MANSWOON.

this dude is responsible for hours upon hours upon hours of happiness in my life. from his music/his groups music to his site to his liner notes to his PUTTING ME ONTO J DILLA (well i was up on jay, but i wasnt jocking like that at first until i heard fantastic...which i wouldnt have known about if it wasnt for okp) to him getting everybody jay z tickets etc....

and now this?

and now this?!!?!?!?!?!??!

shoutout to 10 dollar royalty checks

n*ggas slept HARD

#1 complaint: "yo this shit is boring why is it so laid back?"

this shit knocks yo...i didnt realize how much i listen to this until i picked the cd up and realized it came out in 2005. i bought it the day it dropped and i didnt even know it was dropping, i just went to fat beats because the designeriknow fwmj told me he was going to kevs in store and i said id roll with him. its roughly 2 years old and ive never stopped "casually throwing it on" so that must mean this is one of my favorite albums right? wow...this is like an intervention "von...we wanted to talk to you. weve noticed you listen to this album a lot. von...its one of your favorite albums youre not just casually playing it. its been 2 years von"

not that this is some guilty pleasure shit at ALL, i just never get to talk about it because when i tried when it dropped folks were like "its too laid back sleepytime blah blah" this shit is heat. if "say sumthin" is laid back to you, you must listen to "bombs over Baghdad" all day. the majority of the album knocks like a muhfucka and on some producer shit for him to make a whole album with basically the same (sampled) instruments is ill to me. thats like having an electronic band. the whole album is drums and strings.

moral of the story is...if you can listen to fantastic vol 2 then you cant say "i do what i do" is too laid back. sometimes i think im losing my mind because im hearing heat and other people dont hear the heat???? YOU DONT HEAR THE HEAT???? sheesh...

We just won best video.

1 down...maybe 2 more to go (best group, best album)

Ilyas is at the ohio music awards styling on em on behalf of the 3 of
us...he said they got it looking like the grammys and shit lol

We got an award! The award winning tanya morgan!!!!

Ill be back with the updates if we win anything else.

PICK YOUR FACE UP, PEA!

i just caught a well deserved L.

but its a good one though...i learned my lesson. im gonna be a man about it and accept that slap on the wrist and keep it moving. if you know me just ask me in person and ill tell you what im talking about. it has something to do with the trilogy posts (which are all mysteriously missing now)

we may not be going where we thought we were going, but im in good spirits today just because. lets see how long is lasts lol

yo aeon, you disappeared when i was about to send that joint! well here it is.* i plan on running this into the ground.

old donuts taste better

pea (1:35:53 PM): dilla destroyyyyyed "two can win".
dom (1:36:35 PM): 'erm. okay.
pea (1:36:15 PM): i mean i knew but i didnt really hit me til just now
dom (1:36:47 PM): did the late bus just arrive or something?
dom (1:36:55 PM): that's the best donut.
pea (1:36:40 PM): im just really realizing how he turned it into another song not even a beat
pea (1:36:59 PM): he has them adlibbing different throughout the whole shit
dom (1:37:40 PM): yup
pea (1:37:15 PM): i never really peeped that, i knew he did that but i never really really payed attn
pea (1:37:29 PM): i was ignoring the vocals
pea (1:37:33 PM): all this time
dom:(1:38:20 PM): you've been missing out

soul amazing.

damn its been over a week huh?

my bad?

yo trackademicks gave me a bunch of jams and i cant decide...out of the ones that can fit on "peas gotta..." (fit meaning, dont stray away from the overall sound) which one i like the most. theres this joint with an ill synth flute sample (i think thats a synth flute sound...f*ck it who cares its ill) and theres another one from the 1st batch he gave me and these 2 are battling right now. the fast joint from the 1st batch will smack you from the gate but this flute joint is so infectious. then theres this other joint that reminds me of "fetti scrilla scratch" but can you hear that on a von pea album? then again...who knows what a von pea album sounds like in 2008? you really dont know yet and youll be surprised. if you think its gonna be 12 "stay tuned"s you're out of your mind.

on that note this song is dedicated to the once and future lady pea.

see you on the 15th....sis :-P
