brother ali - writers block

sometimes i dont write a lot
i know some folks call it writers block
i just call it my process
comes out when its ready to i guess
i dont want to let nobody down so
heres some new shit you tell me how it sounds
i aint trying to be difficult or no shit
it just hurts too bad for me to force it

so much related to my life

good thing.

blueprint interview part one

im two listens into the new album and its definitely different. didnt expect hear print sing on some songs. the beats range from subtle to 80s dance-ish. nontheless i dig it. he said this was going to be a different type of show and it is. hes still one of the best with staying on subject throughout a song and well i recommend you listening to it. right now im really feeling the clouds, stole our yesterday, my culture, automatic and go hard or go home (printnificence).

my first listen to blueprints new album, adventures in counter culture, hails this excerpt from the song, the clouds:

i dont care about the after-party that you hosting

i dont care about the softwhite and who snorts it

i dont care about the fist fight and who caught it

cause at the end of the night, man its all gossip

fuck all the drama, im a real artist

i do this shit without any feedback or comments

ill diss anybody from the largest to the smallest

and they wont say shit because my album is the hardest

ill start in ‘88, then bring you up to date

then skip ten years ahead so you dont have to wait

im what the future sounds like and imma make you see it

im so ahead of the game that people think im cheating

but once you really see it, it aint all that hard

the rap games like vegas, im just countin cards

sittin at the table, bout to defy the odds

and i aint scared at all, because the world is yours

atmosphere - shes enough

from the upcoming album the family sign.

i dig the song but damn i miss that older vibe, circa the lucy ford eps/god loves ugly.
