Should, or Shouldn't I?

So, since I decided to stretch my "creative wings" so to speak, I've been contemplating possibly forming an actual group. No, not a boy-band. And no, not a man-band either. A musical collaboration between like-minded individuals who refused to be bogged down by one particular genre.

 

Look, It's no secret to those around me, or anyone that pays attention to anything I say; hip hop/rap is boring to me now. Not only that, but the game is just overcrowded and oversatured with every fool that can get a microphone and a Youtube/Myspace/Facebook/Twitter, etc. And if Plies, Soulja Boy, Gucci Man, Wacka Flocka (the same that admitted that he has no lyrical creativity whatsoever and is just doing this ish' for the money he makes on shows) had shown us anything, it's the fact that anyone can get a deal in hip-hop these days.

 

And frankly? They can have it.

 

I've always been a fan of music, and if you were to ask me what the last rap song I did was and completed, I'd tell you "By My Side" which is at this point, going on 2-3 months old from when I originally wrote and recorded it. Heck, look at "How You Do It (H3ll Yea!)" and this "The Rejuvenation" project I'm doing. This project won't have one rap verse on it from me. I refuse to. I love melody and I've finally found a way to project a singing-voice that works for me and "How You Do It (H3ll Yea!)" is really the tip of the iceberg of what I want to do. Same with "Can't Control It" and "Move (I Wanna)", those type of songs have become so exciting for me to record that I don't even care a 6'3" black guy from the Virgin Islands that looks like he should be screaming "I'mma head bussa!" instead of singing

"Why do you build me up, buttercup?"

 

Music was better back then anyway.

 

There are so little joys that you can get out of life while you're here, and if you're not having fun or enjoying them when you find them then what's the point?

 

Exactly.

 

"The Rejuvenation", coming soon.

 

Suckas.
