(Not so) Friday Night

Friday Night, I'm supposed to be OUT.
Party, Music, Dance, Drinks etc, you know the deal.
I'm here waiting on Jay, he went boarding and was coming to pick me up on the way back. So he just texts me at 1:30 AM that the driver lost the carkeys and they're stuck down there. DAMN
He'll be back at about 3:30 AM and there won't be any use in us going anymore, so FUCK IT, I'm going to bed.
So before I get boring and hop in my bed, I just wanted to let you know something.

*Sorry I just gotta laugh at myself using "you" as in the "people reading my blog" when they don't exist LOL"

But anyway, Today, we finished a new track. It's called "Can't See" and it will be present on the DEMO (Swave - Break Through). So, that's the last track.
It was hard for me cause it was a track about breaking up. I've only been through 1 break-up and that wasn't even a bad one. But it did leave a scar (Scar Tissue Blog) and I must say, it had more of an impact than I thought it would have. Anyway, this wasn't really a "I'm closing the book/dealing with it" track, it was more of a heartfelt REALITY guided expression of what I feel. And I know most rappers don't feel, but hey, I TOLD YOU I WAS REAL.

Will Smith, 2 of Us "Ain't no pain like from the opposite sex" (REAL TALK)

From now on we'll be working on the C.Brokx Demo ( C.Brokx - 'Still Untitled' LOL).
I'm going to Delft on Thursday to visit Flow, we'll go out, party etc (make up for tonight) and on Friday I'll be heading to A'dam to spread the word on my DEMO (Which will be available for download very soon including tracks that didn't make the 6+1 cut)
I will let you know (LOL @ the "you" again) how it went.
Untill then, enjoy the SWAVY TUNES on the TOP RIGHT of you screen, and if you feel it, you're on a good SWAVE.

Here's the Will Smith track for his son with the 'Pain' line..




And on a lighter note, a teammate of mine reminded me of this fantastic club song I was dying to hear tonight (thanks Jay, for fucking that up haha) Now, this shouldn't get any grammy's, not even close, but it's a CRAZY CLUB JOINT.



I also added what Chris Rock had to say about it,, LMAO ( Chris Rock is a LEGEND!! )

"Lift your leg Up"

So I'm sitting here at work, f*cked up with my leg in the air.

Yesterday we had a game againt this bunch of farmers on a frozen pitch, it was like an icering (only not as smooth)
So I tick the ball past this moron looking jackass and that dumbmotherf*cker just runs through me.
In the falling back motion I twist my ankle on the Rocky Mountains pitch, I take of my shoe and sock and there's and EasterEGG on my ankle. I was so pissed I really could've hurt someone yesterday..

Had Ice on it, it's all bandaged up and I have to keep it lifted upwards (As if this is new for me) I wonder if I'm supposed to get injured every 3 months or am I just one unlucky motherf*cker (well at least I'm not a moron looking jackass LOL)

Let's juts hope it's not too bad..

Scar Tissue

Is there a place for a soul that is scarred?

Do distant memories and emotions ever really disapear?

Is the motion of forgetting just a filtering of feelings,
As we bottle deeper tears and show the fascade of a smile?

Why can we see things coming but can't defend ourselves from them?

What makes us want something we know is not good for us?

Why can't our heart and brain work on the same wave-length?

What is going on?

This young boy named Adolf Hitler, who we told you about cause a local supermarket refused to make a birthday cake with his name on it, has been taken away from his parents by authorities, according to a local website.

LehighValleyLive.com reports that Adolf and his sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, 1, and 8-month-old Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, were removed from their home by New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services.

No reason was given for why the children were removed, however, and Holland Township police chief David Van Gilson told the site they had not received any reports of abuse or negligence.Back in December, the boy's parents, Heath and Deborah, were outraged when a local ShopRite declined to provide them with cake for Adolf's birthday."They're just names, you know," Heath Campbell told the Easton Express-Times in December. "Yeah, they (the Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They're not going to grow up like that."

However, Heath reportedly denies the Holocaust and their home is decorated with swastikas.The parents were to attend a hearing regarding their children on Tuesday, but it was apparently postponed.

-----------------------------------------------------
So I just read this short article and there's just one question that pops up in my mind:
Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?
I mean, yes, they have the right to name their children what they like
BUT
Think about the future of these children.
Who the hell is going to hire someone called Adolf Hitler for example? This has nothing to do with what the child can or cannot do but it's like trying to find a job after you've come out of prison OR worse.
What where these parents thinking? Probably only of themselves. Believe what you want to believe and do what you want to do, but don't ruin your child's future in the process.
Luckily we can change our names now-a-days..

Complain..

Damn, I hate work.
I'm talking about work that you don't really want to do, but you forced into doing.
I'm moving to Utrecht in August. But untill that time, I gotta make due with my current situation.
Working for money, playing football for money and the only time I'm cool is when I'm with my girl, chilling with friends, behind the mic or when I'm writing.
I don't wanna wish my time away but I really wish is was July. Summertime, holiday, moving, and closer to a new start.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining cause I know I'm blessed.
It's just, we get used to what we have, and we just don't appreciate it the way we should. It's like you've got people that are living their dream and still complain about giving an interview or doing a show.
Complaining about the fact that the new Porsche 911 turbo is coming out and they just bought the old model so it won't be a good look. Complaining about the absence of champaigne on a plaine.

Take some time out and reflect on your life. Be happy for what you've got. And don't wish your time away.

I'll try and do the same.. LOL

New Name..

So I've been up searching for a new way to name my blog.

First it was CBrokx. That came off of the music we were making as the group C.Brokx. But seeing as I'm not using the blog for that reason I wanted to give it a new name.

I still wanted to keep it musically inspired because that's just a part of me. So I started brainstorming:
- Speakerz (USED, LAME, PLAYED OUT)
- BeatBlog (LAME)
- Sound (BORING)

- Musyq (INTERESTING, SEMI-BITTEN (Musiq Soulchild))
- Wave (BORING)

After that, I came up with this:
- Swave

That shit sounds dope as HELL.
I googled it and found no known artists using the same name. I also found out about the
S.WAVE
: a wave (as from an earthquake) in which the propagated disturbance is a shear in an elastic medium (as the earth)

If I add my own meaning
SWAVE
: Sound Wave

It's got a great dubble meaning and it sounds good. It's short and easy to remember. I think we have ourselves a winner.

What do you think?

Charles Hamilton

This post is in (kinda) Pink, if you know who it's about you'll know why..

So, it's been a couple of weeks since I found out about Charles Hamilton (Damn I wished I lived in New York to be on top of things that happen in the birthplace of HipHop) and to be real with you, I think he's the next B.I.G. thing.
He's creative as f*ck, a real musician (not the kind that's blinded by the light) and the music is amazing.
Now, to be honest, I like it when people are a lil' arrogant (if you want to call it that) , and not so over the top humblel. Think of a Eric Cantona, a 50 Cent, a Thierry Herny, Kanye West, a Berbatov and many others. They all have an aura about them and same goes for Charles.
I'ma stop before I start sounding like a Stan but watch out for his music.. (On the Right of my Blog you'll see a link to his blog and the video for 'Brooklyn Girls' and i'll put it in this post as well cause it's that dope)

Do what YOU want

Cliché, obviously!
But
Think about it, when do you actually do what you want.
When
Do you forget about what everyone tells you to and actually do what
YOU want?

Come here with me, watch this movie, eat this meal, go to school,
study this, use your talent, become this, live here, don't do that,
clear up now..

I could go on and on and on..
You've all heard it before, you know what it is to do something you
don't really wanna do..
For now.. DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO

(as long as it doesn't get you into trouble LOL)

12 Questions..

This
is just something I wrote in 10 minutes,
Thoughts
are coming to me rapidly so I had to catch the wave,
Enlighten
me with answers or your take on the questions..
Here it is..

How do you feel when your feelings are stressed?
What is really real, and what is just a test?
Is it true what they say, what they say about the heart?
When your heart breaks does the paine leave a scar?
Will the sky open up when our time has reached the end?
What is really better, Family or true friends?
How can you commit to just that one soul?
How can you stay together and together grow old?
Billions of people how can one be enough?
Does your past make you better? Does the hurt make you tuff?
Is everyone the same or are some people special?
Time will bring US answers so let the time bless YOU

Best (Hip-Hop) Track of '08 ?

Joe Budden - Who ?

This track is amazing, the question "Who?" relates to the ongoing question; 'Who killed Hip-Hop?'
The beat is chilled out, but it's not about the beat here. JumpOff navigates us through the ongoing era of hiphop highlighting memorable moments that may have something to do with the decline of quality in our home called Hip-Hop.
No more talk, let's get into a zone, where all true "Hip-Hoppers" can say the're home!
Check it out, Joe Budden - Who? (It's one song in 3 Parts!)

Part 1&2


Part 3


Let Me know What you think.. and who YOU think Killed Hip-Hop (If it is DEAD)

But
As today is my first day, I'd like to inform you of my (second) (real) reinvention of my blog. I said I would do something with it, but it never happened.
Thanks to
Miss Lemonize (again, thanks ;)

(Late) Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone all the best for 2009

Make it a year where your dreams come from just a dream to reality. Maybe not all at once but if by the end of the year you have made one of you dreams come true, it will have been a succesfull year!'
I too, am going to persue my dreams, challenge the ones that tell me no, and prove to everyone that I am not just a regular, period.
Don't want to sound cocky or arrogant, but we are all special. And it's the choices we make that detemine what we make of ourselves.
You can take the safe road and breeze through life without a care.
Or
You can go out on a lim, show yourself, open yourself up, expose yourself and make the best out of this short rollercoaster that we call life.
And
I can tell you this, I am ALL IN for one hell of a ride..


How about you?
