:i dont believe there is such thing as TMI on the internet.
prp2: @tofu916 I would agree with that statement. Though I will say that who I am online is also who I am in the real world. No point otherwise.

just keeping the ball rollin. I was just speaking to a homie about how J Dilla revolutionized music. since the 1st time I heard this brotha, I have been a fan of his. Dilla died on February 10, 2006. i thought i was going to die. this was a man I had modeled mi earlier production after…

well, Dilla had a way of pushing his beats around. He would give out beat CDs to alot of people, from local to mainstream. any rough drafts are easy to find on the internet. some of his stuff, you can still hear the hiss of the 4 track he and slum village used to record on!

whether people just leaked his shit all over the place, or he did it himself, his rough drafts are now priceless commodities, and they arent hard to find and download. i still support Dilla by buying his releases, but there are countless gems that arent available via itunes or retailers.

ive always believed in not ‘leaking’ music that is still in draft form, but that was before web 2.0. as long as its mi music, it will be as available as Dillas music is. productions for artists i work with will still be respectively handled by the artists or their lables.

while the following is a rough draft (and has ‘watermarks’), i only ask that if you like this and other songs of mine, PLEASE share them. on your podcasts, torrent sites, limewire, myspace, your playlists, facebook, lastfm, imeem, smartphones, iphones/ipods or what have you.

i could NEVER be like Dilla. but when i die, i would like to be remembered via mp3 (same as any musician)!

thank you for your support! i LoVe yall.

    It’s about time I remembered to check this shit out, man… Very cool. For a rough draft, it sounds pretty clean and complete.
