what in the world is on radio today that sounds like this.

for real.

no bait-o

and i SWEAR i aint tryna engage the naysayers into anytype of debate---ie yall being afraid to say what's on your minds.

but if you gonna make a point i want that shit to be bulletproof.

pushing hip hop?

what is pushing hip hop.

first of yall you can't dismiss that most of yall are streaming this song listening on small ass computer speakers (in other words i doubt you are banging this in the whip where the shit truly counts)

wow i really had cats wrong on this.

i avoided the easy chipmunk route
i avoided the cymbal crash emphasizing the hook ie just blaze
i avoided the "yall do the same shit over" thing with no rhodes/dilla isms
no shuffles or stop on the dime club rhythms ("Fatty Girl" "fiesta")
even took my trademark snaps out just so i would'nt get accused of biting something i been doing on my records since day one.

what breakbeat on radio does this sound like?

like did i bite a pattern?

or did you mean the girl?

but yet and still i doubt you'd scoff at mary j singin "you're all i need to get by"

and even at that this aint even a love song! lol

so i beg of all you cats. step from out the shadow of the alias (why are all the naysayers under 1000? lol) like help me understand what you expect from us.

(shrugs)

maybe you just outgrown us.

i dont know what more to say.

this shit bangs the fuck outta my ride. kicks are deep and my snare pops. and as far as being "impressed"

what trick do you want?

yall looking for tricks to keep you entertained.

for real...i want a real known okaycritic to come with something concrete that i can understand.


go wake up buildingblock. play him this so i can unnderstand what standard yall putting me in...i'll be damned if i get raked over the coals for doing EASILY the closest thing to the anti roots "break you off"/"dont say nothing" shit i knew yall were gonna hate.


if you looking for "tricks" (wow! he can scat and rhyme at the same time!! cool!!!!)
or "personality" (wow! the way he said "raaaow raoow like a dungeon dragon!!!!" cool!!!)
or the i know its coming "where's hov?" "where's nas?" "where's ghost?" "where's kanye?" post...i mean that to me reads "easy". i enjoy the art of all my label mates but that to me is starting on the wrong foot.

why can't we just be consistant on our 3 pointers? like we gotta 360 monster jam shit from the half court EVERYtime?

"wow you hear that drum and bass thing on you got me?"

sorry folks...that was called "a trick"---look "innovative" or "cutting edge" but at the end of the day that was a seaworld "trick".

the beauty/coolness of "you got me" was that it was a great song. not "the drum shit at the end". that was my dave letterman stupid human trick/cherry on top.

keep em coming, we might as well debate now before the album comes out.
