"So Special" Beat of the Month (November Edition)

0 comments
Last week I shared my Inspiration to my music making process, which featured Andy Mckee - Rylynn song off of YouTube. This week is the actually finished project from the song. I sampled it in a way that it still hold its smooth jazzy, r&b feel but, in the way I feel it should be interpreted through the hip-hop way.

This beat is very intense and melodic and the title say it all "So Special"

So check out, leave your comments or opinions on it, and most of all enjoy!

Thanks

Reality (Poem)

0 comments

I know a lot now, after time as pass

I find fewer things to talk about when life's full of gas

And the prices aren't very affordable when quality is trash

But we bash until the feeling is crashed

And the pieces are over the street waiting for cabs

Intended to bleed through and cause leakage for cash

I rather spend my money on things to scratch my a**

So in fact, the information is well intact

Bundled up like prostitute in a winter cap

The message clearly reads u can try but the words mean shat

And the diseases that spread can just be a mishap

And god is willing to forgive that

So what can i say when, I feel like I just been slapped

That living in the moment was just filling a missing gap

I truly don't know what to do when the whip cracks

Freezing cold with a stiff back

And the feeling moves to the fingers and its too late to leap back

So it seems that

I have regain the power of the nerd or a geek at that

But tomorrow is another day and i got to sip that

To much and i feel woozy from a 5th and a half

I'm regaining power back to the main slab

I gotta keep punching away to there isn't any more scraps

So when my life is over there isn't just a begin and end, its a story, its a rap.


Reality

My Inspiration to (BlaqcRain) Music (November Edition)

1 comments
I wanted to share some of the things that I might get inspiration to make music. Most people do not know that I started off listening to Gospel. That is what my mom listens to so, I had the uplifting type of vibe from that genre of music. I also listen to Jazz, which my dad listens to, and that has very rich bass licks and brass sections. I then floated to R&B and Hip-Hop to derive my own style from the elements that I grew up on.

R&B is my favorite out of the bunch and then Hip-Hop because of its drum patterns and how the track moves.

The song in this video represents the R&B - Jazzy feel. But when i listen to it i feel that i could make it something of my own and I DID!

Later this month I will have my track of the month (sampled from this song) and it will be blogged right here on BlaqcRain.com!!!
So Stay Tuned In!!

This is the song I sampled.

The artist : Andy Mckee - Rylynn

Five of my favorite videos (November Edition)

0 comments
Missy Elliot - She's A Bitch

Missy Elliot is still one of my favorite.. Of course her old style.. Especially when she released Supa Dupa Fly..
But this video was very futuristic to me.. the sound of the beat was was crazy.. I think my favorite part of the video is when Missy Elliot and her dancers rise out of the water on the big ass "M" Its the mountain top of the song and the video.




Jay-Z Girls Best Friend (Bluestreak Soundtrack)

This video is crazy... The directors of this video actually study the shapes and cut on diamond to make this video happen.. Any one who saw this video back in the day was amazed by the transition from the outside of the diamond to the inside where Jay-z lays down them verse.




Busta Rhymes - Dangerous

Busta is silly ass dude... man does videos and concepts on his terms.. and some of his earlier ones was a based off a moive.. This was the Last Dragon.. well at least the end of it.. I love it.. everyone knows the famous quote!

Leroy!!!!!!!!!! Am I the meanest Sho Nuff!,, I am I the prettiest, Sho Nuff! Am I the badest, toughest, low do mofo in this town! Sho Nuff!




Aaliyah - More Than A Woman

I love this one because there going in and out of the motorcycle.. the pistons.. the light.. its was crazy.. I didnt realize that all the scene were from different parts from the bike. But after watching it for so long you finally pick up lil things that are in the video. Plus its Aaliyah she was the hottest yo.. everybody wanted to be with her.. and this album was really going to mark her stake in the music business.




112 ft Mase - Love Me

ATL Harlem World ATL.....ATL Harlem World ATL.... 112 Harlem 112..

Ha i love this video.. the all white back drop with the rotating clinders on the back and fore drop.. love this video.. and 112 was the hottest at the time and so was MAse as the feature. Dont forget about the Vespa scooter riding on the rotations... I remember trying to create that maddness... lol its was fun
