cyber digga

WHAT THE FUCK IS A Cyber Digga?
cyber diggas are those who use the internet as their crate. with mp3's available at a click of a button, new-aged producers can now find whatever they need to chop. however, being in a day and age where everybody want to hop the "band-wagon" , cyber diggin can bring an end to crate diggin.
piracy is the blame for most shit leaking out into the ear of the public. LimeWire and Aries can bring lost of inspiration to and cyber digga. as i mentioned above, cyber diggin may cause an end to crate digging depending on the person. i had to make sure i talk more on this subject. i myself take those weekly trips to dig crates. there's nothing close to the feeling of searching for that diamond in a rough.. certain p2p/ share programs lack full albums to satisfy many cyber diggas...
my advise to those who fall into the category of "cyber-digga":
GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND SUPPORT THE RECORD STORE!!
-peace

music IS therapy

music is therapy.. as fucked up i am in the head i spared countless hours on the couch of a head-shrink.. as long as i can remember i've expressed all of my bottled-up emotions in the form of creation.. music has always been the safe haven i've turned to whenever a bothering situation came to be.. to those who say i run away from my problems fuck you.. if you only understood how i am and my position in this optical illusion called life, then you know what im saying... indeed music is therapy.. no matter whatever stressed me out, music has always been to the rescue.. music isnt the only thing that i concider to be therapy.. real talk, creativity itself is the shit that keeps my mind off of the stress... as stresseed out as i am at this point i'm over due for relaxation.... im ready to get back to these beats 'cause i'm frustrated as fuck and the only thing that can clear my mind is choppin a few samples and turning these negative feelings into something positive.. ya digg

.......inspiration

there's a few things that inspire me to do what i do. when it comes to sampling anythihng foreign catches my ear.. i would have a beat chopped in my head after the first 60 seconds. depending on my envirnment, i tend to bang out beats suiting present situations.. if im going thru stress i usually make down tempo or full orchestrated instrumentals.. some say i pay attention to way too much. when i over-analyze certain things, every happening is a chord and each step forward is the notes.. all moving in harmony
honestly music is therapy.. that explains the shit written on the right side of the screen.. the only way i've known to express myself is thru creation. words can say much.. in some situations words say too little and leaves room for other means to continue where words left off... ya digg

....where u can find me and reach me

.......thought of the day

WAKE UP
i turned off my radio feeling as if i was in the twilight zone. still to this day quality hip hop has yet to be played. in this fast paced game everyone tends to jump the bandwagon, confoming to the commercial form of hip hop called rap.
radio stations should concider their position being the median between the industry and the people. imagine a baby eating pure fod from birth.. to suddenly switch to synthetics can cause that baby to become immune... i turned off the radio because i didnt want to be spoon-fed the bullshit, ya digg

.......how it all began (part1)

circa 1985


christmas used to be the shit before i de-programmed.. that year my parents brought my brother and i voltron, a toy piano and a drum set.
i used to rock on that thing any chance i get. not knowing then, i was tapping into my future.
I still think back to those days... 85 was cool to me because i was before my own time.. my cousin Ryan was the one with the boombox and i would try to spit shit.. wasnt making sense then...
but i tried, only being 5.. the yougest of the bunch




circa 1986



ok..ok... another christmas story..lol
really, i never believed in santa clause.. i was dyslexic and spelled satan by accident. back my story, i woke up late one christmas eve to catch the muthafucka in the act.. there was no way a fat cracka can make his way through a chimney that doesnt exist.
to my surprise i caught my pops with a big ass bag.. in it was the second thing that captured my interest in music.
i looked passed the lazer tag set for my brother and i and headed straight to my pops keyboard.. i never touched the piano from the previous year and the drumset was broken by the time school was out.
back to the keyboard.... i never seen a keyboard that operated with a sampler.. shit.... i never saw a keyboard at all
casio sk-200


i took over that keyboard and learned how to use the sampler, unfortunatly i fucked up and broke it.. got my ass beat then pops brought my brother and i an sk-1



casio sk-1

i pimped that keyboard from 86-89.. no sequencing, no tuning, no EQ, no effects processor, NOTHING... but it still sampled. since then pops brought a new sk-200 and every now and then i would sneak it out of the room to chop up a beat.. mainly shit off the radio. those who know me well can say that i have a nack for taking shit a part and rebuilding it to something different.. since my brother used his keyboard rarely i decided to build my own 2-channel mixer.. i realized something was wrong when i put out the fire.. then genius struck.. snuck my parents record player in the room and used the line in to hook both up... Im bout to end this story here so i can finish choppin' these samples.. i'll hit u with part 2 later

INTRODUCTION TO ME

step inside my mind
leave your shoes at the door!!



ok.... first off im going to say that newport 100's
may be the tool to my demise..stressed for the moment ;)
let's see..... i type in fragments so if u plan on being my editor,
please shut the fuck up and talk to the brick wall.
im not rude at all... just mind fucked like you!!
within these 27 years i've realized life is more than a blessing.

I wonder how i can co-exist with all that i've taken for granted. I guess thats the way i am.

im a cross-breed of a pesimist and optimist if there's such thing.
