I guess im the first to reply to your blog...i checked out your songs...you got alot of potential man...alot of the concepts though....not really all that groundbreaking...the beats are pretty good...just some advice...spit some other concepts besides being strapped with the gat and slanging them thangs dude..its a big world out there and theres alot more stuff going on...you got some lyrics with you dude...you just need to broaden ya scope of material...cause honestally everything that you've said has been said by every other so-called hustler out there...this not a diss just some advice from a cat thats been in the game a bit longer and like i said i see some potential in you dude....nuff respect for ya grind though homie
There are a lot of strong points in your posts. I agree that I have yet to make a truely "ground breaking" song...I am my harshest critic. However, I am extremely creative lyrically, and one of the best doing what Im doing. As far as me rapping about "straps and slanging," I disagree to a certain extent. Only "Pac Man" & "Feeling Me" really fit that category. I challenge you to go back and listen to "Street Dreaming", "Time To Get It On," and "Time On My Hands"...There is a bigger message...Those tracks actually speak on my life experiences and DO NOT GLORIFY the street life. "Street Dreaming" was inspired by broken dreams and the desire to achieve the American Dream while detailing the struggles of my environment...It speaks more to the conflict we encounter everyday as young black americans. "Time To Get It On" is similar and I discuss going off to college but being surrounded by negative influences when I return home.
Street Dreaming Intro
Living in this cold world where we fear for our lives
And never shed a tear but we cry inside
Imma take yours cause you'd probably take mine
Its an eye for an eye so we walk around blind
And the only ones who suffer is the people
History is sorta like a preview
If you dont know it then you doomed for the sequel
I believe all artists have to be socially responsible. & I ALWAYS inform my younger fanbase that this is JUST ENTERTAINMENT...Much like an actor playing his part in movies! Dont believe what these rappers are telling you. Including ME. I definetely would love to see more young people (especially inner city youth) express interest in pursuing entrepreunerships and careers that benefit society. Its definetely time for my people to become more influential in politics and corporate America. So I will try to address those issues in upcoming tracks.
Id also like to add I am expanding my material but art imitates life...Just this summer Ive seen two people around the hood shot down, two stabbed up, 8 get major time, 2 car jacked, and several others assaulted. But yeah your right, there is a lot of other stuff I should touch on. But Im always growing as an artists. But yeah Check me out again fammo...
Last verse to Street Dreaming...
Every evening I lay myself down for sleeping, Im street dreaming
Seeking freedom in a fallen kingdom swallowed by demons
Followed by hollow souls singing
In church any Sunday like Willie Beamon
If you see what I see you should see we deceived
Cause we on the wrong track like a really bad weave
I cant agree money dont grow on a tree
Its the root of all evil we planted the seeds
You know what man...i actually went back and peeped your joints and i gotta say man.....you really do have some shit with you baby pa.....you know the more i start to build with emcees from other places im starting to see the variations of styles and i want you to know that...if you ever wanna build on some shit i got ya back man..cause like i said earlier from what i hear you are a bit different from these other little knuckleheads out here trying to do this...i just wanna see what you can do if you bounce away from the block for a minute and take your flow somewhere else....hit me up sometime ill get a track from one of my mans and we can make that happen aight cat?
4 sho 4 sho...Im always willing to try something new...Gotta have versatility. Im down. I love working with othere MC's that bring a different element...It always end up bettering my game.
Thats some pretty thoughtful material, bruh. Enough to make me you check out some more. I applaud you. Keep stretchin' your mind to create thought provoking content. Peace and Blessings!
