It Is What It Is...

On and off cloudy day...fits my description of health.
Little bit of everything hurts. Arms, right shoulder, thigh muscles, my finger joints, both knees, mild headache. Feel like an old car battery...not quite dead, still have a spark but could use some serious recharging instead of a jump-start from time to time.

After the week of some of the worst arm pain I've had in a awhile...whatever I'm going thru now doesn't bother me as much except that it's interfering with the recording of my vocal project. Or-though I've made some of my more "sensitive" beats between last night and night before.

A few weeks ago...alittle bit before I got my internet back, I posted my "SoultapeLvL4" beat-tape and sent it to 8 blogs and websites that normally post my music. None have posted the new beat-tape. That kind of thru me for a downer. I know I've been gone for awhile but.....
ahh.....who cares.

Kind of made me feel like maybe I fell off production wise. I will admit, I've haven't been releasing what I consider my better results of production. I've been either putting them to the side for my project or giving them to my artists(P.A., Justin Allen, Al.N York, etc), but doesn't mean the beats on that last beat-tape aren't considered by me as good work. Most of them are just old, I like to keep fresh material on deck for projects in progress. Once a beat is two months old without being put to use, it falls into a certain folder of mine and I come back to them later.

Yesterday was the 14 year anniversary of the death of 2Pac Shakur. So naturally I was blasting my favorite 'Pac music in the headphones or in my mother's Scion xB....that has six 10 inch sub-woofers. I uploaded a few new tracks into the music player on to the right of the blog...including the 2Pac sampled beat "Me Vs. The World"...that's also on the "SoultapeLvL4" beat-tape.

Going to try and lay down. Maybe I'll wake up feeling better enough to continue recording.
Peace

2Pac's "Shakurspeare" Album??

As jacked from thetruthishere.com...

The first recordings from rap legend Tupac Shakur will be released this fall, commemorating the 13th anniversary of his death.

Born Busy Records’ CEO, Darrin Keith Bastfield, was one of the first people to work with Tupac and will be spearheading the release. The CD, titled Shakurspeare, will drop on September 13th, featuring material recorded before his days with Digital Underground. Bastfield started the group Born Busy when Shakur was just 16-years-old. Songs on the record will be from Tupac’s earliest days in the rap game when he was known by his first rap name, MC New York.

Bastfield discussed the project saying, quote, “I want people to hear Tupac as a young artist in his very first recordings ever, having fun, rapping about issues that concerned us, and most importantly giving a cautionary and timely ‘Message of Peace’ in his own voice as if he was already a big rap star with a reputation to uphold.”

Bastfield says the title Shakuspeare is inspired by a conversation he had with Tupac in which the rapper said he had dreams of becoming a renowned Shakespearean actor.

Shakuspeare is not Bastfield’s first Tupac-inspired work. He released the book “Back in the Day: My Life and Times with Tupac Shakur” in 2002.


....its gonna be like some old-skool 'Pac....I'mma check it just based on the content that I'm expecting. Like more of the "rebel-revolutionary-poetry" side of 2Pac.
