BRING BACK THE DYNAMICS AND SOUL TO MUSIC

     From my knowledge it seems like most music now and days is over saturated with mixes that are sometimes(or alot) TOO loud and in your face, which is fine depending on the genre and the mood of the song but every song no matter soft, fast, slow, and dark doesn't haft to be over compressed and produced. What happend to letting the song breathe and allow the listener to appreciate the difference in amplitude between instruments (or tracks for my electronic musicians) I'm done with trying to "fit in" with the industry. Now and days with AUTO-TUNE all over the radio and PITCH CORRECTION who needs talent?  Depending on digital tools to correct mistakes to me is making the industry and artists today lazy...  


       What ever happend to soulful Vocalists using their RAW TALENT not every artist sang like the Jackson 5 or The Diamonds, but they sang with emotion and I believe that's the difference.very few bring it like they did in the Mo-town, James brown, Jimmy Hendrix classic rock erra to name a few...I 'm not saying there hasn't been good music made since then, I'm just saying the wrong artists seem to get the most recognition and RADIO PLAY these days...example why the hell is there a BIRTHDAY SEX SONG playing on the radio?? if thats the case put on my man DEVIN THE DUDE his lyrics aren't for everyone but  at least he sings with soul!!! How bout hearing some more of THE ROOTS, BLACK THOUGHT HAS MORE CONSTRUCTIVE MESSAGES TO BRING TO OUR YOUTH then SOLDIER BOY.....

On the rock side of things what's going on with NEW ROCK? New Rock stations are still playing bands from the 80's and 90's like OZZY/BLACK SABBATH, PEARL JAM, ALICE AND CHAINS, NIRVANA.....great bands but sad.... its retarded to me how it seems creatively as a whole we're at a stand still atleast "commercially". Is it that everything has already been done?...or is it that the air waves and music video shows portray to the listener what they think, we should think IS "HOT", and they pass it on to younger generations as good music. 


I'm making it my mission to preserve the organics of music to the best of my knowledge by not over compressing mixes every song or over using the T-PAIN effects especially on a whole album (KANYE)  no matter what the genre is, my goal is to create timeless music.. Stride to be original because in the end your ears like your eyes are gate way to your soul. That being said keep an ear along with your mind opened to knew ideas. TURN OFF YOUR RADIO try buying an album of a group you haven't heard before, who knows you could find your new favorite artist underground...Don't live in a commercial juke box just because they repeatedly play an artist or band/group on the radio, because NINE TIMES OUTTA TEN THAT UNDERGROUND BAND/GROUP PUTS ON A BETTER SHOW!!

FRUSTRATIONS of A CIVILIAN (short poem)

Trying to relate, to a planet other than earth to escape the tyranny  
 for every cent that its worth...
the youth aint hearing me 
blinded by  the ignorance on their ipods and tv's
 most americans believe what there told 
so I believe you should know a chunk of america's foreign owned,
 ran by world banks  for a ONE DAY  new world order,
 one government under god poisining our son's and daughters..
.who wanna strip us of our liberties for a world wide slaughter

Till then I ain't got a dollar to lend, 
consider every cent in the jar another blessing. 
so far
I aint gotta lie,I don't gotta cheat, 
but that don't mean i gotta fight to the government's beat, 
yes I'm much more willing..... 
to end the blood spilling f
ind another way to feed my family and keep building
tired of the misuse of powers 
a good example of that, THE TWIN TOWERS....
an excuse for stripping us of more liberties like some cowards?
 who fund both sides of a war as a bussiness 
any presidents dead or alive could be a witness ...... 
so for that there's NO FORGIVENESS

Staying Positive

I haven't had the best hand delt to me the past few years with future plans being intercepted by my own decisions ... having an unplanned child( that I adore) and a marriage at that is just 1 of the many blessings and curve balls thrown my way as far as life changing decisions are concerned, still no complaints here just delays...but nothing career threatening.  

           I've found that if you can pick a positive out of  almost every negative situation and use it to your advantage, it can help take the edge off a little bit...
