There's also a Sean Price show tonite as well as Mayweather rematch with Sugar Shane Moseley. Also some good folks in town, but this is a positive weekend to start thinking about Summer and stacking.

Dame is an influence on me I can honestly say. YUP! Asshole because he's so adamant and passionate about his interests. I can relate. Aggressive to the point it's frightening to some. Again, I can relate. Saw two interesting articles you need to check.

Not to many artists seeing her.....at all. The freedom and depth of expression set her apart on a whole other level. It's about message and artistry. I really wish our Industry wasn't so soft and dickrider based and political, even Puritanical. We have the means to do it but no one wants to ruffle any feathers for fear of not being invited to the party and be able to tell tales of all the metrosex cats they got a chance to "hobnob" with. Part of the reason I'm kept on the outskirts and negative things are said about me is because I look at folks the same and I'm never overly excited to meet folks. Some people are insulted when you don't kiss their feet and you look at them directly in their eyes. It reminds them that at the end of the day there are folks out there who don't give a fuck about whatever their selling and it makes em uncomfortable. You either a yes man or a yes maaaam! or your ignorant and deemed someone not worthy of their presence. You don't know how many faces I've laughed in Loooolz when folks expected me to be blown away by meeting them.

Yes I'm still expanding until I build up to the MarcusRespekt.com or something along those lines of that nature. I can't put my creativity into a box.<br /><br />So many different interests and a hunger for more. I have a really amazing summer planned. Lots of getting fresh and traveling. Been soaking up alot of gems and the 1 I want to spread to you is that YOU are your content. YOU are your commodity. Once you realize your worth you can start charging appropriately. I'm blessed because alot of other blooggggers(or beams of light and thought bearers of collective consciousness) feel my wavelength and the ideas I bring forth. Dunno why, but it's a good feeling to inspire those folks I'm inspired by. Now it's about synthesizing appropriately. Some of y'all have been keeping up with me for a while. You've seen some sort of growth I hope. My Twitter page has usurped this particular blog, but it has given birth to the tumblr page above you. It's actually a more compact version of here. I don't have to get too wordy, and I can incorporate my photography alot more. It's getting me better at this actually. Again, I'm one of those rare cases of a dude who has actually been in the culture, street level, artist level, managing level, style level,journalist level, performer level. Not too many bloggers actually have that type of experience. They speak from the point of view as strictly fan/critic who have no experience hands on with the culture. That is one of the reasons I try to push thru and spread the word and maintain my relevance. Unfortunately I'm in the minority as far as my voice is concerned. Most people in power don't want to see a dude like myself get thru because their power becomes limited. Who is going to listen to some geek who was never hands on with the culture, but has a popular site because they have become a hub for artists who are confused as to how to use this new medium? I'm dangerous because of my standards and ethics and experience.

Newly refreshed and recharged. I have decided to pick up the pen and let everyone(myself included) on the new direction. When I say that I am many things to many different people, I mean it. I found myself getting a little burned out and crossing my wires. I had wanted to contribute some good things over at Daily Math.com and so I decided to direct most of my energy over there to show and prove. It was an honor to be selected.....anyone who knows how far CJ goes with his writing, knows that it is a beast to keep up with him....... I still feel like I stepped up to the plate fully, but putting some stresses on myself may have held back my pen a little bit as I took some time to find voice and direction. I ended up just saying fuck it and staying in my lane and not forcing it. I'm still a collaborator, but I wanted to make sure that I also nurtured The Winner Circles and my other endeavors.<br /><br />Mentally I operate as an artist. I think of the concept, work on a cover and then I complete and materialize it. This is a gift of mine. The curse is that it is not constant. I have to be inspired. When I am inspired, I feel like I'm one of the best at anything I put my mind to. No QUESTION. I see it, I want it, I get it!!!! I definitely make it happen, when I get off my ass. My new goals are somewhat immense. Peep. I'm still a contributor t some of your favorite blogs, I'm still getting a great amount of respect from those I respect and I'm generally in good health and spirits. Just typing this now is a blessing. No images right now, I'm on 1.<br /><br />I plan to jump off an all inclusive dot com within the next few months. To those who know me. I mean really know me. You know I have different personas spread throughout these internets.....I have different monikers on every social media platform. A different myspace,facebook,ebay,twitter,tumblr as well as different names on these blogs I contribute to and support. MY SITE will consolidate all of these things. It has come a time to truly concentrate my energies and give you my pure feelings and expressions. My main goal this whole time was to experiment and see if it would be viable. My voice has been recognized, appreciated and respected from many of my peers. I feel as though it is time for me to fully immerse myself and share with everyone equally. WHO AM I? I am simply a black kid who grew up into a man and had some pretty good experiences which helped shape my outlook on this world. I am a man with aspirations to be greater only because I know I can be.<br /><br />I also hope to totally become independent. I have been working on some entertaining podcasts, some original music, doing interviews with other artists and tying everything together in one little pill. I have just laid out everything in front of you. Now I ask that you tune in and see where it is going to.<br /><br />Shouts out to a few blogs who provide constant inspiration. These sites have all fueled this one in some way or another, I appreciate all they've done for the kid.<br /><br />dallaspenn.com<br />daily-math.com<br />mickeymclfy.com<br />ohthatvixen.blogspot.com<br />nerdathecooltable.com<br />dreamandhustle.com<br />junglejem45.blogspot.com<br />thegrittycommittee.com<br />poisonousparagraphs.comMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-49869085009199132302010-01-05T19:56:00.000-08:002010-01-05T20:17:50.866-08:00AH HAI was gonna leave this 1..........Dear John letter shit.....but, I owe more to those who actually read this blog and enjoy it. Where have I been? Yeah as you can tell I been in flux for a while. I been grinding working as a Vid tech early in the am, streaming video from all over the world. I've been recording/producing expressing my art and staying creative. I've been travelling, I've been working on my home and I've been planning and networking for the future. Now to some, that won't seem like alot on the plate, but mix all that in with keeping the daily stresses and struggles at bay and keeping ones self healthy. I have been getting lazy with wanting to even dedicate the time to blogging. I have a ton of pics from my latest travels that may or may not see the light of day in this format. I just haven't been feeling giving people myself/thoughts/etc. I've been feeling like holding more for delf and being selfish. Not to say I am selfish, but as a creative person and "true" artist who paints life's canvas I honestly don't always feel inspired.<br /><br />Some pretty great things have happened lately.<br /><br />I got a chance to go up top and see a lot of friends I grew up with from like 6 years old. I got a chance to reconnect with family and further center myself. I released another free download project in 2009 which has been getting alot of positive feedback from those who took time and listened. I got to meet personally some folks I have only known online. I also have been presented with new opportunities.<br /><br />I'm looking at doing some more work with this music and expanding the catalogue. I love the culture so this is more labor of love as opposed to business.<br /><br />I'm guiding the brilliant direction of those others around me. Broady International, focusing on my company 4th Eye Media LLC and continuing to help with the expansion of www.thegrittycommittee.com <-Please if u follow me here, follow me over there and support that movement.<br /><br />I've been invited to contribute to 1 of the fastest growing and hottest blogs around " Combat Jack's Daily Math http://daily-math.com/weblog/ <- Please check me and the other brilliant writers over there as well. Huge potential for that movement.<br /><br />I plan on going back and furthering education by obtaining a cert for Networking( hey now in the present is when you handle the future)<br /><br />Plotting more travel and expression and making my mark. Thanks for your taking time to come and visit this blog. The funny thing about this blog was that it was just my practice to get the Gritty Committee off the ground. I never intended to be here as much as I was. I just got into a groove and truly enjoyed the outlet. I may eventually revitalize this place with new energy, but my plate has been extra full. Expect some of the classic posts and some of the favorites to reappear at either Daily Math or the Gritty.....Hey no need to waste any good posts that maybe only 6 or 7 people saw....lolz.....<br /><br />oh yeah as always I'm on twitter. Thanx for giving me a few seconds of your time. The positive reinforcement also helped push me further than I could have imagined.Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-84697327120211882392009-12-23T03:27:00.000-08:002009-12-23T03:40:55.064-08:00WERD!Back from Illadelph, yes I got caught in the Tundra last weekend.............Fun to see the fam up there and build.

When it comes to maintaining your car, misconceptions abound. And even the best intentions can lead you to spend more money than necessary or even compromise your safety. Here are common myths that can do more harm than good:<br /><br />Myth: Engine oil should be changed every 3,000 miles. <br />Reality: Despite what oil companies and quick-lube shops often claim, it's usually not necessary. Stick to the service intervals in your car's owner's manual. Under normal driving conditions, most vehicles are designed to go 7,500 miles or more between oil changes. Changing oil more often doesn't hurt the engine, but it can cost you a lot of extra money. Automakers often recommend 3,000-mile intervals for severe driving conditions, such as constant stop-and-go driving, frequent trailer-towing, mountainous terrain, or dusty conditions.<br /><br />Myth: Inflate tires to the pressure shown on the tire's sidewall. <br />Reality: The pounds-per-square-inch figure on the side of the tire is the maximum pressure that the tire can safely hold, not the automaker's recommended pressure, which provides the best balance of braking, handling, gas mileage, and ride comfort. That figure is usually found on a doorjamb sticker, in the glove box, or on the fuel-filler door. Perform a monthly pressure check when tires are cold or after the car has been parked for a few hours.<br /><br />Myth: If the brake fluid is low, topping it off will fix the problem.<br />Reality: As brake pads wear, the level in the brake-fluid reservoir drops a bit. That helps you monitor brake wear. If the fluid level drops to or below the Low mark on the reservoir, then either your brakes are worn out or fluid is leaking. Either way, get the brake system serviced immediately. You should also get a routine brake inspection when you rotate the tires, about every 6,000 to 7,000 miles.<br /><br />Myth: If regular-grade fuel is good, premium must be better.<br />Reality: Most vehicles run just fine on regular-grade (87 octane) fuel. Using premium in these cars won't hurt, but it won't improve performance, either. A higher-octane number simply means that the fuel is less prone to pre-ignition problems, so it's often specified for hotter running, high-compression engines. So if your car is designed for 87-octane fuel, don't waste money on premium.<br /><br />Myth: Flush the coolant with every oil change.<br />Reality: Radiator coolant doesn't need to be replaced very often. Most owner's manuals recommend changing the coolant every five years or 60,000 miles. Of course, if the level in the coolant reservoir is chronically low, check for a leak and get service as soon as possible.<br /><br />Myth: After a jump-start, your car will soon recharge the battery.<br />Reality: It could take hours of driving to restore a battery's full charge, especially in the winter. That's because power accessories, such as heated seats, draw so much electricity that in some cars the alternator has little left over to recharge a run-down battery. A"load test" at a service station can determine whether the battery can still hold a charge. If so, some hours on a battery charger might be needed to revive the battery to its full potential.<br /><br />Myth: Let your engine warm up for several minutes before driving.<br />Reality: That might have been good advice for yesteryear's cars but is less so today. Modern engines warm up more quickly when they're driven. And the sooner they warm up, the sooner they reach maximum efficiency and deliver the best fuel economy and performance. But don't rev the engine high over the first few miles while it's warming up.<br /><br />Myth: A dealership must perform regular maintenance to keep your car's factory warranty valid.<br />Reality: As long as the maintenance items specified in the vehicle owner's manual are performed on schedule, the work can be done at any auto-repair shop. If you're knowledgeable, you can even do the work yourself. Just keep accurate records and receipts to back you up in case of a warranty dispute on a future repair.<br /><br />Myth: Dishwashing and laundry detergents make a good car wash.<br />Reality: Detergent can strip off a car's wax finish. Instead, use a car-wash liquid, which is formulated to clean without removing wax.Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-56150277867179930392009-12-07T05:29:00.000-08:002009-12-07T05:38:39.007-08:00A sad stateThis is one of the reasons why I tell the kids and aspiring artists to have a solid foundation before they start "dreaming" about music. Especially in this digital age where physical product isn't selling just off the merit of it being dope. Even indie groups who make their living on the road are having a time of it keeping up their lifestyle. Notice how many multi-multi millionaires you see in the industry working like they have $20 in their bank accounts and freezing out new talent or competition unless they are directly affiliated with the artist, and even then, the artist is still going to have to wait on the premier artist to want to give up some of the ever addictive limelight or shine. I was a fan of G-Dep because I could feel the streets in his flow. The grilch that comes from sharpening swords in the streets and not in a home studio. His pre diddy mixtape appearances made me a believer. His bad boy album had a few joints too, "Child of the Ghetto" in particular, but G-Dep is also an addict. His addiction is a character weakness, a destructive one. Usually fueled by fame's fleeting glance. The fame biz is one of highs and lows, Extreme High's (in St. Bart's wit Puff having menage's) to being back freestyling in front of the corner store with nowhere else to be and people not returning your phone calls. Everyone is a little bipolar, but it's things like this that will push you over the edge that you are already dangling off of.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P-BW3eD8EnA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/P-BW3eD8EnA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-76625822921814045542009-11-29T09:38:00.001-08:002009-11-29T09:38:52.985-08:00I need a Brazil trip<object width="448" height="374"><param name="movie" value="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh902dOuoQkbd7c967"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh902dOuoQkbd7c967" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" width="448" height="374"></embed></object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-61176108656830748632009-11-26T08:41:00.000-08:002009-11-26T08:43:20.561-08:00Freeze vs RhymefestRhymefest best known for helping Kanye write his raps and Freeze an artist my homie C Rayz Walz put me on to duke it out on some mc shit....enjoy<br /><embed id=VideoPlayback src=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=5028242037305793118&hl=en&fs=true style=width:400px;height:326px allowFullScreen=true allowScriptAccess=always type=application/x-shockwave-flash> </embed>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-4477857738376237792009-11-26T08:39:00.000-08:002009-11-26T08:40:25.795-08:00Griff speaking the truth again<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xK5QYWjhHEk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xK5QYWjhHEk&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-82449118195098900092009-11-26T07:25:00.000-08:002009-11-26T07:26:12.509-08:00Real ASS VS Fake AsssGood judge here....Roxy Reynolds<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2ItQ1tKLrE&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q2ItQ1tKLrE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-84498751708439335872009-11-18T18:37:00.000-08:002009-11-18T18:39:48.358-08:00Real Talk wit Snoop and X<object width="448" height="374"><param name="movie" value="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh6SdprG1YGhm3yV9w"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh6SdprG1YGhm3yV9w" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" width="448" height="374"></embed></object>

I'm cutting thru the bullshit. Been on a hell of a creative spurt of late, but with great creativity and energy comes alot of stress and exhaustion. I've been chilling but my mental energy has been drained. It's dealing with a lot of artists on different schedules. It's all good, my vision came out how I wanted and I'm thankful. I actually been laying off the web as a whole as well, limiting my internets time to reflect on stillness of mind. I was scouring the web checking out 100 sites a day, even that shit can strain your mental, reading a book a day type shit. Anyways, just checking in, feeling good cuz I got a call from my fams from Phila who been bidding and is free, and spitting!!!!! It was a strong convo....He actaully told me I been a thoro dude since back day and in this day and age, to get respect from a homie I aint spoken too in 10 yrs is real as fuck. So many fly by night folks and fake outnumber the real...so it's def a good look. <br /><br />Heres some cake<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3eOLVSpe4dc&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3eOLVSpe4dc&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xvXKkgwBsdY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xvXKkgwBsdY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2BYPuLnAscA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2BYPuLnAscA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-75585428929913780732009-11-04T17:46:00.000-08:002009-11-04T17:54:48.772-08:00Where u been atI'm here, just been wrapping this project and shillling. Been doing more and more drops at <a href="http://www.thegrittycommittee.com">THEGRITTYCOMMITTEE</a> . more up to date shit. Haven't really had the time, due to some temporal displacement because my molecules are moving more rapidly at the moment.....fell back off twittering and pretty much everything else online....I'm around but not hardbody. A few things in the works, but I'm feeling a lil burned out. I'm on sabbatical soon s tis tape is done. Back to traveling and expanding. Since I've beenlocked in at the gig and with the art my movements haven't been as O.T as the past few years. That will be changing in December. I'm back on that gristle. First Philly,then NJ, then NY then Outside US then the West.........That's the plan and I plan on sticking to it. Been working out staying chisel. The bornday is less than a month away and I feel a year younger. Been reading the Rza book, writing for delf, excercising and vibing on all the yesterdays new quintet eps.................Heres a curveball tho'.......take it away and give it up for Mr. Gary Wilson.- If you want a tone to describe my vibe........this is it.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dV3XfZeNKOo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dV3XfZeNKOo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-38791141296605609342009-10-25T11:39:00.000-07:002009-10-25T11:40:46.287-07:00the new hustleThe economy has everything depreciating except the value of gold and asscheeks.........<br /><object width="448" height="374"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshhNZUl6c1OOspmb2V6" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshhNZUl6c1OOspmb2V6" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" width="448" height="374"></embed> </object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-8318814778942057262009-10-17T13:46:00.000-07:002009-10-17T13:47:31.802-07:00In the DC area >>>>over waleI'm feeling the gutternesss over the tight jeaninessss<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W_JqIQOTqJY&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W_JqIQOTqJY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-53327862531868539172009-10-15T16:02:00.000-07:002009-10-15T19:36:15.308-07:00Me:Revisited<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/marlon8853/specs2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Aiight, whattup to my g's who follow the kid!!!!! Nothing moving but the $. Been on my heavy excercise regiment, no dranking, no smoking, just stacking.....Clearing my head of all the bullshit....Enjoying listening and reading more than spitting and speaking. I've been working on art and just gaining knowledge, same time reflecting on past losses and triumphs. I don't know what it is but shit is seeming really blase to me at the current moment. Shit just doesn't move or excite me like that. NOTHING. I'm not depressed, I'm in a good place actually, but I feel like I need a major trip. Nothing fuels me like travel and with the new gig I've undertaken I haven't really been able to jetset like I had been the last few years....I've gone to New Orleans and Florida alot, but I needs to go home, sink into that east coast vibe and fully recharge my battery. Every time I go back to the crib (Philly,NJ,NY) I soak it up fully and bottle it and take it with me and become damn near unstoppble....Not to say I can be stopped already, but we move a lil differently, vibrate at a different speed, plus I get to build wit my crimey's I ran the streets with as a youth. Sometimes u need that perspective as well. I know for a fact, I can't do uptop for longer than a week or two tho' because u start falling into routine and that is never a good thing. I remember the routine for uptop and being settled and comfortable with shit, even tho' there is always something to do and the energy is crazy...once you adapt to it, it becomes boring. Trust me I know. Now I'm a minamalist, happy to just chill in the castle with the queen and get out every once in a while, still remaining low key. Trust, I feel that alot more than my previous life of running the streets crazy and sharpening my game by talking to multiple chicks and still going out to bag more.<br /><br />Now I feel like a Jedi. One who has soaked up some wildlife and is rich with experiences on a global level. I give thanks to have lived a lifetime before the age of 20. In my 20's I did exactly what I was supposed to do as well. Take chances, go out on my own and make mistakes. Take advantage of opportunities and fully sharpen my blade. I was cool with hustlers who were in their 30's when I was 17 and 18 yrs old. I was wit a chick who was 37 when I was 18. I was in desolate hoods seeing shots pop peoples tops off and at the same time was connected in the burbs as well, being in million dollar homes.Seeing shit like red rock opium and being in the hoods where the labels on the baggies was the rep. "Yo got them Batman baggies over here", "Yo this that, choclate,skunk, afghani,hydro,Kill,Lah,etc. etc. These types of experiences allowed me to relate to folks on many different levels and being on the entertainment industry grind helped me to see through people very quickly. Even to this day, I meet the people who I admire in different professions and they always pull me to the side to build and drop jewels. I always feel good about the fact that people give me the time of day moreso than some pedestrian hi and bye shit. It shows that the energy I've harnessed still glows. Yeah, sometimes I test myself to see if I still got it. Really I don't care. It takes alot to be a dude who can bag a chick, get her wrapped up, then delete the number or throw it away quicker than it took to get it. You gotta test your discipline and set higher standards for yourself to truly be considered a champion. To the insecure, your humbleness may come across as arrogance....fuck em tho'.<br /><br />My circle gets smaller and smaller as I grow, just like how the earth looks smaller and smaller the more you blow and elevate. I'm talking about space folks.....The planet is small, the galaxy is big. I ain't got time to sweat the terrestrial small shit. I may do my lil twitter rant and move on, but trust, I don't take none of this shit serious. Humor to me is when I see straight thru folks who do take themselves too serous and scream out for attention. The music industry is full of folks who just now are starting to develop an "ego". You can tell just by how they act and carry themselves now that they have a little bit of light on them, that they were totally unaccustomed to anyone ever paying attention to them. Some people may not be able to see through it but I can and have always been able to. It's humor. Same time tho' I take it as the fact that you are supposed to laugh alot during your day and these jokers and jesters provide the fuel for that comedy.<br /><br />Nothing I love more than just sharpening the tip of my bullets, loading up and taking aim with the confidence that I'm gonna hit my mark. 1 shot 1 kill!Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411054407852455671.post-47167294488847390852009-10-12T14:15:00.000-07:002009-10-12T14:19:09.850-07:00SuperbYeah some grilchy east coast shit.

Dude has that energy in the rhymes, not just pure lyrical or just raw steeze, but that good mix of both that you need as a well rounded mc. This is an Mc's Mc.....I feel blessed to say that I've rhymed along side him before on a track......Son is a Monster and to be respected. I salute, because between his upcoming project and the Cuban Linx 2 that Rae just dropped, it aint really too much hardbody HipHop that give you that grilchy feeling. I know in my case, as a kid who holds the pen like a fucking gattling, it takes a lot to move me. You can't just say you rhyme, because nowadays who doesn't...but it's a big difference between sounding like a fan and sounding like an mc.<br /><br />Also peep the latest interview he did that I jacked from XXl.com<br />What a difference a decade makes. Back in 1996, Sean Price (then known as Ruck) was merely one-half of Boot Camp Clik’s dynamic duo Heltah Skeltah. He and partner Rock, made their mark on the game with gritty bars, hardcore beats and an unmatched chemistry. The duo was a (magnum) force together, but Sean P eventually became a movement by himself when Rock went on to a pursue a solo career outside of their label home Duck Down Records.<br /><br />Sometimes overshadowed by Rock’s heavy baritone, Sean was now able to have his voice heard loud and clear. The Brooklyn MC quickly earned critical acclaim for his string of successful solo albums (2005’s Monkey Barz and 2007’s Jesus Price Supastar) and mixtapes (2004’s Donkey Sean, Jr. and 2007’s Master P). Thanks to his consistency and continued growth as a lyricist, Sean positioned himself as the anchor artist on the Duck Down roster.<br /><br />Despite his accolades and a trio of releases on the horizon—including his Kimbo Price mixtape and Mic Tyson LP, as well as a group project with Detroit’s Guilty Simpson and Black Milk—Sean is not happy. The lyrical pugilist talks to XXLMag.com about rap retirement, how come there’ll never be a Fab 5 reunion and why a Costco job application might be in his future.<br /><br />XXLMag.com: You’re known for real unique titles for your projects. Where do the ideas come from?<br /><br />Sean Price: Just how I be feelin’ at the moment, man. I’ma ape, man—not on no monkey, Black racist shit—but I’m out there in the streets hard body. I’m more than a rapper, man. I’m out there in trenches, I’ma gorilla, so that was the whole thing behind the Donkey Sean Jr. mixtape and the Monkey Barz album. For the second go round I just felt like people thought it was a fluke so I hit them with Jesus Price Supastar because I’m the god of this hardcore shit. Then I dropped the Master P mixtape ’cause I’m the master. Now I feel like the fuckin’ game is bunoodles and I don’t really want nothin’ to do with this shit no more, but before I go out I’m going out with a bang, hence the name Kimbo Price.<br /><br />XXL: What should fan expect from the Kimbo Price mixtape?<br /><br />Sean Price: I can’t even describe it, man. I’m just rhymin’ and havin’ fun, B. I really have fun in this hip-hop shit, so you know… Actually, I don’t have fun in this hip-hop shit at all besides me going in the studio and putting these words together. So I had fun makin’ it, but after that the fun is over.<br /><br />XXL: What do you mean by that? You getting ready to retire on us?<br /><br />Sean Price: No, I’m not retiring—don’t get it twisted like I’m retiring or quitting—it’s just that, me and [Duck Down CEO] Dru Ha have talks and I’ll be like, “What can I do with this, that, and that?” Everything he told me I need to do to improve the Sean Price brand I don’t wanna do, so guess what? That means it’s time to leave.<br /><br />XXL: What exactly was he telling you to do that you weren’t feeling?<br /><br />Sean Price: I don’t even want to get into detail and expose my homie like that ’cause besides being my manager and my boss, Dru Ha’s my friend. He didn’t say nothin’ wrong to me I just don’t wanna do [industry] shit. If someone hire me to give them a verse, I’m with it and I’ma still do music but I just don’t wanna play the game. All I wanna do is rap, do a show, come home, smoke my weed, play with my kids, and fuck with my wiz—that’s it, man. I don’t wanna front like I’m somebody’s friend and I don’t wanna hang out at your fuckin’ party. I’ve been in the game too long for that.<br /><br />XXL: What’s the status of the Mic Tyson album and the Random Axe project with Guilty Simpson and Black Milk?<br /><br />Sean Price: The Random Axe project got delayed because Black made his little boo-boo and erased all my vocals. I’m not trying to throw him under the bus ’cause I didn’t even discuss it until he said it in another interview first, but he erased my vocals. I had my lyrics on my Sidekick and then I upgraded to the G1 so I’m actually rewriting all my verses. While I was reworking on Random Axe, Alchemist and Evidence started sending me some [beats] and I started working on Mic Tyson. It’s about 14 songs on that album, ’cause a fight is 12 rounds, plus the intro and outro so that’s what it’s gonna be.<br /><br />XXL: How’d you even link up with Guilty and Black in the first place?<br /><br />Sean Price: I was on tour and some dude called my man Dan Green and asked me did I want to do a song with Guilty Simpson. Me being the rap whore that I am I was like, Sure. Then, I hung up and was like, “Who the fuck is Guilty Simpson?” [Laughs]. My man had a whole bunch a Guilty Simpson shit so I listened to it on the ride to the show and was like, “Damn, this nigga’s nice.” Then we met up and it just went from that. We real good friends now.<br /><br />XXL: After a 10-year hiatus, you and Rock reunited last year for a Heltah Skeltah album. Will we hear more from y’all in the future?<br /><br />Sean Price: I don’t know. If Rock wanna do it, I’ll do it. I’ll be in the studio, I’ll rap, I’ll do my part, and then whatever happen happen.<br /><br />XXL: Does the same apply for a Fab 5 reunion with you, Rock and O.G.C.?<br /><br />Sean Price: You can forget about that Fab 5 shit, that ain’t happenin’, bruh.<br /><br />XXL: Word? Why not?<br /><br />Sean Price: ’Cause it ain’t, just straight like that. I ain’t mad at none of them—Top Dog my nigga, Louieville my nigga, Starang my brotha from another mother, but that ain’t happenin’. I can’t even get into why, but trust me, it’s not like I’m just sayin’ no and shuttin’ it down ’cause them dudes don’t wanna do it neither. We was never a group anyway. We was on Priority Records and Dru wanted to announce the new acts on the label so we did an A and B single together and it took a life of its own.<br /><br />XXL: Since you’re growing tired of the politics of the rap game what’s on the horizon for you after these releases?<br /><br />Sean Price: Next year you might find me workin’ in Costco or some shit. I’m dead ass serious, ’cause I don’t got money like that to retire and fall back on a yacht. People might say, “Yo, man, you supposed to be here and blah blah.” Yeah, I’m supposed to be but guess where I’m at? Costco. Now don’t get it twisted, I’m not starvin’ and I’m good, but I don’t give a fuck about pride. My kids can’t eat pride so as long as I take care of my family I don’t give a fuck. —Anslem SamuelMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15438490891933736354noreply@blogger.com0
