Not to be all into my personals on the net and shit but...

Guess I knew but never thought cuz shit's never even faded me before so this one is baffling me and i just can't call it but, dah well... It's like that...

But yuh.... Man this one chick has str8 up drained all my damn creative energy to a damn half a spoonful. For the last few months ya boy has been like a damn zombie when it comes to the music. Just going through the motions and hitting a pad cuz it's supposed to be hit. Note sounds right then it's gonna be the right one type shit.... But I'm not even whooped up on this chick on some passing up the lab to snuggle type shit. Never that... Just when I get up to the lab i'm just like "Where the fuck is my black???" sitting on the couch for some hours just staring at the MPC... Now i'm thinking on beats but where the fuck they at? Shits crazy.... :confused:

Funny thing is the beats that I have done still drop the same, move the same, sound just like my steez, have even shown some growth, but it's like they're just not mines. Like some clones or some shit. LOL... I use to knock off a few in one night then bounce around the lab looking for that first hook idea that would sew it up. But now i'm just getting the basics locked in on a joint and flat out loose focus like a bad boy. Over on the couch half sleep and half wanting to kick my own ass...

I can't even call it but i'm just having fun with the shit and joting down some pretty crazy versus and hooks some how related to the topic. Most of em you'd never even know it though... So my creativity isn't dead but maybe altered. Too damn altered if ya ask me though... I'm knowing I just don't have time to be wasting with it all.

One good thing about this is when I do get back right... This lil slump thing had me bangin some really sick older R&B, Soul, Funk cuts that have given me a whole new way of looking at tracks.

SPEAK ON THAT!!! :D

No advice though... Cuz if somebody said choke her out so you can get back right i'ma be like. Hmmmm...... LOL... I'm kidding....

i'm LIVING this right now. i've moved from producing about 5 beats a week to 1 or none. when i do make one i sorta force myself to do so, and whatever I write just doesn't sound like it's good anymore. but i've written pretty good trance music, out of nowhere. find me why. chicks really CAN fuck you up, i hate to admit it.
 
Seems like she's your anti muse. . .

Find somebody exactly the opposite (but still female) and put them in the same room.

If the universe starts to implode, then you've found your anti-anti muse. Ditch the first one, and get ta bangin'! (uh, the MPC).

I guess the question is, how much are you feelin' the R&B tracks?

:cool:
 
...

man i was seeing this one chick for about 7 months we just broke up a month ago. My producing took a hurting in that time, because i was always with her. It always seems to be that way, its hard to focus on two things you love at once woman and beats. Both take all your time and some times its hard to choose which one will suffer a bit

Lazi,

nothing wrong with your perspective on music changing, I think. When that happens to me, I don't try to fight it, I just ride it out and see what comes out when I hit "record." I'm often surprised, but never really disappointed, with the results. That being said, I've written & recorded more stuff for people I care about (my woman, my kids, some friends) than I've written just for me in my music-writing life.

Can't say I've ever been in a situation where I spent so much time/energy with a shorty that it negatively affected my time spent making music, but I have certainly LOST a broad or two because she thought I should spend every waking moment with her "instead of fucking around with those damn turntables like a little kid." Needless to say, after one (or two) more nappy d sessions, I was showing both of them the door as fast as I could. No room in my life for control freaks, whiners, passive-aggressives, emotional sponges, or motherfuckers on that ol' silly shit. I could never figure why a chick who dug me as I was when we met suddenly thought that after we clicked up I should be on some presto-change-o type shit. I'm all for spending time & all that shit, but if the bitch wants a one dimensional, singular vision (focused on her) kinda cat, she's gotta search other pastures besides mine.

Did have a shorty who smashed up my Korg M1 about 10 years ago. If my cousin hadn't tackled me from behind I woulda choked the shit outta her. She drop-kicked my 909, too. Needless to say, she became immediate history, and I loved every second of her moving her shit out of my loft & crying about having nowhere to go. Oh yeah, and I dumped my fiancee last May because she flipped the script on me after 4 years of being all in. Suddenly, she don't want me travelling to do gigs unless I come home that night right after the gig even though planes don't generally fly when clubs close at 2,3, or 4am, and I damn sure wasn't trying to drive after playing for several hours, especially considering I always had at least a 4-6 hour drive back to the crib (way the fuck up in the NC mountains). I only worked a couple of weekends a month except during spring breaks, homecomings, back-to-schools, and the few special events I get booked for. She didn't even wanna goto gigs with me overseas. Why she wouldn't jump at a free vacation (read: SHOPPING SPREE) for a week for me to log in about 16-20 total hours of work, I dunno. She swore she wouldn't move to another city (with me, due to loving her job, family, & all that), but less than 3 months after I bolted, she got a gig 1 fucking state away from me & started inviting mutual friends to visit her & go clubbing everywhere between her new A.O. and mine. She even tried to import a cohort to bring to a big outdoor event I did this past fall. Go figure. Broke my heart to cut her loose, and I had to move 5 states away just to "breathe," but I did it. She blew my email inbox all to hell, thank God I had the foresight to not give her my new numbers.

As for muses, seems I've been cursed with having to kowtow to mine regardless of who I've been linked up with. Sure, the chickens can affect my emotional state, but they never really affect my creativity, only the color of the music or mixes I do (and even then, I gets the job done). I mean, I'm no dick with the females and I'm all about keeping the home fires burning & shit, but the mistress IS the mistress, and the wife IS the wife.

[BEGIN RANT]
To me, loving a broad & loving to make a life with her is more about being able to enjoy each other WITHOUT all the bullshit that makes fools act like fools on valentine's day & shit like that. Better to show love & be cool 365 instead of being an L7 and fronting like bullshit "holidays" and shit really matter. She's got a right to expect "the preferential" all day, everyday, and so do I. If she likes flowers, i'll hit her off at random, but not when roses and shit triple or quadruple in price for some corny-assed, strictly commercial, meaningless day.
[END RANT]

My shorty can get me far more amped cutting eyes at me while I got the headphones on, or while I'm at the keyboard, than she can all fucking hugged up underneath me 24-7 and shit.

the inspiration one can get when sitting at the keyboard or beat machine when it's at the foot of the bed that's framing the honey you bone is really all it's cracked up to be. Just make sure you got some lil powered speakers handy when you want her to "hear" just exactly how she inspires you.
Now, if only I can convince her the camcorder is there for "inspiration," too...

Gimme space & it's (I'm) all yours (her's), try to take it away and she might as well cash in her chips and try another casino.

A man's gotta have boundaries & limits, ya know?

What the hell was this thread about, anyway?!?!?

Been trying to get back at this one a minute....

DJ17- It's that voodoo they do to well.... I can do a sick twisted beat that'll have headz doing that side to side "what the hell" puppy dog thing with ease. I can even do a track that's hella commercial and everybody likes. But when it comes to being "creative".... Sad to even say....

Mallcore- I'm reading that post like "Hmmm....". Cuz this one chick pops up on the scene and she's leaning toward being a anti anti muse. Hmmm....


No room in my life for control freaks, whiners, passive-aggressives, emotional sponges, or motherfuckers on that ol' silly shit.
Click to expand...

Yuh DOLO... I was knowing you had something on this topic. Thought you was gonna leave us hanging with that first post. It's truth though.... But damn... A chick tearing up the equipment is some seriuosly sick shit. I guess some chicks go str8 for the balls. It's a damn shame that that's always the kinda girls I go str8 for. Sucker for a pretty face and another thorn in my side I guess. On the real though... I'm knowing that that's what I got on my hands right now. Thinking (knowing) it's part of the reason I'm so stuck on stupid. This situation is on some real good fuckery that I really don't want or need to even be fucking with. But i'm a knuckle head who finds it hard to give a flat damn even when knowing the situation will turn sour by grand design. Dah well....

But yuh... Can't lie... I'm still zombied the fuck up. Somebody give me a dope drum kit , wack one, or something??? :D

Come wit it.....
 
Yo Lazi,

I'm writing you a 'scrip for an el dolo cd, sure to kill the blues (and prolly piss of your shorty if she hears it AND is able to connect the dots).

Delivery by usps, be sure to check for it towards the end of next week. Opening track = "How To Break Up With Your Girlfriend" the dirt road turntable remix, of course... - Jean Grae never sounded as good as she will by this coming Monday.

I needed something non-work related to fuck with this weekend, anyway. Besides, the sun is shining so I may as well blow the dust offa some crates & dig up some jewels for ya...

Oh yeah, the bitch who smashed my shit up proceeded to lie to 5-0 & tell 'em I was beating her ass, I lived 2 states away at the time & we had been split for at least 7 mos, but the local sheriffs in Charlotte still tried to serve me up & shackle me down - unfortunately for them, they got straight juked & I was 3 weeks later in Salzburg. Man, if I put my hands on that trick out of anger, she'd have been dead or in a permanent vegetative state.

Fuck them biotches...
I gotta tell ya about the 4 mos. of birth control pills I FOUND under the mattress when I was spring cleaning - I shoulda killed the bitch then...

The sooner you take 1 step away from that broad, the faster you'll be back on your A-game. Funny how no matter how sad it may be to "release" a broad you're feeling, it STILL feels better to be on the road to recovery. If I could cut my fiancee off (sad, sad day in Camp Dolo), then I'm sure you can free this chick and free yourself, too. My dollar bet is on you, chief. Do me a favor and give my bookie a reason to hide from me instead of the other way around.

Find the cancer, and cut it out...

I'ma put one in the air for you RIGHT NOW, so let the church say "amen."

Amen brotha DOLO.....

Yo DOLO that last post got me back a nice chunk of brain or something.

Nah... Didn't put the 13's to that ass but please believe something had to give.

But yeah... I got back in the lab one night and it's like my ears where wide open. Couldn't even hit a bad note but that shit didn't make it the right one.... Damn I love that shit....

Like I said though... Didn't give her the boot so I'm still a little sleepy from the vemon. That mix might can keep on my feet until I detox. So preciate ya....
 
it's not quite the same for me cos i'm no DJ and i don't do your music but i've been with a girl two years now and my music's shitty cos i'm too happy to write anything good! the only good stuff i did was when she went abroad for 4months and i was writing stuff on prozac! figure that!!
 
Feel lucky about it

I feel ya I feel ya, like I say in the subject FEEL LUCKY ABOUT IT man. Thats just another idea to spit on a track. I guess Im kinda blessed cause my wifey for 4 years been there to support me thru this rough shit. But it wasnt always like that, at first she seen that I was serious about this rap game but it didnt really hit her untill I started doing shows, and bringing other females in my studio for some back up vocals. Thats when she got scared and started bitchin and shit. talk about "when you get rich, youre gonna leave me". Now picture living with that mess. Now 2004 wifeys going out buying me studio shit (the wrong shit but you know its the thought that counts). What im saying is, she came around. Youll find that better half someday man. By the way, whats your rap or hiphop style? (sick like brotha lynch, pain like dmx, thuggish like x-raided etc.....)
 
the only time i even get with a chick is when I'm laying off music .... women in general are an anti-muse for me....that is unless she can make beats, sing or play an instrument i can use.....then i think I'd love her forever..until i caught her cheatin
 
Damn chick broke my heart.... Shit kinda fucks me up but i'm laughing about it still. Only a crazy lil bitch like that could've done it so i can appreciate the plot. Some crazy shit happening but in the end i'ma miss that chick...

Dah well... Now I gotta kick this damn black n mild habit and finish this dudes cd before he swings on me. Lol....

yup....
 
Imagine how much money you'd save without the black-n-milds
 
Nice to see you here Lazi,

Well all i gotta say is i know what you mean...i just moved to Maryland now i have to find time and energy to try and make a beat but its hard cause now i have more free time to spend with the wifey..and i have simple drum lines that i want to put down but i dont get around to it cause i usely out the house when i get them..then when i do get home and break out the lab i cant remeber the tune i had..but i enjoy spending time with the wifey, i guess i need to find some time to work on something new for anybody..now i gotta find new artist to work with since the one i was workin with are about to be spend all ove the world...so know i have to get the groove bad..well i think im done for now..peace

Man for me(not a producer but emcee)..I am a lucky one I guess. My girl is all into music. So she understands the luv and the 5 guys in a room tryin to put the finishing touches on an album at 3 in the morning when she has to wake up at 7 to work. So I am straight. I used to date this control freak hoe and she up and left when I told her that my equipement stays where it is. If she doesn't like it then she can take the walk. So she left...I had I hate bitches material for months to write about after her...My creative killer right now is my new apartment. The set-up isn't very well tailored for spur of the moment recording and mixdowns. Kinda sucks..

Dolo that shit you wrote is great...
 
Yo, I know i am knew around here but I can definately feel this topic. I just moved in with my shorty a few months ago. Since I am staying at her place till we get this house in a few months, I havent done much of anything music wise. I don't think its anything that she is doing particularly to knock me off, just I be into so much other stuff that I am drained when it comes to writing and putting together concepts. Plus when I used to create and write, I was used to have my own space, if not exactly a lab, but just a room or even a closet where I could chill unaffected by the rest of the world and come up with hot shit. Just lately I been getting back into creating, but taking time to go walking or driving bumping the music that inspires me.
 
Preach

If I wasn't for these females I'd probably have a few deals on the table right NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
