music again!
Chasing that love again
Okay Okay Okay I'll admit I haven't been the best in this relationship. I could've been more attentive and understanding, but I got frustrated and strayed a bit.
I first fell in love with music as a toddler rocking to the live funky sounds of Kool and the Gang. My mom always giggles when she tells me the story of how I danced and swayed during the entire concert. This was the gateway to my passion.
My life has been guided by its own soundtrack it's been that way since birth, unfortunately my life's frequency has had dead air interrupt it every once in a while.
Frustration takes over when I work with individuals who are talented, but they get in their own way. Okay wait let me back up give a little background on me. I got into this music thing back when I was in college. I made up my mind that I wanted to become a music producer. Making beats like Missy Misdemeanor Elliot. I grabbed my phone book -yes, phone book this was early 2000's by the way- in search of a studio and dialed the first number I saw. Wildstyle Music and more. I called said I wanted to intern for free the voice on the other end said sure come through and so I did. It was a cool experience met a few folks, was exposed to the mixtape and Dj pool process. But I only worked there for the summer, fall semester kicked in and I was not trying to have more on my plate than I could handle. Funny thing though when spring term kicked in I jumped right back into the intern game, but this time for the local radio station. Talk about an experience anywhooooo.
My love for music was good during these times I was young and eager to learn. As I got older I started to see the other side my disappointment was more with the artist than the industry. I was in constant contact with artists who wanted to become stars, but wasn't willing to put in the work or they had personal things that got in the way of their elevation ( girlfriend, drugs, EEEgo,illegal sh*t, the hoood, etc) Those times brought on a lot of quiet space.
The radio!!!!! when you have been in the presence of great wasted talent and turn on the radio to bad talentless success it gets frustrating.
But!!!! I'm over it the love is still there I'm still viiibin to that dope soundtrack I just turn the knob down sometimes.
