Honestly.......
If I told you were beautiful
would you believe me
or think of me like others
thoughts of "he's just here to deceive me"
or maybe I'm meant to save you
thoughts of "he's just hear to relieve me"
But what I give is not enough
thoughts of "anything less is so beneath me"
ain't enough that you reached me
few ever get this view of me
about the same that catch this side of you
so why the questions now of you and me
as if I've started with a lie to you
Yes, I love the way you are
and Yes, I love the way we've been
and No, I don't want to further this
why? shit, I don't really know where to begin.
why should that matter when you have me now
and then, and then, days that last for 7 nites
sheets, and sweat, and moaning til u don't know how
my tat reads who I am so figure this must be what heavens like.
I guess the drink was never blended right,
cause u didn't seem to hear your options
built a wall for your emotions but that doesn't seem to stop them
and you expect me to adopt them,
with what we have as your accomplice
am I cold if deny you
ask me why don't I give more, I say was never gonna try to
then its your friends arms you go and cry too
when you know that only mine do
but look, its not that you, believe me your fine boo
a dime too, one that niggas lose they dimes too
with what your carrying behind you, that and you have a mind too.
Moms taught you how to act, life taught you how to think
somebody's queen for all to love and add to that that your a freak.
No, love, it isn't you that doesn't qualify
its just I'm at the point freedom is the only thing I wanna try.
Its not a player I personify, I'm just single and don't wanna lie
I've done the whole circus, tie me down, pretend we're perfect
flowers die, just follow time, and we depreciates to worthless
so, I cut out the middle man, and say farewell to those commitments
you should praise me! maybe not, but how have I made u the victim?
I express just what it is, no other way for us but straight up
We both agreed to try a bite, which led to emptying the plate up
nites we both were laid up, nicknames and shit made up
but I don't feel it like you feel it, so is that why women hate us
and then reveal the way they feel when we already gave the lay up
I don't conceal my first intentions, just a simple conversation.
I say let's keep eachother company, just enjoy infatuations
interpretation, you agree that means we're cool with sitatuations
so why the hell would you agree if you'd start bringing complications
I mean......
Doesn't the truth suit you fine, shouldn't that be enough
I apologize for the confusion, but if not then. tough.
Just know when I tell you that your beautiful I mean it.
and when I tell you that your special you should believe it.
and if I don't tell you that I love you, please don't assume from my actions
Yes, you got that good but don't assume from all the passion.
If you really want the real then all u need is just to ask it
and I'll send it, but its up to you to really read the package
Honestly.......
About/To/For No one in particular. Just felt like writing. Peace
-JDP.
Listening to: Oasis "Wonder wall"
The G.O.A.T @ Glastonbury
This is the whole set of Jay-Z's performance at Glastonbury. From the moment he walks out doing "Wonderwall" (See Oasis) it was straight dope. Check it out. Hip Hop ain't in Kansas anymore mayne!
Between this and "Glow in the dark" & Wayne doin a millie+ I think its safe to say that Hip Hop is very much alive.

Diddy & Wayne's secret to success.......
Lol "Cause your causing underage obesity"
The coolest set of turn tables........
From Go Figure:
From Berlin Germany, Metrofarm Studio has produced a number of stunning, custom built DJ Desks. Having released a concrete DJ table a couple of years back, the new desks, in folded stainless steel and wood painted black and neon orange demand attention. But they're not just for finely tuned vinyl slingers looking for the perfect ergonomic ratios to heighten their musical flow. They're for anybody with a musical mind and an eye for detail, looking to add spark to a lounge room, club or gallery. It's art for the DJ's sake.
If you've never thought about DJ'ng these will make you want to.

My favorite brand releases their 08' collection.
From Hype Beast:
With their early collections marked by models smearing themselves with cake, New York based CAKE has brought a new dimension on board in their 2008 summer collection. Although the fairer sex still plays a prominent role in their designs, the angle and direction has been altered. Available now in-stores with a list of stockists seen here.

Ahead of his time.......
I was on All Hip Hop and they were giving a tribute to James Brown for black music month. They had this song listed along with the song and artist it inspired today. You can listen to both and tell me what you think.......
James Brown "King Heroin"
Jay-Z "I know"
James's is more somber and serious but still, ahead of his time with the concept.

From Highsnobiety: Yet another nice Gazelle OP pack is coming from Adidas. This time they present a white and chocolate brown Gazelle with a perforated pattern going over the entire upper. The pack has a very simplistic and yet luxury feel. Via Streething.
Expect it to be out in stores soon.

Will it make me wanna get up in the morning?.........?
From Freshness:
After adding a few improvements to the immensely popular Nike+ program, Nike announced recently that it has join forces with the famous DJ/producer A-TRAK in producing an unique recording specifically suited for runner. The 45-minute long record, titled Running Man: Nike+ Original Run, will feature a mix of electronic and hip-hop with a difference, the rhythm must keep pace with a 45-minute run. This gave A-TRAK an unique set of challenges to overcome.
Set to release on Tuesday, June 24th, this fourth installment of the Nike+ Original Run series, with A-Trak, will be exclusively available in the Nike Sport Music section of the iTunes Store for US$ 9.99.
The Carter 3 is official. Phone Home.

Working...........
Thats where you can find me. I don't expect anywhere to care or notice that I have been absent on the scene for a minute. I'm around as I usually am but on the music side I've been relatively quiet. Sometimes you gotta take a step back and look at the bigger picture, to me my picture seemed to be getting smaller and smaller until I felt like I didn't have any space left to operate. The box is not for me, I don't like the idea of fitting into it. So again, I took a step back to reflect on myself and my music and the direction/sound/ ect... that I felt it should be going in. Re-enter studio......Now just because I haven't been out and about doesn't mean I haven't been working. I am a songwriter, and other people need songs written. Lately I've been working with a few artists and producers on their music, no need for names, just not some very good things are in my gmail account when I open it up. So, since that has been my sidebar during this little inner journey of mine then imagine the main event to come. I'm excited about future developments and currently the stuff I've been working on feels alot more like home than the other shit. Therefore, er'go, look out for new music, a mixtape full of material that I've been keeping in the vault for 2 years now. Lol, I've been working on "Defying Gravity" for 2 years and its still not done....Just stay posted and know my idle time isn't just being spent @ the bar or something. I work man. I work. oh yeah.....a little perspective, when listening to "styrofoam cups" imagine that as your journey to the club experience in my eyes. dig.Listening to: Unkle "Reign"
It's Him.......
Last night, Obama claimed the democratic nomination. The Future looks bright man....
Can you tell me the time.......
If I could, I would replace my Nooka with the Nekura but I'm already dedicated to that system of telling time. The "Nekura" uses LED/LCD lights that allow you to pick your own color. Dope.
How they party in space......
Walter Meego "Wanna be a star"
Haha. It doesn't start cracking until the choreographed dancing......

What needs to be heard........
N.I.G.G.E.R(Slave-Master) Lyrics....
I love this song so much man. This album is going to be sick and I love what Nas is trying to do.
They say we N – I - Double G – E – R
we - are - much more,
still we choose to ignore,
the obvious.
Man this history don’t acknowledge us,
We was scholars long before colleges.
They say we N – I - Double G – E – R
we - are - much more,
but still we choose to ignore,
the obvious.
We are the slave and the master,
What you looking for?
You the question and the answer.
We trust no black leaders,
Use the stove to heat us,
Powder eggs and government cheeses,
The calendar was Martin, JFK, & Jesus,
Gotta be fresh
Go to school with fly sneakers.
Schools with outdated books,
we are the forgotten,
Summers coolin’ off by the fire hydrant.
Yeah I’m from the ghetto,
Where old black women talk about they sugar level,
It’s not unusual,
To see photos of dead homies’ funerals,
Aluminum foil on t.v. antennas
Little TV sit on top the big TV eatin TV dinners,
Girls die they hair with kool-aid,
They gave us lemons we made lemonade,
But this nigga’s paid,
Ancestry of slaves,
Descendant of Kings
It’s necessary I,
Bling,
Puts rings on every thing
Where Timbs on every scene.
[Chorus]
Do I mean it like a slave master?
NI**er!
No!
I’m gangsta
Gotta eat rappers!
My abbreviation
Was young when I caught the cases,
That should mean the court could see my changes
Take off the bracelets,
Savage when broke,
Smoke sour diesel
Need no Bo-flex
My chest still cut-up like a bag of dope,
Thought patterns consist of boss matters,
Spit Moses’ “Lost Commandments”
Like a gross sandwich out my mouth.
Toast to government cameras
Peepin us every week
I must have my cars homes & phones
squeaked for bugs,
but this is what I was dreamin of,
between cutting hard coke with new razors
slicing my fingers up,
they use to string us up,
we wanted everything,
but the one bringing us cake be the snakes
like the…
like the New Jack City wedding scene
no time for mistakes trying to get it like (M___?)
[Chorus]
My nig…
Whattup my nig?
People afraid of criticism
But I always put myself in a sacrificial position!
They been know I ain’t just rappin for fame,
I got my old homie (___?) the father asking for change!
Yep! I’d give this cash up
This paper don’t matter
They seen me from skinny to fatter
When I rap about war,
They got the tendency to scatter,
They ain’t my backup no more,
So now my enemies are at my front door,
Cuz any time we mention
our condition, our history or existence,
they calling it reverse racism,
still till today the street’s torn,
my brother Jungle always have a seat for ‘em
not behind me - beside me
you’ll always know where to find me,
they say the close ones will hurt you,
so let’s keep a small circle,
on the road to riches, and diamond rings
in the land of the blind
the man with one eye is the king.
[Chorus]
