iight so this one is a no brainer...you have to think..alongside Kanye Little Brother made it cool to rock samples again...their flow is out of this world...along with simple concepts that become become complex stories of everyday occurrences...they would most likely get my crate digging skills up as well...i have yet to hear them rock a commercial sample...so i would def have to dig in the crates for this project...
i don't even know where to start...not that alot has happened...but im done with my mixtape...im mixing as we speak...just waiting on some features...im about to send one song off for ms. proper...gotta just choose the right now...*sigh of relief* finally...lol...on top of the game right now...this chick bout to come over to finish all the songs that require singing...im mad hype...just to get everything finished...its gone be dope...
im not even into aadais but i love these...i was looking thru different styles to delve into...im really diggin 1950 and 60's fashion...
them cats killed it...expect for those stupid glasses everbody is wearing nowadays...everybody wants to be cudi...but then cry that they are so different...now that different is cool...doesn't that also mean its cool to be yourself...yet and still people are not being themselves...*smh*
im sorry miss dawson...i will never hurt you again...now let me kiss it and make it better ;0)
so as you can tell by the title alone...this may be a long one...i dunno we'll see...first let me start by saying...sorry miss dawson...i love you to death...always will and always have but...seeing as me and my greatest enemy are beefing something serious i had too..everybody expected me to get back at her for cutting my phone off...but why??? so i played that joke...(that got over 200 views i might add LOL)...so j.swift hit me up last night via facebook and sent this...
Ok man I think that the least u could have done was tell me u were u gonna take the pics from my "tracks of life" album. U told me and I quote "take your time" with the pics and that was exactly what I did... with movin crap in getting str8 with school sheesh it was a lot and it had me focused on that only. But I didn't forget about the pics the real fact remains that u didn't pay me (which was cool... u I let slide cuz u r a up and coming artist like myself so I know how it is) so its not on ur time but mine feel me? U of all people should know how it is..... well at this point I don't care about all this bs. I just want credit for taking the pics geez that's not asking too much. Anywho if u want the rest of the pics all u have to do is ask.... that's if u give me credit for taking them
*gucci mane voice* well damn...now considering my enemy of the opposite sex told me other wise...i had to apologize...sheesh...mind you this enemy...has turned off my phone called me countless times (before she turned off my phone of course) even got my for 200 bucks sheesh...yet and still i didn't call...so in a last ditch effort she must have told j.swift i got the photos...i guess she is really thristy to talk to me but that will never happen again...im good now...better than ever...ask my homies...they all are like whas wrong with me...cuz im smiling 24/7...something i haven't done since my first week of college...im happy...with or without a phone...plus imma get paid regardless...im not going broke anytime soon...so i'll have a phone in no time...but as far as she goes...im done with that...sorry...
now...i've been single for a while now...and haven't found anybody interesting to talk to in a while (part of the reason being i couldn't shake my ex BUT)...i've noticed...my priorities are all messed up...how am i dishing out 400 dollars on plane tickets but driving a hoptie??? how am i caking BBUUUTT i haven't released this mixtape i been talking up for damn near a year now??? i wouldn't date a chick like that? so why would a chick date somebody like that??? something has to give...i have to do better...i gotta make power moves...start saving money...and get my ish together...im too talented for this...so today i rest my mind body and soul...and get ready for the never ending journey that is ahead of me...
man...i learned an important lesson today...BUT I FEEL GREAT!...better than i've felt in months YEARS even...aw man...she's gone...for good...makes me wanna kick my feet up...my big bro and everybody been tellin me to let it go...and i finally did it...love yall man...so whats next? well...people we gotta make her kick herself...lets transform me into the next thing...i can't do it without yall and that's real...on the flip...i gotta give yall music to push right? imma finish this tape...im so focused right now....got the day off...BUT...will i get another one? from what i've heard HELL NAW!....its cool tho...today was needed...the mixtape is gonna get finished...imma give yall a date here soon...just waitin on Kim to tell me when she's ready to relaunch...but its looking like sept/oct time frame....
so i finally checked the new issue of complex...
and to be real...i have so much more respect for kerri hilson and cudi...they have come a long way...and especially cudi...i feel like im where he was 5 years ago...working on a demo...on my way....not too sure what will happen you know? READ THE ARTICLE NIGGA!
damn it should be a crime to be in this good of a mood...
naw not really...lol...my and the homie burwell went to Dallas to help my unc DJ...BTW if you hit me up within the last few days...i don't have my phone...it got stolen...but some how some way...niggas still got in touch with me...but time without my phone and out of town...was very much needed...it gave my time to clear my head...i feel better now...here are some pics from the trip...
this place was utterly amazing...tho very expensive (i got one record for 15 bucks...STEEP! but it was such a good buy...i had to...more on that project later) ...it had the widest record collection i've ever seen...
as you can see...behind this nigga...after that we got up with some friends...chilled and called it a night...
she says she can sing...lets hope so...i need to finish this tape asap...
FLIPPED THAT COOKIE MONSTER RECORD TODAY!!!! (imma have to give yall a sample here soon just wait...)
im alot smarter than people give me credit for...i think i can flip almost any sample...if you think otherwise send me something...challenge me...the email is ello.champloo@gmail.com...give me the best you got...
did an interview today also...i forget for what blog and all that but believe i will have the link up here soon...hopefully it will go better than my other interview...sheesh...everybody was talking about this video was i decided to check it out...pretty dope...even has a jigga cameo *pause*...did he say you know alot??? lol
speaking of the jigga man...his album tracklisting dropped today...seems like in his old age he needs help from the young bucks...so to speak...
not gon lie...seems like a classic just from the tracklisting...i can't wait to hear it....
san an wasn't a total bust...we had a lil fun...met a few people...but for the most part couldn't get it crackin..until the big homie dee put me on to some thrift stores...WOW...man...these two items made the WHOLE trip worth it...just take a moment out of ya time and peep right quick...
check the cookie monster record and grizzlies snap back...classic...we went around to about 3 or 4 thrift stores and urban outfitters...came back with some crack for you asses...so honestly...all and all...money well spent...not to mention they had records for 45 cent! I def stocked up...i can't wait to start flipping the shit i copped...
can't wait to go back again...
so it seems myspace isn't as dead as i thought...while out there we got desperate enough to check myspace for some breezys out there...and low and behold...we found some...granted they didn't hit us back til sunday night (when we were well back in abilene) we still have connects for the next time we go....
in my eyes...epic fail....LA Gear finally does another release JUST FOR FEMALES!!??? and the design isn't all that either....back to the drawing board boys...
crumbs.
day.
Lola's verse is crazy...beautiful AND can rap...and her regular voice isn't on the same level as rusty metal nails on a chalk board...*cough* nicki minaj *cough*
i hate texas...no more to say...i've been to about every major city in texas and i haven't been impressed yet...(hopefully austin will change this)...FIRST OFF...mexicans hate blacks...and guess who are the prettiest girls in texas??? you guessed it...mexican girls...the malls are BIG but lame...no fresh sneakers...(except houston)...NOW...the clubs are so wack because females and dudes don't dance..they dougie in front of each other....its like...in Va...we touch grab...hold close...all that...and if you do that here they look at you like WTF!!!...*SIGH* so this trip was a waste of time and money...EXCEPT I got up with the big homie Dee...that was cool to see him and the clan again...so okay...the WHOLE trip didn't suck...put me on to some thrift stores and i got A STACK of new records and 45's...Austin...please make me love texas...because so far...im through with this place...
now...Wale dropped a new jawn the other day...its actually dope...especially for me CUZ I LOVE AFRICAN GIRLS!!! *drools*...check it...
drama drama drama...but whatever..its a long road right?...im not even gon speak on anything because in the end...it will end in my favor...BUT I HAVE TO SAY...i was mad over something that happened last night involving some photos i took in VA that niggas wasn't trying to give me...going as far as making me hack some shit to get em...SHEESH!...and i was ready to make a video blog about people who are just all on me right now...but then i hit twitter and saw something Ms. Proper wrote...how she wished i was in VA so we could work on music...went to her blog and found that she actually appreciates the kid...read it here
i've known ms. prop for sometime now and we've grown as artists right in front of each other...we've bumped heads more times than people understand but have always been there for each other...(and she has kept me up at night making beats....dammit all..for the lastest beat i made i swear i went thru at least 50 samples and made about 3 beats to just get the right one...but luckily i came thru in the clutch)...she pushing me to be a better artist and i gotta love her for that..
what she wrote really brightened my mood and made me chill...im not gon block my blessing because people don't understand certain things...lets move on...
fall is almost HERE! and i can't wait...im revamping my whole style...to give myself an older and more mature look with that young man spunk....the wingtip shoe is essential in this new look...i remember i used to joke on my grand dad for wearing these things now im fiendin for a pair...*smh*
THIS IS MY JAWN RIGHT NOW!
i swear if they woulda put this out in May with a verse from luda it woulda been a summer anthem...word to hiphopupdate
The days of “toned down” kicks are slowly slipping away. Don’t get it confused, we’re still into understated footwear, it’s just sometimes we like to wear look-at-me sneakers like this Straight Logo Pattern Chukka From Billionare Boys Club. Not only are the denim dressed uppers are stamped with BBC, so you won’t have to field “what are those?” questions, but like most of Pharrell’s products, they’re probably going to be a bit more limited. Check for them to hit BBC stores this month.
YO! WHY CANT BBC HAVE MORE ISH ON THE WEBSITE! GRRR!
so i finally got a change to breathe today...i went in on beats AND FINALLY sent this jawn to ms. proper that she was feeling so it smells like another placement...oh yea...talked to the homie Arty Ziff and its dope to see niggas on the same page...everybody's mind is on music and taking it to the next level...i spoke to dante lewis via twitter and he said if i invest in a mpc he'll mentor me on the ins and outs...which should be cool...i've flirted with the idea for a min but since i have somebody who can actually knows how to use it why not use it to my advantage...right? so im ready thru peoples blogs and for the most part everybody just posts what they find on other websites...not to say i don't but at the same time i do my own thing...giving yall shoes that should be released...my take on different producers or rappers...just giving my opinion...and that's what a blog should be...not just posting videos that everybody else has posted or telling people to download mixtapes you got off onsmash or nahright...AT LEAST GO TO DIFFERENT SITES...I MEAN DAMN...THIS ONE CHICK (NO NAMES) gets everything from onsmash and passes off as her own...its sad...im about to take my blog to the next level by giving yall music nobody else will have...its all in the works...believe me...i think what it is...nowadays everybody feels like they have to have a blog...which you don't...you don't have to be a dope rapper and have a blog/twitter/myspace/facebook...granted i do...but...im just good like that...HA!
one of my favorite MC's of all time...he has a knack for speaking for the not so cool black guy in the crowd...the not yet fly or flashy space age pharrell nerd...but the hood nerd if you will...his sample choices are sometimes very commercial but the way he flips the song (not the sample) giving it a different angle keeps me listening...he has worked with many producers and doesn't lose his footing (or who he is) no matter who he works with...while he does talk about love often he takes different paths and isn't afraid to make Love seem cool...i feel working with Murs could push me as both a MC and producer...
so...it has been a long few weeks...my job is working me like a slave...im so tired...i haven't had time to even finish this damn mixtape...or make beats...i gotta be at work at 3 am...its been hard...*sigh*...i went to church today...it reminded me of why i don't go to certain churches...people falling out or whatever...not for me...but he preached a good word...and i needed to hear it...i feel a bit recharged....hopefully i can just grind out these next few weeks finish this tape and bust these niggas in the head for verses...i figured out my next two tats as well...hopefully i can get one this weekend...should be dope...
now don't yall feel in light of phil rocking these in this video that jordan should release these jawns!!! BUT THEY WON'T! THEY WILL PROLLY RELEASE EM WORLDWIDE...shit sucks...
i sent some beats to Curren$y...i ain't heard nothing back yet...but we will see...pray for me...got work in a few hours...i will holla
Alicia Keys x John Legend x Lauren Hill = (the new love of my life)
so im in Best Buy debating music with my homies and i walk past and see this beautiful face on the front of CD...(i didn't buy it)...i had to know who this girl was...she looked like everything i've wanted...then i got back clicked on imeem to find in fact...not only was she beautiful but she was also talented...AND IRISH!!! *drools*
so yesterday...i was bummed to say the least...why? because i wake up in the worst place on earth...abilene texas...i hate it here...so me being the balling cat i am...i took my stacks and talked to a shrink...(now no stacks...it was free)...but still...what homie told me...was...well...weird...this guy is a Doctor...he went to school for his job...and after i talked to him for about 2 hours...telling him basically how i felt left behind...cuz shit...i want to travel to NY LA Tokyo London...he had one thing to tell me...Eric...focus on music...being here isn't a dream failed...but a dream delayed...and honestly...i never really thought about it like that before...therefore...i am in the basement for the next two years...time to fine tune my sound for the masses and make heat...using all the outlets i can...i mean i've enjoyed minor success...im featured on a few mixtapes across the country...as well as production credits...so i can't be too mad...this gives me time to save my dough, work on my craft (get my drums and keyboard game up *smh*) so when im 23 i can BANG EM OVER THE HEAD NIGGA! (word to Terry Kennedy)...im feeling a little better about my situation...*sigh*...now to create my own world in my room...fill my wall with my dreams and aspirations...i will put pictures up soon...should be dope...so that way in a few years...i can be twitin' shit like..."fresh off the plane landed in Tokyo"...ha...
shit i wish i had money like this...granted...i would make sure my family eating and i had a few businesses under my belt so i could get the money i spend back...send a few of my homies to college to run said businesses in the future but I WOULD SPEND THE HELL OUTTA MY MONEY....what's the point of dying with a billion dollars???? put ya peoples in positions so they can make their own money...but SB sets the world in fire once again with this one....
(*sigh*....it sucks to see a former love move on...ouch...maybe i spoke too soon...i miss her already...)
so today was pretty blah...i didn't do much...and considering the fact that next weekend i have to work you would think i would make the best of my last day off for at least the next 12 days....but no...i just kinda chilled out...i didn't even write rhymes or make beats i just listened and watched TV for once...felt good...i got inspiration from the cat Dante Lewis...he sent me something he worked on...it was dope...def made me think of some ideas to go in on soon...thanks homie...also Arty Ziff just finised a song i produced...hopefully yall will here it soon...i downloaded a few mixtapes and were less than pleased...even a lil...well i take that back...one was iight...had a song or two...but im not gon post cuz i don't think its that dope...once again don't think you can carry a whole mixtape on just keyboard beats...
im guest blogging this week for my big homie...i'll post the link as soon as it come available to me...
peep.
im surprised this album is actually coming out...i thought it would never see the light of day but here it comes...and im really excited now...Only Built For Cuban Linx is one of my favorite albums of all time...so hopefully the sequels comes close...and judging by the first single...it just might be...
P.Rod is hands down my favorite skateboarder...i wish i could be as talented as him on a board....this jawn right here make me wanna revert back to the swoosh (which i feel will happen any way...but imma fight it as long as possible)
