In 1992, a little boy was born in the Bay Area, California. As this little boy grew up, he made poor decisions like watching MTV and BET. He re-downloaded Cam'ron's "Oh Boy" mp3 file because the version he downloaded had bad words. He couldn't buy Kanye and 50 Cent's first albums, so he asked his older sister's friend to burn him a copy. He forced his mother to buy him Air Force 1's at Hilltop mall; not because of Nelly, but because he saw Justin Timberlake wearing it in his "Rock Your Body" music video. He broke his older sister's Justified CD because he accidentally dropped his CD player while dancing in the bathroom. He thought he would be the next Allen Iverson before he stopped growing in the 6th grade. He thought Viva La Bam was cool so he started hanging out with skaters in middle school even though he never skated. He went to Philadelphia as his college graduation gift, so he can see Joel Embiid play. He went to college and got kicked out because he thought he could learn electromagnetism in one night. He almost went broke buying multiple TWICE tickets because he kept finding better seats. He went to the Millennium tour in 2019 to see his childhood favorite: B2K. He bought a Gibson SG because he thought he can be Derek Trucks. He had beer thrown at him because he wore a Aqib Talib Rams jersey to a Niners game. He started a podcast because he thought he was Joe Rogan. Hi, I'm jfmbiid and welcome to Ube Island.
