As silly as Murs looks with no hair he's still got it and I was so happy to hear him working with Fashawn. I was all about Fash when he came out as an unheard of 19 year old back in 09 and by now he has worked with literally like 80% of all of my favorite emcees.

so bangin'. the rock mix is kinda weird but i like it

That whole Murs/Fashawn album is so good. It's easily in my top 10 of all time. I used to listen to it every single day on the train home from work for like a year straight.

Yeah I feel like I write better when I'm high, but I don't know if it's just me being weird or what but my voice always gets bad when I'm high. I have a pretty deep voice but when I'm high it gets really weak. I was high when I recorded that track from earlier. I don't have anyone to buy weed from anymore but if I did and I could afford it I would definitely pick some up just to help me write.

I feel really weird when I write in public though. I'd love to go to the coffee shop and just listen to some beats in the study room and write some lyrics but, if you're in public writing lyrics people look at them and can tell they're lyrics, and then they read them over your shoulder and that makes me really uncomfortable and I second guess everything I write

maybe its anxiety? recording is anxiety inducing and weed can increase that anxiety. it usually takes a conscious effort for me to relax and just kinda vibe with the music instead of thinking about how i sound

tradjik

usually i will hav to walk away from the mic for 10-20 mins coz i cant get it right then i come back and bam perfect... well not perfect but good enough to start mixing haha

deep dish peat moss

Yeah that too. That's why I'm not even trying to book anything. I don't feel solid enough to remember everything and do everything right. When I do record it usually takes me several takes (I don't record on separate channels or anything because I don't have the equipment, I don't even have a cheap mic, I record on my phone). I did an Open Mic a while back and it was ok but I only did one track and I was practicing it all day.

deep dish peat moss

And it probably is anxiety. I don't know. I feel like smoking weed saps the aggression out of me, and I need that aggression when I hit the mic. I just feel too laid back and chill and that doesn't really jive with the style of what I write.

deep dish peat moss

An d it took me a really, really long time to stop writing things that just sounded like I was biting on my favorite emcees. I feel like I've finally kind of developed a flow that has its own sound. When I use Atmosphere beats I'm generally writing something really similar to the original, like even biting a few lines (intentionally) and making it in to my own take on the same song, but even then I can switch it up and a few bars can actually sound like me. I think it's a good combo.

yeah that too. weed is good for a laid back flow. I tried to rerecord my first track recently but my flow is too chill for the material

Check out the Deep Puddle Dynamics track from Page 1 if you didn't, it has a lot of cool stuff like that. I can't even compare that album to other hip hop albums. I don't want to say it's "better" but it's an entirely different echelon of hip hop

Check this album out if you like really esoteric rap and unique flows

Eyedea & Carnage did a lot of that too in Star Destroyer. It has some of my favorite lines in rap ever. "I'm really iller than anybody buddy / I'll bloody your body / your cruddy thoughts are probably soft as silly putty"; "Unkillable horde of syllable lords / born breach bearing balls bigger than body for bodying of bitch boys / best ever earth and birth bound to umbilical cords" etc.

Yo,
Cease with the star-gazin'
It's the two baddest who bring meteoric numbers of crews ravaged
Talent, we do have it
But y'all gaseous, whitish blue masses?
NO
Only pew bastards whose asses exude gasses
Unstellar; your true status

Every single line in that song blows my mind every time I hear it. Even the first line is raw as gently caress.

Just mail me your titles now, and save the public embarrassment
You never even battle, how the gently caress are you arrogant?

I listened to it again in a better state of mind and it's just the beats I hate. They're terrible

Here's me poorly biting on an atmosphere track in preparation of going to the show tonight

I'm still real bad though. Even though I said I hate the Kanye album, it is better than anything I could do
