shoutout to 10 dollar royalty checks



see? royalty checks DO eventually show up. HUAH. DONT HATE.

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...

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
