Words From The Porcelain God: July 2009

SO CALLED HIP HOP NEWS SITES....FEATURED IN LAST MONTHS REAL DEAL PRESS!

AIGHT BACK AGAIN FOR ANOTHER EDITION OF WORDS FROM THE PORCELAIN GOD! IT SEEMS MY LAST EDITION WAS A JAW DROPPER AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PICTURE OF ME DROPPING A DEUCE. SO AS I'M BUMPING ROYCE DA 5'9'S JOINT "PART OF ME" I STARTED THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE POINTLESS AND DUMB VIDEOS CELEBRITIES POST UP ON THESE WEBSITES THAT CONSIDER THESE POINTLESS VIDEOS OF STUPIDITY AS NEWS OR INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC. I MEAN IN ALL SERIOUSNESS WHY IS THERE SUCH A BIG MARKET TO WATCH CELEBRITIES DO STUPID SHYT OR DAMN NEAR NOTHING AT ALL? IS IT REALLY NEWS WHEN JOE BUDDEN'S GIRL BUYS A NEW TRAMPOLINE? IS IT NEWS WHEN N.O.R.E GETS A HAIRCUT IN GERMANY? FUCK IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE IN AMERICA AND ONE IN GERMANY? CHRIST SAKES ITS A FUCKING HAIRCUT! MIND YOU I CONSIDER MYSELF A FAN OF BOTH ARTIST MENTIONED BUT HAS OUR STANDARDS FOR ENTERTAINMENT HIT AN ULTIMATE LOW SINCE THE RECESSION OR IS IT THE BOOMING MARKET FOR REALITY TV? IS IT THE LACK OF SALES AND RECORD LABEL FUNDING THAT THESE ARTIST HAVE TO BASICALLY MARKET THERE LIVES FOR A QUICK BUCK? I MEAN SURE IF 50 RUNS AROUND THE OFFICE IN A WIG I'M SURE IT'D BE FUNNY TO ME AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE BUT WHY DOES IT GRANT MILLIONS OF VIEWS TO SUCH ARTIST(S)? THESE WEBSITES LIKE WORLDSTARHIPHOP.COM NEED TO STOP REPORTING THIS SHIT AS NEWS PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IF FAN GOES TO THIS PERSONS BLOGSITE OR MESSAGE BOARD THEN THATS COOL, BUT A NIGGA LIKE ME WHO FREQUENTS HIP HOP NEWS SITES ON A DAILY BASIS HOW CAN I GO ABOUT LISTENING,REVIEWING, AND READ INTERESTING SHIT WITHOUT HAVING TO TRIM 90% OF THE FAT? IN ALL HONESTLY THERE IS JUST WAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION PAID TO SUCH STUPIDITY AND IS DUMBING DOWN OUR YOUTH AND THE ADULTS THAT DO TUNE IN ASWELL. CALL ME A HATER OR WHATEVER POPULAR TERM YOU CHOOSE BUT DO I REALLY NEED TO SEE 5 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE BEHIND THE SCENES OF EVERY NEW MUSIC VIDEO? WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE SPECIAL EDITION DVD'S THAT USE TO BE PACKAGED WITH THE RETAIL VERSION OF ALBUMS? MOST OF THE TIME ITS MOTHERFUCKERS STANDING AROUND THE SET DOING A WHOLE BUNCH OF NOTHING. I DONT NEED TO SEE THE BEHIND THE SCENES OF YOU RECORDING A NEW SONG, THE FUCK HAPPENED TO SOUPING UP FANS FOR YOUR NEXT RELEASE? IT KILLS THE PROCESS OF HAVING TO SEARCH AND OR BUY THE NEW MUSIC WHEN ITS RELEASED. AS A FAN I WOULD RATHER SEE LESS MATERIAL IF THERE ACTUALLY IS A HIGHER STANDARD OF ENTERTAINMENT BEING PRESENTED WHEN YOU DECIDE TO DROP SOMETHING. MAYBE THE REASON WHY ALBUMS AREN'T SELLING IS DUE TO THE FACT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN AND OR HEARD EVERYTHING, OR MAYBE THERE JUST TIRED OF SEEING YOUR FACE? HMM I BELIEVE OVERSATURATION AT THIS POINT WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. MOST ARTIST DON'T RELIZE THIS TYPE OF SATURATION/CONNECTION TO YOUR FANS IS DETRIMENTAL. WHEN THE PEOPLE YOU CALL FANS TEND TO FEEL LIKE THEY KNOW YOU IN A PERSONAL SENSE YOU START BLURRING THE LINE BETWEEN ARTIST AND FAN! BEFORE YOUTUBE AND THE REST OF THESE VIDEO SITES CAME ABOUT, YOU USED TO HAVE TO GO TO SHOWS TO FEEL THE CONNECTION WITH THE ARTIST THEY LISTEN TO. IT WAS AN OPPRITUNITY TO NOT ONLY VIBE WITH SAID ARTIST BUT ALSO BE CLOSE BY(NO HOMO LOL). NOW WITH EVERY ARTIST UPLOADING EVERY SHOW PERFORMANCE AND CONCERT FOOTAGE IT MAKES ME THE FAN NOT EVEN WANT TO GO SEE SAID ARTIST PERFORM BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN GET THE REPLAY ON YOUTUBE AND NOT FEEL LIKE I MISSED A THING! YES IN ALL REALITY CELEBRITIES ARE ALL LIKE US THEY EAT,SLEEP,SHIT,FUCK,BREATH,AND DRINK, I DON'T NEED TO KNOW EVERY POINT OF YOUR DAY NOR DO I CARE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING DAY! ITS NOT FASCINATING NOR ENTERTAINING! AS A MATTER A FACT IT MAKES ME LESS INTERESTED IN STEALING YOUR ALBUM FROM THE INTERNET!!!

P.S

MOST OF YOU PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ARTIST DO GET PAID OFF YOUTUBE HITS!!!

ROCK STEADY FOR LIFE..... OR REALLY?

For this blog entry, Miss Asia will be taking over "Words from the Porcelain God". Well this past Sunday, I got to "enjoy" my first Rocksteady Anniversary hosted by the E.O.W. I got to see some very familiar faces including the lovely L.Boogs and Omar from Black Flag Shoppe as well as Sheena She from Chainsaws & Jelly. Oh, and of course, the whole Gritty family was there as well. Unfortunately, not only did it get rained on and shut down 2 hours early, some of the lackluster performances made me wonder if I got to experience the true essence of the Rocksteady Anniversary. The tornado warning surrounding the Newark area did not stop the true Hip-Hop lovers from screaming in the rain, "HELL NO, WE WONT GO!". But let me not stew upon the negatives. I did get to see some Hip-Hop legends, including Jeru da damaja, Peebly Pooh, Roxanne Shantae, Sean Price, and Cormega. We also had the pleasure of seeing Newarks own Spazzout Boys, Dujeous, and Vice Verses & Big Zoo from the EOW. Also, Newark's mayor Cory Booker stopped by to show support to the event. And of course, Crazy Legs and the rest of the Rocksteady Crew was in full force. To be perfectly honest, Cormega's set was very disappointing. His dj did not have any of his music set up and overall killed the vibe of Rocksteady. Hopefully, next year's will make up for this year's mishaps. Of course, here are some photos from Rocksteady.

Interview W/ Isabelle Esling of TheEminemBlog.Com

1. What motivated you to get started in the rap game?

First off I'd like to thank you for this opportunity, well my motivation at first was just to have fun it started off as a hobby then it jus became a 24/7 thing you know writing, keeping the pen and pad everywhere I went, then from there it went to booking studio sessions every other week, from there it basically became a profession of sorts. My passion and love really kept me motivated to do it now.

2. How did you choose your nickname?

I have 2 meanings for my name, one I say its a metaphor for being blessed, Blessed to be in the position I'm in now, blessed to be doing what I love, blessed to be around the people I'm involved with in this industry, blessed to have not taken the wrong road as some of my friends from the old days. It's also an acronym, it stands for "Courageous Rapper Using Sentences As Fact Involving Xperience".

3. Define your music within a few words…

If I can define my music in a few words, the words I'd choose would definitly be Personal,Different,Unique, and Lyrical. Personal because everything I spit,every word, the way I say my words all comes from the heart and draws inspiration from something that has happened in my life. Different because nobody raps the way I do, you can't say I sound like anybody else doing it, I have a different flow, different way of writing, different way of picking and choosing my topics aswell as instrumentals to rap on. Unique well that kind of falls into the same catergory as different, I jus try to be the total opposite of everybody and everything that people call Hip Hop today. Lyrical because every line every word packs a punch, I'm a lyricist all I do is lyrics lyrics lyrics lyrics all day.

4. According to you, what makes you appear as unique in the world of hip hop?

Like I stated before everything about me is unique nobody can say I sound like any other rapper thats out.Everything from my flow to lyrics the way I deliver my lyrics is way different. Plus the subjects I choose to speak about most rappers hide from all that and are afraid to speak on the topics I choose to speak of. I also feel that if nobody can relate to what I'm speaking of then the battle is sort of lost, I try to relate to the common people of today by speaking of issues that deals with each one of us as people in one aspect of our lives.

5. What is the biggest challenge you had to face since you started rapping?

Patience. I'm incredibly impatient, I have a hard time waiting for things. I usually jump the gun at times, my dude Paulie Hussle always tells me "I'm too eager". So that really would be the biggest challenge I have to face.

6. Which artists have you collaborated with already?

The artist I've collaborated with already would be Hauztile(from Cali),G-Kid(From Perth Amboy, NJ) The Leegans(Bronx,NY),Minus P(Washington Heights,NY),Paulie Hussle(Union City,NJ),Alphabetical(Jersey City,NJ),Sincere(Kearny,NJ),Oddateee(Union City,NJ),Menace(Kearny,NJ),Bless(Florida),A-Murda(Florida),White Haze(Harrison,NJ),DJ Rick(Detroit),Timothy Jones,Jabril Aka Hookmaster(whose affiliated with Terror Squad's Kill All Rats camp),Jukstapose, J-Bux, and many artist from the Hudson County area.

7. What is your opinion about the current state of hip hop?

Well I'm not going to say the popular answer of Hip Hop being dead. But Hip Hop to me is dead as the original state of the art. There's a few artist that are still keeping it alive, but like my dude Archrival said to me once "I'm still bumping shit from the early 90's like it just came out yesterday, and the artist I listen to on the Undergorund are still doing there thing so I listen to whats on the merchandise table so Hip Hop is still alive to me."

8. Which hip hop artist (underground or mainstream) has earned your full respect and why?

My first answer would be Jay-z because of his versatility to stay in the game and still doing his thing after so long, I also respect his business Hustle. I respect Nas aswell because if it wasn't for "It Was Written" I wouldn't have ever wanted to pick up a pen in the first place. I also respect Big Pun because of his versatility aswell he still did to what some would consider commercial music but still killed it lyrically on every track and feature he hopped on. As far as on the Underground I respect my dude Paulie Hussle because of his business sense aswell as his music sense, plus he took me from recording in my house to a studio to work on my album so that I will forever respect him. Oddateee because in his own right he's a legend, he's performed in many states and countries that I'd love to tour and smoke weed at one day.

9. Who or what is your biggest source of inspiration?

My biggest source of inspiration is life. Like I said I usually draw from a certain point and time in my life and speak about in the best of my ability. I want to change the wrongs in my life and hopefully turn them into rights one day.

10. Old School or New School…where goes your preference?

I prefer both actually. People need to relize not all Old School is good and not all New School is bad.

11.Besides hip hop, what kind of music do you listen to?

This is a really good question, you can find me listening to alot of things like rock,reggae,spanish music.
I listen to all sorts of shit one day you can catch me bumpin Nas's Illmatic and the next bumpin some Coldplay. Just the other day I got put onto The Beatles and Pink Floyd which I must further investigate there godliness. In other words you can say I'm ecletic when it comes to music. As long as it sounds good and bumps I'll fuck with it.

12. Do you have any upcoming projects for 2009? If so, could you give us more insight about them?

Well of couse I'm currently working on my new project "The New Testament"'you can catch me on Paulie Hussle's album "The Chamber Of Secrets", You can also hear me on many of Jukstapose's upcoming releases, also I'm on the Gritty Records Mixtape Hail To The Streets definitly get that whenever you can also my first project "Jersey Bible" is still available, Aswell as many other projects that will involve the Gritty Records team and its affiliates.

13. Which artist(s) (underground or mainstream) you haven't collaborated with yet- would you envision a collaboration with in a close future? Why?

Well as far as the Underground I can't see myself on tracks with anybody except the people I mentioned above because I'm more of a in the moment kind of dude, if we're in the studio at the same time and a tracks playing and we agree to that certain track then we'll get to business. As far as mainstream I'd love to do a song with N.O.R.E because that dude is nasty and he's a funny ass dude so I can definitly get down with that because I'm a wild dude when the record button is off. Jay-z because…well he's Jay-z. Joe Budden because we're both from New Jersey and I feel our styles would complement each other very well. Eminem because he's crazy lyrical when he isn't on commercial mode that would definitly set hip hop on fire. I'd also like to do a track with Amy Winehouse because shorty can sing and her music is crack so I can definitly fuck with that. Since this is the last question I'd like to get in my shout outs, Shout out to my peoples Paulie Hussle,White Haze,Alphabetical, and everybody else that is down with Gritty Records. Also if any unsigned artist wants to get his music played on radio add Real Deal Radio to your myspace and put us anywhere on your top, YOUR MUSIC WILL BE PLAYED. www.myspace.com/RealDealRadio201.

Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys has been diagnosed with Cancer

In a video announcement that was released earlier today (June 20), the Beastie Boys’ Adam "MCA" Yauch revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer.

Yauch explained that a cancerous tumor was found in his left salivary gland last week and that immediate surgery is required.

"I'm actually going to have to have surgery probably next week, coming up, and then after that have to have some radiation done," said Yauch in the video. "But the good news is that they did scans of my whole body and it's only localized in this one area, and it's not in a place that affects my voice…this is something that's very treatable."

Due to these unfortunate circumstances the Beastie Boys [click to listen] will be canceling their shows this summer. And the Beastie Boys’ eighth album Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 will be pushed back from its original September 15 release date.

"I apologize to everybody, for anyone who's made plans or was psyched to come to these shows that are coming up," Yauch added. "We'll be back doing this soon

KEEPING YOU INFORMED!
