I Don't Trust Myself...


No I'm not the man I used to be lately 
See you met me at an interesting time 
And if my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside

Me



I Dream On



Concept: There is a part in every man's heart that is taken up by a love for something; whether it be love, money, women, a woman, music, travelling, etc. When things obstruct your love for it - you want it even more. I want the song to capture that feeling without explicitly saying what it is - which is the first verse. Second verse: The vocals say "Want to go back with you" - this verse is directed towards going back to that emotion. For example, if you have just met someone, that exciting feeling of whether it would be right to be with them. The fact is, you want it / them so much that there is no question in your mind.

Save A Place For Me



This is my favorite beat I have made in a while.
I used to make more beats like this (chopped up samples).
But yeah... Save a place for me.

Kind Words



"So I've been listening to stuff from this producer Charlie Hilton (http://charliehilton.blogspot.com/) and I've got to say this dude is down right nice, beautiful production all around (lol, he's definitely better than me) though he's mostly on that deep heartfelt rap and RnB stuff, cool stuff regardless, everyone has their seat, and he makes his look like it's been vacant for him this whole time." - creativeprocrastinators.blogspot.com

I really appreciated that. I like to think that people spend time listening to my stuff and noting my ability. Especially given that I am a producer and, mostly, beats are pretty boring to listen to without some sort of vocal on them. Anyway, I am in no way "well known" in terms of my craft, but my name crops up here and there and that is important for my progression as an artist, internally.

As long as I feel my art is appreciated, I will continue to do what I do. If you don't know what I do, then you haven't paid enough attention. I'm not a charity, I'm not going to move mountains for you but I will help you if you help me.

The Esc Button


Has anyone ever used the ESC button on your keyboard before?
I swear I have actually never used it... What does it even do?

Vocally



This is my favorite kind of love song.

Whilst Airborne



Written yesterday:

I think that there are two kinds of people - those that love to be sober and those that don't. I say this as I am 40,000 feet / 12,192 meters in the air. The dude next to me and I have gone through 3 bottles of red wine (unlimited and free). (He passed out onto his girlfriend half way through the flight (he couldn't handle his drink). I stayed up and listened to the drafts of Good Food, drank some more and wrote about deprivation, decline and degradation in the UK.

Back to the point: There are two types of people - those who thrive in absolute sobriety and those who believe they thrive when they aren't sober. Shit, I love being impaired...

...Especially when I make music. I don't believe that you can make the most technically precise sounds / music when you are fucked up, but you have no reserve (you lose your inhibitions). You try things that you wouldn't otherwise. (I planned to get drunk on the plane and make some crazy beats... But my battery died within 20 minutes. So I just sat back, plugged the iPod in, and zoned out.)

Anyway, I am 1 hour and 32 minutes from Philadelphia, traveling at 524 miles per hour. I want to go to Philadelphia and move at 524 miles per hour. I want Good Food and the pursuing projects to be the best of 2009's underground. I want them to be easy-listening but hard-hitting. I want them to loosen your tension but tighten your mind. (I had an artificial confidence boost.)

So I decided, the album will have NO fillers. If you don't come hard enough, you will not be on the mixtape. Good Food may end up being 5 songs long and if you don't give your best, don't bother. I am willing to sacrifice the best of the beats in order to showcase the best quality collaborations.

Take that how you will, but this album is not just for me, it is for those who I have given an opportunity to. If you don't put your heart and soul into the music you make, then you will be dragging the other people in the project down. That, simply, isn't fair.

Anyway. Outdrunk the fuck out of someone two times the size of me and I still want more. (*presses the "call assistant" button*).

I'm out...*sip*

Cool Quote.


I pump life in my music
but still life is a wonder.
- Nas

My Favorite Rapper EVER.



In my opinion Brother Ali is a class above the rest. 

Check his Myspace.

"For real, I be diligently killin' the soliloquies
Of these milipeads that try to pass themselves off as ill MC's
I weave a web of words so intricately
That the English dictionary lacks an adjective to fit me
"

If you haven't heard of him / heard him before... You are in for a treat.

Jet The Hawk



Trivia:

Jet the Hawk (ジェット・ザ・ホーク) is the 14-year-old hawk leader of the Babylon Rogues, and is often nicknamed the "Legendary Wind Master" due to his mastery of Extreme Gear.

At the doors of the Babylonian Fortress, Jet, Wave, and Storm awaken and are confronted by the Babylon Guardian, a large purple genie, and only succeed in defeating it with the help of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. They discover the fabled Babylonian Treasure to be the ancient Extreme Gear Magic Carpet.
Jet and Sonic finally decide to be more friendly to each other. Jet concedes to the fact that Sonic is faster than him. However, this doesn't make him want to beat Sonic any less than in the beginning.

In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity Jet wishes upon a shooting star the power to beat Sonic, then when the shooting star crashes it causes an avalanche, making a newly found artifact activate, revealing to Jet the powers of Gravity Control. Proclaiming himself the fastest thing in the universe, Jet sets off to find the rest of the Ark's of the Cosmos, and prove to Sonic the Hedgehog once and for all he is the best.

Jet and Sonic meet up again at MeteoTech and Jet immediately jumps at the chance to prove once and for all to Sonic that he is the fastest in the universe. Later at the end of the game Jet and Sonic have a race to prove who gets the title of fastest and all of the Ark of the Cosmos. Jet and Sonic tie and Sonic gives his Ark of the Cosmos to him. Tails figures out that the Arks use Black Holes to use Gravity Control and if all of them are close enough to Babylon Garden the the entire world be sucked up by the massive Black Hole it would make.

One of Eggman's robots flies into the room and steals the Arks from Wave and flies them to Babylon Garden. Babylon Garden reverts back into it's usual form as a space ship and a black hole appears at it's center and begins sucking in the world. Jet, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Wave and Storm fly to the Garden and defeat the Core: ABIS program. The last cutscene from the game is Sonic, Tails, Knuckles driving through a city and Jet flying up beside them and challenging Sonic to another race.

Few people notice that Jet has the opposite color scheme to Sonic. Sonic is blue with green eyes, but Jet is green with blue eyes (Scourge the Hedgehog has the exact same color scheme).

Jet's original name was intended to be "Wind".

Alignment:
Neutral

Likes:
Himself, treasure, lounging, sleeping, money, daydreaming 
about being rich, stealing, airboarding, tickling Sonic (pause).

Dislikes:
Anyone who is faster or more confident than him (Sonic).

Main Skill:
Extreme Gear specialist.

Friends/Allies:
- Storm the Albatross
- Wave the Swallow
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Miles "Tails" Prower
- Knuckles the Echidna
- Amy Rose

Out of the all the Sonic characters to have officially raced Sonic, he is the first character to have beaten him. BALLIN'.

To many Sonic fans, Jet is considered one of Sonic's greatest rivals and ally.
