When I heard Will.I.Am was dropping a solo jawn, I didn't think much of it. Then I was in Jose3030's car after the Levi's show and he played me some cuts. I was impressed, so I copped it the next week. Hell, it was on sale for 12.99, how could I go wrong? Well, I'm impressed! I knew homeboy had some beats in him after some very impressive beatwork on a BEP jawn off of Funky Precedent Vol. 1. Well, he outdoes himself on the boards here. With guests like Mykill Myers and Planet Asia helping homeboy on the mic, he puts together a very strong project. i'm actually still listening to it now for the first time and decided to post. Nice stuff.

So many ways out the hood but no signs say out- Nas

Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.

His name wasn't on the list for Beat Generation albums to be coming out, why did they release his shit instead of the others on the list?

"Yo...on The Amen, Corner I stood, lookin at my former hood. Felt the spirit in the wind, knew my friend was gone for good. Threw dirt on the casket, the hurt, I couldn't mask it
Mixin down emotions, struggle I hadn't mastered. I coreograph seven steps to heaven. And hell, waiting to exhale and make the bread leavened. Veteran of a cold war It's Chica-I-go for. What I know or, what's known. So some days I take the bus home, just to touch home. From the crib I spend months gone. Sat by the window with a clutched dome listenin' to shorties cuss long. Young girls with weak minds, but they butt strong. Tried to call, or at least beep the Lord, but didn't have a touch-tone
It's a dog-eat-dog world, you gotta mush on. Some of this land I must own
Outta the city, they want us gone Tearin' down the 'jects creatin plush homes. My circumstance is between Cabrini and Love Jones. Surrounded by hate, yet I love home. Ask my God how he thought travellin the world sound Found it hard to imagine he hadn't been past downtown. It's deep, I heard the city breathe in its sleep. Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to keep. Deep, I heard my man breathe in his sleep. Of reality I touch, but for me it's hard to keep"--Common

maybe...

i mean, if he comes to them with a completed album and marley marl is sitting on his thumbs, what do you think they're gonna do? LOL.

he did the soundtrack for the levi mini-movie/commercial and he wanted it to get put out, so he went to BBE.

seems to be out of the blue.

"This album is by far the greatest piece of writing, arranging, producing, and sequencing genius I've ever encountered. Anyone who has heard the first two Swamp Dogg albums will possibly say impossible, but after listening to this one will make the cross-over to incredible. The only album that may possibly compare with this one is the one that I'm contemplating doing the late future. Everything that is neccessary to make an album I have; Ego, talent, originality, humor, and I am dynamic, articulate, defiant, altruistic, considerate, warm, wonderful, & humble... I have also been a Grammy nominee for the past two years. I'm also a Cancer (July 12) and twenty nine years in the world.

what happened to the last bep album? you guys were so promising with "fallin up" "that's the joint" and "que dices" and the other joints, but your last album was straight trash. sorry, but that's how i feel.

are you all breaking up?

come on man.
that's just rude.

any effort that is put forth is not "trash".
it might not be to your liking, but it's not trash.

this is music we're talking about.
all music is good.
you just prefer some more than others.
and we're all different.

Im a big BEP fan, both albums bang to me. I hope to pick up lost change today

peace will

its cool...
some cats like differnet things...
we just do what we like and feel...
and thats what we were feelin at the time...
i dont make music for anybody but myself...
and if cats dig it, then they dig it...
i they dont, then someone will...
maybe you'll feel the next b.e.p joint due, april "sum shit"...
or maybe you wont...
but, hey...
you liked some of our earlier shit...
so thats cool...
but no way are we breaking up...
im just always workin, and looking for other ways to grow as a producer, song writer keyboardist...
and i always wanna put shit out...

i like to produce "music"...
im trying to go beyond an mpc, sampler, or drum machine...
make the same type bang without even having to program...
now days anybody could learn to make beats...
"just read the manual"
the challenge is, sitting with musician's...
composing, mic'ing, e.q'ing the sound...
and getting it to "bang"...(from nothing)
will.i.am

dont let em hate...your joint is nice...and ive seen u guys rock a live show like no other except the roots...thats shows true talent...selling cds doesnt...nevertheless i appreciate the creativity in your new shit and hope it translates over to the next album, peace,d

Bridgin the Gaps was hoooooot. The Premeire beats on BEP Empire. Esthero with her sexy voice on "Weekends." I was feelin that shit. Don't mind them haters.

I was at El Rey show a couple of weeks ago and your DJ spun some of that LOST CHANGAE jawn and it sounded hot. Did i hear some ska and drum and bass on that ish. Hoootttttt!

I can't wait to get my unemployement check so i can cop that!!! For real!

since the man posts occasionally

what was up with the line

"linkin up with primo dont do it"

?

whoa, what's the story with that?

I thought it was...

"Linkin up with the primo, DO IT"

I mean Primo is on the cut, so why would it be the other way around???

but right before the first verse he goes "linkin up with primo, dont do it"

they arent lyrical masters, but their voices make me like them, like they really feel what theyre saying on some soulful shit

Yo Wil,
Sorry to call you out man, but why the hell isn't "Warriors" on my cd version of "Lost Change"?? I was diggin that song from the clip I heard on the net, and then when I picked up my copy, I didn't realize till I was playing it in my car that the track was missing? What the deal? Was there sample probs? Is it only on the U.S. version?

"liking up with primo, dont do it"

me and my closest freind say "dont do it"
when we see some shit thats ill, dope, sick, hot, what ever...
like for example...
if i see a bangin female..."dont do it"...i say...
because looking that fly, its like overload thinking of all the posibilities...
so what we meant with primo, is the same shizzle..
"dont do it"
cuz the idea got me amped...
believe me, we aint ganna disrepect primo at all...
its all good...
he was feeling the lyric as well...
i think he understood it cuz we was saying "dont do it" all night at the studio...
its all good...


and worriors is a song i did for my beast freind in a group called burning star...
"look out for them"

but i took if off the "lost change"release...cuz they plan on releasing a white lable...and i dont wanna get in the way...
even though i thought by putting it on my bbe release would be mad exposure for them, in the RIGHT WAY...
but.. its all good...
"there were no samples"
its all live..(except for my drum programming)

will.i.am

today.

i had heard great things before, but i don't get into that much new hip-hop really.

everything about this sounds on-point. i'm excited.

art over product
craft over marketing
experimentation and progression
live instrumentation and performance
vision and expression
bangin'

sounds right.

thanks to all ya'll for the extra info on the album, and thanks to will.i.am for the in-depth

also, can somebody tell me about this one female artist i heard about somewhere with b.e.p and shock g. connections...???
