Little Vic & CP “Running Circles” prod. Hakan

“I guess it really is just me, myself & all my poverty/” 

I touch on this subject very often because I cannot fathom how mainstream hip-pop radio stations even retain enough support to play a song more than 25 times in one day.  Granted, I listened to NY HH stations when I was younger.  You know, when they would play an O.C. record at 3pm on a friday.  To be honest, if I heard Group Home ” Living Proof” more than ‘Thrice’, (not counting the 6 thousand times Flex would bring it back and drop bombs all over it)  there is a good chance I wouldn’t have bought their album out of pure agitation.  What is the point of having multiple “DJ’s” spin in different airtime slots if they all play the same 5 records?  I heard Clearchannel gives these stations a playlist that they are to play rain, sleet, hail or snow….do to legal payola.  I also heard George W. Bush hired Dick Cheney to clip his hunting buddy despite the botched hit.

I do enjoy a good conspiracy theory as much as the next person being who has their cellphone tapped. (I kid.)

However, I don’t think this epidemic is so malicious.  I think a guy like Dj Clue will hear Mister Cee playing a new J Cole record 5 times in his hour set, and come to the conclusion that this is what people want.  Let’s be honest.  People don’t know what they want.  Sheeople tend to follow.  Even if they are following the decisions brought to light by a rectangle table, occupied by men in black, who’s collection of rap songs in their home stereos consists of Cab Calloway.

“Bla Bla Bla ‘Dope102.16″ Where Hip-Hop Dies” gladly obliges.  They even have the balls to get amped before they play something for the 10th time.  I have to believe that SOME of these Dj’s are dishing out songs they know people love already, pressing mute in the radio studio, and nodding their heads to O.C.’s “Word…Life”.   While the millions of listeners are memorizing Drake rhymes about womanizing, or the ‘people around him’ catching a body (which is the equivalent of Audio Two saying ‘ I got a great big body guard’)…I am just sitting there in an ignorance induced state of catatonia.  This guy even goes as far to say “You gon make ME catch a body like that.”  So if he tells a white lie about catching a body, catching brain, or even catching a football with those fruity hands of his..  we must pardon him because he is after all.. “The realest mother fucker in the game right now”.

This nonsense is the reason that true hip hop fans need to stop downloading music from guys who aren’t backed up by The Machine.  We all argue with imbeciles on the internet screaming out how they know NOTHING about our art and it’s true masters, yet we do NOTHING to help these same artists prosper.  Instead we download their albums, and avoid seeing them live (It’s almost as if we hate them.)  The average true hip hop fan takes the shit pathetically seriously though.  For future reference Hip Hop nerds, I have had enough of trying to watch Lord Finesse videos and scrolling down only to find out someone believes it absolutely necessary to mention how Lord Finesse would destroy  Lil’ Wayne in a battle.  It is the same thing as mentioning Justin Beiber’s name under a Beatles video.

“13 people are NOT the Walrus”… Shut the fuck up herb, go try to find Bigfoot.

“I must be too strung out on competence/ Overdosed on Lozenges/ Shooting in the daylight I haven’t turned on my contra-since/ Vic keep it filthy, I have never got my tonka’s-rinsed/ On the montauk beach and I ain’t looking for monster-prints/”  – Dumb shit.

Hidden Agenda – Wonderful Thing

Orena Records – CP, Zeal, Eddie Nash, King the Aggressive

Mann95, Critical Madness, Tzarizm, Tre de Jean, Robert Akins III,

Sean Strange, Odoub, Raida, Stress (No good people)

and a few others which I am working on getting involved.  The beats are serious, and beyond anything I have ever released so I know with these MC’s over them.. it will be a solid project that all my fans will enjoy immensely…

I will be releasing some leaks and snippets before the project is finished.  Since I have all the beats, and its just a matter of the MCs picking which ones they want, and recording them.. this shouldn’t be a long process at all.

KEEP IT LOCKED!

As you know, I will be releasing an album very soon .. with various production (some of which I haven’t recorded over yet) producers I haven’t got in the lab with yet (till my return from the land of oranges and weirdos).. Here’s the thing… I might just release something straight to itunes since I have so many completed songs that are insane (which won’t make Widowmaker)… sooo… WHY NOT!?  Hopefully I’ll have much news in the following 2 weeks, but if I drop this *untitled project (though I am leaning toward something having to do with Mythology & barbarism.. don’t ask why… i’m just in a viking kind of zone) it will be a quick drop, with quickly assembled art, and barely any time to promote (YOU KNOW HOW I DO) … since hopefully, Orena Records will NOT be anything except my production/studio business – UNTIL I am 100% sure I am going through with this move.  ANYHOW, sorry to be so fuckin secretive, it’s obvious I WANT TO EXPLAIN ALL, but i cannot.
Hit me with Replies if you’s have ideas for a project name, weather it be a cool classic sounding phrase or a strange word (apocalypto… each dawn i die… widowmaker) na mean?

Thanks
