The Kid is Back 32 Years Later - did some small celebrating for the born day shouts to all the LEOS and VIRGOS
As The Weather slowly drifts into having to wear longer sleeves and jackets - Summer is a wrap and time to prepare to wrap up 2008 with a bang fall is one of the seasons i fucks wit - unfortunately BE THE JUDGE will be pushed back until mid 1st Quarter of 2009
so im back to the the beats and trying to manifest these features - and get these Ideas bubbling , during the course of the album i witnessed a few setbacks and rearranging so things can be worked out - this time has also taught me alot in preparation and what the Hip Hop world needs- a Cult Classic where you have fans believe in your idea and vision without the Machine being involved and start a mass Following all on word of mouth,and its time to give them another one
an Idea is a powerful gift we have to Gain Worldwide Appeal with Substantial Benefits
when we grow up before the Matrix Teaches us how to work their Ideas - we are given the ability to use our imagination
and create new Ideas
i know ..where am i going with this??
before i got into Music i was into Art and Sketching and Comic Book Art was my passion - going to La Guardia High School i had the opportunity of meeting some good people that had Visions and back then Hip Hop inspired us.. to paint pictures Vocally or Musically when it was still kinda in the pre-teen stages it grew with us
our Art was Hip Hop Influenced just like many facets of Culture, showing that an Idea can Grow
now with that one of my peoples from back in the school days recently dropped by the studio and showed His Idea that i think will Influence The Masses and is really Entertaining shouts to my boy Bamm
and this is his Idea
shouts to Poison Pen, Bishop Brigante, Swave and Skyzoo who all was chillin in Studio C-4 aka the New Room in Stadium Red that my boy Ariel (mix engineer,vocal producer) bout to have on Smiddash
and as we begin Fall a.k.a the Grind Season for many reasons be it with Schooling or Xmas saving or the 4th and 1st Quarter releases in music-- the beats will start being constructed and the ideas and songs will be manifested and in anticipation to the Highly Acclaimed Graphic Novel THE WATCHMEN
heres one trailer i went on

R.I.P : ISAAC HAYES
August 20, 1942 - August 10,2008
I can't say how much of a shock this weekend was...1st Bernie Mac left us and Today we Lose one of the sickest Composers/innovators of our time Isaac Hayes leaves us at the age 65 .. I have to say Issac Hayes is one of the main reasons i began Producing and Composing he gave us his soul through his music when the black community was oppressed and hopeless back in the 60s and 70s he created the Theme Music of the streets, growing up to his music since i was born through my pops countless collection of records,45s and 8 tracks (yeah 8 tracks) he inspired me to someday score films and to make elaborate hip hop compositions
his use of strings and hard drums and horns made a staple in the form of soul music - his sound was that of rhythm and blues classical funk - many Artist have sampled the works of Isaac Hayes as he embraced the Hip Hop Community and his sound will live on forever
Isaac Hayes thank you for giving us producers and artist the formula for creating Masterpieces
you'll be missed
Happy Bday in Advance you wouldve made 66

R.I.P : BERNIE MAC
October 5, 1957 - August 9, 2008
He gave this Planet 50 years of his experience, his pain, his Laughter ,his LIfe..and now that his physical is non-existent, his spirit will be here forever.
Gone too soon..i'm still shocked at this loss, Mac was sick for a lil but as we expected his Underdog persona was to come up out of the sickness and make us laugh for years to come ..for he was fighting his own battle which was unfortunately Lost this morning - when someone passes on we have to reflect on the memories and the Joy they brought into this world-
so in honor to Bernie Mac and Condolences to the Mac family here's a Tribute ...you'll be missed

who brought her fine ass friend Alusha..oh and much love to Chrissy
i enjoyed myself again and definitely will be back in a couple months to follow up on business ventures and more music
Overall there was great energy out there- Music was put on hold for a weekend- which was needed so i can return fresh and ready to make more great music -
so speaking of great music i was stumbling online and seen something kinda interesting it was Michael jackson's Demo of the song " The Girl is Mine" where he says around 2:00 mins in " don't write the song ..let the song write itself .. let everything form itself " ..which was a big Gem from one of the biggest artist of our time and from making great music for years i think we should take that advice ..instead of goin crazy to write a hook or a verse or producing a hot track ..don't think about it...let it just be -

GOOD MUSIC : CONSEQUENCE "DISPERSE"
LOCATION: NEW YORK CITY
I think when you got a vision and the right people around everything falls into place and the energy just feeds off
i remember back in the 90s when ATCQ ( A Tribe Called Quest) was making noise and the movement was electric..The Native Tongue was my shit - i mean i appreciated the art that movement brought to Hip Hop..which is sort of how the new movement of MCs is starting to develop into but its those who remain original that will lead the new school of MCs into the Echelon of Hip Hop Greats -
so as im a young dude back in mid to late 90s im into a vast array of Hip Hop..thats all i listened to all day and all night was Hip Hop - from seeing HOT 97 evolve into the station where Hip Hop Lives, from hearing Biggie 1st record on 89.9 stretch and bobbito to hearing Wu Tang Clan very 1st joint on 89.1
Hip Hop has grown ever since and has become the heart beat of music all over -
now with that said brings me to my boy Consequence - who came on the scene during the prime of Tribe Called Quest and dropped a memorable verse on "Stressed Out" - after the disbandment of ATCQ dude remained active..behind the scenes and in the right circle ..i give him much respect for staying at it and seeing his craft through ..so through the circles i've been linking with trying to link all the circles together and create a strong chain of success i was put on bout Cons through my boy Poly King who was peoples with dude and also my home girl ODESSA who is a actually making a lil noise herself..i'll get back to her in coming days
so she comes to NY and was like she was chosen to be in a video for Consequence called Breakfast of Champions which was real cutting edge vid when it comes to camera work and content
and i was like thats dope..and then after linking with Strings in the studio and also being under the same umbrella with GLC over at REVO MEDIA ..i take a call from Odessa that she doing a new Consequence vid and i should come check it out.so i come through and connect again with Strings also My boy Caleesh aka Poly King and GLC and Cons..who also directs his own vids and co-directed this one with RIk Cordero- the energy was dope and this was the outcome
