ive been asked to give my statement on micheal jackson’s death by a few people and while i dont feel like rehashing what i said here im pretty upset by it. maybe ill go into it here in my safe space. maybe i wont. i probably wont to be honest when people like phonte and dwele have done it so much better.
dwele’s tribute
i will say that i have avoided any major news outlet coverage of his death and the events surrounding it partly because i have been traveling since the moment he was pronounced deceased. ill be reluctantly tuning in now so who knows i may be upset enough to say a word or two about how they treat him in passing.
this is making me sad.
so i was lucky enough to produce some music for the daily show on comedy central. the day it aired i was caught up and couldnt watch it, and havent been able to say much about it until now because ive been running around with dj low key. they recorded this in dons bedroom and [...]
so in hoping to keep track of my recent collaborations i have started a playlist on my ‘work’ ipod. this also helps me to memorize the verses and keep track of what is where and etc. im going to share the list with you and give a few deets such as who the song belongs to and who produced it. some of these songs you may have heard, some of them you will hear, some of them you will never hear. in most cases i dont even have the whole songs just my reference file. at any rate i’m just in the mood to share info. im on every one of these songs so im not listing myself.
the list does not include don cusack, reiteration, sketchpad or any of my other secret side projects (there are at least 2 that i havent announced that are in various phases of finish) but be warned the list is pretty damn long….
