I swear you are insignificant Guru

alrite...this is informal so bear with me. I just left UC and while I was preparing to leave I see guess who, Guru Savant. Now, I don't...excuse me, didn't have no problem with him 'cuz "its just hip hop" haha. But I ignore his entrance, bleh. As I'm leaving I see him so I cordially give him the nod, you know, mutal respect. See, this is where the story to him, gets messed up because apparently he didnt see the nod, didn't feel acknowledged enough or whatever but I hear a distinct "PHUCK YOU!" and I without thought give the middle one back to him, just a habit.

Guru, kid you dont know me, dont run around claiming this isnt beef and it is just hip hop because if it was then I totally get it, friendly competition right? No problem, but if you got a problem with me please say it to my face...don't wait til im walking out the door to talk trash....or at least tell your friends to shut up cuz they DAMN sure dont know Shaun Fauste. I let you call me Grimm because business wise its what I am recognized as. But, man...I dont know about you. You really are in no position to talk smack 'cuz basically I have done nothing to incure such hatred to go and use the word "FUCK" and to use me as a noun in your sentence is simply preposterous.

So, all I do is laugh because you are truly petty, now I debate responding because I chose to respond to a real emcee, not someone who talks trash behind my back...literally. You will just have to wait til March 8th.....

P.S.- After this, I am done with UC rappers, UC guys (not all but you know if you fake), and mmm, 77% of UC women.

Thanks for Rockin' with the KID

Cliques, Sects, Posses, Gangs, Crews...Things Never Change

 

(The Warriors, 1979)

Who did you always sit at the lunch table with in high school?

Jocks with jocks, prissy girls with prissy girls, nerds with nerds, et cetera. I always thought the clique thing was stupid in high school. Well, at least for my first two years. More often than not, I was at a different table every single day at lunch. It kinda seemed like all the black kids sat together, but most of them were athletes,usually Football or Basketball(if there weren't in the gym playing)...our nerds at St.X were no ordinary nerds, they called themselves The Dragon Kids. They often partook in playing Magic: The Gathering, a popular trading card game, whilst they ate. Swimmers usually sat together.

The swimmers were the oddest folks to interact with, more so than The Dragon Kids, who usually talked about World of Warcraft or Mountain Dew. The swimmers had a secret code, I guess. They would arrive to school EVERYDAY around 6A.M. to swim. They swam so much, brown headed cats were becoming blond. I could understand why they were so tight knit, they win State EVERY year. Ask about the Bombers in the water, you'll get blown out of it...

There were TX kids too. (Theatre Xavier) TX kids usually were also affiliated with The Dragon Kids, but they were pimps, they got to work with ladies from St.Ursula and Ursuline, who all loved an artist(chicka-chicka yeah). I stayed after school a lot and lolly gagged in the hallways when I wasn't writing rhymes in the Retention Center.

Then you had your upperclassmen who had their divisions and such, I rarely hung out with them, they usually shooed me away for being a freshman...or a sophomore.

Then there was the clique I was part of. In my mind, I called us The Lunch Club, because everytime we got together, we ordered pizza or we were eating something. It was me, Ace Boogie, our friend, A-ROD23rd, and this cat named EJ, who raps under my old pseudonym, Mphamous(Infamous, but with an M in front, get it?). The first time we hooked up, we chilled at a Micky D's. Grimm used to wanna try and join us, but for unexplained reasons, A-ROD did not like Grimm, therefore we were kinda forced to ditch him on occasions. It wasn't that we didn't like him, it just didn't feel right to invite somebody to somebody's house and they don't approve.

..........So, when I hit college, I thought the clique thing will have evaporated, but it seems to be worse. College Freshman are nothing but a group of grown kids, I've come to learn. It felt like I was a kid again in the college atmosphere. There's nothing wrong with that....I wouldn't trade my Green Team membership for the world, we had TOO many good times together, man....

"AIN'T NO CLIQUE LIKE THE ONE I'M WITH"

Green Team: Okayest Times Pt. Deux(Deux is two by the way, you gotta get yourself some deuxs)

1.Spitting on each other because Fatso was tearing us new ones.

2.That time we blew at the OTHER gaze-fuck and M.O. entertained us with freestyling as it snowed.

3.When I had a foot race with Tweezy for those C-M Swags and lost.

4.When Tweez told Erbpeach, "Bet you can't do it on a dick!"

5.Listening to "Dick Pleaser" in Kief's car.

6.Fighting over Sponge-Fuck's green American Eagle hoodie when he was gone.

7.Trying to learn the way Kief stands.

8.That one time at the Pine gaze-fuck when Ace looked like he was comatose....the early zoot-suit days..

9.When M.T. Bag performed that group "Grindin' " on the wall, and when I did the 1,000 Hand Slap, then the Hyper Knee.

10.When J.Young came through and we all knew he was lying about his fight with so-and-so.

I guess cliques ain't so bad.....Contra, or Metroid?

P.E.A.C.E

Too much free time. I remember when I needed to buy some time, now I'm trying to spend it...

SNOB (Something Nobody Ordinarily Becomes)

 

So, I was doing my regular Internet browsing and I read about Kanye West being featured on The Wake Up Show or The Good Morning Show, some show that has to do with waking up at the ass crack of dawn...

Anyway, we all know West is known for his arrogant/cry baby attitude. Well, on this show, his arrogance was on 1,000,000%^2, (in case that looks like a bunch of numbers and symbols to you, it essentially means, one million percent squared....back to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress). He was talking a whole bunch of shit. He was like, "If I don't wear Ed Hardy, you shouldn't wear Ed Hardy. If you like it, that's cool." Then he stated his musical beliefs, "I don't say whose music I think is wack, I just say who I'm a fan of. I know my power and I don't want to take food out of anybody's mouth." (These words aren't verbatim, by the way)

This made me think about the shit I talk here on the blog. If anybody that I have talked lowly about, (refer to the post: Top 10 Wackest Emcees Of All Time) has read the material, know that I respect you as a human being, that's a given. But as music artists, I don't approve. They say actions are stronger than words, but depending on the actions, words last a lot longer...in my own humble opinion...

This leads me to the question: Why do rappers gain a God-like attitude when they get recognized?

I guess it comes from the money, power and women....you know? You figure if you get paid hella to talk rhyming words over beats, and you can afford to do things you'd never imagine, that'll change how you think.....

A motto I keep in mind: if you're good at something, why not conduct yourself like you're the best at it?

It makes sense. If you make beats, do you not usually think they're the best thing since sliced bread? If you rap, don't you usually think your rhymes are the rhymiest rhymes that ever rhymed? So, I can understand if these entertainers think they're the greatest, I got no problem with that. What I hate is when people either suck at what they do, or aren't that good at what they do, and smell their own piss 'til the point their brain turns yellow. AND, when there's an undeserved sense of being more than human. You put your pants on the same way I do everyday..

"Hey, Em, you talkin' all this shit about other people being arrogant, but I be reading this blog, and you be talking that Demi-God shit ALL the time!"

Let me explain that to you....M.T. Bag, though we may seem cocky, arrogant, or superior, we are the most humble cats you'll ever meet. You get addressed like human beings when in our presence, you get treated equally. We shit on each other when we chill, so we'll shit on you too. The shit we talk on tracks isn't just for the sake of shit talk, it's just what we do. The music we do is done through us, though they may reflect personal opinions. The reason we don't let our modesty be heard is because, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.....not like we can't topple the industry, it's false conformity.

Grimm'll kill me when he sees the word 'CONFORMITY', we're anti-conformists....but, if you wanna catch folks' attention, you gotta cater to their likes sometimes. Not to the point where you contradict your own style, but to the point where people recognize it as something they'll like; they'll be like, "Hey, that's something different!" Plus, if you don't believe in yourself, who will?

I learned from a former art school peer, "Embrace your eccentricity." M.T. Bag are those different n!99@$. Why would you wanna listen to us if we were the same as EVERYBODY else, Auto-Tune, Snap Music making, faux thug, wanna be's?

The day Music On A CD drops, it's Judgment Day for the music industry, scratch that, THE UNIVERSE. That's not a threat, it's not arrogant, rap shit talk.....IT'S A GUARANTEE (man, that's a weird looking word)

And let me make one thing clear, if you're an upcoming artist and you love music as much as life itself....it's not that we don't care about your effort, it's just....until you make yourself known to us, we don't even know you exist.....so technically, yeah, WE DON'T CARE. Stay in your own lane, and you won't crash.

Man, that sure did get way off topic....Let me bring it back...

 

P.E.A.C.E

P.S.-Tomorrow should be live! M.T. Bag and Green Team together at a Mardi Gras party, heauxs is in trouble!!! Oh, yeah, I remember this dude used to rap at art school, he said something like, "I ride with the top down, the car look like Mardi Gras".....something like that....Fuck it!

It Takes 4 To Tango Tango De La Muerte

I got to thinking while I was playing my other favorite SNES discovery,

Contra 3: The Alien Wars(don't get me started on how epic this joint is), and I thought about The Most Thizzle Boys And Girls as I always do....to my knowledge, we're the only upcoming group of emcees in a quartet....


I try to keep an ear out for what we're up against. Honestly, despite how many millions upon millions of rap acts out there, me being The Man Without Fear, I find it hard to feel a sense of fright or competition.  It's a dog-eat-dog world and these n!99@$ are Cujo, maybe War Dogs....I haven't decided yet....It's kill or be killed, and you can contact us at 1-800-HOMICIDE, but we hate our jobs, so we'd much rather you call 1-800-SUICIDE(look out for this line in a future lyric).


The reason there aren't too many rap groups with four members is simple, either they rap fast and must fill up all that extra song space(Bone Thugs-N-Harmony), or them dudes is doo(Dem Franchize Boyz)...don't take that as a sneak diss, lyrically, you know DFB ain't the hottest cats on the planet....


For this reason, M.T. Bag was never meant to be perceived as a rap act, even though how we do our music fits Hip-Hop/Rap the most....The group name was crafted so we wouldn't sound like a rap act, we wanted to sound like a band, and that's what we are. We aren't just rappers, we are musicians, see me? These are some swagtastic/influential quads we admire around these parts.

 

COLDPLAY:(From left to right:Johnny Buckland, Chris Martin, Will Champion, and Guy Berryman )Back when they came out with "Yellow", I was an ignorant lil son of a gun. I never gave them a chance. If it wasn't Rap, I didn't wanna hear it. Not until I heard Jay-Z's "Beach Chair" and Kanye's "Homecoming" did I accept Coldplay into my musical repertoire. Grimm came around one time and was talking how much he liked Coldplay and such, and he was tired of people picking at him because his musical taste was a little wider than most people's. I had the chance to hear their newest LP, Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends, and I instantly fell in love with the sound. The most stand out songs on the album, "Violet Hill", where I sampled "If You Love Me" from, and "Lost!". After hearing this record, I got a jolt in me step to get up and listen to their older material.

 

THE RAT PACK: (From left to right:Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Sammy davis Jr.) I'm not familiar with much of their material, but I did make a beat out of a Sammy Davis Jr. song....One time at Ace's house, I sat on the couch and listened to Sinatra 24/7, the music was poignant and relaxing...oh, when music was music. I admire The Rat Pack because they made music for the sake of music and entertainment. Those bastards were rich, but it wasn't from selling records, it was the shows they did night after night after night. They were true emcees, they knew how to move the crowd. You can tell they loved their music, they all got like 60 albums under their belt...damn, they got more material than Lil Wayne will ever have. Fuck Blood Money, Thug Money, XXL Money, I want Rat Pack Money.

 

:METALLICA:(From left to right: Kirk Hammet, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Jason Newsted) By the way, this is the original line-up I grew up on. When I was coming up, this was all that played at my house. Kids were being raised on Biggie Smalls, 2Pac, and Juvenile and some other shit....The Black Album is probably the best album to ever be recorded. I used to watch them on tour and I wanted that life. Going on the road, people knowing your name, chicks flashing the band, and the stories the band shared, I always wanted that. Despite the roster change up, Metallica remains as one of my favorite bands of all time, pure badass.

THE BEATLES(From left to right:George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon) The Beatles were the biggest influence upon my mind state on taking this music seriosuly. They used to bust their asses to do paid shows, and more often than not, non-paid shows. They copied flyers and worked to get on the radio. They worked for years to get their name out, and finally, THEY BLEW THE FUCK UP! They went from a group of nobodies, to a nation sensation, heart throbs and the most recognized band of all time. The Beatles appear 11 times on The Rolling Stones' Greatest 500 Albums of All Time list, with 4 of them appearing in the top 10, DAMN! Remember what I said about Rat Pack Money? Well, money was worth more back then....now, I want Beatles MONEY!

So, after looking at these successful quads, now you should understand why M.T. Bag doesn't refer to themselves as a rap group, we are a band, and don't you forget it!

P.E.A.C.E

Now, back to this Contra....

Trial & Error/ Chasing Pavements

A song that's been running through my mind, and playing on the iPod for a minute, is gonna make its way into my repertoire of phenomenal beats....Adele "Chasing Pavements".

"Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements, even if it leads nowhere?"

After watching hours of the idiot box, mainly, House of Payne, something stood out to me....CJ was talking to Malik(to the HoP illiterate, CJ[G-Money from New Jack City] is the father of his son, Malik). He told him something along the lines of: "You can't choose a career based on the women and the money. Do something you're passionate about."

They always say chase your dream, but you need a back up plan. Back up, shmack up! If you're chasing you're dream, you're right, even if you're wrong...

I read something too, somebody said something like, "God wouldn't put you through so many obstacles if He didn't think you could make it past them."

Sometimes I question life, where am I gonna end up, why am I really here? You know the usual...When I attended college, I stumbled upon some inspirational  literature by Deepak Chopra.

Who Am I? I am the universe acting through a human nervous system.

Where Did I Come From? I came from an energy that was neither born, nor will ever die.

Why Am I Here? To create the world in every moment.

I feel like this effort was meant to be, yet, due to these obstacles, sometimes I just don't know....I'll never give up on it, I've invested too much time and effort into it. But, damn, sometimes it just feels like an examination. My best good music computer crashes and I'm cursed with a fucking Macintosh that doesn't do anything.

I spent from 2 A.M. this morning all the way to 8 A.M., downloading what I was led to believe was a Digital Audio Workstation, like Fruity Loops, but not quite. I open the bastard, but it required an external program to make it work. Geesh, ok, it took 15 minutes to download a 12MB file...why did it take so damn long? I tried installing it, I had to give the adminstrator's password, it's not my computer, so I asked my step-dad what it was. Got it. SHOWTIME, right? WRONG!

I opened that bitch, it was nothing but a wack, watered down Cubase. No sequencer, no nothing.....

With great power comes great responsibility, I guess. Nobody does it likw, M.T. Bag, I know that, so I'm not afraid of any other acts out there.We got enough charisma to liven a stadium full of dead people, so controlling a crowd isn't a big deal to me....it seems making the music is my difficulty. 

If you can read this, this is an S.O.S, send me a fully funtional PC....

I'm going out of my mind without hearing fresh beats I'm making on the daily, so I gotta listen to old shit on my iPod. I don't want to write to those beats, I want my phenomenal tracks....People in hell want ice water.....

Catholicism And All Its Wisdom

Well, we got two whole days left in Black History Month....wow, this is the most unobserved BHM yet.


Nobody has done anything regarding this month, not that I care, but damn, I couldn't get a Blaxploitation movie marathon or something? Geez...


As it seems, yesterday marks the beginning of Lent. When Grimm, Ace, and I attended Jesuit school, we often had to go to Mass. It was a gift and a curse, hey, I got the chance to miss the classes I dreaded, but I had to sit for two hours hearing a bunch of bologna I didn't believe in. The cool part was the sparkling soda, I swear it was real wine because, on an empty stomach, I swear I was drunk....eh, maybe not.


Lent was the worst part of the year because I felt Catholic beliefs were stupid, today, I still do. At X they encouraged religious tolerance, if you believe it and I don't, more power to you, I just won't succumb to the bullshit. The part I really got a laugh off of was Ash Wednesday. I think it's dumb, but if you believe in it, I got nothing against you. What's the purpose of putting a cross of ash on a person's forehead and walking around with it there all day?


When they dismissed Ash Wednesday Mass, I took the liberty to wipe mine off. People were like, 'Hey, you know you're ash isn't there anymore?', I go, "Yeah, I'm aware of that."


The most comedic part of the whole Lent thing, is giving something up. I've heard some off the wall things people gave up, from young'n's cigarette smoking to old folks giving up sex....yuck!


What thoroughly pissed me off the most about Lent, at X, I don't know if I'm making this up or not, my memory is oh so terrible, on Fridays, we usually had Larosa's pizza for lunch....during Lent, they served fish.......Don't quote me on that, I don't really think it happened. Around that time, I didn't like fish, today, it's still not my favorite animal to eat...depends on how it's cooked. Let me tell you something, you shouldn't eat ANYTHING from a gas station(i.e. spinning hot dogs) or church prepared fish. It's like a UFC fighter and a pacifist in your stomach, they don't agree.

 

Since it's Thursday, let me hit y'all with a Throwback.....since I feel Lent is so damn silly!

Break Out Of The Routine And Try Some New Things

Man, oh, man....do you remember 1990's children's programming? They would do the same thing every episode, just different situations would happen...It's the same way with Maury....Sure, he offers different kinds of episodes, but Cheaters episodes and Secret Admirer shows don't bring in the ratings. After a few years of watching this mind-numbing nonsense, I've gathered up some questions....


1.Are the men and women in charge of their mini-videos? When a mother is trying to confront a man about if he is the father of her child, she gets all hype and starts dissing the guy like, "They got the same peanut head, and the same little d**k!" They always seem to attack the groin on television....When the homies get up there, they always make their videos look like rap videos. Dudes be talking and looking into odd places, like they're SOMEBODY. It's kinda funny.


2.If a man isn't the father, why does he Lean With It, or do the Dougie dance, or the Stanky Leg?


3.If a man isn't the father, why do the women get up, and run to the backstage crying?


4.If a man's fathership is in question, why does his mom come along for the ride? Were you there?


5.How come the finest women hook up with the ugliest of guys and have babies by them?


6.How come all the baby girls' names are Neveah?


7.When the man comes out, why does he flip the bird to the crowd?


8.Is it Maury that cusses when he reads off Paternity Tests?


9.When the badass kids appear on the show, why are the parents afraid of them? Beat that ass!


10.When a man is in question about being the father and he's with another woman, how come the woman he's with currently is uglier than the woman confronting him about being the dad?


That's all that comes to mind right about now....

"Have A Few Words With My Cannon"

It's official, I think I have found the illest game known to mankind....Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Ever since my post on Mac Vs. PC with the Metroid picture, I decided to do a little hunting. I found an online flash version of the NES version of Metroid and I tried to play it. The gameplay was dirt slow, I figured because it was not only a remake, but because it was online.


So, what does a person with hella free time do? He finds emulators and roms....ask me a few years ago, and I would've told you, you were crazy if you thought you could play a SNES game on anything but an SNES. It took me the greater part of the day to find an emulator compatible with this booty Macintosh.


I finally got it, but I couldn't find a rom of Super Metroid....they had Shaq-Fu of all games, but not Metroid. I download Super Double Dragon to test it, and I eventually found what I was looking for on the 'Net. I spent about 15 minutes playing Metroid.....ALL 15 of those minutes were pure action. I have never laid eyes on a more epic SNES game.


The Moon Walk feature is shittin', Samus curls up into a ball and lays bombs, she shoots missles....Megaman ain't got shit on Metroid.

I need to get out more!

"If I Ruled The World"/The Realest Shit I Ever Wrote, Er, Typed

 

....a simple run down of things I'd change if I 'ruled' the Earth.....no, this ain't a Pinky & The Brain scheme to take over the world, just my feelings at the time...

1. Stop paying actors/actresses, athletes, musicians, et cetera, such high salaries. Sure they're giving their all each and every night, or film, or song, but when there's an incurable virus out there that's killing people by the millions, it kinda makes you wonder what our priorities are.

2.Get rid of things like Title IX and Affirmative Action. This is Survival of the Fittest, right? Make people wanna strive instead of giving them that safety net mentality. If you were wack at the try-outs for a Basketball team, did the coach give you spot anyway because it was fair? Hell no, you gotta earn it...

3.(I guess I can't really change this one...)Make it so people accept each other for who they are and what they like...It'll take an effort on EVERYBODY'S part on this one. People critique things based on their own mentalities or social prejudices, some of which are unnecessarily ignorant. I.E: Racism, Sexual Phobias, et cetera...What does the color of one's skin or how they lay at night affect who they are as a person. It's cool to joke around, ya mean? But when feelings get hurt and rights get denied, then damn, how American is that?

4. Abolish the Death Penalty, Allow Free Choice and Avoid War. If the Holy Bible,  which we swear upon in courts(separation of Church and State, my ass!), states, Thou Shalt Not Kill, what gives us the right of taking the life of a criminal who decided to take another's? Just make him rot in jail. If a person kills another in self-defense, would you give them the Death Sentence? ('That's different'...no it's not) If a woman decides to abort her child, let her...in the wild, do animals not eat their young? Are humans not animals? "MAN is the only ANIMAL that blushes-or needs to". It's her choice, let her take it up with The-Man-Upstairs, eh? "War, huuuuh! YEAH! What is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING!" Why make a group of people fight a fight that's not theirs? What do we go to war over? Natural Resources, usually. Natural Resources that have been put here for ALL of us. Did Barney not teach you a damn thing? SHARE!

5. (Music world thing, right here) Stop bitchin' about Hip-Hop sampling music...This is a really personal thing I wish muthafuckas would get over. Music is a form of Art. I know a thing or two about Art. Let's take it to painters and such. Back in the day, and I mean baaaaaaaaaaack in the day, artists were the entertainers of their time. Honestly, I believe, if you made cash money off of your music when you made it, do you need that extra cash when somebody else makes a hit off your record? Back to the Art thing. When sculptors followed the cannons of those who preceded them, do you think those who came before them got all pissy, like, "Hey, you stole my ideas!" Nothing lasts forever. Things may last a very long time, but nothing is forever. The point of Art is self-expression and in some cases, keeping older art alive. In the Art world, artists followed the same techniques, it was inevitable, people felt they could do things better than others through, Realism, Impressionism, and Tenebrism....just to name a few. If money is your motivation to make Art, then I guess I can understand why you'd get pissed off....Like when Rick James made "Super Freak" and MC Hammer made "Can't Touch This" out of it, James was pissed, but he got his royalties...When Kanye West made "Stronger" out of Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", Daft was impressed and they were honored that good music was made out of good music....If I sample your record, it must mean, your song was so good, I had to try and match or better the sound....Like the downloading of music trend, sure it took a couple extra dollars out of the pockets of those we wanted to listen to, but that means, we love your music. Isn't the point of this music game to make music and let it be heard, not to slap vocals over instruments and expect a paycheck?

The best example of an artist I can think of, Hip-Hop wise, is Coolio. He stated that he doesn't make music for the money, though it is a nice addition. It's kinda like Grimm's philosophy on women, a pretty face is only a plus....

The fire that once burned inside of me that I thought was extinguished is once again burning, and with every waking day, the fire is fed by my drive to make my dream come true. That's why I enlisted the help of my closest friends to make this dream a reality. That's why when we start doing these shows, we're going to give it 1,000,000%^2 and if you don't believe me, then you don't believe in Hip-Hop.

"Chicka-chicka, yeah!"

Superbad, we know it and love it over here in M.T. Bag, along with all those other movies by that guy who brought us, 40 Year Old Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Pineapple Express...

As of recently, I've noticed a trend amongst folks...I'd say it's a year or so late, but EVERYBODY seems to be hooked to the phrase "Fuck My Life".....

Y'all N!99@$ can't be real.  You live in America, what's so bad about your life? For real....I know there are some folks in America less fortunate than others, I pay my respect to those who couldn't help but be impoverished, as for the others who did nothing in life, I'm not gonna say you deserve it, but you gotta keep, keep on....

I learned life is about the journey, not the destination. Have as many experiences as you can because "You never know when you're gonna go". That's why LRG is my main shit, it's the "Equipment for Life's Journey". The majority of folks who say this are college kids....Ain't nothing worng in your life...There's people living in Third World countries who don't know if they're gonna eat on any given day....So back to the experiences, you're gonna have some good ones, and you're gonna have some bad ones....the bad ones may seem to be worse than the good, probably because folks over react so damn much....always remember, through the good AND the bad, you're still ugly....

Thought I'd throw some comic relief in there...

19.Ready For War ft. Dr.Dre

He's got his usual producers, Havoc, Eminem, Dr.Dre, Scott Storch, Hi-Tek, and Sha Money XL...don't forget J.R. Rotem, Play-N-Skillz and Don Cannon.

Rick Ross' track list isn't complete yet, but he has a lot of guest features....Nas, Kanye West, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Lil Wayne, Birdman, T-Pain and Busta Rhymes....Ross said in an interview, his music is more potent than 50's (this is kinda true, just because 50's style is so basic now and Ross says a lot of shit, but it don't mean nothing, it just sounds good) and if 50 sells 10 Million records, his album will sell 12 Million. Bull and Shit, but we'll see...

Last tidbit, big ups to my favorite rapper of the XXL Class of 2009. Drumroll please.....

 

(Charles Hamilton)

Apparently, Sonic the Hamilton's music video for "Brooklyn Girls" is gonna make its 106 & Park debut tonight...."It looks like you made it!" According to Third World Records, however, this is only the beginning. "Our work is never over". Big ups to the pink guy, though. It's about damn time we get a real record on the countdown.....I can only wonder, will "Stanky Leg" rank higher? We can only wait and see......

N*E*R*D....So?

 

Where the hell is my FUCKING Nintendo? I wanna play my FUCKING Nintendo! I wanna get my Nintendo back! I wanna get my Nintendo back!

Well, technically, my SNES isn't missing, just the plug to make that bitch work is AWOL, somewhere at Ace Boogie's house....which I don't even understand why it's there. I can't have my FL Studio, I can't play Nintendo, I've been going stark raving mad around this bitch! FUCK!!! Grimm told me he found his NES, I'm not too certain if that bitch works...if it does, I know four games I want for it....

Metroid

Megaman

Double Dragon

Earthbound

Remember that down....since I put up the post with the Megaman and Metroid pictures, I decided to find an emulator for NES/SNES....since I got this BULLSHIT ASS Macintosh, that's not going down either(was Mac designed for 'window shopping'? You know, like, seeing a whole bunch of shit for computers that's ONLY available to PC users...shit's wack!). I was playing an online adaption of Metroid for NES and the shit was dirt slow, but from what I played, I want that shit. I also want Super Metroid for the "Moon Walk" feature.....Samus shoots enemies walking backwards, shit sounds pimper than Run Saber right about now....

 

This map looks like it'll tear a hole in your mind! I want it!

Leave Luck To Heaven FOREVER...

I'm An Uber Rapper/Producer And I'm A PC

 

Howdy, heauxs! Ever since the crashing of my PC, I've been having a hard time trying to get back into the groove of making beats. You know, you can't make rap music without the beats, unless we go a capella, and that's not my cup of tea. For blogging and staying in loop, I've been using a Macintosh computer. In my opinion, Macintosh is the dumbest idea of anything, EVER! Ok, it has its ups, but the downs really outweigh them shits.

MACINTOSH:

Pros:

Wave Menu Dock, it's sexy, I like that shit

The ability to drag pictures right off the Internet

It's powerful and starts up quick

Like, no viruses

Powerful as hell

Cons:

It runs little to no essential programs needed to do shit(i.e. FL Studio)

Some Macintosh cpus don't offer a right-click(Thank Beejeezus I got one of those that does, or somebody would die)

PC:

Pros:

Universally known, well accepted

Easy to navigate, does shit

Cons:

Trojans and viruses risk is pretty high

Crashing/freezing

Kinda slow, dog

The computer game is like, y'all come from the same concept.....why don't y'all do the same shit? Look at it like:

  

Megaman, he's a PC

Megaman would represent the PC because EVERYBODY knows a thing or two about him. Upgradable, interchangeable, and packs a punch. Universally accepted, ya?

Samus Aran of the Metroid series

Samus is an underrated character, much like the Mactintosh. Sleek and sexy, but nobody knows the troubles she's seen. Powerful, but the bugs still gotta be worked out. They limited her powers on Super Smash Brothers, showing 'they' didn't care much for her abilities. You probably didn't know she was a girl......anyway....

I'm in need of a PC, M.T. Bag can't do what they do if MZA can't crank out those beats y'all jam to, eh?

I'm an uber rapper/producer and I'm a PC.

Chief Rocka

"I am the Chief Rocka so I guess I am in charge"


You may be a tad lost about what I'm talkin' about. Up here (points to head), it makes complete sense. Technically, I guess this has been done before, but who cares, this is me we're talkin'.....Anyway. I thought about my most recent beat (If You Love Me(Instrumental), since I've been listening to it non-stop since I made it. The way I'm gonna make my beats from now on, is the way a Native American would do it.....don't call me racist.....


The way the Natives lived prior to the White man coming through and taking shit, when they ate an animal, they utilized ALL parts of its body. This is how I feel about the way the beat was made. I sampled a part of the song, looped it through and through for the verse. Then I sampled the chorus and expanded it some in the chorus for our song. I included the guitar solo as well to add a touch of LISTENABILITY, and I added an outro, using the same outro Coldplay used to end their song. Now, some folks would complain that people shouldn't sample other people's music, but I don't see the problem with it. I believe if you add your own personality to the sound, it's perfectly fine, and I would be honored if I was a part of making music so good, somebody wanted to use it in their song.....but that's all my opinion.


At Third World Records we're all about good music. That's why we make tracks under A Long Time A.G.O. Music...in case you're not familiar with its meaning, it stands for: A Long Time Ago Geniuses Organized Music. Our mission is to make music with the same quality and emotion as the artists who came before us and layed it out so we could have what we have today. We're gonna do the old school proud. There's nobody(well, a few) that makes music with the same drive and determination as us.  Skeem is back for a reason, because it was meant for The Most Thizzle Boys And Girls to rise and be the finest artists of our time 'til INFINITY!


Once we grip the attention of the Third World, we're setting up shop on Mars, and that's far out....


Time for bed..

Most Thizzle Boys And Girls On Tour

 

  

Greeting's, folks! It's The E-M-P bringing you a promise. I know we have continually let you down by not doing shows. To this day, M.T. Bag has never performed live as a whole. It kinda pisses me off that we haven't done so. So........I drew up a Summer tour list. Yeah, we're making big moves. Tuesdays at The Mad Frog, Thursdays at Baba Budan's. All the info you'll need is on these cards, er, pictures.

No ifs, ands, or buts! Ace Boogie may be getting a license soon, and Grimm may be getting a vehicle soon.....This is a plan I have been thinking about since M.I.C was in production. We're gonna make it happen, fellas! Dead seriously!

These are the dates. If you're not from Cincinnati, and you love our music, don't feel left out, we'll film a few of our performances and Youtube them when the time comes. Yeah, I'm setting high standards, we're gonna make it happen! It's the only way to get the M.T. Bag word out...So....without further adieu, I present you our "Tour Dates"

Stand N D-liver

Yer... And I'm gonna post a picture of a fine bitch just because Murdock does...

Looka heer triq, I just finished my 127th black of the year and I'm slightly sizzurped...

Haha it's only 3:18pm. Anyway, ACE BOOGIE PUTS IN WORK ON THE MUSIC TIP!!! Just in the past couple of days, I've recorded an album worth of verses for this Spooks and Spoons promo CD. Why promo???

CUZ EVERYONE GETS A FREE COPY. So much so if a member of M.T. Bag tries to sell it to you, then you have my permission to proceed to stomp them in the nutsbrr.

Since Mza departed from Fairborn, life's been moving slow...not just because i was phucked up mosst of the time either. It's boring up here alone. I can't wait for M.T. Bag to reunite at Wright next year. I hope Skeem comes along for the apartment.
Top Ten Blazes of last night...
OK I stayed over green team central under Kiefdaddy Wilkenfucks bed, and proceeded to Blaze wit Tweez for a good 45 minutes straight.

10) I'd rather grip a dick then phuck that pregnant bitch with clap like you (left out her name for her sake, shame on you if this is you and you read this blog.) Tweez --> Boogie

9) Pussy ass nigga, thats how you know you pussy...you GRIP DICK!!! Boogie --> Tweez

8) I know you ain't talking, when you look like Michael Jackson's first visitor... Boogie --> Kiefdaddy Wilkenpeech

7) Your a grip dicker!!! Sizzurped Tweez --> Boogie

6) What you say?! (Tweez)...BALLZ!!! (Boogie)

5)...I'm done

I was too phucked up to remember anything else from last night. Let me tell you what I did, I smoked two kinds a Dank in Fatso, fixed a toilet, bonged two beers, played two games o beer pong, and listened to the drafts of Spooks and Spoons at least 30 times...

And here's one of Ace Boogie's favorite fight scene..

Czech it out!!!

"I Say That Shit Just Clownin, Dog..."

Either, I stayed up too late, or I'm up early.....you be the judge.....


Anyway, I was watching the Academy Awards....the one with the Oscars......no, not the Grouch, and definitely not the wieners....


So, anyway, I have finally narrowed down the ladies I would really like to say "What up, what's happenin' " to....It goes a little something like this....

Penelope Cruz(The accent drives me....wild.....one of the few accents I can understand, surprisingly)

"Cats ask me why I rap...to bring real Hip-Hop back and snatch Kyla Pratt"-Empathy.....I never said that, but believe I will....I guess it's the 'ghetto girl' about her. Ghetto girls have always been untouchable in my book...She wasn't on the Oscars, but nevertheless...

 

EVERYBODY'S favorite FRIEND...It went, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe....She commands the screen no matter what she's in.....

Yupp....

Biter's Delight: Dope Rap

I've been listening....not just hearing the [rap]music, but listening.....this is what I'm hearing:

Guns
Money
Drugs
Bitches
Hoes
Club
Cars

Ok, then. I did "The Nigga Rap". Now, I present to you...........

Hood Rap

 I did this because I wanted to feel what these cats feel when they spend an entire career talkin' it. ****NOTE****:I ain't never sold dope, I ain't never shot nobody, and I don't know shit about being from the hood....this is an....experiment....


I got my first pack before I got my first car
Got my worst scars way before I wrote my first bars
My words are what the dope boys wanna hear, nigga
When you slavin' over the stove, know that I'm here witcha
For years, niggas from my hood been doin' bids
Havin' kids, shootin' shit, and then movin' bricks
I don't know who it is supplyin' the streets with weight and blow
I been tryna move out the hood, I gotta wait and grow
Since I was 8 years old, I been puffin' Mary Jane
Hopin' to inhale the smoke and have it remove every pain
Niggas got leady brains for thinking they know it all
A lot of niggas don't make it 21, some don't grow at all
We show our draws cuz we got stoves tucked away
In the Roc jeans. In my trunk is where I tuck that Yay'
Don't make me bust my '8, cuz I don't care for you niggas
I'll write your obituary, but I won't bury you niggas



Eh, that wasn't as entertaining as The Nigga Rap.......I'm not satisfied......

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

If you have been a long time visitor of this site then you may have noticed a slight change in the roster.

M.T. Bag originally had four members, and after the completion of M.I.C, we were left with three....but as of this morning, we are officially back to four members.

Skeem Da General made up his mind and came back to his Alma Mater.....shortly after Skeem left to pursue a solo career, I informed him, if he ever wanted to come back, he could.....At first, he seemed like he was much happier solo dolo, but I think it's about time the Dream Team is back together. We now can reach a broader audience....

This is how it can be broken down of whom we reach out to:

Empathy: Old People, Children, and Homosexuals

Ace Boogie: Sluts, Skaters, and Smart Asses

Shaun Fauste: All The Single Ladies, Poets, and Suburban Kids

Skeem Da General: Dope Boys, Hood Rats, and Real Niggaz

COOK BEANS! (Insider)

We're back in the go zone and all of our hearts are set on making this good music.....time to revise that XXL Magazine cover, eh?

The Heart Wants What It Wants(Matthew Neruda Is In The House!)

My homie, Grimm, posted a Facebook update not too long ago....it said something along the lines of "a bangin' personality outweighs good looks anyday".....I was taken aback, like, whoa, chick can't be swagged up and butt-ugly, can she? Well, there was a lady out there (and Boogie knows what I'm talkin' about) who had bangin' features and was a sweet soul sista, but only looked presentable when she was going to the club, I never got to know her well enough to be like, "You're beautiful, it's true" HAAHAAAHAHA!.....Lookin' good isn't all there is to it, and I learned that through watching television. I can't keep deriving my values from the idiot box, but it makes sense.

Who is this?

"That's Lieutenant Dan!" No, that's Steve Urkel, pay attention. Anyway, who was his heart set on from the beginning 'til the end?

 

That's right, Laura! She didn't want him for years. All the while, Steve had his heart set on Laura, who wanted him, but he didn't want her fine ass back?

MYRA! Ever since I was a young'n', I never understood why Steve wouldn't return her love......Ok, she came off crazy, and I guess you wouldn't want that, but maybe she'd act different if he hooked up with her, who knows?


Now, that I think about it, my journey in life was a tad similar...I'm the Old Man with the Sea, I was fishing for:

 

(You can try and guess what her name was.....that's why I referred to her as The Mermaid to my friends..)

When I was fishing for her, I always found this at the end of my rod:

 

Damn, can a brother "catch" a break.....Well, my "line" broke and now I can't "fish" anymore....I'm not dwelling in that "pond" anymore. I got new equipment and I'm in a different "pond" now....

So, I guess I can understand where Sonic, er, Steve was coming from....Damn, Grimm, yousa wise muthafucka.....
