So, to not belabor the point, I switched my style from writing streams of thought to Wax Poetry. What is Wax Poetry? According to Google, “Wax poetic” is an English phrase that is used to describe someone's overly flowery and longwinded style of speech. If one person waxes poetic on a subject they're spending too much time on it and using diction that's likely not suited to the situation.
But let's break in down.
In hip-hop, wax means "on record". Vinyls are made of wax (if they're not Sonic the Hedgehog himself; grrr...). Diss tracks were immediately pressed to vinyl after they were recorded, in an attempt to make money off the beef (lyrical war). When you "keep it on wax", you're making sure that the tough talk in a diss track isn't going to spill into the streets.
We all know what poetry is.
I now spit (and record) overly flowery and longwinded poems, aimed at particular subjects. I also add positive affirmations in my music, such as good health, wealth, happiness, etc., and manifest them through magic.
The key to it is the fact they are RECORDED. As it records, I KNOW the mic is picking up my premeditated (yet unwritten) thoughts. The live recording is WRITING the lyrics/sound in the computer. This is easier and best done on GarageBand. Once recorded, I add my LITERAL magic (the main spell I casted is called "Forget Me Nots"), mix it so EVERY WORD can be heard, and print it. The beat is already mixed.
I want to put y'all onto something. There is a genre of music called Hardcore. It's FAR from hip-hop, TOO hard to be pop, and too dangerous to be mainstream. One of the most famous Hardcore acts is named Scooter. Triggering. But they are GIFTED. Basically, they travel into songs (like me) and CHANGE THE ORIGINAL RECORD, COMPLETELY. Some of their tactics are despicable, but the outcome is WORSHIP READY. I think Carl Cox does it too (legendary UK DJ/producer). ANNA, another potential Hardcore producer, uses electricity in and of itself. A man's (ahem) job, but she does it and does it well.
The production of Hamilton, Charles is Hardcore. If you ever find the original sample, it's a wrap for you.
Jay-Z has a line where he says, "I mastered my aesthetics. I know you often heard me wax poetic 'Bout bein' back in the Lexus But trust me, that was nothing...". He's onto me.
I recommend all those with broken hearts and open Bibles to buy a Macbook, open GarageBand, put in a select Charles Hamilton instrumental (any era) and just GO.
Nothing more to say.
