18million views Posted by poolboyjames on June 16, 2010 at 12:47 AM comments (0)ok.. i hope no one takes this as me hating, but i want to express my opinion on an artist right now
eminem ok eminem has made some AMAZING albums infinite is in my top 10 list at any given moment slim shady lp was dope marshall mathers lp is pretty much an undisputed classic the eminem show was a lyrical onslaught all those albums were good however to me eminem is not good anymore like it seems like beat-wise each cd has gotten progressively worse.. and each one of the first 4 cds i just mentioned was tolerable, but after the eminem show, the decline in beat quality is no longer tolerable and beyond that.. the lyrical content seems to have fallen off drastically after the eminem show like his content was heartfelt on the first 4 cds but after that everything has just been like.. like a guy trying to make songs as opposed to a guy who is really expressing emotion through art i just saw that eminem has a new video out and so i went to youtube and looked at it.. ok i listened to like the first 30 seconds and the song is terrible the beat is terrible, the chorus is eminem singing.. i repeat, the chorus is eminem singing.. like everything is wrong with this song but it has over 18 million views right now i am thinking to myself.. WHO STILL LIKES EMINEM? WHO IS STILL BUYING HIS MUSIC? don't get me wrong nothing will ever take away from his first 4 albums but the stuff he does now is just silly, vulgar, and not audibly pleasing and another thing.. why does he keep rapping in different voices? i don't even know what that voice is but i always say he is trying to sound like an iraqi and i don't get it.. like its not good, its not funny like.. i don't see how a 30 yr old man with a child is rapping about murdering people in a stupid cartoon voice FOR ENTIRE SONGS!!!! i just feel kinda dismayed that people pay attention to garbage music but u have a great cat like sayyy P.O.S. for example who is an AMAZING rapper on all levels but if i go out and ask someone if they got the new P.O.S. they won't know who i'm talking about like it really gets under my skin.. like ARGHHHHH like seriously i don't get it BUT at the same time i know in music i am normally way ahead of the curve so i guess i will again have to wait for people to catch up to see the music for what it is its kinda like how people say europeans are ahead of the curve in fashion.. thats kinda how i am in music.. like i like things before they are cool and i stop liking things before they go out of style so, hey whatever

on my mind Posted by poolboyjames on June 16, 2010 at 9:11 PM comments (0)i'm a bit scattered today
kinda have a lot on my mind i get weary of the fact that when i tell people things that are very important to me they don't help me out sometimes like if i tell u a vulnerability don't laugh at me u know what i'm sayin? i just told someone about something i deal with and they laughed at me and i'm like dang can i get some support here? but its my world and i have to be the captain of the ship, the master of my domain sometimes i think no one understands me.. and i sometimes wish someone had the patience with me to WANT to understand me u kno what i'm sayin? (probably not) i've felt this way for a long time this is why i like to do music cuz i feel like i can let things out and almost force people to understand in a sense its like i'm searching for a validation i never get from real life.. like u know how some people have groups or they have a 'niche' or they are in a club or a crowd they fit into? well i don't i am always just james in everything i always feel like the odd man out even in the realm of music i don't fit cuz i am rapping but i'm not using curse words or disrespecting women or shooting people or bragging, or even trying to be cool.. i am just expressing myself as is its always been this way when i was little and my friends lived in the projects i lived in the suburbs on a dirt road when i got older i was the only black guy in my grade in college i never really fit cuz i don't spend my time at bars or smoking weed or whatever its like in order to ever feel at home in anything i have to create it myself, thus this website, thus my lyrics, thus my beats, thus everything i do but whatevz peaCe LOL Posted by poolboyjames on June 16, 2010 at 2:44 PM comments (0)so i was just readin an interview from lil b and the first answer to the first question cracked me UP
here's what it says: Complex: We had trouble getting in touch at first because you lost your phone. What happened? Lil B: You know we shooting videos heavily, getting it in. So I was out in the woods shooting a video and I seen these raccoons, and these raccoons was kind of surrounding me—they did not seem to be backing down—and I was like, “Damn.” I had my shit on top of my car, so I took a few things, but I forgot my phone was up there and just drove off. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ok i'm sorry that was just hilarious judgement Posted by poolboyjames on June 15, 2010 at 1:17 AM comments (0)i've always found this to be interesting..
here we have God speaking to Jerusalem (ezekiel 16:51-54) 51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done. 52 Your unrighteousness has furnished some justification for your sisters. Because your sins were more vile than theirs, they appear more righteous than you. So then, be ashamed and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous. 53 I will restore the fortunes of Samaria with your treasure, 54 so that you may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you have done in giving them comfort. ok i'm not sure if u guys see what i see.. long story short.. God is looking at sin from a relative viewpoint as opposed to a black and white all-or-nothing perspective in my opinion.. this is interesting to think about.. and also somewhat comforting today's discussion Posted by poolboyjames on June 15, 2010 at 10:09 AM comments (0)i saw this statement today on youtube:
"women are the choosers this is basic knowledge...she decides who will be the father of her children..she can either respect this or not, but the ball still remains in her court. Men are nothing but presentations..some good or some bad, but the bad ones make no difference if the women never chooses them" i found this to be a rather weighty statement.. i sat and thought about it a bit.. i think it rings pretty true here's something i can add to it tho: "bad men" a lot of times = fun for now "good men" normally = a solid future if ur a woman with no vision for ur future then u may pass up the solid future for the fun right now kinda like the twin brothers jacob and esau in the old testament: esau gave up his bright and successful future for a damn bowl of stew. if u rewind to when they were still in the womb here's what u see (genesis 25:23) 23 The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger." its like God tells her which child will be the successful one before she even has the kids which sounds a lot like deuteronomy 30:19 19 Today I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life again, u have the Lord telling u which choice will be the good choice before u even make it with all that said, women know what the good choice of man will be, but they simply prefer to choose the wrong ones.. women who choose wrong men are simply echoing the statements made in john 3:19-20 19 Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. btw i am not saying making the right decision is easy AT ALL, i am just speaking on everything that went through my head when i read that statement on youtube.. what i just wrote is a discussion about factors dealing with cause and effect; not an opinion its rather simple Posted by poolboyjames on June 14, 2010 at 11:31 AM comments (0)"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
james 1:27 korn comeback Posted by poolboyjames on June 14, 2010 at 11:48 AM comments (0)i haven't been following korn for a while but their new cd is slated for a july release
what i just found on wikipedia actually got me kinda excited: Korn III – Remember Who You Are is the upcoming ninth studio album by American metal band Korn. The band hired Ross Robinson, who produced their first two albums to again act as producer, and drummer Ray Luzier to act as permanent drummer. The album is being recorded as a four-piece band, using no Pro Tools or editing, unlike Korn's more recent albums. Vocalist Jonathan Davis says the album will be "simple" in that it won't be as multi-layered as Korn's recent albums, but "it's about the vibe". During the recording process the band referred to the album as Korn III - a reference to the bands early material. Davis explained that meaning of the albums title with: "It comes down to one question: 'Who the fuck am I?' It's about remembering where we came from. The title sums up everything I'm talking about lyrically. "You can lose focus of why you wanted to start playing music in the beginning because you can get caught up in the money and the fame and the traveling. It’s kind of like, ‘OK, let’s hit the reset button." The artwork for the album was taken in Oildale, California and is an extension of the artwork from the bands self-titled album. i really like that they're trying to strip everything away and take it back to their roots.. i am really curious about what the end result will be like i also love the album cover! a moment Posted by poolboyjames on June 13, 2010 at 12:02 PM comments (0)this is one of my fave Bible verses since i've been going to the park this summer:
"18For God's [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative. 19For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God [Himself] has shown it to them. 20For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification],(A) 21Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and [a]godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves]." romans 1:18-22 ^^i took this at the park "God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made" visual Posted by poolboyjames on June 13, 2010 at 2:48 PM comments (0)
- took this pic a few days ago - my current issues Posted by poolboyjames on June 15, 2010 at 8:51 PM comments (0)for anyone who doesn't know this.. i am staying at my parents house for the summer to work on music because its a better environment (for music) than being at my apartment
however it is sometimes amazing how much my parents can irk me for example: the two foods i hate the most on earth are hot-dogs and watermelon i hate the smell of them, i hate everything about them.. they are disgusting and slimey products however my parents are always eating watermelon and hot-dogs its like i can't escape it, and sometimes i think they never have anything positive to say about anything or anyone when i get frustrated, i try to just chalk it up to a sacrifice i have to make if i want to be able to make music in a decent environment (meaning i can make a lot of noise at least 5 days a wk while they are gone) but sometimes it gets difficult i guess i will try to just be gone when they are here from now on so i can stay sane the other day i walked in the house and my dad was sitting in the dark by the door not making any sound.. i look over and he's there and i wanted to say why r u sittin in the dark by the door? but what good would that have done? he always does random weird things like that if my mom sees u for 5 seconds she will try to make u do something.. *i walk into the kitchen to throw something away* *my mom sees me and goes through a mental rolodex of tasks i should be doing* she tells me to put something together, or help her with her iphone, or look up something on the internet, or vaccuum, or.. how about the other day she said "can u open my email account?" i'm like what do u mean? its your email account how can i openyour account? its YOUR account! she's like "just open it james" ...i'm like "!!!" or the other day she handed me 2 normal quarters and said "look these up and tell me how much they are worth" i was like what do u mean? first of all they are normal quarters! this is 50cents.. second of all if these even WERE worth something else.. how would i know how/where to find that kind of information? and the thing is.. when i resist her whims she chalks it up to me being ridiculous.. for example the other day i didn't feel like doing another chore so instead of being like "ok u can just do it later" she told me i'm "a spoiled little brat" can u guys believe this? overall i'm just going to try and withstand the pressure because my ultimate goal is to make a full album in relative peace before school starts i can't allow anything to stop me from reaching that goal i just have to be wiser and not be home when they're here so if u r reading this please pray for ya boy LOL peaCe |
