O Le Do It, Hey..
Well, you know, it's Game Day and what not.. I aint go get no shots up this morning partly due to the fact that I aint wanna wake up.. Just finished going through this study guide for this Midterm on Tuesday for this Rhetoric and Social Controversy.. I basically don't know anything that's going on in that class, mainly cuz I don't pay attention.. And we got that ever so present "I wanna interrupt the teacher all the time, and go off on tangents with my comments and questions and remarks" type of guy in my class.. My classmates hate that guy, hahaha, it's hilarious to me.. Every time he speaks its like a unison of "damn why is this guy talking again" looks.. You can find me in the same boat, or playing one of the apps on my phone.. But, besides that, I don't even have the book, and the test is short answer based on the readings.. Hahhaha.. This is going to be very interesting to say the least.. I'm low key confident at the same time tho, for reasons I am unaware of.. Maybe it's naive-ness.. We shall see tho..
Prior to this studying, I found myself lost on the net, as usual.. Stumbled upon Lupe Fiascos website and started peeping some of his videos.. My likness of the guys music just jumped even higher on the scale, especially when I seen the freestyle he kicked in NY for about 7 minutes.. Not like the traditional freestyle, more along the lines of spoken word, without the uplifting factor, per se.. Watched some interviews as well.. Pretty coo stuff.. At first I seen the tracklist only had 9 tracks, which had me a lil heated, ahahha.. Peeped KillerHipHop.com and seen that there is actually 12 songs, which is still not a lot, but I'm pretty sure it'll be dope.. My mans hit me on Twitter talking bout I should get the Wiz and Wayne cd's when they drop.. And that's where we finna take it..
You peoples obsessions (spellchecked by BAY) with these guys baffles me.. Wayne is dope, I can't stunt, but people think dudes rhymes are beyond deep.. I can understand what this guy says most of the time on the first listen or maybe 2.. I'm not saying he's not tight just cuz he aint deep like that, but that's just the type of music I enjoy.. But I just dont like when folks be like dude is "deep", or his "swag" is tight.. I don't care about no one swag cuz.. And this Wiz guy done got people messed up.. Like Wayne started making mad people get tattoos a year or two ago, Wiz done got everyone and they Moms smoking.. Like you aint coo just cuz you smoke, ahhaha.. I mean, if you choose to smoke, go head, but to smoke or do anything just cuz a famous person does it is quite lame to me.. Shoulder shrug tho, cuz thats yall peoples lives.. But back to the cd's.. I decided I won't purchase Wiz cd most likely because I don't want to.. I like the way dude flows, but his content don't really tickle my fancy (yep, i used it).. The Wayne tho, might get a purchase from the kid, he usually has some decent cuts.. I'll mos def cop this Slaughterhouse joint this Tuesday on the 8th tho with my newfound likeness of Joell Ortiz (shouts out to B for putting me on) and Joe Budden (thanks to Mood Muzik 4 and Ordinary Love pt 1).. That cd hopefully will be tight..
I got a grip of cd's/mixtapes I gotta peep tho.. Talib Kweli, Neyo, this guy Tiron just to name a few..
And this guy Trey Songz murdered this got dern Look At Me Now song.. Sheesh.. Hahahha..
We outta here at 345 for some Pregame meal at Sizzler, got Pomona at Pomona tonight at 730.. If you roun here, come through.. Eagles Up..
Spinnin back: John Legend & The Roots - Shine..
I'll get back later possibly (maybe I'm telling the Truth this time).. Til then, Peace Love & Soul..

ReplyDeleteAs i sat here and read, i feel you on the deep music. On the topic of Wayne, To me personally the Carter II is my favorite album, waynes album, whatever haha. But i say this because, his lyrical content was of life itself. I mean that album is just so dope to me. With the likes of Tha Mob, Mo fire, Hustlers Musik, and Get over, were just deep lyrical content, of simple aspects of life, well his life. I cherish/enjoy music like that. The swag aint gon make me like the album, and I hate buying or putting effort into anything based of hype and anticipation alone. I never really was a fan of Lupe personally, i mean i listen to his music occasasionally, but i just realized how dope he really is. Not that i was hatin on em, or now i wanna be a "Lupe" fan now,, but deservably so hes on my pod now, haha. I always felt i was alone in the category of deep music, i mean i got my "hood" music and beat bangerz, but my utlimate choice is that real music, that music you gotta listen to more than once like you said. I always viewed music as a form of giving yourself to the world but with the intent of gaining self worth. I mean thats what i feel im here for, the more you put out in this world or "give" the more you learn from or about yourself. People dont cherish music, lyrics, or the guitar or violin in the background like us. Em said it best "Its about a hot beat"...keep spittin that knowledge, i see ya.
