This was my first finished
cd. It was produced mostly on my Tascam 4 track and transferred
to the computer so there are horrible tape hiss issues.
There will be no lyrics breakdown because some/most of
the vocals are freestyled and I'm not going to transcribe
freestyles, it goes against the nature of freestyling.
I have come to terms with recording freestyles (I won't
do it but I don't have too big a problem if someone else
does).
01 intro - an intro, pretty self explanatory. Uncleared
sample laiden (ucleared-sample-bin-laden?) I was trying
to address the whole "return" concept. I got this whole
return thing in my head, I don't know why.
02 Ascetic
swiftly - This is a 4 track beat, anderegg played the
bass, and the rest is casio tone and samples. Mine and
Danny's verses are written, we actually wrote those rhymes
and spit them originally over a Killer Priest instrumental
back when we were all into rhyming over Wu-tang related
instrumentals.
03 Oh God Almighty - probably the 2nd or
3rd beat I ever made, ever, and most likely by accident.
Chock full of freestyles and such, samples and a drum
loop, that's all for the beat. Understandable is on this,
this was right before he went back to Miami, kind of like
his goodbye track. Natalie is on this too, and she is
real fucking fresh.
04 Milky Hot - Keyboard happy is how I would describe
this. I just got my first keyboard module (the small
yet robust Korg NS5R, an amazing first keyboard
module) and I swear I made sure I used every damn
function. Even the fucking bird noise. There is
actual accordion, though, played by Anderegg.
05 Love one - the first of
many love songs I've made. This was a freestyle, after
school (college) on a Friday, getting drunk kind of joint.
My freestyle is abysmal, as always, and describes this
dream I had about the literal "girl of my dreams". Ill
ben is as poignant as ever with his lyrical gem, "physical
violence, that's why I love you". And LMNOP (which, by
the way, was the former hip hop pseudonym for Christopher
Paul, before we found out that there are tons of MC's
named "LMNO" or "LMNOP") his whole verse is classic from
the singing to the "fuck your grandma but we love her
anyway". Bloody brilliant.
06 Scary Beach Oldie - I think
the title says it all. It's a surf-oldie song set on a
scary beach, at least that's how it started, who the fuck
knows now. This song will get rhymed on one day, mark
my words.
07 Spy Hunter Safari - this is the sister to
Scary Beach Oldie, and not just because it has 3 words
in the title. I don't know why they are related, it is
what it is.
08 Love pt 2 - the 2nd love song I ever made.
This guy I was working with at the time, Gabe, played
the drums on this tiny, pinche, little piece of shit drum
set. The beat is all over the place and I donít even know
if it gets to its destination.
09 Valentines day 1999
# 1 - On Valentines day 1999 I woke up hungover, but with
a vision. That vision was to squeeze out as many god damn
valentines day songs as I fucking could, and title them
all "Valentines day 1999" etc, etc. This was the first
one, it was an idea I had after watching "the Wedding
Singer". That's all I can say about that.
10 Valentines
day 1999 # 2 - On Valentines day 1999 I woke up bla bla.
Epyk did the baseline for this. The "Wedding singer" theme
is further explored in this one as well.
11 Valentines
day 1999 # 3 - On Valentines day 1999 I woke up, or did
I? This one ended up going on Fixxx's 2003 cd "broken"
after he rhymed on it. Also, it was on Mose III's Cd "social
responsibility". If you would like to rhyme on this beat,
send a self addressed stamped envelope to:
12 Rugratz
- this was actually the first complete beat I ever made
on the computer, more specifically, Pro Tools, and was
the final to a sound class at school (college). Everyone
hated it, it was awesome. I have odd visions of dying
while listening to this song. I imagine I'll be in some
space craft and the breaks will go out and I'll die while
this song is on. Weird huh? I try to avoid listening to
this song while flying in space crafts (and that's more
difficult then it sounds).
13 Wookie Catscan - another keyboard happy beat.
Feeling out the functions. I don't have a problem
with this beat I just don't have anything in particular
to say about it.
14 the Manchurian Candidate
- Did you see that movie? It was good, check it out. There's
this fucking fresh scene where Frank Sinatra is fighting
someone and is whooping ass and the guy is on the ground,
right, and Sinatra grabs this guys arm and yanking on
it while kicking the guy in the ribs, it's an amazing
sight and that scene alone makes the movie good.
15 the
dark side - this piece of shit beat. I had it all made
up all nicely and then something happened and the beat
and the computer fought and I'm not sure who won but it
wasn't me and it wasn't the beat. This beat started good
and went Kaka, that's all I'm going to say about it, I
don't have any hard feelings, but I have a hard on, hay-o(?).
