polyphony.

dude, would you just focus? please

yeah, seriously.

like i said, i'm getting ready to head back to school. what can i say, i have a penchant for anachronism. it's in the blood. january cuz. and i'm doing everything i have to to get my ass back where it needs to be.

this is going to be a period of reformation for me. fuck this silly shit i've been perpetuating. like, this whole year has been really unimaginably godawful. so i'ma make changes where i can. i rapped with this 16y/o from Sudan yesterday.. she's going thru the same shit i was when i was 16, only she's intelligent enough to want to do something about it now.

i gave her the fucking spiel of her life, yo. word. because that's serious business. in all it's rudiments, it's essentially the same speech i gave my sister over the summer. these kids in high school have to get commited now to doing shit for themselves, because life is a bitch post secondary. believe me. people start looking at you like a responsible person, they wanna charge you for fucking breathing, your parents start acting like they forgot about you, and if you haven't made inroads to get up on the good foot, hell, you'll be stuck in years of lame dumbshit. believe me, i know.

*i* KNOW.

i told her that. i hope she took it to heart, because if you work hard enough, your 20s can be the best time of your life. i still have somewhat of an opportunity to enjoy this shit. i'm goinig to try my best to.

*sigh*

lol.. i made my first beat last nite. it was really really bad, but the sample i'm using, (sAk, holla if you hear me) is dope on so many levels. shouts out to kenny gamble and leon huff, philly international rekkids and the whole iiladelph massive.

we doin this.

i took apart my first drum sample too. i can't remember exactly what it was from, i think it was a bernard purdie joint ( i like his shit better than idris muhammads')...

yeah. it was purdie. a joint he did with shirley scott. dope. stretched out the waveform in some audio editing program i grabbed from cnet.com, to where i could see the exact point of attack and decay of each drum sound, saved em seperately as .wavs and threw em in fruityloops.

SO much better than those shitty native samples, people. y'all ain't hearing me.

so, i'm thinking my dopeness is a given. *shrug* confidence and shit. gimme a month of putting in work on this bitch. it's over.

oh yeah, and jaco pastorius is the truth. my god.

hmmm. women still crack me up. y'all dope as shit, but y'all crack me the fuck up.

i need a website. i need my own line. i need a car. i need some money.

all in due time, though. right now, it's beats, rhymes, and everyday life.

got an interview today, and of all the wonderful employers who took the time out to actually call me back, this particular one is sounding the most promising.

here's to hope.

chea.

no more bullshit? i thinks not. let's make it happen.
