Man Oh Man. Today was productive!

So today i got up good and early hopped in the shower and went and got my haircut! (yea i kno who takes a shower b4 they get a cut lol)... I hit the mall 2day wit my cuzzin and my lil bro. Wow that was interesting. I see myself in them alot wit the things they say. Me being a couple years older i think they say some of the most ignorant and lamest shit but i gotta remember that im sure i said that same crap wen i was their age.

So i was thinkin of who i look up 2 alot as far as music is concerned and i must say my top 5 goes something like this. 1.) Tupac 2.) Z-ro 3.) Common/Mos Def (a very very close tie) 4.) Bun B 5.) Ice Cube.
(these are just ppl i draw the most inspiration from, not ppl whom i consider 2 be the best rappers)
I jus like the shit that really sticks 2 you as far as sittin down and tryna write a SONG. Like ppl who really sit down and sit in the studio wit pen and pad and work on their craft. It seems like alotta rappers these days emphasize QUANTITY over QUALITY. They spend all their time dubbin up the vocals 2 a bunch of wack ass freestyles, instead of sittin down and takin time 2 write their rhymes. Honestly i probably only got about 80 sounds of my own and i got my mic about 2 yrs ago. BUT! i have about over 300 songs written down. Just cuz sumtimes writin helps your craft even if u aint puttin da shit u write on wax. Ppl just put WAAAAYYYY to much emphasis on how many songs they have and how good they shit sounds as far as the engineering is concerned. Like wats the use of havin 200 songs and only 50 of em are worth my time listenin. Thats fuckin remedial and stupid! For example a rapper by the name of Z-ro had a cd out called "King of the Ghetto (2K7) Power" (which i think yall shud definitely check out) but its one of the deepest cds. Definitely not his best work, but its a DOPE cd and better than the majority of shit that came out in 2007. Well they said he put it together in 2 weeks, but bein that it was Z-ro i knew he wasnt gon put out sum half ass cd. Well i was definitely correct. He put emphasis on his lyrics way more than his sound. The cd was definitely recorded in his home studio and wasnt mastered at all, but thats jus how i like it. Now am i sayin record on a weak ass computer mic NO!!! THATS A NO NO!! but as long as its on a studio mic and is clear 4 me 2 hear da rappers true voice and witout any random ass clicks of noise its coo wit me cuz thats hip hop. Da essence aint so much wit da technology but wit da shit ur sayin and da craft and time u put into it. Dats why all those rappers that I just named are my favorites because they take the time wit they rhymes and the say sumtin wen they approach the mic......Take note from these artists cuz they are on sum real shit. And i got an honorable mention "The Game". I dont care wat no1 say, but that nigga is a beast! Ppl might have they reservations about him but that nigga is a lyrical monster and he makes very good conceptual records. I aint tryna be a dickrider or nuttin but dat nigga's latest cd "LAX" is crazy! I've honestly NEVER been let down by any of his records. The Documentary was definitely his best, but his other efforts have followed up well, especially LAX. So 2 all the rappers out their, TAKE TIME 2 MAKE YOUR CRAFT BETTER!!!! With all the wack music thats out these days u make it very hard 4 niggas like myself 2 do it big, cause they think all rap is bullshit!

Late Night Random Shit!

So im sittin here at my computer tired as hell but up like a muh fucka. Im thinkin about ALL this music i got that the world hasnt even heard yet. Im so shy that i have a hard time givin ppl my music, cuz ppl dont expect me 2 come from that type of angle, wen it comes to self expression. If i would push my shit out 2 the world more im sure i would have a music deal by now. Theres alotta wack niggas out nowadays and i kno that i would easily crush my competition. I feel like im Undergrounds underground. I make hot shit tho! i jus recorded a song that i wrote 2day called "For The Love of Money" its basically about the communities problems and how they are centered around dinero, and how ignorant pl that deal dope 4 the hell of it are. Well dats enuff 4 now. Im sleepy and im textin tryna get my cake on lol. Plus i gotta head 2 the barbershop in the mornin 2 get lined up nice 4 da Christmas dinner. See yall 2ma! Gudnite world and happy holidays 2 all!!

New Shit...


So i decided to turn this blog into a showcase of my music. I hope you all like it. I've been workin on gettin dis shit started since 6 oclock this morning so work wit me lol. So me and my homies been havin a discussion on the new kanye album "808's and Heartbreak". I personally feel like the album is GENIUS, while my other homie thinks that it sucks. Iono wat he's smokin but I want no part of it lol. In my opinion Kanye has reached a peak creativity wise, and he is gonna have a hard time out doin this shit. Its just that hot and that genius. Yea he uses auto-tune but not in the same way that a T-Pain, or Lil Wayne, would do. He uses it to mask emotion but convey it in a more robotic way (if that makes anytype of sense) lol. Basically if u dont like that album u dont like music! STR8 UP!! Until next time!! Happy Holidays!!!
