Dear God (or any higher power up there) my cousin never did SHIT wrong to no one, so I'd really appreciate it if he didn't have to suffer every fuckin day in the hospital hooked up to machines. Why do you always do bad things to good people? Sorry for questioning but I don't really appreciate this shit, and see no reason behind this. Can he please live for one fuckin day outside of a hospital, will you let him walk? somewhere, anywhere, let him get on stage with me. How could you put someone with a bone disease, goin to fuckin college on a hospital bed for the rest of his life with ONE SEMESTER left?????? How does that make any sense???? How can that not make someone question their faith.

Tillmon - I'm sorry I havent been down there lately, I have no valid excuse for that. I'm coming down there to see you with your mom next week. Your team (the Cowboys) fuckin sucks still, and we can argue about that again. I LOVE YOU and I thank you for always believing in me when every one told you I was the corny white boy that couldn't rap, and I will rap til I'm gone, and I will represent for you and tell your story. I'm going to post a song for you today, it's called I Know, and although I can't call you to tell you I hope that somehow you can feel it, and understand that you are a hero, and I know that you hate when I call you that but you ARE, and you always will be...

The Motivation For Me....

2009-09-17T11:06:00.002-05:00

is them tellin me, what I could not be, OH WELL! Thank you for those words Pharrell, I listen to them every day! So Ambitious is my FAVORITE song on BP3, it's so easy to relate to.

I definitely need to make some better music, and I know I can but I don't really have the resources. My budget don't exist, I'm still paying on my last recording session, and people won't work on my shit like they're supposed to. I can't buy beats and no one is sending me none right now, so I been making them. I got some heat, but I don't have the "it" factor to produce beats as dope as the ones I get from better producers.

All I've wanted to do since I was a kid is rap! I stayed in my house missing plenty of parties and social gatherings so I could work on tracks, which is what I've always preferred to do anyways. I LOVE music! All I want to do is get to the position where I can provide for my kids and my family by waking up every day doing music.

"I pop my demo tape in, start to beat my head..."
You know another thing, when I watch footage of rappers in the studio, and they always play their shit for their homies or whatever, and every one is SO hype. They're all like "Fuck YEAH", and all that shit, or whatever they say about the track. But when I play my shit in the studio or somethin, I always feel like no one is payin attention to what I'm saying. And no one ever says shit, like "Dope" or even "Not Dope", it's like damn.... either you just aint into my shit or I aint spitting, but honestly I think I'm ILL on the mic, maybe I'm just to honest and I should rap about more dumb shit and people will be like "uggggghhhhh he said his range rover is the same color as lean!!" but I promise out of respect for myself I will never sell out. I told myself I would get there by being true to myself, and that's what I plan on doing...

I just love music so much, it's insane. I wish I could make music with my favorite artists, or be in their position so people would be submitting me insane tracks and shit that I can just murder cus that's would I would do. I been born and raised in St. Joseph, MO though. You don't even want to know what kinda reception Hip Hop music gets here. I performed last night for 10 people, including the people working at the bar I was at. That's just how it happens sometimes, no matter how hard you try people still don't give a fuck. I want to get out of here so bad, cus there's absolutely NO opportunity here, but I don't have a good situation or a rich relative or any $ to get out of here. And it's killing my hope... but FUCK THAT! I aint ever going to stop my dream. I thought my feature on djbooth.net would do a lot for me too, and it did, don't get me wrong. I thought it would do more for me though, that maybe some one would recognize me, give me some credit, or some one would hit me up for a verse or somethin, but it didn't happen. I did get enough support to reach #10 on the Independent Chart, but now I can't get another feature. Djbooth LOVED FRESH, which is dope as fuck to me cus I LOVE that song too. Seven made a DOPE beat on that, but I can't afford no more shit from Seven. I can't even afford my electricity bill at the crib. I'd love to do more shit with Seven, but Seven has shit going on. He produces for his homies, and he's got people buying beats, so what does he need me for? He fucks with people that are makin moves, and to be honest I aint doin shit. I'm trying my hardest, and I feel like I'm making DOPE ILL shit, but I aint doing nothin. I work on music every day and every night, but I been out on my own doing it lately. What else am I supposed to do? Hit Seven up and bug him for free shit? I can't do that... I'm not a freeloader and it wouldn't be right, he's not worried about me, he's got bigger shit on his plate. Rob '05 been making me that DOPE shit though. Beretta B made me some dope ass beats too, and Ivan, and me and DJ Krunk made some dope shit together. Djbooth give me another chance please! No I can't ask for that, I just need to make some newer shit that is so ILL it can't be denied. Guess I'm back to the drawing board then. I just don't ever want my drive to slow down, because I WORK WORK WORK and WORK on my shit.

I jus don't understand how the fuck people get on? What am I supposed to do, cus I've been trying for years. I feel like I'm more ready now then I've ever been, but I can't get people to pay attention. It seems like I always have a plan, and I always put my plan in action, and it always seems to "almost work". Almost aint doing shit for me though. I got 2 kids to feed, I got family. I got shit to do. I aint in the position to do the shit I need to, but I'm tryin. It's not like there's any labels around here, or managers, or booking agents, or ANYTHING. By the way, my car just broke down. I can't even move around here. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I need a different game plan, and I'm gettin desperate. I've had my back against the wall a long time, so it's something I'm used to, but I'm getting tired.

Ring the bell, it's time for the championship round. Let's see what I do, cus I'm comin out swinging.

My Thoughts On Joe City Live (so far)

2009-09-10T14:38:00.002-05:00

My dream since I've been 9 years old was to make music. I live, breathe, eat, sleep, shit, and piss music. I been trying SOOOOO hard to make something happen with it too, and I have for SOOOOO long. I get frusturated sometimes, especially when it feels like you are out here alone with no help... I mean what the fuck is goin on? The only person that always kicks it with me and is always there is my dj, KRUNK WHAT UP!!!? My group is Joe Mizzery for life, and they been comin around a lot more lately too which is way coo, cus we definitely need to come together more. I been working on some new shit with Beretta B too which kicks ass cus that's who I started rapping with in the 1st place! It was only right that I had Beretta host Joe City Live with me. Also being the coo motha fucka that I am, I had to recognize the talent Shine Dope has, and put him on and let him headline so he can get the attention I feel he deserves, he's definitely been on his grind! Shouts out to 99 ent and Sumo too by the way! When Krunk, Miestro (whats up homie!?) and I (proper grammar motha fucka lol) brainstormed this idea up for Wednesdays we KNEW we couldn't just make it a concert, cause JOE CITY (the place that we named OUR shit after) wouldn't support a concert. So we're like, fuck it, we'll make it a party and have 3-4 15 minute slots a night! We usually have a guest appearance every time. Every other Wednesday seems to be going pretty good, every OTHER one that is... I mean is it so hard to come and support someone you've lived down the block from FOREVER??? It shouldn't be, but it is.

Beretta B posted this on Facebook:
This is how our town people do us! Some cats come from outta town and go to the college and throw a party and they tell females to promote it and they put it on they status send invites and do the hole 9 pass out flyers and err thing but when somebod...y from the st joe is tryin to get somethin poppin they wanna hate on us and not help us out at all!!?! I don't understand this. Why not show love to people that u grew up with or kicced it with why can't yall show us the same love yall show ne body else from outta town?!? I don't get it and it not sad.. I'm not mad.. Just disappointed!!!

_______

Is that not the truth? I don't understand it..... How can you not feel like you're at home, when you ARE at home???

I appreciate ALL of the support that we've gotten so far, more then any of you will know. The loyal people (meaning those who show up EVERY week), I appreciate that more then you will ever know! I've been performing on stage since I was 13, and this has been a cool experience for me. I'm not living my dream yet, but I'm on the road riding towards it, and I'm determined to make it no matter how long it takes. I couldn't believe that so few people came out to see us open up for Sean Paul, so I should NEVER EVER EVER expect anything from this place, right!? And to be completely honest, my focus is on getting the FUCK OUT of here, as far away as I can get. I will always say I'm from Joe City, I will represent it every breath until I die, because I'm from here and I'm not fake, but I HATE it here, and this is why....

I'm trying to do something positive, I'm trying my hardest to be a positive person. I take care of my kids, I work a full time job, and I do music ALL the time. I'm trying to live my dream, but I can't wake up from this nightmare. What am I supposed to do? I will leave as SOON as I get the chance, believe that, but until I do, can I PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE feel welcome in my own city? We are trying to do something for YOU, we want to draw attention to Joe City, positive attention to show what we are really about! And this is what I'm about, but what are YOU about? Are you satisfied? PEACE

My thoughts on BP3

2009-09-09T14:44:00.002-05:00

The BP3 I know has received some hate from those who don't understand it!!! You can't hate on the dood Hov for raising the bar on 'em again!!! I could do with out the song with Drake "Off That", that's the only downfall I hear on the whole disc. HOV is back to take over again, let him remind us all why he is and will forever be the KING of Hip Hop!

That Dood is BACK!!!!

So I've been pressing up the 7.5 Welcome To Joe City cd's this weekend. I'm more then likely not going to have an album release party, especially since I have about 5 more albums ready to go (providing Ivan finishes my mixes). So there's a lot of party opportunities coming in the near future. I'm just ready to get started. You will be able to purchase the album for $3. I'm not sure whether I'm going to use the hastings/record warehouse route this time. Especially since I'm selling the album for so cheap. Please support my record, it took me a while to get this out due to life kicking me in the face a couple of times, but its all good. I'm here now, and more ready then ever. I can't wait to get this goin which will allow me to release the rest of the cd's. The more 7.5 Welcome To Joe City's I sell, the more cd's I will be able to release. Stay tuned for more information, I really wish I had more time to finish this post, but I gotta go!!! I'll be back soon, possibly again today.

Also, I'm going to put some downloads on here so every one can hear me for free!!!!
