Sp00ks&Sp00ns Review(Words By Empathy)

 

This production was organized and mostly produced by M.T. Bag's very own, Ace Boogie. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the end result of the project, but the name threw me off BIG TIME! I didn't worry because Ace always comes through. This project was due back in February, but due to difficulties and whatever other bullshit, it's here now! A link will be up in the Discography section soon, so you can jam like we do. This, and the rest of our LP's will be given out FREE when we make copies and such. Now, let's get into the critic shit!

(Mind you, I don't have this music anywhere except the iPod, so, I don't know the official tracklisting. We'll just review them the way they appear on the 'Pod.)

EONS--I made this beat back in January. I ripped the drums from Beyonce's "Video Phone". You probably can't tell. I thought this song was going on Music On A CD because we made it back when Skeem was absent. I remember when Ace said the hook to me, I loved it! I took first verse, it's the not the original one I wrote, but it's aight. Ace kept his original verse and he brought it. My favorite verse goes to Ben Grimm, "....Which means the gang can't be complete without the M.T. Bag Carter. Being like us, it ain't that hard, bra. Wanna start, well, take the swagger as a marker."

SILLY--I remember when Ace made this beat, I kept requesting for him to play it. The song starts with me talking Facebook shit and such. My stutter has become a "catch phrase" amongst us. Ace comes in the "yurs" and delivers my favorite chorus of the album. My verse on this song is my favorite on the LP. I love how Skeem attacked the track. I dig how Ace rapped his off, "Jean Claude Van Damme, I'm raw!" I like how Grimm ends the song, "My life is the punchline.(No drums)" Too silly!

CINCINNATI'S FINEST--I made this beat on a Friday, and M.O. made us record on it that Saturday. This track was to go on Original Cin, but that never released, so it was carried over to Sp00ks. Ace does a superb job opening up, I kinda dropped the pace, delivery-wise, but M.O. kills it. I'm really in love with the beat, because I feel I did it better than whoever used the sample for Cam'Ron and them. This is a classic.

I'M GONE--This one was composed without me, I think I was in court when they started this one. Ace made the beat, WAAAAAY back in Winter Break, too much Guitar Hero. I threw a verse on it recently, could've came better. Ace shat on it in the beginning. The chorus is by M.O., but he didn't remember making it, but once reminded, he had his hand out. M.O.'s verse on this one is probably the best verse I've heard from him. "Now, some goonies they'll make an ass out you punks. Find the leader, smack him up, throw his ass, in the trunk. Spit in his face, piss on the body, leave him in the dump. Good luck, your career is dead in the first month." You don't get any goner than that, or do you?

ONLY A FEELING--Beat by Ace. It opens up on some vulgar shit. The track doesn't suck, but it's MY least favorite. I really like Grimm's verse on here though.

CALL IT A NIGHT--This song samples the end of my original verse for EONS. I said, "Overdose on complex styles and CALL IT A NIGHT, cuz I got more punchlines than a graph involved in a fight." Ace brings it as usual, I dropped an okay verse, and Skeem brightened the mood up with his comical ad-libs and nice verse. I nearly didn't make it on this tune. It's one of Boogie's oddest productions, but I dig it.

GENIUS--I made this beat. It was originally for Skeem's solo project's song, "Skeem Against The World". M.O. really liked it, so I let him use it. It's like another "Affiliates Third World". It's a decent track. It's not mediocre, it's just not THAT special to ME. I like Boogie's verse though. "Ace Boogie break hips like Arthritis on the dance flo'. On stage I stand triumphant, arm raised with my hand closed."

DISASTERPIECE--Ace beat. More Guitar Hero in that ass! This is only me and Boogie. Had I known that, I think I would've gone harder. I compare this track to GZA's "Shadowboxin' ". Ace is like M-E-T-H-O-D Man, because my tone is like GZA.

NIKES&PUMAS--Produced by me. This is probably the oldest beat on the LP. I NEVER intended the beat for usage, simply, for the lack of creativity. See, I sampled this song from a rap song, I don't like to do that. The song is Supreeme's "U Feel Lucky". The snippet comes from Negashi Armada's verse, "I need new NIKES AND PUMAS LIKE tabloids need rumors." I like how Ace opens it and how M.O. kills it, but my favorite verse goes to Grimm. "I'm a fiend for them checks, every time I hit a check, (WHA-LAA), I spend half on them checks."

GOODBYE--Another Boogie beat. I hear the original song was to only include Boogie, M.O. and Grimm, but somehow me and Skeem got on it too. It opens up with a nice verse from Grimm, then M.O. sneak dissing or whatever, I try to drop some inspiration, Skeem drops a nice one, and Boogie does his thing. This is probably the nicest Boogie beat on the LP.

M.I.L.K POUCH--We did this song right before the LP was sealed. We got really blowed and just decided to do tracks. I came up with the concept, I think. Grimm gave the milk a nice acronyms. Music Is Like Kakes. It's too easy, so we dropped it. I love this song, it reminds me of the old school.

COMMON CROOKS--This beat was recorded on back when the atmosphere was Original Cin. I got eaten alive by Relly Boi and Stuntman. Now, Ace, Grimm and Relly Boi are the only suspects. I dig the hook, real 50 Cent-ish. Big ups to Relly for representing.

PEACE THAT SHIT OUT--I love the hook for this one. This is probably gonna be the biggest hit off the LP. The intro is Ace saying, "Ben Grimm is the master." That was a wager over the new Star Trek movie. Grimm and Ace were arguing over who played Captain Kirk. I don't know how it ended except, Ace lost the bet. I'm glad Mpulse didn't make the cu. This LP would send us directly to jail if we did. Good show!

BLAZIN'--If you don't raise your hand at the beginning, you must not want none. This was to originally go on Skeem's solo album, but he's back, so, NO! This is a great stoner anthem. EVERYBODY brought it on this track. My favorite verse goes to Skeem, but Fatboy represents too. Technically, I appear on this song too, besides my Training Day ad-libs. Fatboy was kinda stuck on the lyrics, so I threw out Dan Akroyd and the verse ended, "And this is Fatboy, and if you get slapped, boy, you will turn blue and black like Dan Akroyd." I'm sure Green Team gets blowed to this one.

I'M GONE BAG MIX--This is like a Daytona 513, excluding me. I like this version more than the original. Go listen to this shit!

This LP gets an honorary 4.2 out of 5 in my book. Dig it?

Job searching today, yippie!

Lineage That'll Make Me Pennyless

 

Take a look at the album cover above. The man, Jesse Willingham, sitting at the bottom right is my great uncle, or cousin. I haven't really decided. Back in the day, Charles O. Collier and The Original Goldenaires were hot shit! Jesse organized the group in 1961, making it the oldest Gospel group in Cincinnati. In 1970 The Goldenaires signed with Hoyt Sullivan to a national record contract.

The hit single "I Come A Long Way," held #1 on the national charts for 15 weeks. The 70's brought the group even more success with such hits as; " Keep Walking By Faith," and " Going To The End," and in the 80's " Peace In The Valley," and " Looking For A Man," kept the group in the charts.

The 90's saw a change in the group, when lead guitarist and tenor singer, Charles O.Collier, took the helm as group leader. Charles has been with The Goldenaires for 25 years and Charles has heightened the group image with his singing/songwriting experience.

One day, I hope to get my hands on some of their songs. If the beats are hot, I probably won't have to pay royalties, since we're family and all!

(Salvia)

I don't have ANY experience with the plant, but apparently, it's worth EVERY cent.

When I went to SCPA, Stuntman told me about this dude who smoked it. Shortly after the effects kicked in, this dude started speaking Spanish to him. Dude got pissed off like, "THIS AIN'T MEXICO!" Green Team's, Tweez, told us about when he did it. He had it in a bowl and thought his hands were melting, so he dropped and broke the bowl....Damn!

My friend, Vlad, told me about when he took like three blunts to the face and a couple Salvia ones. He said he was in his OWN ZONE. This tempted me to try it, but I never knew where to find it. Now, it's much too late. On April 1st, Salvia will be labeled illegal in the state of Ohio. DAMN!!!

The Man, always crackin' down on a good time!

"You Just A Baby"

"Out With The Old, In With The New"........

For about as long as I've been alive, I've seen young'ns come into an industry and do it WAY better than the adults working. In the movie industry, we got McCauley Culkin, Haley Joel Osment, and Dakota Fanning. With the models, Jon Bonet Ramsey and the other messed up little girls. I saw something on the news once, this kid wrote a book on how to pick up chicks. Then, we have our beloved music industry. Let's take a trip down Memory Lane....

 

Kris Kross. (Left):Chris Smith "Daddy Mac". (Other Left): Chris Kelly"Mac Daddy". Most known for their 1992 hit, "Jump". They were discovered at age 12 in a mall by Jermaine Dupri. He claimed they looked like a rap group and he made some money!!! The group reunited in 2007ish and were due to release solo albums that probably came out, I'm not too certain. Their first release went four times Platinum, the next was Plat', and their third was only Gold. Good show!

 

Nasty NaS. He broke out onto the scene in 1991 on Main Source's "Live At The Barbecue". He was 16 years old and proved children got shits to say too. He went on to release an album labeled as a Hip-Hop classic, Illmatic, and if you're that out of the loop, look up an article I wrote on his discography.

 

Lil Corey. I'ma be real, I don't remember what he made, I just know he did a track with Lil Romeo in the '02.

Lil Romeo. I don't remember any of his songs. I just knew he existed when Lil Bow Wow was out....Scratch that. I remember when he remade "It Takes Two". And I do remember his inaudible verse on Master P's "I Need Dubs". I know he's got some Plat' under his belt. If not, he's living off his dada.

 

Lil Bow Wow. Currently, I don't know why he still calls himself Bow Wow. I just remember being in the 5th grade and the little girlies were bringing Bow Wow posters and folders to school and shit. The only songs I can say I like off rip by Bow Weezy are, "What's My Name?" and "Fresh Azimiz". I remember his song with the Big Tymers, it just wasn't that big of a deal. Do you remember the rape rumor? Dude came to my elementary school. He said, "What up, y'all? Stay in school and don't do drugs." Now yousa grown man, you wanna rap about smoking blunts, that don't fly with me. Anyway, he's got a lot of Platinum plaques, and he's a decent rapper, far from the best, but decent. Dig it?

"Fuck The Weatherman(Fuck 'Em), Fuck The Zodiac(Fuck 'Em Too)"

I've been following Horoscopes off and on for about a year and a half now. I never believed in them until they started to map out my days. I'd live my day then czech them against what the 'Scope says. I thought it was crazy how linear the readings were to my day. I haven't seen a reading recently, but I bet it's all the same. A few months ago, I got into Numerology, that's some eerie shit too. Cech it out!

This is me. My Life Journey number is 1.

The number 1 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward gaining greater independence and establishing yourself as a leader. A name producing a 1 Destiny may help you gain the talents to become a skilled executive with keen administrative capabilities, or perhaps a sales executive, or promoter. You have within you what it takes to become an original person with a creative approach to problem solving, and a penchant for initiating action.
Unless you Life Path shows that you won't need the help, someone may have to follow behind you to handle the details, but you know how to get things going and make things happen. As you develop, you will have little need for much supervision, preferring to act on your own with little restraint.
Progressing through life, you will become one who seeks to expand and broaden opportunities to find new careers and new inventions. You must develop skills in innovation and ingenuity. You have a good mind and the ability to use it for your advancement. Because of these factors, you have much potential for achievement and financial rewards. Frequently, this Destiny belongs to one running a business or striving to achieve a level of accomplishment on ones talents and efforts.
As you mature, you must become increasingly ambitious and determined. Self-confident and self-reliant must be yours, as you develop a strong unyielding will and the courage of your convictions.
The 1 Destiny presents a tendency for you to fear the routine and being in a rut. You often jump the gun because you are afraid of being left behind. The negative attributes of the 1 Destiny include one becoming egotistic and developing a self-centered approach to life. This is an aggressive number and if it is overemphasized it is very hard to live with. You do not have to be overly aggressive to fulfill your destiny. You do not have to dominate and destroy in order to lead and manage.

 

This is Grimm, Life #2.

The number 2 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward gaining an understanding of people and a greater spiritual sense of the world around you. A name producing a 2 Destiny gives you the tools to work very well with other people. Your destiny will be, in part, in the role of the mediator and the peacemaker. As you grow in this direction, you become sensitive to the feelings of others, you become diplomatic in handling complicated situations.
The spiritual potential for the 2 Destiny, and perhaps particularly so for the master number 11/2, is very high. You have the capacity to be inspirational, and the ability to lead merely by your own example. An inborn inner strength and awareness can make you an excellent teacher, social worker, philosopher, or adviser. No matter what area of work you pursue, you are very aware and sensitive to the highest sense of your environment. Your intuition is very strong; in fact, many psychic people and those involved in occult studies have the number 11/2 Destiny. Indeed, the 2 has a spiritual connection not found in other numbers.
In many ways you are dependent on others and seem to function best in a partnership or in some form of group activity. As you mature, modesty will run deeper in your nature, and you must work comfortably without recognition of your accomplishments.
Often, others will get credit for your ideas, and this must be of little real concern to you as you skill as a team play progresses. Cooperative, courteous, and considerate, you have the capacity to become an outstanding facilitator. You will have the capacity to organize and handle people, just as you will handle detail, rarely overlook anything.
As you fulfill your destiny, tactful and friendly behavior will increase your popularity, and nearly everyone will like you. Perhaps this is also because you are more content working with your ideals, rather than dollars and cents. The positive aspect of the number 2 Destiny is an always idealistic attitude. This is even more accentuated in the master number 11/2.
The negative 2 personality can be oversensitive and easily hurt. Too much of this number in your makeup can make you very shy and uncertain. Sometimes the excessive 2 energies makes one apathetic and somewhat indifferent to the job at hand; the ability to handle details is hampered in these cases.
Some 2s, and especially the 11/2s, struggle with a continuous sense of nervous tension; you may be too sensitive and temperamental. You tend to dream a lot and may be more of a dreamer than a doer. Fantasy and reality sometimes become intermingled and you are sometimes very impractical. You tend to want to spread the illumination of your knowledge to others irrespective of their desire or need.

 

Skeem is #7.

The number 7 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be toward thought, analysis, and the development of a mind skilled at searching out the truth. You must become accomplished at analyzing, judging and discriminating, so that little escapes your observation and deep understanding. In this you will become increasingly introspective, and value seclusiveness and solitude.
You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, and you must become an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals.
You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.
The positive aspects of the 7 Destiny are that you must be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it.
If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained. Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant.

 

Ace is #9.

The number 9 Destiny suggests that the direction of growth in your lifetime will be in benevolent activities, in compassion, and in worldly understanding. You are living up to and growing toward your Destiny when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others.
You must be willing to help others as you were intended to be the "big brother or big sister" type. You must work well with people, for you have the potential to inspire.
Creative ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this Destiny. Career fields in which you can excel are many and include advisory roles, medicine, legal fields, artistic fields, diplomacy, and religion.
Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important. Your personal ambitions must be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and preserving a sympathetic, tolerant, broad-minded and compassionate point of view. If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural Destiny in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others.
Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 Destiny can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this Destiny.

I think these are quite ON POINT! Dig it?

Crank Dat Weezy Wii/North Drive

This past weekend was a tad: NOTHING. We were to start filming, er, recording for Cin City. Sp00ks And Sp00ns is done. You can hear most of on our playlist. Don't be afraid to czech it out.

Wii Fitness was quite a big deal this weekend. Ace is 27 now, I think, I'm 28ish, Skeem is in his 30's and I think Grimm is in his in his 30s or 40s now. I'm not too clear. Grimm started a trend last night with the Mii's. I created Jay-Z, Grimm made Young Jeezy, and I made Lil Wayne for Skeem. After that,I made Snoopy, but Grimm and Skeem didn't think it looked like him. Ace knew who it was when he laid eyes on him. After that, Ace made Lupe Fiasco. Tennis became more fun when you add rapper shit talk to it. Oh, the times! The other Mii's made that night: Barack Obama and a failed Spiderman.

We watched a little South Park, I think. I was trying to figure out which M.T. Bagger was who on South Park. We reached a decision.

 

(For the SP-illiterate:[Left 2 right]:Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny)

Skeem is most definitely Cartman, making Grimm, Kyle. Stan is Ace making his girl, Wendy, and due to my financial situation, I'm Kenny. Makes sense. More analysis?

Cartman: Skeem is Cartman because, he's always attacking Kyle(Grimm) for his appearance. He's always coming up with "skeems" and shit. I think if you fucked with Skeem enough, he just might make you eat your parents.

Kyle: Grimm is most definitely Kyle. Ace said it was the hair. Less superficially, Kyle's character at times, feels left out of the loop. The Chinpokomon episode for instance. Kyle didn't understand the fad with the new show, but followed suit anyway to gain acceptance. I feel Grimm feels the same at times, but to what degree?

Stan: Ace was selected as Stan YEARS ago. Ok, maybe not, but it was a while ago. He was like, "Why, because I got a girlfriend?" Precisely. Less superficially, Stan is usually the most rational of the group, but has been known to fall into the b.s. every once in a while.

Kenny: On the outside, this is me. The hood always over the head. I'm not financially standout either. Personality wise, he's me ALL day. He wouldn't let the PSP go. I'd be kinda happy if my chick was rated a slut.....Last, but not least, my inaudible input is usually what makes or breaks situations.

Dig it?

Cin City is still gonna happen, when? Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know if it's there or not, but Relly Boi has a new song, "Goon City". It's nice, you oughta czech it out!

P.E.A.C.E

P.S.~What I say?

No Homo

Decent video. A little story, a little this, a little that. I like her Wayne song better. Anyway, here stands a beautiful woman, being fought over by two men. Hip-Hop Trojan War?

Kanye and Ne-Yo are under the media's eye, sexuality-wise. People think it, but never really say it. I don't have a problem if these cats are gay. I'm just saying, their roles in this video weren't convincing.........well, Ne-Yo brought more 'swag' than West did. West is under the scope for his out-of-the-ordinary dress code and the rumors about him wanting to do bi-sexual films. That's his business. Personally, I admire some of what he wears. The gloves and 'Dragon Ball Z' lookin' shoes don't appeal to me though....

 

Ne-Yo....in 2008, accusations were flying. I don't believe anything I read on the Internet, that includes what gets posted on this site. I get that mentality from my 9th grade Latin teacher. She was like, "Anybody can write what they want on a website." I always knew that, but when she said it, I just grew a Stone Cold Steve Austin mind, like, "Don't Trust Anybody." If these cats are homosexuals, that's their business. Honestly, I believe homosexuals make the best music. Sir Elton John, Queen, George Michael, David Bowie(still up in the air), and Mick Jagger(look up the allegations on him).

 

(Superhead/Ne-Yo, allegedly)

This isn't a bash, like I'm talkin shit about these cats. Just my thoughts at the time, right or wrong.....

Silly, Englishman, Tricks Are For Kids(Exposé)

I can't stress this enough, I've been watching A LOT OF TELEVISION lately. I've taken notice of some shady things. It's no longer the 1800s/1950s, so you can trust colored folks. Jewish people never dicked me on money, so trust them too. This white guy, who looked like Jesus, told me white folks can't be trusted either, give or take.....But, some cats I got my good eye on as of now are Englishmen. (***Please keep this in mind: I am JOKING***)

 

(Bear Grylls)

Known for being the youngest cat to climb Mt.Everest in 1998, Grylls has a show, you probably heard of it....Man Vs. Wild. He kicks Survivorman's ass. The cameras don't reveal ALL, though. I have a hunch Grylls is a member of NAMBLA(North American Man/Boy Love Association). I'm fuckin' with you. But really, maybe he's part of the Super Adventure Club......too much South Park....

 

(Hugh Laurie)

You should be on the lookout for Dr.House. He has an accent, but somehow masks it for the show. I was thoroughly  convinced he was American until I saw a sketch with him and dude that plays Mr.Bean. Tricky, you are.

(Curtis Stone)

The sneakiest of all the Englishmen, is the Take Home Chef. You can catch reruns on TLC. The concept of the show, Stone randomly picks out women in grocery stores, and offers to prepare a dinner for their family. Oh, yes, what you see on the camera makes you think he's harmless...I saw the Jude Law, Alfy, and I've seen A LOT of Hugh Grant films. You can't fool me. Husbands, beware. Don't fuck with Stone, cuz he'll prepare a three course meal, then, he'll fuck ya girl!

This is Matthew Williams, signing off, coming live from Cincinnati, broadcasting off of M.T.B. Back to you...

P.S~My apologies, Grylls is Australian...

To Whomever This May Concern: I Am DEAD

 

Coming up in life, I never had many ambitions, nor had any goals. Is that my fault? Yes. Yes, it is. So? What's my problem? I am not for this world, this world is for me.....Hell, that's what everybody thinks......Until they conform and give themselves up. I'm not taking the bullshit any longer. Fuck the rules, fuck the government, fuck institutionalism, fuck it all.

In America, being a celebrity is like being a demi-God. I don't want to be more than human, I don't want to be compared to God, I just want this existence to make sense. Anybody can do anything they put their mind to. With that said, I'm not going to die a failure, a loser. I'm going out like a champion. With THAT said, I have goals for the first time in my life.

 

I don't know what school that is, but that's besides my point. I'm resurrecting the idea of Chase Academy. Since I'm hopping on the band wagon, would you consider changing the name? The original idea was to offer education from Pre-School-PHD.......Alright, that seems a tad farfecth'd, but I think this idea would change the world FOREVER. With upcoming technologies and shit, and our knowledge on school spirit, I think this institution could be rated as a world famous school. "They got real cafeteria lunch!" or, "They have music studios and like forty different sports stadiums!" That would really be dope. M.T. Bag, giving back to the community and shit.........We'd offer every language known to man, every sport that is playable, then we'd have art/music programs, and then we'd have some diorite statues in the front modeled after us...

  

I'm aware there is already a Third World Records. We can probably merge or buy them out, which ever comes first. Third World Records is the dopest concept of a record label I've EVER heard, except for "Doo-Doo Records, cuz we the shit". I wanna be able to hand this down to my brothers and Boogie's brothers before my time is through.

It's far too late for me to be like Wilt Chamberlain, so I just devised a Smash Squad list:

(Havana Ginger)"MZA, you're so shallow!" I don't care.

 

(Audrey Bitoni)

 

(Aurora Jolie)

 

(Jasmine Byrne)

 

(Veronica Zemanova) 

I'm not saying anything else on the grounds that it may incriminate me....

So, what do I want to accomplish in the course of my life? Help found a "good" school, found my record label, so the sound of Third World Records can carry on for generations, and meet a few pornstars, is that so bad?

The bullshit, I'ma kill it!

Post #300!

Well, we've been doing this blogging thing for about 5 months now, and we're just now hitting post 300. I'm not too sure if that's good progress or not, so we'll just keep it going. In honor of post 300, I scooped a special treat for you that I thought was funny. You may already know this video, but take in stride.

"...Y Did U Do It? U Kno U Got Da Mad Fat Fluid When U Rhyme, It's 1/2 Time."

The other night I met a guy at UDF who stalled me from buying a Black&Mild. I had my headphones around my neck and he asked if I rapped. "Yeah, I do that." So he asked me to drop a verse, after spending 72 hours recording Sp00ks & Sp00ns, I just wasn't in the mood, but I let him hear M.T. Bag. (Fauste, he said you got lyrics "Cloud 9") I explained our mission and whatnot and he let me in on B.L.A.K. Heart Fam . Brothers Living As Kings, I believe was the acronym. He spit over a few of my beats and it made me think, why does EVERYONE want to make music?

Some choose to pursue music careers because of what they see on the videos. The money, the alcohol, the women, the cars, et cetera. In the words of The Alchemist "Don't do the music for the money." Others make music because without it, they have nothing. It's the same way with other hobbies and passions. Personally, I know I'd rather be poor and filthy with my music, as opposed to rich and bored living the American Dream.

My talents exceed music. I can draw/paint, I can write, but in all the years of my selfishness, I've found, music is the most selfless thing I've ever been a part of. It's cool to make beats for other artists, it's cool to promote other upcoming acts, and the illest feeling in the world is making music out of the ideas my folks suggest.

Why do I make music? Well, for numerous reasons. When I started with Burnz and Stuntman, it was a neat hobby, we just liked the sound of our voices. As time went on, the music started to sound better, and having your friends hype your head about how ill it is, makes it all the better. Now, why do I do it? I still have one of the illest ears for it, and this whole effort has been going too strong for us to not capitalize. I'm tired of not seeing shit through to the end, it's time I stick it out, no matter what. Rain or shine, hail, sleet, snow, come hell or high water, it's on!

I'd like to talk about some older posts I put up. Bag is focused on ourselves mostly, not meaning other artists can't get a helping hand. Sp00ks & Sp00ns is feature heavy, as far as our other projects are concerned. Since we're a super group, we really have no time to be concerned with other acts that either do it for laughs and giggles, or cats who can't do it.

"So, if you're talking about not doing it for the money, what do you do it for?" The original plan, it WAS for the money, who doesn't want money? Stuntman and I used to talk about being famous. I guess it runs in my family, I don't really want the fame, I'm really in it for the recognition, cash payments are accepted, though. I'd like to be part of human history, not like, "Rappers, Empathy, Ace Boogie, Skeem Da General, and Shaun Fauste, in trouble again after a backstage brawl," but, "When you think of Hip-Hop, who do you think of? 'M.T. Bag!'"

I come from a long line of muscians, my grandma wrote songs, and sent them to record companies, but never succeeded due to money issues. My cousin, in the 1970's had a singing group and they were hot shit here in Cincinnati, with a few LP's. My uncles make hotter beats than I. If I'm not destined to do this, then, damnit, I'll just keep chasing it until I achieve it or DIE!

Fuck ringtones, fuck $300 bottles, fuck record labels, and if you're not with us, fuck you too! I got no time for the negative ju-ju, "you're bringing me down, man."

"Ayo, I'm Tired Of Using Technology"

I'm trying to broaden the audience a tad, because apparently, my writings are most thizzle. I further helped a lady friend reach her decision to become a music video diva/singer/actress. Whatever you may want to become, keep bangin'. In the words of our friend, Ladele, "Chase Your MUTHAFUCKIN DREAMS!"

So, what do I have for you today?

 

Life-like robots. These have been developing in Japan since 2005. They have two versions, the regular one and the emotibot. The regular one, you program it to do what you want, like The Jetsons. The emotibot(excuse me, that's my terminology), is set to interact with human beings and to express emotions.....I would imagine they'd sell these to lazy, rich Americans or old people in need of company. It smells like iRobot in this muthafucka! The FUTURE is upon us, I can't wait to tell my grandchildren...

 

This is the OnLive home gaming streamer. This bit of technology is set to make every video game console obscelete. You plug the 'thing' up to your television set, it's like a broadband connection or some shit and you can instantly play Xbox, Playstation, et cetera right on your tv. No downloads. It's like a flash game, dig it? Since technology is always growing, this system will continually upgrade and offer more games, thus making it uneccessary to purchase more consoles. Ass.Holes.!!!!

One of my favorite video games from the past is finally releasing part 3. Max Payne 3 is due this Winter, in case you're unaware what this year is, it is 2009. I'm unsure of what's going to happen this trip. I know in number one, Mona got shot in the head and supposedly died, and in number two, she was alive, but actually died this time.(But if you finish the game on the highest difficulty, Mona survives, doesn't that throw off the whole story with that aspect in play?) I don't know diddly-squat about the story except, Payne is older, he quit the NYPD and he left New York City. What's in store?

Shades of Fauste: Love pt.1

let me ask you, how deep do your feelings go? most people look and search their entire lifetime for the one who will treat them right and take care of their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs...I wondered when my time for searching and looking would be over for I grow tired of running within the same circle of "Love" as if my love life was being played over and over. They may have more game than I but they only have game, not a soul for if they did you would not be searching as hard as I know you have...the one you left you cold for hours on a date, to the one who is my brother's friend...I cannot help but to wonder if you are putting yourself through this same cycle of abuse. You know what you are doing, you see a blur of someone waiting at the other end but you keep running...STOP and look into my eyes for the measure of a man is not what he DOES for you but what is WILLING to do knowing all consequences. They may hold you down but let me bring you up...they may take care of you, but let me give you your independence but at the same time you know that I have unlimited love for you....stop holding all of your love in search of flings and "boys" you aren't sure of...I am a "man" and will always be, even in my worst for hurting you is hurting me for don't I give you my heart in this relationship?....I will never understand completely if you walk away from me for you cannot deny that you know my Heart is ever-so sincere.

 OJ Da Juiceman

I done did a lil research on the newest 'Trap Star', if you will. I czeched out his Wikipedia page and they say he got his name from his dad. His name is Otis Jr, get it, OJ? Well, that may be the case, but due to my infinite knowledge on television, I'd like to argue otherwise. I believe the whole concept of OJ Da Juiceman derives from an episode of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.

I forget the premise of the episode, but there's a scene where Will snatches a glass of orange juice from Carlton, and Carlton goes, "Aye!"

Well, that's really all I had to say....

Israel Is Real

Hmm...I'm watching this fat guy on Comedy Central, he's kinda cheeqz. He keeps on ripping on different countries and playing into their stereotypes, it's not, it's sad actually. How do you make an entire comedy routine out of using the same characters in different countries? That's not comedy, that's an elementary school cap session or some weak shit...

So, in the defence of these countries(notice my English spelling?), I'm going to adress these countries/continents.
FRANCE- Ok, what do we have here? Well, for starters, apparently, EVERYBODY in France loves the comedy of Jerry Lewis. I'm not hating that, but I doubt it's true. Like in America, we ALL don't love Chevys or Fords. Another one, they say ALL French people stank. I've never met a French person, but like any other human won't you smell after a while? This probably comes from the history of France. The French would wear their clothes from Fall til Spring, the women would get visited by "Aunt Flo" and keep wearing their clothes. I don't know how credible this is, but people say what they say for a reason.

JAMAICA- Word is, they all smoke "Gunja", and they're VERY homophobic. I can't speak for every citizen of Jamaica, so I'll butt out of this one. According to In Living Color, all they do is work. What's wrong with getting high and ruling the world?

JAPAN- In America, what is our main assumption about Japan? They're ALL SMART! Well, I have never met a stupid Oriental person, so this one is still up in the air. I think this one died out in the '90s. but they're Karate savvy....Another one that kills me because it seems to be common knowledge, the size of their endowments. I don't give a damn, but Damon Wayans told a joke about how he saw an Asian guy buying a pack of Magnums, so.....There you have it.....And the famous, they all look the same...

MEXICO- People go to town on these folks. They say they're ALL immigrants, if not that, then they'll do jobs for pennies on the dollar....It's been said, carpooling is like Bozo's clown car, gimme a break! I got no other stereotypes for Mexico. Ooh, and cerveza.

IRELAND- Well, the ONLY one I know is, they drink a lot. Well, my 4th grade teacher was part Irish, and I've never known her to smell of alchy.

RUSSIA- The only ones I got, their tempers are(explosive, get it?), and they drink Vodka a lot. Sting wonders if they love their children too....

GERMANY- I've experienced the company of a few German folks, when they speak their language, it's delivery is very brash, this may not apply to all. Some stereotypes I have found that amuse me: Blonde hair, blue eyes, intelligent, hardworking, BEER, sausage, sauerkraut, and they say they have no sense of humor. I met a cat at Wright State straight from Deutschland, and he cracked a few laughs, so, HA!

I think I'm done, for, I don't know where I was going with this, I just like doing the color thing.

Gud Muzik

"When you're blue, and got nothing to do, get into the party life! If you're feeling low, ain't go nowhere to go, get into the party life!"

That was a tad irrelevant, but anyway. Here are some jams straight from the repertoire of I that'll ease your mind when you listen. Take notes!

Hall & Oates--"Out Of Touch". Some may be familiar with the song itself, others with the melody. "Where do I know that sound from?" Cool & Dre reworked the melody with synthesizers and gave the beat to Young Jeezy for his Inspiration song, "Streets On Lock". "I got the streets on lock, Atlanta on my back." Dig it?

Curtis Mayfield--"Move On Up". This is one everybody should recognize, produced by Just Blaze for Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco's "Touch The Sky". Good show!

Rick James--"Super Freak". EVERYBODY knows this song. If I didn't pick this song, then it would definitely be "Mary Jane". You may recognize this as the atmosphere to MC Hammer's, "Can't Touch This", AND Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come". A lot of people claim they don't hear "Super Freak" in Jay's song, I don't understand how, but I guess some people just don't have the ear.

Gotta Get Yourself Some Scooby Doos

(Scooby Doos are shoes by the way) I've been peeping other blogspots and the like, and I've noticed they all have one thing in common.....They all post pictures of the ugliest sneakers. I think since half the blogs I look at are run by 'celebrities', people just eat it up. Well, let's look at some ugly shoes together, huh?

 

Some kinda Nike....These remind me of children's shoes that light up when they walk, but for adults.

 

I have never been a fan of Supra's shoes until recently. My dude, Joe, rocked a pair I could see myself wearing once, other than that, their older models were kinda ugly.

 

I need new Nikes and Pumas.....but not these.

Valedictorians & Pink Deloreans

 

 Today, I present thee, what I would label as a classic. The other M.T. Baggers agree this is a good album, but Grimm told me he didn't make it past the first two joints on this one.....I feel this is the most underrated album of our time, yes, Asher Roth, Drake and Kid Cudi are making BIG moves, but don't sleep on Sonic the Hamilton.

1. Music(Intro)--Sampling Graham Central Station's "Today", Hamilton pours his heart out onto one of the best intros I've heard in quite some time. "Music is the only love." The vibe is definitely reminiscent of Kanye West and the way he arranges his music. The lyrics are based upon his own introspect. This is a pretty inspirational song, czech it!

2.  Loser--I'm not too sure on the sample, but I did make a beat out of the sample he used on this song. This is the second single for his 2009 album, I don't know if he changed the song any, so.......This song flexes Hamilton's ability to be lyrical and keep it real at the same time. The mood of this song dreary, but it's funny because he feels himself, and that's what's up.

3. She's So High--Sampling "Breathe" by Telepopmusik. This song is nice. Delivered in a rhythmic, monotone manner, this song shows listeners that Sonic the Hamilton is good for more than just talking about how good he is; he can make real songs too.

4. Voices--"It's A Shame" by The Spinners. This production sounds like a beat Kanye would give to Common. Venting about how hard life is along with the idea of being on the brink of insanity. On this song, Hamilton touches on who he compares himself to, and talks about how being different really makes you the same as other....

5. Boy Who Cried Wolf--I'm not for certain on the sample, it sounds like Aretha Franklin to me. As the sample loops the words, "You don't wanna believe me," Hamilton talks about rappers who doubted his skills, cats who beat him up, and his romantic life. "Cuz y'all don't wanna believe me, huh?"

6. Let Me Live ft. Bagdad--Not sure on the sample, maybe Magnetic Fields--I Don't Wanna Get Over You", don't hold me to that. His boy drops a decent verse, and the chorus is really nice. Dope track.

7. Brighter Days--"Friends"--Whodini, I believe. Flipped better than MF DOOM's "Deep Fried Frenz" in my opinion. He flexes his vocals a little bit on this one, and a little piano. I dig it!

8. The Cookout-- I don't know the sample, but he opens it up on some funky stuff, real George Clinton Style. Not my favorite joint, but it's still dope.

9. Sat(t)lite-- A really Eminem track, he's singing, not my favorite joint, still worth a listen though.

10. Live Life To The Fullest-- Sample, ????. Reminds me of a track from the Sonic the Hamilton mixtape, reminds me of Lupe's "Gold Watch". The sample is very DOPE!

11.Come Back To You-- "I'll Always Come Back To You"--The Isley Brothers, maybe? A heartfelt song, dig it?

12. Latte-- Real shit, sample,???

13. Shinin'--The Falcons "Why Can't You See", Hamilton presents himself as a one man band, composing of multiple hims. Apparently, this is one of his best songs. Legend has it, he was going to commit suicide shortly after recording this song.

14. I'll Be Around--"Whenever You Call Me"--The Spinners. This is a really emotional track, he addresses his friends and family in this song. I love the beat and the chorus.

15. Writing In The Sky--"Betcha By Golly Wow"--The Stylistics. The most beautiful song on this album. The sample is tight, more introspect, a genius way to end an album with a bonus track.

P.S.~Sp00ks And Sp00ns is COMING SOON. We're gonna rerecord M.I.C for quality pleasures, and filming, er, recording will start soon for Cin City.

Credit Where Credit Is Due

Before we get into this topic, I'd like to ask if anyone has noticed the rise in tobacco product costs. Just two days ago, I could get a single Black&Mild for 95¢, now them shits cost $1.27. I brought a buck to BP like, 'where my cigars be at?' I saw the price and freaked out. But it's good to be me, because you can get employees to split the difference with you, thank goodness for generous people, I love y'all n!99@$.

Anyway, what I wanna discuss is the mindstate of mainstream Hip-Hop fans. You know when you hear the new Plies record or whoever, you hear the beat first. If you don't like the beat, odds are, you won't like the song....Anyway, I hate how people think rappers make their own beats, hell, a lot of singers don't even write the songs they sing nowadays!

Back in the 70s and 80s, it was custom for an artist to be part of their own music, now it's like, all an all star does is put their name on it. I heard rumors that half of Eminem's songs were recorded by a voice-alike, I don't believe it, but it makes you think.....Why are we in this music thing if we don't wanna do it? Like Brittany Spears, all she does is lips sync her performances, people came to see/hear you perform live, if you're not singing, what the fuck are you doing?

I respect the people who read the booklets and find out who's producing the sound, or just have an ear for who makes what, I love it! The #1 misconception in Hip-Hop ,from my stand point, is Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life", yeah, he rapped on it, but he didn't make the beat. People take the shit at face value and move on. I feel producers get shat on, sure, they get royalties, and yeah, some don't care to be heard about, but give n!99@$ their credit. A classic that's been on repeat all this week now, Reasonable Doubt, nobody quite cares for the producers who made the album what it is, and it saddens me.

There are very few emcees on the radio who make their own beats, actually, there's only one, and that's K.West.

I'm not knocking these rappers, it's just, you wouldn't be where you are, if it weren't for the Just Blazes or Timbalands who slave over hot keyboards......If you think about it, it doesn't really matter, but it's the principality. Playing with my music, is like playing with my emotions!

I got some dece' Spooks verses I'm ready to put on them tracks, and my M.T. Bag sense is telling me Fauste is uber ready. I like that shit!

There's still no script for the movie-album, but the story is basically laid out. The band will discuss the project and make it happen. The actors read the script, then the producer reads the script, then it all comes together.

I'm bout to go to the store for a mild and come back to get tipsy. Stomach's rumbling, just like Wright. If I do it right, I'll stay leant til about 7 or 8 o' clock in the moanin'.....

So, I just read Grimm's post on collabos and it inspired me to talk about who I'd wanna make music with, if I could:

Chris Martin, or maybe Coldplay in general. They sound good with The R-O-C, and even better when I sample them.

I'd love for Pharrell to sing me a chorus, and Will.I.Am ain't half bad either.

I'd like a beat by Primo!

Any original Wu-Tang members.

Chrisette Michelle, yeah...

Nasty Nas.

A beat/verse from the Louis Vuitton Don.

I wanna spit some knowledge over a Lil Jon beat, I think that'll be "THUNK".

Lupe Fiasco, Common and Twista....do I smell Midwest "Swagger Like Us"?

I would like a track from The Runners, they're my favorite!

I'd save the Jay-Z and Eminems for later down the road, cuz a n!99@would embarass himself.

Dream Collabos

Peter Bjorn and John- listen to "Young Folks " and "Call it off" ( for all you Drake fans....track 3 off of So Far Gone, yes he samples too)

John Mayer- the whole "Continuum" album is 'nuff said for me

Wale- Guys versatile and pulled off a collab with John Mayer

40- Drake's producer..."Lust for Life"..."Houstonatlantavegas"

Boi-1-da : "Best I ever had" and "Ransom"...also a producer for Drake

Pharell and Will.i.am- co-producing on a track...think "Young Girl" meets "One More Chance"

Jim Jonsin- guy is an official hit-maker"

Interpolated "Night Fever" or just sampled decently...MZA I hope you read that...MOACD

mmmm for now that's it but generally with this you can think of how crazy my style is and why almost two years later I'm still perfecting this said style...I refuse to be second to no one...but I learned that to reach a common goal, one must sacrifice and give his all with his comrades so to that extent...lets get it.

"You Think You Know Me"...well, you should.

Hello world, it is I F to the A-U-S-T-E amd I am fresh off of failing Math and English (yay!) but its cool, bucklin' down is all it takes. But I want to adress something that has been running through my mind for the past day and heightened by Boogie's and Ashlee B.'s heated argument over their respective cliques, Ashlee's "Blue Team" and Mine and Boogie's and the whole Third World nation's......are you ready?....the omnisciencent "Green Team" (it even looks better) but still I wondered...they are both teams who have loosely connected goals, why can't they get along and collectively run the Wright State populus, hmm??!

I will tell you why...just like suburban kids and inner city rapscalians...they see so much of a difference in each other that they cannot stop and realize that they are both kids/teens and that somewhere down that line they have common intrests. It is why I proudly represent my suburban peeps but at the same time can relate slightly to my inner city peeps because in the end, we all want a good life...it is the DEGREE to which we must work to get said life that seperates us but if we put stereotypes and egos aside, we can help each other get that goal...I personally admit I'm not street smart but because I share a common goal with Boogie and Skeem-o they teach the kid the curves and what to do and what not do...it sounds corny but I picked up alot from them.

So in point, Blue and Green Team (see how you each are a "Team"), dont fight, collab and attempt run the school and party like Rockstars at the same time...'cuz it helps spread our M.T. Bag Thizzle-ness across the different "seas of people" that is Wright State University...Go RAIDERS! (o and boogie...fyi, i need that estimate on the apartments)
