But then.......

Tonight is gonna be a fun night. Hope I catch you all @ the Buddha lounge tonite. We have fun man. Just fun.

The Dream ft Lil Jon "Let me see your booty"

From time to time....

I miss her who knows who she is.

You know what you can do.....

You can vote however you like.....lol

Politics and Mexican Food.....

Lol. Me and T ran everywhere looking for a television set since neither of us live downtown. Trying to see that Obama ad special. Just needed 30 minutes of someones time. Of course, it was wednesday and it was like 7. I didn't expect that many poeple to be at home and I was right about that. We ended up @ a mexican resturaunt buying sprite and tacos to change the channel. Lol, yes. To ME. It was that serious. I already know where my vote is going, but I'm amazed by the strength of his campaign. How smart it is, how reaching it is. How positive it feels, and that it feels like we are so close to making things happen. Of course its funny to find out that it was on the internet and that all of our running around could've been saved, but I felt good watching it when I was meant to catch it. So, if you need another reason to make the right decision for your country, and yourself. See, what we saw:



Sidenote: Dig how official the video looks.

Another reason to not vote.....

Lol. Seriously, Go vote man. What are you doing. Go! Vote, now.

Robocop....

Kanye West "Robocop"

The newest leak off of "808's and Heartbreaks" I'm still on the fence, I dig it though.

Halloween is gonna go hard......

Back @ the buddha. 90's fresh.

Leaning, Leaning....Low....

So we celebrated DC's bday this weekend. His girlfriend came in from Detroit with a nice birthday present for both of us. Some Hawaiian punch! Lol. Nah, we had fun though, in some sort of distorted reality where everything feels like slow motion and it taste like cough syrup and gray goose. Yea, we go hard. Shoutout to Micheal Bohane (ha), and the soundbar people for hooking us up with the bar for the night. Below are some pics, and the theme song of the night.


Sidenote: Been bumping this since friday. New joint of the moment.

Freestyle Fridays....

This is how we end the night. A few joints, a few beats and some fun.

I need this on my wrist.....

Yea. My wrist booms like that. lol

A week away......

I was never into politics. As a kid you never are, I remember being in junior high when bush got in office, and I remember how high school got a little bit harder when my mother was layed off. I remember being a freshman when 9/11 hit, and I remember even then, not believing in the ideas layed out by Bush. I remember wanting to vote for Kerry but not yet being old enough, even though I didn't like Kerry I just wanted something different from the world I was living in. It's been 4 years and that world has gotten colder, its gotten harder, and I've gotten older. I never thought I'd be here, neither did my mother or my grandparents, or most of the world for that matter. But here we are, a week away from electing a african american man for the office of president of the united states. Electing the idea of hope over fear and change over more of the same. I have friends who plan on voting for mccain, and its cool, we're still cool. But know that when the dust clears and Obama is standing on the podium I will be in the audience to hear him. Win or lose. I don't think any of us fully understand the major impact that someone like Barack Obama brings to this country and its look on itself and its look over the world. I am voting this year, and I will tell my kids that I was here and how it felt to be apart of change. You hear stories about this time when it seems like things can actually change, where it seems like you can actually make a difference. Except the difference here is that, we get to be apart of it this time. We get to tell that story. We're a week away. Change is coming.

Legendary Status.....

Will be going to go see this movie. Who coming with me?....

Where do we stand.....

Where do we stand.

Side by side we stand.

Back against the wall, selves against the world.

or at least against them. Only us.

Hands gripped upon sheets and pillows

passionate, forever-ish brushes painting our portrait.

Slowly in motion amongst the fast paced.

or maybe, moving to fast for oursleves.

Back to back we stand.

hand in mine, mind & mind alike

souls seem so similar, the match not often found

Four lettered words so often said when many tell us to leave at three.

So close you are, woven into the culture of me.

What's yours is mine & mine is yours

and you are mine.

Lost in this, bliss, that knows no wall or time.

A dollar past dozens of dimes

worth the effort spent.

Knowing neither of us is alone in this.

World where more crash than connect, we brace eachother for impact.

Face to face we stand

Studying, staring, speaking, hoping

that when reality shifts

we'll still be meant to exist. This.

Countless hours counted, your voice the numbers.

or counting cell minutes, thank god for the fav 5. lol.

Eyes,

lost deep in yours and you in mine

sharing more than words, and thoughts, and silence.

until.

Something slips, and we collapse to the abyss

then quick.

Pictures ripped, voices meant to forget

filled with "you ain't shit"

and the uncaring "whatever bitch"quick.

reality shifts, and we don't....

Far apart we stand

with millions of voices in between

where ours use to be

you and me.

Leaving nothing but memories meant to be missed

choosing not remember what you can never forget.

Friends between sides, "spoils of war"as long as they don't remind me....

ours is a cold war, with warm thoughts.

Lives are legendary, a story they tell to newlyweds.

& then they ask what I ask

once the wounds have healed

& the wall is torn down & we both remember how

nice our names sound

when said by the other

& after I use to love h.e.r

at this point with no place, unknown to us

once forgiven, then what?

admit this type of thing is tough.

where then

Do we stand?

The funniest part is......

This is our lives......

Whatever catches my eyes.

or my imagination......

I love her cause she got her own.....

Her grind + My grind = On point.

When I cleaned the crib.....

My mother was into Hip Hop, early, LL, Slick Rick, Run-DMC ish....my grandmother, was jazz. She was Frank, & Miles, and Coltrane. She use to tell me about the days she use to go to jazz bars and listen to it for hours. She's the original artist in my family, photography and painting, and sculpting, she's dope. While I was growing up this was my saturday morning music, blasting throughout the crib while she revisted those memories, the love of the music, the same love she gave to me. Now, every so often, when I really just want to chill, I play some of this....and it still does the trick....

They said life is like a slideshow........

Not to sound negative, but we don't have a long time to live in this world. Everyday the amount of life that we have to live and enjoy grows shorter and the clock doesn't stop ticking. I realized a long time ago that the best way to live life was to give myself to it, all of its ups, all of its downs, everything that came with it rather negative or positive as long as I keep my mind focused on the goals at hand. I enjoy everday that's given to me, I try to capture these moments through pictures, words, videos, but most importantly my music. Release is the high marks of my life right now, Freedom Land is the world I'm fighting to survive in. My music is my life and I don't plan on letting these moments slip away from me without finding some way to hold on to them, and enjoy them..and celebrate them. I'm only 21 and my story is already a bestseller, imagine the what 25 looks like, or 30....there's no limits man. That's what FLYY means to me, no limits, just dope ass moments....with music....like a slideshow....

Day-N-Nite.......

So, As I cruise the nightlife here in chicago one song I find pounding in every party from republic to the lofts...."Day and night" When I first time I heard the song was like a few months ago. I was bored cruising on the internet and that joint woke me. Then I was drunk as hell, techno club lights flashing, with that smoke machine on full blast, some fine ass chick is dancing in front of me and this joint comes on & I was high...and....

apparently...Jim Jones fucks with it as well....lol

For those of you who missed it.........

"Let's get into some chi-town ish......."

Ok. Gemstones....Shayla G.....Substance.....Ptoda.....and yours truly.....Heart of the city pt.1....helluva show.

The Jokes on her......

Sarah Palin on SNL........Wow.

The Love of my life......

The original "Damn!" chick. I know every girl is going to be chanting this from block to block, I won't be able to escape it. Just like that goddamn B'Day album. I need a beyonce in my life man. Maybe then I would slow down....I do feel this joint from the guys view cause "If I liked it then I woulda put a ring on it".......ha.

Chicago comparisons.......

Ok, so Freedom Land is making some noise. If no other song I makes some noise at least let it be the one I feel needs to be heard. My friend @ the lemur blog got a hold of it and posted it up on his blog. Peep what he had to say about me and the song here:

The Ideal......

Freedom Land......

I watched a movie today reflecting on War......at the end of all the bloodshed the message was "Freedom isn't free"......what the fuck? Then I wrote this.

JDP -"Freedom Land"

Thinking point of view........

T-Pain & Ludacris "Chopped and Screwed"

Why I love Real s***

Quick word. I'm a real dude. The people I kick it with on a daily basis are real dudes. The people that I lend my hand to, support to, voice too, or whatever else I consider real dudes. I don't say whats up and then sneer when you walk past me. If I don't fuck with you, I'm not saying whats up. I'm not pretending we're cool when I really can't stand your "I'm mad cause I'm not as fresh or not as good or not doing what JDP's doing" ass. Forreal man, my homie stefan said a long time ago, actually hov did but his qoute comes out of it "sensitive thugs, they all need hugs" If you don't fuck with me, don't put ya hand out when I put out a genuine one. I don't need you to fuck with me, I'm just trying to be cool cause I feel like there's enough hate in this world and I ain't trying to add to it. Really, why lie. I don't. So chill, pop one of those pills, and be like these dudes below. Real.


Fall Out Day from jeff on Vimeo.

Forever Mayne.......

I'm still not where I want to be. I'm a taurus, by nature we're selfish, a little greedy, bullheaded. But unline our bogus sterotype of a zodiac sign, I find myself appreciating the little moments that occur. I look back two years ago and the distance between then and now is amazing. Even little steps take you closer to your goal and the fact that I wear a size 12 sorta helps my distance. Cmon now, I'm opening for one of chicago's hottest mc's this saturday on my way to getting there and I just got my royalty check for a song I don't even play anymore. I feel good, I feel fresh. I know that 2morro is another day of oppertunity and another chance to move this game forward. We don't believe in limits around here mayne!!! My life ain't the same as it was and I ain't even there yet. I'm glad I'm a taurus regardless, it makes me harder to satisfy.

"I want this forever"

It may not mean nothing to yaw

But understand nothing is done for me

So I don't plan on stopping @ all

I want this ish forever mayne. Ever mayne.

Of Politics and T-Shirts.......

Of Politics and T-Shirts

The t-shirt say progress.
Lightning sign on the boutique window echoes its standard
They sale a lifestyle
a certain style of life
countless stacked racks of countless additions.
unknown names and rarities
covered in the fresh smell of new shoes.
Life's style spread so neatly in its patterns.
and the T-Shirt says progress.
Funny finding the image here, as if to echo.
All too common thoughts of tomorrow.
In the near future and wondering how far I should be concerned with.
In a day when all we know is progress and the want,
the need to grow, to move forward, to realize.
The message is the lifestyle.
The cake chilling next to the greedy geniuses.
Major threats and rebels yelling obey.
crooks and castles underneath stacks of gold coins
Fuct.
But what stands out to me.
In a place full of familiarity
similarity, and real rarities
Reality parodies.
and lies followed carefully.
With colors more familiar than the ones of my roots.
Meant to mean truth.
The idea of it.
The image above it not asking for my money
or my obedience
or my life
Just asking me to look at a thought.
I found what fits.
My purchase from the messengers.
The T-Shirt said progress.

Decisions, Decisions, Places, Faces, People and Paces. I often found myself in the back and forth motion like the rest of world caught in between my own comings and going. I want to say congratulations to The Bartendaz. for placing in that beat battle with Lenny S. I mad I missed it, and sarah who's back in Ny. DA's in ATL, and I'm deciding on a major decision about the next couple of months. I swear man, a few more of these months and me and LA are going to be saying waddown, ya dig.

U-N-I "Beautiful Day" remix

It's storming in Chicago right now. It seems to me as if summer disappeared right when we got into the swing of things. But that's how it goes here in the windy city. The cold, the snow, the wind, that's the real Chicago. Summertime is like a brand new place, we call summertime one big vacation. It's beautiful here in the summer. So in celebration of the goodbye to summer, I post this joint. Enjoy.

I mean, you don't have to......

Don't vote if you don't want to. Its cool.
