Moment of Silence.

Wanted to send my prayers to my dude Scooby, and his family for their loss. "Uncle Mike" will be missed forever.

Im sorry I couldnt make it to the funeral, I didnt think Dan was coming, it was 10:48am when I finally got word from Dan, and the funeral started at 11. If that makes me a bad friend/person, Im truly sorry.

Cribs or How I'm Livin??

OMG!!! IM TRYNA TRACK DOWN POKEMON YELLOW VERSION FOR GAMEBOY, AND I CANT FIND IT!!!

whatever.

Ky, good talk. To fill everybody in, Ky asked me if I, heard Pharrell's perspective on the two types of people in the world. P said that, "its two types of people in the world, people like me and people like Kanye, meaning that people like him do music, and thats what they love without the intention of being a star, people like Kanye do music KNOWING they're going to be extremely successful"

That made me think.. If that's the case then Im more Pharrell then Ye', but I still have ambitions to be as huge as Ye'. Ky on the other hand, is more Ye' than Ye' lol. I've never seen anybody as driven as he is, as a producer or artist. Dude is focused. Whats dope is, he's not settling for mediocre success. Neither am I. Although Im just happy with people listening and enjoying my music, because once everybody feels your music, then material success falls in line with that, if you're smart about things, and aware that this is a business. It shouldn't be but it is, and honestly who wants to be known as the most musically talented homeless guy? Money isn't everything, but it is a necessity for survival.

What the hook gonna be?

I dont need no fuckin hook on this post..lol.

Babygirl's snoring behind me..lol. Hella tired rite now, getting used to it though. Today was funny, Colin and Spittah good talk. I think Colin is the only guy I've EVER met that knows what he's doing in the industry, what I cant fathom is...what is he doing is Grand Rapids, MI...good for me, bad for him..whatever. Closing in on the show on the 23rd..still a huge maybe. Laid some background vocals for Spittah, no recording for my project yet..whatever. My dude Peez hit me up for a collab, big ups to him and Freck(Fab whats good?)..OMG I've never been so deprived of beats in my life..I need to write something new...NEED MUSIC ::starts foaming at the mouth, and shaking violently::...okay, im good.

Ever wonder why I use so many ellipses(ellipses = ...) in my posts..::whispers:: Im literally writing my thoughts, in all its randomness...whatever, its my blog. IYDLI = BLOW ME!!
btw IYDLI=If You Dont Like It

been on twitter alot lately, especially when Im hella bored. Like now.

Sometimes I wonder as I listen to guys in the industry with deals/budgets/promotion/marketing/etc., am I that good....or is everyone not working that hard?? Sounds cocky, but its not, sort of. Its really a serious inquiry..

Somebody get back to me with that answer..

No place like London..

(as from wikipedia)
In Stephen Sondheim's 1979 stage musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, based on the 1973 play of the same name by Christopher Bond, Todd is reinvented as a tragic character driven by revenge rather than greed and whose real name is Benjamin Barker.

Benjamin Barker was a middle class barber, married to Lucy Barker with an infant daughter Johanna. The villainous and lecherous Judge Turpin wanted Lucy for himself and had Barker arrested on false charges and transported for life to Australia. The play begins 15 years later, when the barber has returned to London, completely transformed by his experiences: “That man is dead. It’s Todd now. Sweeney Todd.” Mrs. Lovett, a widow, owns the spectacularly unsuccessful meat pie shop below Todd’s old home. Mrs. Lovett recognises her former neighbour and tells Todd that Lucy poisoned herself after Turpin raped her, and that Turpin adopted baby Johanna as his ward. By the time Todd returns to London, Johanna has become a young woman and falls in love with a sailor, Anthony, with whom she plans to elope.

In the Sondheim musical, Mrs. Lovett takes in an orphan boy, Tobias Ragg, after Sweeney kills Toby's previous master, Adolfo Pirelli, a former assistant of Todd who tries to blackmail Todd by revealing his true identity (it was a capital crime for a "lifer" to return to England). After Turpin escapes his grasp, Todd swears revenge upon the entire world, resolving to kill as many people as he can; Mrs. Lovett then suggests they turn his victims' remains into pies. Mrs. Lovett's pie shop becomes incredibly successful.

In the musical's climactic scene, Todd finally kills Judge Turpin, as well as a deranged and purportedly old beggar woman — who turns out to be none other than Lucy, Todd's long-lost wife. When Mrs. Lovett confesses that she didn't tell him Lucy was still alive because she loves him, he throws her into the roaring bake oven. As Todd grieves over his wife's body, Toby, enraged after discovering the secret of the meat pies and Sweeney's murder of Mrs. Lovett (whom he loved like a mother), sneaks up behind him and slashes Todd's throat with Todd's own razor. Todd dies with his wife's body in his arms.

I am rap's Sweeney Todd. My London is the industry, and my Lucy, is what Hip Hop used to be, and what I always dreamed of accomplishing. I just hope that Im not driven on success so much so, that I'll kill my dream before accomplishing it. Johanna is my first album, and what it'll mean to me....

damn, as charles would put it i'm....pleasantly overthinking.

more on my Sweeney Todd mono later.

"Lasers"

New joint being released next week =]

Mad excited about it..

INSIGHT...

its featuring my home-dog(lol) Kysean. My dude The Jazz did the composition.. It was originally titled "Mr. Money" but while going in to the studio, that just didnt feel right.. I honestly thought it would be kinda lame of me.. So I wanted to keep it original, scrapped my pre-written hook, and wrote a fresh one, and I thought Kysean would be better on the hook than me, so I had him lay the hook down.. It was my first time working with a new engineer, shout to Colin. Kinda pissed he's moving to L.A. like, hella soon..

Its the first joint on my upcoming project, "The Uber". Kinda on some braggadocious(if thats how you spell it) shit.. I felt I needed to do a joint that let people know I wasn't dead yet..In a way.. hmmm...
