rap ain't shit.
niggas is testing my mettle, trial by fire style.
basically the first real payday i worked knuckles to bone for has all but fizzled into thin air.
my manager says "put that situation to the side."
how the fuck do you do that when the situation in question concerns thousands of dollars?
i don't even wanna talk too much about it because the pain is endures, but it deserves mention. this is not a business for the faint of heart or the easily excited. right now i need work in both areas.
one good thing though- i'm going to spend these upcoming weeks and months devoutly dedicated to putting songs together for major label artists. for movies and commercials. for anything that has real money behind it. it's hard in situations like this, 'cause i know what it's like to want to fund a project that costs real live dollar bills, only to be thwarted by the realities of life.
and you wanna help people out. i wanna contribute. if this person needs a break on the price, lets work. just be honest. don't sign a fuckin contract and take a fuckin cd full of separated tracks and have me believing that everything's a go, and then not show up when it's time to pay the piper.
ANYWAY, as i was saying.
this whole fiasco has inspired me to get on my big time grind, start making tracks with the degree of competence that i know i have. try to incorporate the huge selection of instruments i've compiled over the years, and figure out this mixing thing for once and for all. get to know my shit a little better, and then i'm blasting every a & r and every open project with a collection of my best shit.
again, the goal still is to place 3 beats before september. i think my shot is fair.
so...
now that the laptop is all but a distant memory, i'm going to take a few bucks and upgrade my pc. new mobo and processor. put all my samples and sampled instruments on the 160gb drive and keep the external as a mp3/video drive.
and i'm about to dump close to 1000 beats never to be seen again. if anybody wants anything they've heard over the years, holla now or forever hold your piece. i'm moving on.
do i sound mad?
good.
