Eminem ghost writer

  For a long time now I have been deciphering Eminem lyrics. Sometimes I listen to 50 cent songs and I can hear ems rap style. I literally can say Eminem wrote that. The only problem is songs have the N word in them. So I wonder does Eminem write songs from his raw perspective. Writing songs for black artist just the way a hardcore artist would deliver it.

 All of my background checks don't give a clear answer as far as how my influence and design he has in each song. Maybe he gets paid under another name. A lot of early artist produced songs for other artist but were credited under aliases. I think this is what is happening in his case.

Eminem dissed 2pac???

 So I was listening to 'Forgot About Dre'. From Dr Dre's  classic Chronic 2001 album which was actually released in the year 2000. The album name changed because of rumours that Suge Knight would release an album with the exact same name. Karl Kani has spoken out publicly about how much 2pac wore his clothing line brand. He talked about his early beginnings and the support he got from 2pac. So everybody remembers Dr Dre leaving Death Row to create Aftermath entertainment. In the song Eminem says in the end me Dre stood next to a burned down house with a can of gas and hand full of matches still found out. My guess is that the burned down house which he was referring to had to be Death Row.     This verse especially made my antennas go up when he says' one day I was walking by with my Walkman when I caught a guy giving me an awkward eye with his Karl Kani. This makes me wonder did they ever cross paths. Secondly was it before em meet Dre or after. It had to be anywhere before 1997.

The Trump Wall

 First off this all started as a great idea from a building engineer mindset. Donald Trump has always been a building builder/owner.
  So when he sees America spending billions of dollars on nonsense. You have the ask yourself. Why isn't there barbwire separating our borders. One would think that's the first thing we should be spending money on. When you think about the white Pickett fences we build around our homes today the idea is not so far fetched.

Hollywood Look-a- likes

  These two women look so much alike it's scary. One is an actress on the FOX series the Originals. The other is an older actress from many 80s movies. I thought they were the same person. Was this possible?

She looks exactly the same. Plus she still look so young after all this time. So I researched both actresses on IMDB.

I Love Social Media (part 1)

 If only social media was a woman. Is what I keep thinking to myself. As the saying goes..."There's plenty of fish in the sea". So many options so many websites. Just unlimited access to all types of information. It's almost like having your own ancient Monk/Guru/Master at your finger tips. Before eBay I would have to physically go from town to town sometimes state to state searching for hip-hop music. Walmart didn't sell cussing music. We only had the House of Sound and you had to place an order for whatever tape you wanted. Seem like it never came neither. The owner always use to say try again tomorrow or come back next week.Sometime in the early 2000's came Basic Printing which had current music and had it on CD. He had the lastest hit mixtape ever weekend. He use to set shop by the store at the Talladega/Ashland county line every Friday. Bam!!! Then YouTube came out. I was loving it. I had so songs in my head so to look at the actual music video was like deleting old stored memory banks. I never liked napster. Between the transition I had a guy make personal cds for me for $5. So when I look back on how many cds you had to have to listen to your favorite songs as to downloading them to a cellphone I call that progress. Boy,do I love social media.

Too Old For Rap

   I am in my early forties and just had a birthday. How old is too old to rap listen to rap music. I've been drawn to the culture since I was a kid. As I have grown so has hiphop. It has evolved into a multi-million dollar industry. Where as it use to be all about your flow. But now it's fashion for a lot of folks. Some of the things I see now may seem new to others but it's not to me
   Just like Mobb Deep says in the quiet storm intro. I've seen it all and I've been through it all. Reminds me of the ole saying"There's nothing new under the sun".
   Throughout my twenties I chased life. Just about everything I wanted to do I had accomplished. As for as travel I really been some places. In my thirties I reap the benefits of all my hard work. My artistry was strongest when I was a teenager.My musical talents transitioned more towards making music than just writing rap after rap.
   Most folks don't understand new rap but I do. Quickly labeled mumble rap when really it's like consciously speaking to one's self and others. Gotta stay woke.

These Are The 10 Most Ghetto Cities In Alabama

These Are The 10 Most Ghetto Cities In Alabama

Snoop Dogg -Murder was the Case was about 2pac

   First off I know the time frames are all off. This song was made long before Tupac joined Death Row. But when you look at how it all unfolds it is exactly what happened to this brother. Check da verses "Dear Lord I wonder can you save me;A voice came to and said(Suge Knight came to the prison to see 2pac)bring your lifestyle to me I'll make it better; how long will I live eternal life and forever (through his music he has became immortal). But will I be the G that I was I'll make your life better than you can imagine or even dream of(All Eyes On Me triumphs Me Against The World).Its gonna take a miracle to walk again talk again but anyway(shooting at quad studios didn't cripple him). Fronted some G's to get back on my feet(Suge Knight bail him out+ get his money the record companies were withholding from 2pac).Everything that N***a said came to reality(Signed to death row where he fluctuated). Just remember who changed your mind cause when you start set tripping that a** is mine(PAC started claiming Westside knowing good D**n well he from New York). And of course you know how it ended.

Jay Z beef with Kanye West

  OK,here's what I think is going on with these two guys. So we all know that Kanye looks up to Jay as a mentor. But what happens when the little guy get too big for his britches? After hanging so tight with Jay for so long he always feel that he has to be a parr of everything his mentor does. N'all dog give that man some space. Tend to your own wife and kids. Jay Z said Kanye crossed the line when he brought his kids into it. In Kanye mind he wants to babysit royalty. But knowing Kim K background maybe she not the ideal babysitter. Sometimes you can be cool with one person but not with that person partner choice. You have to ask yourself if their relationship doesn't work out where does that leave us?
    Why hasn't Kim K dropped and album? Out of three magician that's a bond right there. Many people say artist communicate different with other artist than they do with regular folks. I strongly agree with that sentiment.
   Bottom line is one family doesn't want their children around the other family. That's what all of this so called beef boils down to. Or at least that's what I think.

R Kelly situation

   First,to start off I just don't know what to think about this R Kelly situation. Will he face charges? Again? Because the other time he some how got off. Well, today I tweeted to a beautiful young lady to ask her what she thought about the whole ordeal. No response yet but I'll wait. She is now a well known hip hop/r&b artist who goes by the name "STRINGS". A very very talented individual.
     For those who don't know her she was featured on R Kelly Gotham city remix(my jam by the way) she also was signed to Cash money records at one time. I wonder did she see any awkward behavior from the so called pied Piper of r&b.

We Are the Fresh Masters

              Fresh

Masters

   Many people say rap music has an apporiate age. Starting from adolesent to mid-twenties. I firmly disagree. One school yard friend who played sports his whole life and didn't go pro. Thinks giving up is a option. Not in my book. I understand a football player getting to old to run plays especially with the younger athletes. But with music theirs a difference. No matter how old a person gets there is always some form of music to be explored. NFL players tend to lend more towards sports center. The thing with music is that it's always evolving. Just like people and a person personality. I guess the ones who don't grow always quit.
