The Natural Biography:

The Natural was raised in the slums of La. At the age of 8, after both parents died during a harsh, winter blizzard in the freezing city of los angeles...PAUSE!
haha im kidding. I cud really give a damn about a PROFESSIONAL sounding bio, cus it still doesnt mean u rap better than me, you looosers.
So with that said....What it aint, haters!
I go by the name of Josh, from downey, CA (calvary/warren high, where yall at! lmao). But I had to change that because it's not a cool rap name, apparently. Damn hip hoppers. So i changed it to iDeaL, but i have to change that because some old RnB group had the name before i was old enough to give a damn about some love songs. Damn singers.
Well, anyways...i'm a pretty nice guy. NO REALLY I AM. But once im rapping, im a certified gangster, and i have a certificate to prove it. Hahaha. Justtttt playing, calm down you silly backpackers. I love rap. I argue about it adamantely, and despite the fact that it consumes a decent percantage of my life, it is far down on my list of priorities. Ahead of it is my family, my God, my friends,the female gender (lol), and play-doh. The possibilities of play-doh are endless. Anyways, i make music, kinda. I've shared the stage with the likes of Talib Kweli, Too short, Bun B, the Ying Yang Twins, Baby Bash, Paula Deanda, Crooked I, Sly Boogy, MIMS, Yung Berg, ToneDeff, Planet Asia, Cypress Hill, Jurassic 5, etc...
I've only been making songs for 2 and a half years, and theres rewards and consequences because of that. Most people who have been rapping for this small amount of time have the benefit of being able to put out a sub-par mixtape/album and not have too many people checkin for it. I, on the other hand, know that there will plenty of people checking for my first CD to drop, so i'm veeeeeeery skeptical about dropping what i have now. Granted, it's quality music, but I need a solid mix of songs with a great flow to it. I'm my worst critic, and often have a tough time listening to my songs after recorded.
I cringe at hearing myself, despite the fact that i know 95% of listeners are extremely impressed and typically shocked because of my unassuming look. The other 5 either have very high expectations or are too biased to look at the situation for what it is.
I am officially rambling, and am speaking about myself too much. I once read the number 1 topic that people most love to talk about, is.....THEMSELVES. But hey...what subject is there that you know MORE about then your ownself?
Have a good time checking out the page...the pics...the vids. Feel free to snoop around my comments and figure out something about me, or maybe where im gonna be. Lol.
Add a song to your page, tell a friend, and live a slow life. It lasts longer.
