Post #200

This is very monumental. Actually it’s not. It’s just post #200.

Congrats to Uncle Charlie Wilson. I think two weeks ago I posted that his album will be in stores, don’t know if any of you actually went and bought it but regardless he had the number 1 album on the Billboard Charts. That man makes some of the smoothest music ever.

Speaking of making music. When I first started to make songs I used to never write my stuff down. You know how most rappers say they do that just because Jay-Z and Lil Wayne make it seem so cool? That’s not me. There’s really nothing so cool about it. It’s just a technique that works better for some. The benefit is that it frees up your delivery. Music wise I’m my biggest critic and every time I write a song and read when I record it, I literally want to kill myself. You can hear the split second hesitation in the delivery, the uncertainty of what word comes next, and all kinds of other technicalities. However when I develop it in my head and record straight off memory, the songs usually turn out great. Think of it as driving out of town and having to look down at a map as opposed to someone who is from that town and has mastered the roads. The person that’s mastered the roads will be able to just cruise and drive freely with no hesitation or anything. So even though I’m not full time recording anymore, whenever I do, I’m going back to my old style of memorizing as opposed to writing.

Had to scold Simone Carlene on Twitter the other day. There’s already a shortage of people who offer a unique perspective on things, can’t have the few that still do it taking hiatuses.

Speaking of Twitter. What a fun place. I like it because although it’s addictive, it’s really not time consuming. If you read and write at even a 7th grade level you can Tweet all day and still live your normal life. It’s not like Myspace or Facebook where actual time has to be invested in it. The most fun part for me is that it allows me to freely study human psychology like none other. I mean it should be illegal. It’s high school all over again, except worse. People catch feelings, fall in and out of love, argue, back stab, tell lies and all types of stuff. That’s the negative. On the positive side there’s lots of laughs to share and good networking to be done. It sort of cuts out the middle man between fans and their favorite celebs. No need to read a press release about Rapper X’s show when Rapper X is tweeting all about it live from backstage. Also it let’s you see how cool some people are. Example being Solange Knowles. I always thought she was a bit funny style but I was way off. If you read her Twitter you’ll see that she’s a real cool person that’s misunderstood by the media.

Randomly ran into Audra at the club Friday night. Kids these days.

March 1st was a dreaded sports day. Shaq got the best of Kobe, my Lakers lost, Lebron won, just awful.

It’s snowing outside I’m not in the mood so Music Mondays is cancelled.
