personal essay, I think you're not taking the process seriously. I'm... I'm taking it seriously, Mr. Bailey. I promise. I'm talking about something that I love. I mean, it's well-reasoned, supported with historical data, it shows creativity, critical thinking. If Neil deGrasse Tyson was writing about Ice Cube, this is what it would look like. I suggest you go in a different direction. Write something personal about you. Your family, your life.
