2 Sides (Open Wounds pt. 2)

I was gonna explain myself
but I don't owe niggas shit.

'Cause whilst partying, whilst saving one of those 'I can't believe this picture exist' pictures from existing... because of my thoughts like ' I wouldn't want somebody doing that to me' it occurred to me.
Am I the only one thinking about someone else?
yeah...
I owe a couple young ladies A LOT of things.
but I don't owe niggas shit.

Kthanksbye! ;)

Joints-
"Joints" was a song that I honestly recorded randomly as hell, word kinda sorta got around that I rap and to make a long story short, I hooked up with my friend Eddie to record on his equipment. Its no big secret that I love myself some woman; and this was my song to my woman at the time. I just didn't want to make it overly and outwardly lovey-dovey.
So here's 1/2 of the first verse and I think you'll clearly get what I mean.

"At the bar taking more..shots that Sean Bell
friends saying i've OD'd homie I can't tell
hit mademoiselle..."pour me another"
'till I hit mademoiselle and we forget the rubber
so raw in our love I came...
to a conclusion
she'll make ya eyes pop out like houston
she'll make 'Ye put some sing on it (808's & Heartbreak?)
shiiit..she'll make Jay put a ring on it (Jay-Z/Beyonce...Single Ladies?)"

But this was def one of those night where everyone was just chillin in the room and I was recording..good times...good music
and I just hope ya'll agree and maybe can relate to having a 'joint' of your own.


Supa mC-
See now, sometimes you do a song and you just know. You do a song and you hit the playback button and it gives you THAT feeling. After that you say to yourself "ok lemme give a day and see how I feel about it" because when you make music, a lot of times you need to step away from the song and clear your mind of things, come back to it and listen with a refreshed ear. When I say this song passed all of my tests with flying colors, I mean it. Now I'm not going to go on and on because if anything I just wish ya'll would hear the track and decide if its hot(or hotter) for yourself. But this is def. one of my favorite cuts on the project. Its more of a concept-less/rapping for the sake of rapping song..but I think I did a pretty decent job...
if any has DJ Jazzy JeFF's emil by all means feel free to sned it to him.

'til next time!

Open Wounds

Dear blogger...

I don't want to be some bitter young fuck, shooting out subliminal thoughts to let people know how I feel anymore. I thought that doing so would be a good way to cope with the emotional turmoil and make me feel better, but its only turned me into something i'm not. I'm not this guy who enjoys negativity in any way shape or form, and I never have been, but when faced with such a betrayal how does one react? Vengeance in mindset...(or so I've heard...)and I'm not going to lie, I've sat... and thought to myself "How can I make this person feel the way I feel, or hurt the way i've been hurting?", and I came up with a couple of answers, but upon the first leg of putting them into action I caught myself, and realized that this is just not the person that I am.
a monster.

So instead I tried to just bury the hatchet and prematurely be beyond what I was feeling. So I smiled, and exchanged kind words, all the while bearing this seemingly inescapable weight. I knew I was not happy with this person, yet I put up the facade...which only kept the wound open. And served to make me something that I am not.
fake.

Track-by-Track #2 - mC@Work / MD

mC@Work(Prod. DJ Jazzy Jeff)-
This song is the oldest song on the project, recorded in cool edit pro at my house(Waldorf) in my computer room one day. I heard the beat and it really reminded me of older hip-hop scenes with an emcee and a DJ rocking the stage. From there, I just wrote a rap. I feel like as a 'rapper' you have to just have the ability to rap (read: go on and on with clever metaphors, and flows), period. So this wasn't one of those super deep, complex,emotional or overly thought-out records. My aim was just to RAP. I always think my lines go over ppls heads, true or not ::Shruggs:: but heres some of my favs from the track:

"the measure of a man, yes sir, the liter/leader is back"

"... ok, i murder beats just to put it plainly, no Mook
hit it, get ghost but no spooks,
flows proof, liquor imitation but no spoof"

"hot like texas pete, you'll get a tan standing next to me
you'll get a brand standing next to me
no louie V, b-b-b-bitch..you can ask the greeks".

In addition to that, I felt the sincere need to throw in some Fresh Prince of Bel-Air references just because it was a DJ Jazzy Jeff produced track. The hook/bridge/chorus was really supposed to be my idea of just rocking out on stage, and giving the DJ some time to do his thing... added a little 'back and forth' to give the feeling of an interaction between emcee and DJ;...
and there you have it; mC@Work.


MD(Prod.???)-
This is one of those jams where it got written, and put into the stash and sat on. The instrumental is from a MURS song about his hometown of LA, so I decided to flip it in a similar fashion, starting off with what happened to be happening a lot at the time"

"Ridin' shotgun in the whip/
lighting up a spliff/
celly lighting up my hip..."

and to be honest, this was probably going to remain in the stash until I got to writing the hook, usually these are honestly the most painstaking part of writing for me, but this one really came with ease, and after it was recorded, I pretty much fell in love with it.
Ant asked me why I static-ed out certain words in the verse,
but around that part of the verse i'm talking about.. like future fashions..and then I go on to say how "I won't spill" due to jocking-ass biting-ass niggas.
but...this (like mC@Work) honestly really isn't that deep, just a shoutout to my home state of Maryland.
the second verse went more into specifics of the state, but it never got fully completed, so I just cut it after the hook and exported from Pro-Tools.
and there ya have it; MD.

Despite.

The scars on my brain.
the brand(s) on my memory.
the damages to my trust.
the lies in my ears.
the misuse.
the pitfalls.
the losses.
the lack of understanding.
and the constant reminder of it all.
...
i'm not gon' cry.
