Apparently, there was some backlash about the latest Live @ 12 w/ Sha-leik.
I was too high.
Well, I got a lot of work down, was celebrating being back HOME, AND was with a long time friend. I deserved a tree break. We smoked A LOT before I went live, and my caffeine high was coming down. Plus I been moving around the city like mad.
My fatigue was justified.
And I STILL recorded a joint with Sha. Whether he keeps it or not is up to him.
As you heard, his production is more R&B these days. And he HAS hits (with me) that are hip-hop.
We both are fighting The Curse of The Pink Lavalamp (which is a real thing).
We've both grown since TPL. I'm darker, he's smoother. But there's no doubting the QUALITY of our individual music.
Bash (Sebastian Acevedo) may get down with us. Hiero (from Brooklyn) may get down as well. But me and Sha came too far to let anything get between us.
Man. New York never felt better. I swear I love this city. A lot of people recognized me (!) and showed me love. Like... A LOT of people. I think NY and I have this understanding where, I do it big with the rest of the world, and treat NYC like it's my mama's house.
I CREATIVELY wild out in the city. I'm never disrespectful.
Harlem was LIT. Didn't see anyone I recognize outside (--Aliens!!!), but there were a lot of folks playin the block. They recognized me, said wassup... nothing too major. I did hear "THERE HE IS!" and "HE'S HERE!" a lot. Got a chance to link up with Paris (P Dunner), Sha-leik and VK. School was closed this week (didn't know that). I also got a chance to see Uncle G and My Grandma!!! I would've been CRUSHED if I came all the way here and didn't see them...
I just want to say, I love this city, and I plan to rep to the fullest wherever I go. Even if that means to show Diddy some love on the west coast (hint).
More to say, just waiting on my flight. Can't really write under these conditions.
It's not a rumor. I am indeed in New York. I am laying low, but shout out to Ruff Ryders for holdin me down in the hood (when I do go). Much love to them.
It started raining when I touched down. A sign of the divine.
It would be nice to be recognized on the train by someone, so be on the look out for me in the city.
I miss LA. I can accept it as my new home now.
I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!!!
Maybe that's not enough.
So I'm just gonna hold NYC/Harlem down wherever I go.
Whether you believe in me or Destiny, you gotta believe in something. Magick. Practicing. Come bring it! Someone wanna sing. Let them free! Sing from your chest! From your stomach. "Comin' through!" Vomit. Can't stop it. As long as I'm Gothic, I got it. Bombing. Like Sound-. Jamaican folks, get down! Making quotes within the crown. Making folks... get down! That's the way I rise. The way I do. Can't be escapable. Gotta keep you in the Python trap. I'll be right back with a song... that I write.

I just want to see the people rise.
I just want to set the people free.
I just want to get the people high.
I want you
to believe.
(verse 2)
There must be a different way to adjust things. Bustin rhymes mean you're just free. Except when you write it. You're free to write, but you're enslaved to the rhythm. A slave to the rhythm. 16 bars. Far from enough to reach the stars. But I keep it enclosed and powerful, so those who need to know will know that Sour and Dro is the way to reach it. Freedom in the high. Never leaving anybody by. Being by the side of anybody. The greatest support system for a drug. Forcing your listening. I'm bugged. Like an engineer. Make it work. Make it mix. Regardless I make you sit with this crazy shit!

(verse 3)
I laugh in the face of DOOM. I panic in the face of happiness. My penis is happy 'cause I have not been inside of a womb. Exactly what you get is all I give. All I conjure up. A monster, but far from stuck with Contra. I'm not in a game. Sonic Frontiers. Open season. Open range. You know the name. Spoken flames. Over brains. Like a headache from an ice cream cone, ya know? So don't complain. You got the flavor. It's major. SEGA made me a major playa. Thank Yah! So I'm rollin deep with just one. You know me. Poetry Adjust.

^ ^ ^ I'm sure this needs explaining, but it's pretty much a think piece about being a Gothic monarch (figure) and trying to promote one's kingdom to parts unknown.
Including the kingdom, full of infidels and sleep folk.
Perhaps predicted by Eminem, but it still reigns supreme.
The L Word Series (Looking for Lady Luck whiLe Lurking the streets for a Lady amongst bitches, hoes, whores and women)
The Intervention Series (overdosing on substances [literal and physical] and seeking help from the divine)
The StH Series (living in humanity as a hybrid of Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Robotnik)
The Awkward Series (intimate relations with celebrities)
The Villain Series (hiding behind Curtis Mayfield; including Vigilante)
...
All come to a head with this album.
Fuck it. Call it a mixtape
^ ^ ^ Executive Producer: Jimmy Iovine
No word on shit until the album drops.
You'll still get your song-a-month. But you need to be detoxified for an entire Hamilton release. I think you people (yes, I said you people; I mean THE UNIVERSE IN WHOLE) are slightly spoiled with music nowadays. And it's 100% my fault. I give you quality music at a high rate, and those who want the spotlight try to emulate me using the industry's "standards". Well, let's just say that Mr. Iovine (he hates when I call him that; lol) changed my tone of heart towards human beings.
I had to take a few days off, due to some spiritual awakening I hade while hanging out w/ Jason...
We were smoking bowls in Echo Park when a duo of Christ worshippers walked up. One woman, one man. They stood in front of me, and the woman says, "Do either of you have any pain in your body?". I said, "At THIS moment in time, that's too invasive of a question." She insisted on praying for me. After the prayer, she stepped back, and... Wouldn't you know it?! The pain was gone!
Mind you, Jason is a Jesusfreak and is always trying to get me to go to God (despite my beliefs in Dr. Dre, Timbaland and SEGA). I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of being right. But I explained to the duo and to Jason that I can't go but so far with Jesus, because I already led many people to Goth Subculture (#theotherside).
In the days after, I was reminded that I'm being stalked by celebrities who claim gangs, as well as the aliens of SEGA. The female Christian who prayed for me was Lil Wayne and Lil Wayne is Tails. Jason plays innocent, but he's Knuckles and Knuckles is Common.
Apparently, it's all for promo.
No one loves music the way I do.
As far as the "healing", they basically did some sex magick and released some tension I had built up. I can't call it rape, but I feel a kind of a way about my fortitude being disposed of by "the best rappa alive, since the best rappa retiied!". But all is fair in love and war. Apparently Common/50 has issue with Lil Wayne/Jamie Foxx.
