ok, im completely tired of underground ass producers wanting mad money for beats. especially when their shit aint john blaze(i cant get jiggy wit dis shit!!). like ok if u was really ill, maybe i might think about payin more than $50 for a beat. but 250 a beat?!! and ur shit aint even that great, u musta lost ya fuckin mind. see all this comes from my feeling that im missin on opportunities every day we dont have a album out.funny how plans fall thru, as they always do. the only person/thing u can trust is God, all others will fail u. da vinci was talkin big shit early this semester about us releasing 3 promos this school year, 2 by christmas break. ya the fuck right. so far me and him have recorded no times, tried(unsuccessfully) to write songs once or twice, and talked business about 4 times. pitiful. nigga lives one floor down from me, but we're so far apart.
its mostly time contraints. i work, have a steady girlfriend, take 17 credits, and have work to do makin connects with dif local music ppl i meet online. and im workin on 2 websites for other ppl. meanwhile ron's in the black nativity so he has rehearsal for that often, hes vice president of college democrats(lots of work), he works, and has his other shit i dont know about. so im designating myself the leader of the union, just cuz im startin to realize:
every movement, organization, whatever pretty much must have one leader. its all good to delegate responsibilities, but if u want shit done u gotta take charge of it. so saturday i recorded a song by myself, just 2 16s no chorus, nothing heavy. toya worked audition for me while i recorded. love that girl. neway im tired of waitin. im tired of thinkin "ya rons workin on writin his verses for such and such song then we'll record it." theres one song ive had my part written for for at least 3 weeks now, prolly longer. i emailed my part to him, still waitin for him to fill in his parts. and the song was his concept, he made it up. not that im mad at him, im just pissed that we both added so much to our schedules that our plan is faltering.
morgan state has this disease spreading, called my-problems-will-be-better-somewhere-other-than-here-itis. niggas think transferring is gonna fix everything. and now ron caught it, hes thinkin of transferring so says my roommate. apparently to be closer to home. its just blowin me how all plans die. damn near nothin i plan ever truly works out. i get some friends in high school, turns out i dont like most of em enough to be best friends. i make new ones in college, and for w/e reasons most of those arent what they used to be. neway things fall apart. thats the other thing u can trust besides God, things will fall apart. ive had the feeling that me and ron wouldnt be spittin together for a long while, i just figured the group would break up around the end of our morgan state careers, not 2 years into the careers. so good thing ive always thought of myself as a solo artist first. again no changes have happened yet, im just prepared if shit does change.
so i said all that to explain y im trying to get the ball rollin on the union. I figure we can put a promo out around now, we got 9 songs done already. either pass em out, or sell em for a dollar or two. so id like for yall to listen to my music(www.theunion.gwgaming.net) and give me honest criticism on whether u think its promo-ready and if u pay a dollar, two dollars, or no dollars for the music. think of it as all 9 tracks on the album. the other part of this ball rolling uphill is me trynna find beats. not fun, so many niggas suck. and the ok ones think that they're great. im bout to boycott all these muthafuckas and just make songs strictly on instrumentals i download until we get enough of a buzz to get free beats. cuz really aint no beats i heard so far worth $50, maybe one or two. neway im tired and my right hand hurts, peace ppl. thanks in advance to anyone who critiques my shit. dont be nice please
