Inspiration.

I watch these two videos almost every day... The latter of the two, I've been watching since I was in 9th grade (2006-07).

It's odd, since I don't play an instrument or sing... Oh, well. Very inspiring videos to me.

Pharrell creating "Midnight Hour" for Natasha Ramos.

Ryan Leslie creating "Promise Not to Call."

It starts now.

I've just been looking at this dream, thinking about it... For 4 years now.
The time for spectating is over. I refuse to just be on the outside looking.
The time to chase and take what I want is just around the corner.
The first step begins SOON.

I'm motivated like never before.

Self-Help.
The Minute Mixtape.
The Composite.
Abstract Thoughts.
The Levi Chronicles.*

It's imminent.

*working title.

New favorite artist (AGAIN)!

Okay... Anyone who knows anything about me and music know that this is how I work: I'll select an artist, and almost ONLY listen to said artist for a period that ranges from 1 week to 3 months.

Here are some of those artists in the past (in order):

Mos Def
Pharrell*
Lupe Fiasco
Charles Hamilton*
XV
J. Cole
Blu
Q-Tip
Fashawn
Ryan Leslie*
Kendrick Lamar

*these artists are immortalized in my mind for various reasons

AND NOW:DANNY BROWN.

Not really gonna speak too much else on him (look him up). I watched this video and was amazed at the lyrics and, surprisingly, his delivery.

That is all for now.

Oh, and by the way, prepare for the ABSTRACT THOUGHTS world takeover.

Futurespect.

A song I did from mid-October.
The title is a word I [think I] made up that is a combination of "Futuristic" and "Retrospect."
Shouts to Philippe Edison on the instrumental.

Somewhere far along this road...

How could you be so... cold
As the winter wind when it breeze, yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You need to watch the way you talkin' to me though
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Hey yo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Hey yo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

How could be so Dr. Evil?
You're bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we wasn't gon' speak, so
Why we up 3 a.m. on the phone?
Why do she be so mad at me for?
Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me

Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got somethin' new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night

Dam Funk - Mirrors.

This is fuckin' ill.

I heard this song while I was blackin', spending hundreds of dollars at Urban Outfitters a few weeks back.

"Look inside your soooouuuulllll..."

And on a similar note, I'm a muthafuckin' lyrical wordsmith muthafuckin' genius!

Fuck Kmart.

They're the reason I haven't had time to blog... Or sleep. Or rap. Or do fuckin' ANYTHING.

I dead ass only got 8-10 hours of sleep since Monday. Fuck am I working 'til 12:30 this WHOLE WEEK?

Well, at least I copped an XBOX360...

Oh, and a-ha's "Take on Me" is my favorite song at the moment (with Tears for Fears' "Pale Shelter" coming in at a close second.

Peace.

The Blueprint 3

This album is audio cocaine. I don't even like Jay-Z like that.


Inspirational music, especially that "So Ambitious" track. It reminds me of when I would bump that "Anything" track in 9th grade (also produced by the Neptunes).

And that's all I can really say.

Oh, and I was reading this book, and I found a pretty good quote: "Without experiencing struggle, you will never truly appreciate your success." Of course I paraphrased...

Peaaaace.

D.Linquent mixtape news!

I thought of this great idea earlier tonight...
More details when I feel like going in depth...
(All information is as of THIS SECOND)

**********

The Trifecta Series (VERY likely to change this title, though).

3 mixtapes (Volumes 1, 2, and 3).

All songs produced by Charles Hamilton (again, not personally).

13 songs on each mixtape.

[Hopeful] release date for Volume 1: January (near MLK Day)... Then the next in February ( near Valentine's Day, no homo), the next in March (near St. Patrick's Day).

MORE INFORMATION TO COME... AS I THINK OF IT... LOL.

**********

No one's done anything like this in the area. All I need is the proper attention, and TAD-DOW!. I'm in there like a good weave. It's D.Linquent...

Whew!!!

My mind and my hand hurts! Pause.
Just wrote a whole song (hook and all).
That felt really good... I think I've only written a handful of songs non-stop. Hooray for me, bitches.

And on another note, I think I solved my FaceBook problem... That is, until I want to turn into "Stalker D to tha L" again...

Back atcha (and I pac[k] like "cap" backwards).

I'm still alive. Sorry, haters.

A lot has happened since my last post (obviously). Here's a very brief recap of things.

-Copped the Beats by Dr. Dre. That automatically makes me cooler than you... Or, way more than I was to begin with... Yeah.
-Multiple break-ups with you know who.
-The particular relative with the terminal illness passed away a couple of weeks or so after the entry I mentioned it in... So much for the 4-12 month period huh? Rest in peace. I still haven't been to the grave, though.
-Visited my father... Who fed me very well (LOL). So, yeah. Kinda not skinny anymore. Ugh.
-Went to Miami with my father... And now I have an interest in Central American females.
-I don't feel bad for "anything I did" in the summer, because it wasn't just me who wanted it.
-I'm still the illest rapper you've never heard of. Fuck you if you disagree.
-I want higher learning. Howard, Cornell, and Morehouse are among the top 3 (which one doesn't belong?).
-School started on the 17th. Niggaz tryna be the second coming of "Darnell" and shit. I'm not trippin' though, "'cause I been fly since I flew in."
-I still love Shi Reeves. My other wifey is Bria Myles. Damn... Her ass reminds me of someones...
-Me and my mother still disagree about damn near everything.

That's all I can think of. I'll be blogging more than before now. But, yeah. Whatever.

Oh, and if any of the above seems cynical in any way, it's because I'm such a jealous-ass nigga. And, I kinda don't give a fuck? Yeah. My personality and my looks/style make up for the jealousy (at least, it should). I guess it's mostly my fault, but, who cares. More on that later, though...

D.Linquent EP coming soon.
D.Linquent album on the way.
D.Linquent mixtapes coming with the quickness. Yes... Plural.

I'm out like regular skinny jeans. It seems the tighter the clothes, the flyer you are. Who cares if I wear super skinnies. So what. Ummm... more on that later, too.

This Perfect Life

Tomorrow... Tomorrow is not only Tuesday, June 16th, 2009, but it's also the release of [best rapper alive] Charles Hamilton's album: This Perfect Life. I must cop. I WILL COP. I read his blog and noticed that he said that the album will sound [dope as hell] with Dr. Dre Headphones. Those, too, I must cop. I also want to buy the Supra TK Society sneakers, but I'll blog about that some other time.

UPDATE ON MY MUSIC:

New mixtape dropping on my birthday, September 21st. It is currently untitled. Instrumentals by Charles Hamilton... Again, this will surpass the illness of the previous mixtape by a LONG SHOT.

STH also stated on his blog that he will executive produce an entire project for $8,000. I KNOW he'd work with me if he just heard some of my music... But, it's not that easy... Nothing is... Oh, well. I got the next best thing. Over 25 beats that CH provided himself on various mixtapes! Yeahzer!

That's all for now.

I'm out like the Orlando Magic in 5 games. LMAO.
