Still working on #Slave. Don't wanna rush it, moving slower than usual. One reason could be because I THOROUGHLY enjoy this Mayfield joint. It's fresh off the #bicentennial, and it came at the end of an era. Lyrically, the focus is more on matters of the heart (*) than social issues. And he does it in a way which encompasses the two. This provides a foundation for a future bottom line.
Maybe even the revolution, as sang about by him and spat about by Gil-Scott.
I'm not sure what my goal is with this joint. I know that my (particular) speed with this is a form of rebellion to the afformentioned "slavery". But "pacing myself" is ANOTHER form of slavery: to the notion that I "rush" projects. Look. I go with the ((creative)) flow. If it all comes out in one setting, so mote it be. But I don't NEED to stretch the time to exhaust the rhyme.
I really let y'all in, pretty far behind, the proverbial curtain. I'm not surprised that many in my personal circle are not "enamored" in my critical acclaim. But I will remind you that, outside of StarChasers, I have yet to get a bad review. Critics know I'm no joke. I just don't play the game to be on their radar.
I got my own radar.
