A screeching halt.

I want to send a very special Rest In Peace shout out to Quincy Jones and Clark Kent. 
Modern Black Music was molded by each of your contributions. 

I want to imagine with y'all for a minute.

Imagine what DJ Clark Kent would do to this, my favorite Quincy Jones production.

Then, imagine what QJ would say on the mic, with a cigar in one hand and a glass of Courvoisier in the other.

The beauty of Imagination.

The reality of Fantasy.

Let your loved ones know you love them, y'all!!!!

Politics, on a j.

I grew up in a Democratic household.
Ohio is a swing state.

I identify with The Green Party.

I recommend you vote The Green Party, to make an ULTIMATE change.

You don't have to listen to me.

Just know that I know what I'm talking about, as well as MUCH MORE about politics.
...more than I will ever allude to.

Daughter eyes.

Someone brought to my attention that I can be RATHER crass when talking about sex/women. I am aware of my borderline misogynistic (sp.?) lyrics. And I do offer an apology to any women or individual woman who doesn't like it. However, I am combating the 99% of junk you get from the mainstream. So I provide A FORM of mainstream junk to feed one's appetite for such, and flush it out of you in the overall context of the song.

That being said, I can't really think of a time I was OUTRIGHT rude to a woman in person. I've heard that such a behavior is required to be a "rapper". I don't fuck with that. The way I see it, every woman is someone's daughter. Whether it's an absentee father or a hypersensitive (always there) mother. Your eyes tell the story of curiosity, only eased by an all-knowing parent. And maybe your parent doesn't know all. But they know what you need and what you need to know. 

So respect your parents, daughters of rapture. By the time you get to me, I have no expectations outside of a dope conversation. If it goes any farther than the convo, I AM expecting maturity. You DON'T have to become a lyric in a song. You DON'T have to be a muse. 

...geez, funny how time eroded at what we (myself and a future female StarChaser) can do. 

Still, it takes maturity to handle an affectionate relationship with me. You have to put up with women who have been in my life before you. Women of whom I have proclaimed that I would leave ANY woman I'm with for (*cough* Makeda *cough*). I've sacrificed relationships off the notion of certain women entering my life (*cough* Rihanna). Regardless, I may need to be in better tune with women to be more of the man MY daughter would love.

What I want to say isn't coming out the right way.

Whatever. Happy Birthday, Matthew Anderson!

Love your daughters, fathers and mothers.

They don't have to hate me IMMEDIATELY...

Capt. Captivating

I'm from the era RIGHT before social media hit. Which is like LATE AOL/AIM days. EARLY MySpace. I say this, because I've had my fun on the internet. Late night runs to "shawty" crib, wildin w/ your homies on a cute girl's page, droppin BRAND NEW music for your 200+ fans.... lol I was there, man. 

I guess I'm trying to figure out the value of dooinit NOWadays. The stakes are higher. People are willing to lie about and ON anyONE. The current dish on today's plate is a former DJ friend who, out of nowhere, called me evil and said I set her up. Now, I don't know what kind of game she's playing, but that kind of shit gets people arrested. Which is more evil than anything I've ever done to her.

But that's what leads me here. I have the contacts to everyone I NEED and WANT to talk to. Do I NEED to be on the socials? It's usually the same rhetoric, about the same people, all at (or around) the same time (during the day). My content (a Tweet here, a post on IG there, etc.) gets lost in the algorithm, and only a handful of devoted StrChsers can and will say anything about what I post. I'm not crying about it. I just know I can spend my time online doing better things than working social media.

As I've stated before, I plan to keep my blogs up (C., TTMH, CGi, Enter, Simone, etc,). In fact, I'll almost exclusively be working on them. I need to exercise my "pen", if you will. Still, I'll be putting more "effort" into the way I... speak.

Stay tuned!
