You've Officially Been Chopped & Formed

Ha, the title is an inside joke we share amongst the band...if you read the chicken fried beef package, the box describes the meat is (chopped and formed). So since my reading of that box, we've been singing, "You've officially been chopped and formed, and and formed. You've officially been chopped,chopped and, and formed. Formed,formed." Good times!

Ok, so some are wondering, how was that fabled concert of yours?

Well, we ran into a thousand and one obstacles. The ride I had lined up for us canceled on us, that was cool. So, we bought a bottle of Parrot Bay and got happy. Ok, we still didn't have a ride. We played a little NBA Street Vol.3, ate, discussed Heauxs,  and still didn't have the music we needed to perform. So we got busy on that, due to the crashing of my music computer we couldn't just pull off the ready to go instrumentals. I had to doctor a beat and we got ready to go. We wanted to take the bus downtown, it was the last bus, we missed it. So the desperation began, we called up every P.A.N.C.A.K.E possible. We got the ride, but it took an hour and a half for them to arrive.

We departed from Ace's and talked our shit the entire ride, it was funny to me. We discussed, chicken, chopped and formed beef, Super Nintendo, alligator men and Final Fantasy 7 of all things, odd....

M.T. Bag got out of the car and hit the ATM, Ace stopped for Blacks while Fauste and I went to sign up for Open Mic. I had never seen Baba Budan's so full. I asked DJ Skandal about signing up, the list contained over 46 people, so The Most Thizzle Boys And Girls would not shine that night. The night was full of Cincinnati celebs, M.O., Moxy Monster, DJ Skandal and a whole bunch of 513 rappers.

We caught wind of what's hot in the 'Nati shortly after some sips from some New Amsterdam Gin. Some shit that amazed me ,"Suck My Swag". I got nothing but respect for others that music, but along side of Fauste, I was royally pissed.

We stepped outside, and Fauste couldn't wrap his mind around these other rappers. By this point we all established this night wasn't meant to happen. M.O.'s girl came and we organized a ride back to Ace's. We got home, I cranked out a nice soulful beat and it was sleep.

What did I learn? Well, we need to find our audience and blaze sessions are hilarious amongst grown men who aren't too good at it. Also, we are ahead of our time, and we just gotta wait for that time. "Success is when Preparation meets Opportunity.'' People ahead of their time get their just due, so Fauste, don't be in a rush to get grown, drive slow, homie.

And if you're reading this, you know who you are, you're never getting coffee out of me.
