The Believer
THAT JUST HAPPENED.
It’s true that a lot of things that have happened online have been in unison with what Lonnie and Kanye were doing musically, respectively and together. I felt good about what I had to say around the time I was listening to Be a lot, wmdeez started popping off when Finding Forever and Graduation dropped, then I stopped everything around the time they dropped Universal Mind Control and 808s & Heartbreak. I feel like everything’s coming full circle, plus they’re about to put out Good Ass Job and The Believer, and I’ve never felt stronger about having this site prosper in the only way I know how.

I’m just tryna get my life together…
I was just riding around thinking that there’s still a few some music that I can delve into and dissect on here. There’s obviously all the music that I knew about but never really listened to (my generation never listened to albums in full, it’s true) and blogging about re-discovering it and at the same time sharing it with people who might also be in my position. There’s also songs that have dropped in the era of music blogs and that no one bothered to touch on because there’s so much fucking bullshit out there (I’ll admit it… I don’t make it.)
Another parallel to wmdeez that I just realized while looking for that Faithful song, is that soon after starting Weapons of Mass Distraction, my computer crashed and I was grinding like crazy trying to find music to post. Youtube, zSHARE and the whole nine. Well, a few weeks ago, the hard drive I just got started clicking, making all the music I had compiled over the past few months disappear in thin air. Which means I’m gonna be pushing mp3s on here as soon as I find em… just like I was doing in 2007.
Last thing I have to say about wmdeez (because I’m only just realizing how much people liked that website through how much they hate this one,) is that I was just a kid with a lot of time on his hands and a hunger to be perceived as all-knowing when it came to music, so I had to do the research to back it up – and fell on so much good shit. Right now, a lot of my time is obviously spent updating the other site, but I’ve come to the realization that rappers really ain’t shit. It’s not just about thinking about what I wanna talk about, it’s also about finding the time to get the mp3s to match it… and I’m not trying to talk about no regular songs to y’all. Bear and I both think I should take this opportunity to post more music shit while he’s emptying his (picture) archives on his tumblr. I’m gonna resuscitate some post formats you haven’t seen in a while.
And yeah, this was another blog post about blogging. It’s almost as bad as rappers who rap about rapping. I’m gonna try to make this the last one of these… but it’s coming, sooner than you think.

I was actually following that convo on Nah. Nice response. Just live by it though. Sometimes when your busy you think too much.
