Back To Whore Ryan

May 31, 2008

The chick prove to me she wasn’t the one.
It reminds me of these lines from “Rocket Ship”, by Stevie Wonder:

“You took me riding in your rocket gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
down to this cold, cold world”

Ah well….maybe the next one will be true, right ? ……Maybe not though.

Fairweather Friends

“But we just talk about the people we’ve met in the last five years
And will we remember them in ten more?”- Ben Gibbard

It’s a time to figure this. People these days seem so so more distant because of all of this technology growing. I love the material, but it always seperates us furthur. Thinking we’re gonna always keep in touch or Myspace or on the cell, but then we suddenly stop and go on with a bunch of other people that we’ll be lucky if we know for two months.

My brother, Jamal’s mom always say to always keep the close friends close. I think i’m achieving that. This year makes about 4 years i’ve known J and we’re about to become roomates, so that evidently will make a longlasting friendship. Others seem to fade though as ominous signs occur. I thank God for that though. That just leaves more unimportant people out of my life. All I need are close family, my actual best friends and my girlfriend. I’ll be fine.

On A Verge Of Buying These

May 24, 2008

Those who are close to me know I love “grown” sneakers. I’m not an absolute fan of the loud colors and ridiculous designs anymore. I just love sneakers that have such a great design, that i’d still wear them if I was in my forties (Cough, Mister Rogers). That’s why i’m addicted to Birkenstocks, Louis Vuitton Sneakers, Moccasins and (of course) Vans. I’m just in a little financial slump now, saving for a new system for my upcoming Lexus and getting ready to get my apartment in Virginia Beach. But hopefully a great soul will bless me with these and a pair of moccasin Vans……a guy can dream, right ?

New, News About My Mixtape

May 24, 2008

There has been a tiny delay in the mixtape, because of the producers wanted to make this mixtape. I was just about close to have a couple of tracks be jacked beats, but I decided to keep it simply with my in house producers, and make my sweetest cup of tea that way. I’ve added two great producers of the name of Lo and Hijrah Femci. They’re two of the most talented and patient people I work with  today. They understand when this music thing dosen’t pay, it’s hard to focus your entire life on it. I love them for that. The one bonus track will borrow Black Star’s Brown Skin Lady record, though. There has been lyrics adjusted and tracks added on. I think i’ll be satisfied enough for this free release to be out by the end of May, which is just about the end of next week. If it dosen’t hit then, then expect it to be out the first week of June. I know i’m the king of delay, but you all will see progress soon. This will make it in time for you to have the top of your convertible down at night, just speeding in the air on the highway, not knowing where in the world you are going.

The FINAL tracklist is as follows:

1. Plums (Mastered Version) (Produced By Portformat)

2. Topanga (Produced By JoBE)

3. Prom Night (Produced By JoBE)

4. Humidifier (Produced By scabieFACE)

5. Tony Montana Laughing In A Bubble Bath (Produced By Butter)

6. Flamingo In A Lion’s Den (Produced By Lo)

7. If Words Murdered… (Produced By Hijrah Femci)

8. Topanga Pt. Dos (Produced By C-Minor)

(Bonus) Brown Skin Lady Freestyle

GOD, I Love Being From Virginia Beach

May 14, 2008

This new video by N*E*R*D video for their single, “Everyone Nose” reminds me of how much of a fool I used to act back when I was there. Harrassing girls at the beach and getting numbers and meaningless realtionships at night, dancing to crazy ass music. Ha Ha, have you guys ever heard of liquor Slurpies ? I’m getting homesick.
Ah well. I’m moving back there soon anyway with my Siamese brother, J.
Can’t wait for that shit and I can’t wait until this album drops.

Peace!

Guess What…She Was The One.

Cup Of Tea Mixtape

May 2, 2008

As i’m chilled, listening to The Postal Service, I give you up to date information of my upcoming mixtape before the EP, Have My Cake & Eat It Too. You all know the title of it by now named, Cup of Tea. The basis of this title is from me feeling as though i’m a top artist of great organic Hip-Hop, and how doing it is a simple cup of tea. In reality it isn’t though. You have to go through the bullshit of some producers trying to be under the rader and still eat from their beats, instead of make names for themselves by spreading their sounds across as many emcees they can for free. But I can understand how some producers work though. That though was the hardest task for me making up this mixtape. I wanted all original production, which I ended up getting and topics that I simply just had on my chest and I wanted to dust it off to you, the fans. I also feel as though the EP isn’t ready to be recorded. It’s still in the skeletal phase because of how I work. All the lyrics are done, but production is one thing i’m pondering on aswell as the way lyrics are. That project will be released though. It’s just a true musical gift that I want to have get my name out there and I don’t want to give out bullshit. So to keep a promise of a May release, I give you a May mixtape. Once again, it’s all original production. The Producers are: JoBE,  C-Minor, scabieFACE, Butter and Portformat. I feel as though this mixtape can be thought of as an EP, as decisive as it sounds and is arranged. The mixtape is done with all the lyrics, except one; which will be finished this weekend. Expect for me to begin recording this week coming up. The release of this mixtape will be the third week of May. The release will also be a free one, so I hope that makes everyone happy aswell. Because I did cover art with this mixtape, if anyone wants a physical copy, it’ll be $2.00. So i’m trying y’all, but not EVERYTHING is for free.But for those freeloaders that’ll just get the free download, I hope it’s to your liking. The tracklisting is as follows:

1. Plums (Mastered Version) (Produced By Portformat)

2. Topanga (Produced By JoBE)

3. Prom Night (Produced By JoBE)

4. Humidifier (Produced By Butter)

5. Tony Montana Laughing In A Bubble Bath (Produced By scabieFACE)

6. Topanga Pt. Dos (Produced By C-Minor)
