Scratching My Head
I shoot myself in the foot too much.
So Tune and I made "Champion". And I didn't want to put it out originally. I wanted to sit on it and quietly make Spideyville Unlimited.
Then Hypno leaked it. And everyone that heard it thought is was the best thing I've done so far.
And it made my head a little big.
So Coutz gave me this beat in October saying it was mine exclusively. I listened to it every now and again and eventually I get an idea for it. I decide I'm gonna make a song about my nickname Hip-Hop's Last Hope. The idea was to have me singing the hook in a lullaby type of way (in the role of my mother) and the verses would be me arguing that I have to go save the world despite all of its downfalls.
I do the track.
Now, what I should do is sit on it until the mixtape is done. Tweak what needs tweaked. The hard thing about that is with The Mind's Mixtape volume Three, I had E, Chiv, and Angel to run tracks by before I even considered them done.
I'm doing SU by myself. At least that's the plan.
What I really do is send the song to Coutz, Chiv, E, MI, and the WVRapScene message boards so I can get feedback on it. Because I as so hyped by the response to "Champion" I knew people would think this was just as hot. Cue the ego trip. lol.
The feedback has been lukewarm at best.
So just to reiterate, I really would like to keep SU under wraps until all 14 tracks are completed. Really. I just hope my ego and my need for attention will allow that to happen.
Tomorrow I'm off so I think I'll mess around with some joints for No Sleep Till Tucson to get myself in the right frame of mind. Singing Ass Willie is supposed to call me and maybe we can rework the new track into something bigger and better. Or come up with something else.
Anyway, back to battle with my sensitive inner rapper. Bucks tonight for Nah Nitti and the Johnny Harmonic homecoming.
