Aye ..LG here from c.t. .Ive been puttin in dub for mad long , since 96 . I actually and honestly been spitting since like 92,93 no bullshit .Where i live out here in danbury was mad hood back in like the late 80's early to late 90's , crackheads n ballers everywhere,sick cars with systems pounding, lots of fights,gun shots going off,people gettin jumped,stabbed,beat downs,gangs. until the zero tolerance shit came out and the cameras came out , out here. anyways yea , so everybody that was iLL back then used to pull their single tapes out n put em in the boom box and get it in to whatever instrumentals was up there.. my first shit that i actually was practicing to was nowhere to run nowhere to hide... had some sick deadly verse n i was like 9 or 10 back then the only white dude chilling with these cats ... ever! sayin the n word n all that lol (that was a big deal to be able to say that freely back then and even now :p)was so crazy being in the projects chilling with these kids n stealing bikes to get home from the other side of town.I atleast can say i never rode a girls bike .. my boy mike h from back then cant though he used to get stuck with little girls bikes all the time i mean the little pink ones with the white tires n all that ,training wheels n all that lol n from that point on i copped every single that appealed to me .. (im skipping kriss kross n the brat n the happy go lucky shit ...if you lived it youd know 92,93 was a very fun/silly stage for hiphop as far as growth goes)junior mafia..goodie mob,redman(funkorama),mobb deep,chino xl,nas,az,biggy,pac,lil keke,master p,big L,canibus....I had alot of joints ,alot of rare joints too..to make a long story short i was down .. Id write as much as i could when i was home cuz back then for a long time my dream was to be in the WU.. ever since i first heard they debut cd and saw them videos i was hooked .. we were all wearin ski masks,those open ended beanies with the string tied around the middle,the bart simpson/bugs bunny gangster t shirts n shit from canal street... shit was so real back then... if they pulled what they pulling now back then .. they wouldve got sonned big time... this homo thug shit shouldve never been rockin ..period .I mean come on son !!!! the music on the radio is wack as hell ! and people really trying to emulate it and copy it like its crack !! im so done with the rap scene right now.. thank god for the kotd shit or i would just work on my shit n not even listen to rap at all .. i mean when gucci n wayne the number 1 rappers out in the world you know somethings really wrong!!!!!. anyways.so yea i wrote n wrote n wrote until 96 when Bboying came into play out here.. we started going to clubs at 12 out here in 96 and started seeing 3D and these breakers from all over c.t. fahdayz ,this cat allen,veasna aka bboy phyve.and i put rappin on the back burner to get into that .. we practiced everyday me n a few other cats from my neighborhood like 4 or 5 of us...walked on my hands everyday,got down moves one at a time three at time a few at a time whateva whateva.. got combos as i caught em..I learned in hiphop that every element is pretty much the same in the way you learn them and execute your moves/combos/rhythym/style ...it all comes down to feeling the beat ,wether you writin,rhymin,dancin,spinnin,taggin,beatboxin,prod ucin...it all comes down to your personal relationship with the beats...how you hear it,feel it,interperate it,n how you execute what you gonna do in it..
I didnt really understand punches right away n right around my peak of bboying in 2001-2002 I finally understood what i needed to do and really saw how i nice i was at rhyming during a session with a close friend of mine at the time ...I was always sick at coming off the top and catching alot of flips(combos like bloody fist ,crush yer bitch,touch her lips,with a ton of dick the fuck the bitch until she comes n pisses in yer mothers bed),and voices .whatever.. so i said fuck bboying too much work for not so much gain...(breaking involves hours of practicing everyday,stretching for hours everyday,dancing everyday,pain everyday... to me in the end it was just too much pain for hardly any pleasure) so I went back to rhyming.Yahoo instant messenger was around then .. i used to spit with alot of ill cats back then and really learned alot .. copywrite ,jakki,wack emcees,bricksteez,perpetuals thought,dspiize,bronx battle cat,XL(K.R.)...mad other cats to mention.. so at this point in 2002 i was out of school ,was hustling to make ends meet,writing every chance i had,spitting in alot of ciphers everyday ,learning to make beats hitting up local studios (this cat critical i grew up with was coming up at this point making beats).. so basically id be training all day , and at night lighting up blunts in the crib and having ciphers with these dudes on yahoo chat.. shit got played out quick .. i had a kid ,,moved up north to maine for two years from 03-05..moved back to c.t. and at the end of 05 i met mic ripz a really sick mc and battle rapper from a town close by to where i lived..we got up n built one day n were tight ever since .come to find out his girl lived accross the street from my cribbo in db so it was pretty much fate at this point that we build and that we did.. we recorded a few insane dungeon tracks where we spit like 50 bars each n 30 punches def more punches in one track than a whole will i am album.. but thats beside the point.We battled one time for a promo event n ripz was really on the come up at this point he had alot of punches n verses memorized n was really into the battling scene at the time n i didnt.. i pretty much beat my two opponents by freestyling . and freestyled against him .. we went 2 rounds each and they wanted an o.t. we did it n he one fair n square although he said alot of shit that really wasnt true ,he got me .Ripz was ready to destroy in this battling shit and he did for a long while ripping one after another after a another.At this point in 06 i was gettin gwap n was focused on that n partying more than recording n writing although i still was nasty,I just wasnt memorizing shit . n left my dreams on the back burner.Alot happened in a short ammount of time flew by in an instant it seemed.several months of drinking n smoking piff every night.really fogged up my mind n my ideas.I cut the drinking out a little and began watching alot of anime and horror movies while i wrote my verses.At this point I was ready to work on my debut mixtape in summer of 06' I went to a local producer Firzt born to buy some beats he was postin on myspace at the time that he was doing this deal 50 a pop or somethin so i hit him up went over there n copped like 5 pow.A week later he calls me up like yo G those other joints you wanted dadadadadah i got for you the thing is im moving out of this apartment n need this money for my security etc etc etc. so i say whatever bring me the six joints n ill give you the 300 no prob. so the next day he comes by n says listen heres your cd i only had time to put 3 in song mode n get em on there n blah blahblahblah blahhh.So me having the dough n him supposebly being some kinda semi-known producer/real dude , I trusted him id get the other 3.. to make a long story short ... i never got the beats .. i called texted voicemails messaged n in the end i said fuck it... Got FL studio , Got this 10 or 20 dvd pack of sound packs and started making my own beats(and never used his beats .. i saved them and the darts i wrote to them for a rainy day when i feel like hurting feelings) ... im not gonna sit here n front like i was an instant legend but i will say after my tenth or eleventh beat I had locked sampling down and developed my own style within a week...now fastforward 4 years,Job corps in bangor maine,alot of money later,alot of drugs later,alot of gear n northface n steep techs n kicks n fitteds n tattoos n friends later,a couple females later... I had my studio setup :digi 003 board ,macbook pro,mpc 5000,waves diamond package.(I got nice on the mpc but I honestly prefer FL over it anyday , FL is just so easy to make fire with ,its like magic to me .dont get me wrong the mpc is an awesome instrument but i just dont make the style of music i love with it.I skipped alot of shit alot of books n pussy n warstorys n fights,n detox,n sons,alot of trips(acid)lots of shit.. me n my boys were gettin it in at 12 how most freshmen in college are now...We were real baby gangsters back in the day n now we are living our lives n striving to reach our dreams to the best of our abilitys.I dont know why i wrote all this .. i feel like i just spoke at an N.a. speaker meeting just now , and now i gotta go outside n smoke a newport. Much love to all yall canadians , K.o.t.d ,Organik,all yall battlers out there,And most of all Phat shout outs to all the HIPHOP HEADS OUT THERE! Only yall can change the way the music is on the radio right now.. if they playing all that wack shit dont listen to they station .. play love songs at night or just listen to your own music on mp3 or cd's..cuz nothing changes if nothing changes .one more gem for yall.I read three books that really helped me change my whole entire life from the inside out make sure you get them asap...read them asap::: Natural cures , The power of now(a new earth) , and The wutang manual by rza. those books will lead you to your path if you havent found it yet ... im talking about the next level .. enlightenment...
