Today’s post is still part of my daily blogging experiment of posting at least 500 words a day, but I’m temporarily putting the subject I was writing about yesterday to the side, since today is the official release date of the newest rap project I’ve been a part of, and it wouldn’t be right not … Continue reading NEWEST RELEASE: EXCEEDINGLY DOPE THINGS, VOL. 1
So, yesterday I wrote about just how much beauty and inspiration can be found, or could be found, in this world, if we were to open up our minds and free up our calendars. Now, this is all well and good, it feels great to imagine that the world is one huge source of inspiration, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 30: Finding Inspiration in the Mundane
Yesterday I was writing about work, about how it relates to our limited time on this earth and how we choose to spend it, or rather, how we would choose to spend it if we were truly free. I think a lot of people would be surprised at what they could get into if they … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 29: The Inspiration to Live
So, having already mentioned my issues with sticking to any one pursuit in life, having too many options and just seeing way too many possibilities, more than I could ever compare and therefore decide between, I think I have to write about something which has also been an issue for me throughout my life, which … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 28: Time vs. Money
So, having written about various interlinked topics so far in this series, I find myself facing some writer’s block. I knew this day would come, when I would have to face my sworn enemy, and probably that of any serious writer’s, in fact. I can usually do a good job of not letting it affect … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 27: Defeating Writer’s Block… Once Again
This is part of my writing series of posting at least 500 words a day, but it's a break from the topics I've been writing about, since today is the release date for my newest electronic EP, 'it's alive.' Although I had been making beats on FL since as far back as 2010, it’s only … Continue reading NEW EP, ‘it’s alive’ OUT NOW. A collection of Live Acid Jams
So, with yesterday’s post I started exploring the comparison between old-school and new-school hip-hop. I concluded that, even though both are guilty of including negative content in their lyrics and being careless with their words, at least the earlier generations of rappers cared about the craft and were dedicated to making the music dope. The … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 25: Old-School vs. New-School Hip-Hop
Today’s post is a continuation of what I was writing yesterday, after having completed a recap of my first 20-something days of daily posting. If it’s your first time reading a post of mine and don’t want to read the recent recap, just know I’ve been writing about music, more specifically hip-hop, and about its … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 24: Why Is Hip-Hop Dying?
So, now that I got that recap out of the way, I’m ready to continue with the topic I left off on. Hip-hop is the music I mainly chose to create, because it was the first genre to inspire me with its potential to be a powerful tool for change, and because it was a … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 23: We Think of Ourselves as Above Being Influenced
Yesterday I started a recap of where my current daily writing experiment has brought me so far. I didn’t get to finish it, so today is a continuation of my attempt at a recap. As I mentioned, I started Day 1 by questioning the legitimacy of stream-of-consciousness writing, wondering whether writing for the sake of … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 22: Where My Current Writing Experiment Has Brought Me
