Me, i’m a Christian, an M.C. , mixed-blood Tsalagi Indian, a husband and a father.
Thanks to ’The Derelict’ for his tight beats. I record these songs with a Samson CO1U usb mic and acoustica. It’s all I got for now. I record these songs usually in one take, because if I mess up I have to start over again from the beginning, I can’t go back to the mess up point and patch it up. If I run out of breath or choke up at any point I have 2 options: keep going or start all over again. If the mess up isn’t too bad I just keep going. For info go peep out my other page here on Myspace, it’s : myspace.com/psmoke . Thanks to " Big A" from the S.F.C. for puttin’ me on to the Acoustica thing. God Bless...............................PS: I HARDLY EVER TURN DOWN FRIEND REQUESTS. IF YOU SEE SOME PEOPLE ON MY FRIENDS LIST THAT YOU WOULDN’T THINK I WOULD NORMALLY CHILL WITH OR ASSOCIATE WITH DON’T BE SURPRISED. I DON’T JUDGE PEOPLE, IT’S NOT MY PLACE TO. AND I HOPE THAT BY ADDING ME AS A FRIEND THEY MAY LEARN ABOUT AND BE LEAD TO CHRIST.
Hosted by Sparkle TagsI am what some people call a hip hop "purist". The reason for this is I guess because there is very little artists out there that I consider to really be truly "hip-hop" in the true sense. Most people disagree and I have been called a "backpacker" and many other things. Even some cats out there who I consider to be REAL hip hop artists disagree with me about other rappers and whether or not they think they are hip hop. I don’t consider Jay-Z to be hip hop. I don’t consider most of what they tell you is hip hop on the radio to be hip hop. Rap and hip hop have unique differences that can sometimes be easily distiguished and sometimes can’t and are blurry. I don’t consider most of what’s coming out of the south (mainstream, played on the radio I mean) to be hip hop. "Soulja Boy" is not hip hop. "P. Diddy" is most assuredly NOT hip hop. Outkast kind of walks the line with some of their songs but most of their songs are rap and not hip hop. The same with Eminem. Get ready to hate me..............B.I.G. and 2Pac were not hip hop to me. Why? 2 words.......subject matter. Did they speak on anything dealing with lyrical skills or hip hop in general? Hip hop was first about partying and battling. Then it matured into a tool for unity and educating. Now it has been perverted into something that is not hip hop at all as far as the radio is concerned. Look, I am more of a hip hop traditionalist. If it don’t rep what hip hop was about from the early days then it aint hip hop to me. Now I don’t mean it has to sound like it did in the 70’s/80’s to be authentic. Hip hop has a unique sound and feel to it when it is pure. What happened to the D.J. in the music that they tell you is "hip hop" on the radio? Where is the cutting and scratching? Where are the real hard beats? You wont hear any of that on the radio, but it’s still around. Don’t believe the radio when they tell you what they are playing is hip hop.
