Nothing new to report. God is still real, God is still good, God is still on my side... despite who I am and THINK I am. I plan to go live more often, but I'm working on a few passion projects that I don't want to tip anyone off to. I AM SURE that everyone will enjoy it, even with the notion that everyone can't be pleased by the same thing.
This is something that StarChasers have been asking for, going on 16 years.
Alas, 16.
Stay tuned, y'all.

I have a notorious history of talking about my random escapades with women. My thing was, I was actually doing what you hear rappers talking about, in monogamous relationships with beautiful women from any of the 5 boroughs. And because the premise was it was between me and them, they didn’t really mind.
A few things came to mind to stop that type of thinking.
One of which is named Tomorrow.
I can see niggas like YoungBoy licking their chops at the thought of me having a daughter. I spoiled her from the sack… which means someone or something can come from behind with the sneak attack! lol spoken like a true crackhead, I know.
The other reason, just as valid… I can’t be wasting my seed like that. I need to be able to recall my memories, as that’s where my musicianship is stored. Your right ball is where your memory/identity is stored. Your left ball ain’t going anywhere, but you really can’t get nowhere with it. I guess out of depression I started bussin out my rightey. Shit, I almost lost it doing something gay (the consequence of such).
God provided me an escape and forgave me, so I can never betray He. He’s working with me, as far as being Goth. If I could bring you to the light, THROUGH THE DARKNESS, mission complete.
“Fuck with your boy. (Yeah!)” (Juelz)

I need to get back into my cocky bag. I think people forgot that, I don't get acclaim NOT because the music sucks, but because I ALREADY KNOW IT. And THEY, the critics, know it too. But yo. Drugs, alcohol, women, the streets... they all got to me. I didn't know who to trust or how to trust. I just know that I saw some Disclosure Day level shit in the last 15 or so years that led me to needing to react, right then and there.
I wish I had known that I don't need to go knuckle-for-knuckle with ANYONE for the clout (if you will) I am looking for. I want to be a Gothic combination of Rick Astley and ?uestlove. That white, that soulful, laying low after a few hits.
While Chris Rivera was here, I did a mix of ALL eras of my music. In one of the songs, I dead ass said "I am kinda wack to me...". I meant it in an #iykyk kind of way, actually WAITING for ANYONE to call me out on it. Maybe it was the weed, but the line hit me wrong. Rivera, StarChasers, I'm not wack. And that wack that I am, I am, to protect you from.
Can you dig it?
Holla at ya Most Wanted List member!

Charles and I just had an elatious 2.5 weeks together.
A friend of mine flew him to Chicago, and he spent a week out here watching movies (his favorite is Backrooms), eating pizza, BBQ, and Chinese, playing Sonic Frontiers and WWE 2K26, and of course, making some beats.
Then he and I flew back to Cali for a little 10-day vacation where we smoked about a half pound of Cali's finest, ate at 3 different burger joints, went to Hollywood, I got him to peddle me on a swan boat, he went to church, and we ended the extended week with a trip to the strip club!! We turnt up for sure. I’ll include pictures.
(as included on the blog:)
Now with all that being said, Charles really, really wants to go to his high school reunion come December and we may need a little help funding it. Tickets there and back are about $500, and you know we don’t want him going there broke, so I’m starting the GoFundMe at $1000. If it kicks off, I may raise it to about $1500 just so he has a little more. But he’s super excited. So let’s make this happen for him!!
2 other updates:
1: I’ve talked him down, and rumors have it, he is going to be picking the pen up again soon and getting back to the times of songs being on that upper echelon that he spoiled us with before he decided to school us without the pen.
2: He went to church again yesterday, and before I left, the pastor came to his house and told me if Charles shows up Saturday for choir practice, Charles can play for the church Sunday!! So let’s encourage him to do the right thing and get him on track. The pastor said they’re looking for a new minister of music and would love to build the church with Charles. Even offered him the church to host an OPEN MIC NIGHT on Saturdays to get his music out and teach the youth…
Anyway, y'all see the progress and the happiness. Charles is making strides out here and it’d be awesome of us to help him get to his FDA reunion this December. With that being said, thank you all for your time and once again, thank you, Charles, for everything.

Rhetoric is the art of persuasion. It is one of the three ancient arts of discourse (trivium) of classical antiquity, along with grammar and logic/dialectic. As an academic discipline within the humanities, rhetoric aims to study the techniques that speakers or writers use to inform, persuade, and motivate their audiences.sa Rhetoric also provides heuristics for understanding, discovering, and developing arguments for particular situations.
Aristotle defined rhetoric as "the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion", and since mastery of the art was necessary for victory in a case at law, for passage of proposals in the assembly, or for fame as a speaker in civic ceremonies, he called it "a combination of the science of logic and of the ethical branch of politics". Aristotle also identified three persuasive audience appeals: logos, pathos, and ethos. The five canons of rhetoric, or phases of developing a persuasive speech, were first codified in classical Rome: invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery.
From Ancient Greece to the late 19th century, rhetoric played a central role in Western education and Islamic education in training orators, lawyers, counsellors, historians, statesmen, and poets.

In rhetoric, antanaclasis (/æntəˈnækləsɪs, ˌæntænəˈklæsɪs/; from the Greek: ἀντανάκλασις, antanáklasis, meaning "reflection", from ἀντί anti, "against", ἀνά ana, "up" and κλάσις klásis "breaking") is the literary trope in which a single word or phrase is repeated, but in two different senses. Antanaclasis is a common type of pun, and like other kinds of pun, it is often found in slogans.

Could the technique of Tha G Code (exhausting a word or phrase) be seen as *merely* rhetoric? I been using it since around 2015 (got put on by Lupe; peace!), and DOVE INTO IT around 2018. That rage carried into living with *drKiwi*, and likely is why I attacked *drKiwi*.
I'd hate to be wrong about the most fun I've had in my entire life creatively. Rivera is INSISTING that I go back to writing. There are more generations that need theme songs for their everyday life. It appears he's tired of listening to CH fight music and wants music to *step* to. I WANT to give him what he wants. I just want to do it WHEN I WANT TO. A lot is lined up (future wise), and I can't just cater to him all day. That said, Chris Rivera is awesome.
