built successful

Friday, August 21st, 2009

people often wonder  where artists get their inspiration from (i use the term “artist” lightly when regarding my self, since i’m a novice that’s taught him self enough of everything to create some cool shit, but still has alot to learn… i just dont like being dubbed a “producer”, too industry-ish).

i was watching Mean Girls (pause, no homo, etc…) with a couple homegirls lastnight. with every movie i watch i naturally pay close attention to the scoring. a familiar guitar intro came on late in the movie and i recognized the song but didn’t know who sang it or what it was called… buuuuuut wikipedia has an answer for everything. so i brought up the mean girls soundtrack and found out it was called Built This Way by Samantha Ronson. 30 seconds later it was in Reason. i’m not a pro at mash ups and remixing so i thought i’d mess around with the beat i made using the sample from Built This Way and add Drake’s vocals from Successful but i couldn’t find the a cappella, so it turned into a cool mash up. might sound a little offkey sometimes cause i’m still figuring out pitch adjustment.

anyways, we find inspiration everywhere… even in Mean Girls.

here it is, Built Successful

(sorry about the crummy quicktime window, just right click and open in new tab…  it’ll have to do for now until i find out how to have a practical music player on here… i’m learning!)

UPDATE: nevermind, i learned! now everytime i post a song just click it and a little player will pop up.

to whoever is paying attention,

i’ve been hiding from the world for a long time. usually because of my little hater, but also because the music world is shady.

insefuckincurities! they could be paralyzing. any unheard of creative person with universal ambitions faces the impossible task of introducing themselves and their art to a savage industry filled with little dirty ass vultures… and usually a few of their idols.

i’m 20 years old, i live in Toronto, and today i decided to release 2 years worth of music through my blog. i have nothing planned. depending on how i feel everyday i’ll pull out something relevant from the vault. you’ll hear instrumentals, unfinished instrumentals, recorded tracks, unfinished tracks, dubs, remixes, and occasionally other peoples stuff that blows my mind. you’ll see images and videos that are relevant to the music being posted, and you’ll less often see images and videos that have nothing to do with anything but for some reason need to be on the blog.

infinite thanks to my bro, MFantu, for everything.
cool red and vince carter will introduce themselves shortly.

now that this welcome post is out of the way, i finna post some hotfiyah.
