Werd up! I am thoroughly flattered by all of the kind words. I appreciate the love for REAL! Sorry I haven't stopped by in a while, I will make sure to hit this site up EVERY DAY. I can't believe this thread is about me. That's dope. I don't have a mix tape or anything yet. I just started rappin a few months ago. I am in my final year of law school so music is not really the priority right now. However, music IS the priority when I finish. I just don't have time right now. As far as my me sounding like Jay, thank you??? lol. It's all good. I am a fan of Jay, but I don't really listen to him that much. I think I sound like him because my tone of voice more than anything. Its hard to hear my music objectively, but I would say that my rhyme patterns are more toward Black Thought than Jay. But what do I know. I just write what I feel when I'm in a zone. I'm not trying to be like anyone, I'm just trying to rhyme words that people aren't expecting, and do it in a manner that provokes thought. I also try to find a good balance between battle rap, that is about nothing but a display of skill, and conscousness. I can battle rap ALL DAY LONG! But, I don't want to put to much meaninglessness (is that a word?) out there. It takes me a long time to write a conscious verse. I wish I could say that I just spit'em out. I will nurture a verse for months. But as far as my bragadosious joints, I can whip those up pretty fast. Thats more about just multiples and serving fools! Feel me? I don't like one better than the other, but since I am in my thirties, and I have kids, I have a responsibility to the youth. This is a wonderful gift and to whom much is given much is required.
Sorry I blabbed so long. Thank you all for checkin me out. The next joint I post on YouTube is going to be a song I wrote for my wife. I should post it after finals (Dec. 17th is my last one). Peace and love!
Shout out to Chinita for making me get my ass out here to this site. I love it!
