ever had a dream? Something that you would walk to the end of the earth to see come true? I'm no different. I wake up everyday and get the feeling that I'm not where I should be. I have dreamed of greatness since I was four years old. I have a constant fear of failure. I see many of my peers living their dreams and feel envious. I have worked damn hard and haven't seen that work result in fulfillment. I have recorded hundreds of songs and give them away for free but most of you haven't heard them. I am my own audience and it often depresses me. Not in a suicidal sense but it affects me in a very dark and negative way. I type these words knowing that no one will read them. I pour my heart and soul into my music only to miss my mark. I am the invisible man and all I want to do is be heard. I know in my heart that I have what it takes and if given a real chance, I could be the biiggest rapper in the world. I fear no man....only failure.Curtis Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16409214565343243401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356578998730227240.post-40727152949391681202010-06-16T18:09:00.000-07:002010-06-16T18:33:16.064-07:00RebootWell The Job Application series isn't going as planned. Not that this is a bad thing, it just means that I've retooled my approapproach. I'm still dropping THE JOB APPLICATION but I'm following that up with three Mixtape EPs: ADVENTURES IN LAMDA LAMDA LAMDA, REAL GENIUS and ME AND MY KEYBOARD(tentative title). <br /><br />My influences are over the place with these projects so be warned. I'm on some other shit hahaha. But its still gonna be dope. With KEYBOARD I'm going back to original production. I haven't done this since the early 2000s so I'm getting the rust off but I'm proud of the few tracks I've done so far. My work ethic is bananas. <br /><br />Maybe I'll post some tracks this weekend. Or maybe I'll just get a McFlurry and call it a day.

I freely admit this fact. Not that I feel my content is bullshit...oh, no no no. Its the fact that I blog like a woman's period-once a month. But I facebook like a mofo. I'm a facebook pimp. I'm checking it like 2000 times a day. But for whatever reason I don't post as much here. Maybe its because I feel I'm talking to myself. Whatever, right?<br /><br />But here I am, like some ex-boyfriend who can't let go. I NEED this blog. Its mine and no one can take it from me.

My boy Terrence put a nigga ON. He's going to blow.....I'll put money on it. Be on the lookout for "I Want Your Love" featuring this humble blogger. Shameless plug? Fuck it, I'm hungry. <br /><br />I have my terrorists for the weekend so I won't really get any new shit up until Sunday Night but I promise fireworks. New shit, new direction, same ol' G. Word to Ginuwine. <br /><br />All 6 of my fans know the drill: several mixtapes in the next few months. But this time I'm following that with my first actual full length studio album. AND I'm getting professional muscians, producers and engineers to assist me in making a classic. <br /><br />I'm all in. I'm dedicated. I'm focused. Balls deep.

I need it now more than ever. I'm a fairly confident individual on most every subject. But lately I've been experiencing some self doubt. Most of it is self inflicted but lately some "friends" have contributed. I don't know what I did but some cats have begun to act extra flaky. <br /><br />Fuck em, I say. My train has started moving and I've been making some moves. I reached out to some folks(some against my better judgement) and they spit on my hand. Its cool, homie.

Ice Cube was such a fan that he invited them to guest on his <span style="font-style:italic;">Predator</span> album and even switched his flow on a few tracks to resemble Das'. they were grimy and their wordplay was off the chain. <br /><br />a severe case of biterphobia caused them to completely switch up their flow for their sophomore album, <span style="font-style:italic;">Str8 Up Sewaside</span>. while the album was solid, fans were wanting more of "They Want EFX' and "Mic Checka". EPMD's ugly divorce didn't help matters and Das quietly faded away after their third LP, <span style="font-style:italic;">Hold It Down</span>. they're still big overseas and folks here are still bumpin' <span style="font-style:italic;">Dead Serious</span>. hopefully we can get more of that magic.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THE D.O.C</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1KA3CJEI/AAAAAAAAAGI/zRNKXM6F56I/s1600-h/doc.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 295px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1KA3CJEI/AAAAAAAAAGI/zRNKXM6F56I/s400/doc.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345831203834569794" /></a><br /><br />perhaps the saddest of all stories here is the D.O.C's. he was where Snoop and Eminem were-the protege of Dr. Dre. his debut, <span style="font-style:italic;">No One Can Do It Better</span>, is a classic. "Is It Funky Enough" and "The Formula" are two of the greatest songs the world has ever known. he was a writing machine who brought a wealth of lyricism to the West Coast N.W.A family. <br /><br />his career was cut too short after a severe car accident which left his vocal cords permanently damaged. his baritone was replaced with a scraggly whisper and h was regulated to ghost writer duties. he recorded a new album, <span style="font-style:italic;">Helter Skelter</span>, which was actually quite good once you got over his voice. but it wasn't the same. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">CANIBUS</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1P0nW-5I/AAAAAAAAAGY/MuJB7Ts78NE/s1600-h/canibus9eh3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 388px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1P0nW-5I/AAAAAAAAAGY/MuJB7Ts78NE/s400/canibus9eh3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345831303626816402" /></a><br />oh, Canibus. the word "potential" should have his picture next to it in the dictionary. he was hailed as the future of Hip-Hop in 98. he alone was to guide us out of the shiny suit era and fill the void of Pac and Biggie. he slaughtered beats by the pound with his intelligent wordplay and gruff voice. he was signed to(whitehot at the time)Wyclef's production company and was poised for greatness...<br /><br />...then he decided to beef with LL Cool J. <br />then Wyclef.<br />then Eminem.<br />then he went to the army.<br />then he came back. <br />then he disappeared again.<br />then he sorta, kinda reappeared.<br /><br />(((sigh)))like i said, "potential".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">BOSS</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1TEMfrMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/sGFKQ-iXQ1M/s1600-h/boss.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 375px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1TEMfrMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/sGFKQ-iXQ1M/s400/boss.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345831359348714690" /></a><br /><br />hands down, the greatest female MC of all time(getting ready for the boos and hisses lol).<br />Boss was rare. she was so gangsta yet so cute.

"Recipe of a Hoe", "Progress of Elimination" and "Deeper" weren't like any song you had heard from a female rapper at the time. this little light skinned chick stole Eazy E's wardrobe, spit gangsta shit and proceeded to kill the game. she was part of that Warren G/Onyx/Def Jam revival that was going on during Death Row's monopolization of the industry. and she did her damn thing.<br /><br />IDK how exactly she fell off. she did a song for the <span style="font-style:italic;">Mi Vida Loca</span> soundtrack and dis-a-fuckin-ppeared. no reason was given. she reappeared in Dallas, working as a DJ for a radio station and dropped hints that she was coming back out but no further word was given.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">DMX</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1udlFr9I/AAAAAAAAAGo/CjCXjZQcbKQ/s1600-h/dmx.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/SjA1udlFr9I/AAAAAAAAAGo/CjCXjZQcbKQ/s400/dmx.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345831830019223506" /></a><br /><br />there's not much i can say about X that you don't already know. he was a <span style="font-style:italic;">MEGA</span>star from 98-2001. he was the first artist of any genre to have two #1 albums in the same year. he did what Canibus was supposed to do---restore the grime and dirt to Hip-Hop. he barked and growled and scowled and prayed his way into becoming one of the most endearing artists this side of Tupac.<br /><br />his legal and drug problems hindered his career and even to this day he's fighting charges. he's threatened to leave the game alltogether and become a preacher...and it doesn't seem that farfetched when you consider who he is. i hope he gets it all together because Hip-Hop needs X. we just do.<br /> <br /><br />i know that there are others who deserve to be on this list but these are the stand-outs. <br />if your favorite isn't here, don't take it to heart. im just a rapper/blogger....not a credible journalist =)<br /><br />peaceCurtis Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16409214565343243401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356578998730227240.post-12205151654894678812009-06-06T15:34:00.001-07:002009-06-06T15:56:46.079-07:00Post S3 Projects<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/Sir0GZLZ0qI/AAAAAAAAAF4/3XT1k6EQAls/s1600-h/tony.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 354px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w16TVk36znE/Sir0GZLZ0qI/AAAAAAAAAF4/3XT1k6EQAls/s400/tony.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344352298503623330" /></a><br />now that S3 is almost finished, i can go back to a more sane level of recording =]<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Planetary</span><br />10 song mixtape featuring Gimme<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">i owe it to him. the man has more patience than Gandhi lol<br />plus i can concentrate more on production with this feature.
