"What's on your mind?"
It's about a quarter to 7 this mornin, didn't go to sleep last night, and now I'm @ work on facebook and I see the infamous "What's on your mind?" Usually, I post random stuff up there like on some twitter ish. But this mornin, there just one or two things that's on my mind that I actually want to air out. One of the main reasons why I'm doing what I'm doing(pertaining to me going to Full Sail) is mainly because I'm tired of listening to trash/garbage/BULLshit. And I'm not even talking content. I'm talking quality. I'm constantly bein hit on twit or on campus by people that swear they got that "body rock." Honestly, if your mix is trash, I'm prolly not gon' get past your first verse. Don't get me wrong, there are a few cats that have hit me with ish that sound like it came out the Hit Factory. But when it comes to the point were I hear the 808s OVERpowering the entire mix to where I can't even hear your voice, I begin to wonder how your track was mixed. Like the person mixed it off the computer's internal speakers. I don't know, that's just me coming from an engineering perspective. And another instance where I've known this person for YEARS and 2 or 3 years ago, he told me he was interested in making beats and had me listen to a couple tracks. I gave a few suggestions on what he could improve and it wasn't until a few days ago til I heard another track from him. Dawg...how your shit sound EXACTLY the same as it did 2-3 years ago?!?! And you expect me to shop your beats to artists? What that look like on me? I understand I'm no expert. I understand I'm not a f@#$iiiinnnnn A&R for a major label. But if you say you were serious back in 08, im expecting to hear some borderline crazy shit in 2010. Artists/producers, I'm telling you now, if you come @ me with that flim flam, take no offense now when I say I'm prolly not going to listen to future works, maybe until I hear it on the radio. I'm down here in Florida trying to perfect my craft. I'm still finding ways to improve my old shit. I'm still learning like you all are. If we're cool, hopefully we can still be cool. I just don't have the time anymore. Don't even say "O, ChiLL's gone Hollywood. He doesn't have time to fuck with us anymore." That's def not the case. I'm just out here grinding now so I can eventually make it to Hollywood. I think that's it for now. I'll keep you posted. We cool? lmao

For those who aren't on twitter, the timeline starts from the bottow to the top.
My 2 Cents
It was a crazy weekend this weekend. Went to the A, got in some GOOD work @ the studio. I’m telling yall, summer 2010 is about to be CRAZY. One thing I wanted to post before I left was my 2 cents on Baseline Studios closing. Baseline Studios was one of the major recording studios out of NY where super producer Just Blaze used to go ham on the beats. The main reason why I wanted to discuss this is for the fact that while I’m here at school, I’m learning/training to work in these type of studios. In this time of the recession and the internet, major studios are closing. And for the fact that people are building their own personal home studios, a lot of artists end up going to there to record. Last week, after I heard Baseline closed, I began to wonder if what I’m doing here in Orlando really going to pay off. I just took a class last month on how to work those huge mixing boards. When I read about Baseline, I couldn’t help but ask myself if what I’m doing here going to be a waste? If you asked me if I was worried about work after graduation before I left for ATL and the same question after, you would have two totally different answers. After this weekend, I’ve never been more excited for the future. Being surround by people who are working towards the same goal was inspiration that was definitely needed. I was really thankful for this weekend. When I got back to the crib last night, I couldn’t wait to get back to work. This summer’s about to be STUUUUUUPID(in a good way)! lol

What the DUECE?!?!
Over the weekend, I had seen a few photos, and even in the interview I posted earlier today, with Skateboard P wearing these Nikes. Are these cool? Look like P asked Nike to design some snow boots lol. I can't call it.

My Bad Lupe
"For The Record:
The track “I’m Beaming” that was leaked last night was NOT authorized or intentionally leaked by myself or my company.
Plain and simple its STOLEN property. And this goes for ANY record or track that leaks or is made available for illegal download from this day forward.
Actions are being taken and the authorities have been notified.
As a personal plea to all my fans PLEASE DO NOT share, stream, or download any unauthorized or stolen Lupe Fiasco music.
A lot of time and energy goes into the creation of this music, not to mention large sums of money, money provided by my record company as well as from my own personal finances. My music is the product of my life. It means so much to me. I take pride in it and i also take pride in how it changes peoples lives and gives them hope. So to see it treated in this manner really numbs the soul. So many of my family and friends rely on me for their well-being and I rely on my music to give me the opportunities that allow me to provide for them.
So this one i’m taking personal. And I will do ALL that is in my power and my circle of influence to make sure that the persons directly or even remotely responsible for this and any future events involving the piracy and illegal distribution and solicitation of my music will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Both criminally as well as civilly.
With the history that surrounds the devastating and massive piracy of my first album i’m sure some of you can understand why this very harsh stance that is being taken up. And for those of you unsympathetic enough not to understand i can only compare it to someone breaking into your house and stealing everything not tied down or someone kidnapping you sister or brother and ransoming them back to you. A deep sense of helplessness. I hope you never have to feel this and i wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
Happy Holidays…
EVEN AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT LOSERS…
Earlier, I had posted "I'm Beaming." I had totally forgot all about what happened to Food & Liquor. I agree with what he had to say as far as the time and money it takes to make tracks. If I were workin on a track and it got leaked, I'd be pissed too. So again, my b.
Back To The Future
I wonder if there will be a time in the future where there will be a brand that can be compared to Air Jordan. Or do you think it'll get to the point where J's lace up themselves like Marty's Nikes in Back to the Future?
Word Marge Simpson?!?
Wooooooooooooow...never thought Marge would have a spread in Playboy smh. What happened to the real women? lol
Back from hiatus...
I know I haven't posted anything in a minute. I have been grindin with school this past week. So nothing had really been going on @ The ChiLL Spot. So for that, my bad. Now...back to our regular scheduled program. lol
