Janet Jackson - "Together Again" (Jimmy Jam deeper remix)


Someone passed away long ago, that really meant a lot to me. This person gave me some life philosophies. I always live by them and I remember them when this time of the year hits. She was someone who really made me as a person, my ways and such. My father is the other role model I have. Very serious stuff, from love to compassion to how to treat and always look at things. She told me one thing "always tell people that you love, "I love you" it might be the last time you see them. If someone is wrong, do not stop them from being wrong. Let them be, time will take care of them and they will see to it to fix themselves. Do not let people bring a negative aura to your life just stay away. Also people how think they have a higher knowledge or think they have a understanding of it all when you see they clearly don't. Always give people, the hand that they need when they are down and out. Even if you are down and out no one bails you out, you always give the hand. Karma is everything, she told me "If you do something wrong, it will come back ten fold" she is so right about that. Anyways I love her and always will, thank you for your wisdom as a older person and always had my back as a child. She hits dead on on a lot of things because she went through tons of situations in her time on earth, SO I LISTENED.

V for here's a video that I love and song that I always listen to.

When you see me I will smile, and I want you to smile back at me.

Go deeper, You have to look deeper.

I love you.

Lucy Naive - Update from the Mixtape


So me and Knos knocked out three tracks tonight mostly the filler raps, like those short intermissions. What I was trying to do is mostly get a feel for the mic and voice and also to make them sound as circa late 90's as possible. Since the other material will consist of new flows and structure. But we really were quick and I enjoy working with Knos, Carlos lent his hand in some comedic relief to kinda just stray away from my angry lyrics lol. The night was dope we ended at happy endings I saw Erica and Sheena there from last night. So I gotta get going out here in New York as far as marketing positions go, If not I will take a PR job. I don't want to but looks like I have to, for now. Well I'm gonna leave you guys with the track that is like the feel good track but I want a dark beat for it. So I went with Blaq Poets "Voices" instrumental we will have to cut and make long for this song.

Vulkan the Krusader

"I still love you" by R.Martinez



I ain't ever thought this feeling would return
It feels like the stone finally unturned
I feel like Kadeem Hardisson with Jackie in a totally different world
Vulkan feel stippled I am the Haiku
that is the Highrule
Or I am the Finals where I am just Michael
Beauty in my face you give me eye fulls
My brother, My mother, my Shoulder, My lover
like a comforter you'll always have,Your covered
I shutter at the fact that I would utter to others
That I love her
Maybe I can finally take off this rubber
It’s not something you find on a everyday basis
Something that is a rarity something that is sacred
Treat it like pottery fragile and shape it
Picture it in a Nikon,Camcorder tape it
All praises
Allah, Word to God
And I ain't gonna get the fuck outta dodge
Can a nigga give you his coat of arms
You know you diggin my flow and charm
All I want from you is to greet me with open arms
From you and me , Hope is born
Mangos to Sugar dumplings…a perfect storm

Chorus
You can say what you say
But I still love you.
You can do what you do
But I still love you
In every which way, this here is true
I hope in time we can make it through
the fact still remains that I still love you


I envision my thoughts in the future
I look at my past as a pusher and user
Things that were and things that were how it used to
the fact remains to my soul you are so soothing
the feelings in me, I can feel them brewing
shorty, I had dream about us
You were in the kitchen cutting veggies and our babies acting childish
I can't even think about that wildness
the feeling I got was overwhelming and astounding
By a bunch of love I felt surrounded
I put you before I put myself
And you know for a fact I love no one else
I got cards before that no one dealt
You’re my championship without no ring or golden belt
If you ever needed a organ, I would be your donor
If my heart had a title, then you would be the owner
And if you were my porn star, I would be your boner
What Im saying shorty is that you make time move slower

Chorus

I want to cook breakfast Sunday morning
I want to sit by the window huddled in a blanket while its storming
I want you front row while im performing
Just know wherever you are, that’s where my home is…
Vulkan the Krusader never ever plead the fifth
Rob is the man you really dealing with
Wanna be around with , talk shit with, shoot the breeze with
your the only one on this earth that seen my sweetness
Let me give you flowers and it ain't even valentines
Just listen to me you got me rhyming outta my mind
I ain't gotta lie if your willing to leave the past behind
Cuz this love here is really really really hard to find
Your nothing short of amazing
I wanna be there for you when your body is steadily aging
Momma hate you cuz you asian
that doesn't change nothing, we still formulating
I will make this love work, even if this thing kills me
Over the years in love with you is what I will be
And if you a nigga who felt this , I know you feel me
I think about you now and then between these rhymes and ill beats
Your so beautiful to a me,Sometimes I feel like Luck Exist
I am privileged to call you my miss
I treat you like your royal highness
Lemme tell you what you mean to me, and this is what this rhyme is.

The woman I love now, shes taken so let's take her off the list.


"Oh you mad cuz Im styling on ya?"

Mad Stalley x Mickey Factz SOB's


Free Mad Stalley "The Autobiography Download" click here
Today was the Stalleys show at SOB's so I promised I would capture all the moments for him before and after the show. I got there around 7, crowd was already lined up and saw some old friends outside as usual. I got in around 8:30 p.m. when the show started. A group from Atlanta kicked it off nicely followed by the wonderful music stylings of Jade who is a dope singer.Kevin was there from Alife as was Vidal, they were there taking flicks as well but I knew they would take a load and head out. I was there to pull a nighter for this one.

Stalley show was dope, the soulful sounds of the mixtape kept your head bobbing. If you love that laid back flow and and solid production that gets your head just zoned, Stalley is your emcee. He had a great show, afterwards Mickey Factz came on and gave the crowd what they wanted. His show was full of energy and more pounding sounds of straight melodic force. His water song is so real to me , I play that joint all the time. Corey Gunz was in the building and did his "A milli" rhyme and then killed it with a line about "have you ever seen lucifer praying". Shit was crazy also, Melo x was in the house and he merc it as well. The set was dope and he ended with a tribute to MJ but jamming out with the crowd to MJ tunes!

So the day before was Factz birthday, as the set ended they brought out a cake to celebrate Mickeys joint. It was a mickey mouse velvet cake and shit looked good, didn't get a piece but looked good lol. Mickey didn't have anyone to kinda get the occasion on film so I volunteered my services to him on this special day. Just met Factz but he is a cool dude and excellent rhymer. Stalley invited me to the after part so I headed out to some Reggae spot on Lafayette, shit was popping yo. As I got there I waited till it cleared a little, with all the holleration going on (by the way if you bring your girl to a spot like this you can't leave her alone for a second). I met up with Stalley in the back in the corner with his girl, took some shots. To my surprise Mickey was there with two girls I met back at the Venue.

After that we just bumped to some good music I took some shots for Mickey partying it up. Stalley decided to call it a night around 4 something, so we headed out and he left. I wanted to grub for real, so the girls wanted us to get something hot. Mickey said he had burgers and cake in the bag lol. He wanted to go back to his krib and just lounge there. I was mad hungry and just decided to call it a night and grab something and just go home. Dope show , dope night!

So go get Stalleys new mixtape "The Autobiography"! It's free for download right now! Will add the Link later something is wrong with this thing, so wait for a update on this blog.

Shout to my nigga Mickey Factz yo, told you I got you fam take these pics lol.

Sounding off your boy,

Which fictional character are you?


So a friend of mine were talking on the phone and she asked me what fictional character do I resemble the most. I have been in drama before , been in a couple of plays. I even played this character once, and I think I am close to this more than any other fictional character. I would be the JOKER I mean we both have these weird ways to look at things,find pleasure in maniacal chaos,spontaneous,scarred physically, a genius in their own right, and not scared of anything at all anymore.So that's my answer to that question. I mean I don't go to the extremes of genocide and homicide but those are capabilities of any man.By himself, you can be a murderer who doesn't mind making people cry or have no hope to live. Each man I think if pushed to the brink of insanity would be this way. Not really caring of being scared by the laws of man.

"Whatever doesn't kill you..makes you stranger"

I have done some things in my time on earth I am not surely proud of. I remember a time in my life when I was that kid everyone was afraid of. I have a short fuse and conducted myself in the worst way. Self destructive, righteous,vengeful,full of animosity. There was no way of telling me anything without your face being broken. The ego is huge, yes now it's just tons of confidence in ones self and abilities. But before it was just huge ego for no reason at all. My view on things were basically more twisted than the next person, I did things for the Ideal and not for superficial indulgence. Never being hypocritical in nature more of a natural killer of thoughts. The mind was a virtual virtuoso offering of candid explicit conversations of how the world was seen through my eyes.


"you wanna know how I got these scars?"


I also have been scarred physically by others out of jealousy. Not my fault they found my babyface to be something of a threat to them. So they basically tried to stop me from being a looker. It didn't stop me at all, I just grew even more confident after it. Because I can still grab what I want with ease and no one was gonna stop me. Violence was my answer to anything and everything also as a youth, I rather not talk about how many times I have fallen to that. The Joker is the closest thing I would be If I was a fictional character. Then again he is a psychopath who never dies and always ends up living. Batman never kills him, because that's what he wants! A romantic death to remember, and destroy the very being of what Batman is. This is where I don't equate lol to this characters ideologies. But there you go woman told you I would write a blog about it.


V for "It's all part of the plan"

for you Lebron.

Rivington Club Rippers


So after the Nike meeting I went to go check out my Alife fam. Today I guess is was like a extreme sports event. Chris Vidal if you don't know,is a avid skateboarder to the core that's what he is. So they shot the shit outside of the Alife street (which Rivington basically is) and got some work in on the boards. Kevin Clancy from Alife also a fellow photographer friend of mine loves bikes. I'm not talking Ninjas over here, I'm talking the ones the messengers ride on in new york. Well looks like Bike enthusiast came around Including my ol Chap "Trouble" who was around. I basically was taking pictures to just show how it's done in NY to a street level.

I mean this is what culture is about right? We all come from the streets in a sense. I am from the musical/artistic side of it, only sports I'm into are the three big ones. I captured "Hippy" doing ollies and well let me tell you something about this kid. Yo, he can land mad tricks and it sucks he doesn't have a deal! Dude is truly dopeness on that board of his. Afterward we all kicked in the backyard where Tommy,for some reason was chastised for buying a six pack. Good day, good times, shout to my Alife fam always showing love. MAD STALLEY SHOW TUESDAY MOFOS! I will be on stage taking flicks be there!










































Nike Meeting



Well I get invited to these Nike meetings all the time. Basically Nike reps want me to give them my opinion on their line up of products. I respect the fact that I keep what they show me or tell under wraps. It never leaks online or I don't ever take those hidden pictures some other people take. Today I met with some sportswear guys, cool people and class acts. They appreciate people like me, who really just are brutal and truthful to whatever products they are shelving out. I have seen some things I've have said in meetings, mind you (you are recorded all the time) It's always these ideas I come up with, always come to life.

All I can say is that I have waited my turn long enough, I have really earned my stripes. I know the consumer very well, hell I'm with them face to face everyday. I have accumulated a significant amount of data in my head to last the next ten years. I know the Kobe/Lebron heads, I know the running heads, I know the what needs to be retroed. I know from a marketing stand point what people wanna see and what they wanna feel when they touch a product or get excited by the story or inspiration from these shoes. I feel like I can leave to Oregon now, and just get it over with even in a lower tier marketing guy capacity. I am willing and able to do this, while still doing my other endeavors on the side. My passion is sometimes hated and loved, but in the end I am real and truthful and feel I am making the best out of these meetings.

V for what up O,Marcus,Will.

Happy Birthday Mom.


Mom you don't read English or even mess around with the Internet. You are far away, I am doing me to better our family. Since I always am the one on the move across this life, I have always been on my own. You have always loved me and supported me even if I am bad at times. I know I am a simple complex man and you are truly the center of my soul and I don't show it but that's because I need to focus on me right now. I love you more than words can even be read on this small little blog. You of all people know me the most, and you know how good of a person I truly am. Today I wanna thank you for being my mother and always loving , always being the provider to us as children, a good wife to your loving husband. So I made you a song to a beat, it's the best way I can give you a something new because you don't really need much. Just like me.....

G's up Produced by Pete Instrumental


I appreciate every moment you made me potent
first of all I would like for you to know your importance
I treat my momma like porcelain
Im glad she kept my family together I wasn't a orphan
As write this thousand miles away as a New Yorkan
as child she always was working hard
trying to get to America for a fresher start
you build one of the best of hearts
yeah from the spanish blood
and when she had me she said she finally knew what was greatest love
momma I swear I messed up but Imma make it up
I want you to live in comfort, So I'm trying to make that much
cafe con leche she would also make a cup
as a child momma fought for me in schools cuz I wasn't making cuts
unless it was on my face, making cuts
you was even there when I was on a table making cuts
Told me always wear a rubber when Im making love
you know I never lie at all,cuz you know I don't Im not for the making up
happy thoughts in my mind ,when I would reminisce
you can go ask yourself this!
I never needed presents at all you were my greatest gift
Mother is the name of god all over the world on childrens lips

Chorus
I love you Mami
you are not alone
even though I ain't in my home
I want you to know
you are still my inspiration to do what I do
and say what I say, chose what I choose
So don't be blue
You are living proof to me that dreams come true


put a whooping to me when I needed it
always made a perfect meal every evening It felt like we was eating in
she watch soap operas
taught me that Spanish that was so proper
she knew when she had me I was a lil different, she called me show stopper
make my tie cuz I didn't know how tie one
and she still get gully cuz she know where Im From
cuz even momma knows "please dont mess around with our son"
cuz if you even talked back to my momz, the bat here it comes
She raised me well so don't get the wrong view
my first four words as a baby was "Momma I love you"
I wish a had million and buy you anything you want
you the only woman that deserves every single thing I copped for you and flaunt
we will take a vacations in the gulf, never grabbed a club but you can play the golf
sunshine sunshine like the rays were hitting my face
whats mines is yours so your good on the things I make
you also understands there's a lot of risk in this world that I take
forever there even after all the heartbreak
and serve purpose to my faith, smile on your face I would always partake
you are third, second and first place
a angel surfaced and momma blow them candles happy birthday

Chorus

you put me in front of the stage ,never was I back up
I can make you smile even when it was hard for you not to crack up
women come and go, but you told me to stay away from the hoes
stay on my tippy toes
keep your cards in front of you and don't tell people what they don't have to know
good advice, and sometimes I didn't take it
kicked me on my ass when I was feeling complacent
or when I was younger you kicked me out cuz you couldn't take it
I thank you for that momma I learned life lessons on that pavement
tough love in the rarest form
I hope you in the balcony smiling at me when I perform
and see that your son can really muster up a storm
and people love me and come to see me by the swarms
even my flow has etched in it our family coat of arms
Queen of my heart, Torch of my soul
for you I will surpass and finish my goals
till you retired somewhere with a fence up front lawn
and you can just sit back on the patio and listen to my songs
Trust me beside you I will always stand by
why would I waste my breath on these words and lie
I can't wait to hug you and see those big beautiful hazel eyes.

I love you mom.

your son

Rob

AKA Vulkan the Krusader....

Happy Birthday. see you soon don't worry I got this.

EL-P - The Overly Dramatic Truth



This song is so close to my situation.
Lyrics

I became for you what you had asked,telepath
you're too young ,to ask outloud
I'm too old and I know that
I can talk like you've not heard
I know weapons
you think words I exposed you to these terms
you still chose to roll unheard
that could work but
not so fast
you're so open
I'm so crass
I'm to weak to hold that back
you still think intrigue will last
you can't imagine of my past
I just can't explain all that
I wish I could trade you're place
so romantic full of faith
I must spare you
I must learn
I refuse to be your first
first to put you in your place
first to make you speed your pace
I'm a man now (good or bad)
you're a girl still, (good for you)
don't think this don't make me sad
this is something I must do

Hook:
keep your own time (leave me be)
trying to spare you (trying to be)
god melodic (man on fire)
coward long gone (all desire)
fuck you raw now (it's my fault)
fuck you raw dog (I can't stop)
should have listened
should have left
I can't stop unless you jet
it's so simple...open head
I will knit my savage thread
help me help you (walk away)
leave this un-amazing grace
you don't know you from pure disgrace
you still think I'm here to save
I'm not even really here
I can't give what I can't take

what a ride
what a slide under the door
what a score
you think I'm a genius?
I know I'm a whore
what a time
what a climate for our lives
what's in store?
you see live forever
all I see is war
I will pull your hair back
fuck you on the floor
pour myself into the act
poor myself (boo hoo I'm bad)
cause I know that these moments end
but telling you the truth is sad
you deserve the ignorance and bliss that I still wish I had
don't you let me keep you here
don't ignore my greatest fear
I need you to not need me
you need not believe just flee
I will put myself in side you
find some way to run and hide you
I can't be responsible
do as I say, not as I do

Hook

this is not my ego talking
I know I'm no perfect draw
and I do love the way you lay there
and I do like the way we talk
maybe I'm just condescending
maybe this thing isn't wrong
maybe you should lay right there
put your hands up in the air

Hook

you still think I'm here to save?

Vulkan Women Vol. II


Aight so some things have been going on behind the scenes with me and other girls at this moment. I don't wanna blow their spots up but like I said I gotta be truthful with myself in these situations. I don't sugarcoat anything at all when it comes to this and I blog my life and the truth to showcase human trial and error. So I have some new people in my life as well but they are coming at me the wrong way. I mean I just got out some fucked up situation with a female lying and leaving for some cat on some dumb shit. So what do you expect? So this is for a select few people that have been kicking things in my ear and why I have acted they way I have.

To shorty number one.

Look I didn't put you in my blog because I see many people stalk this thing and see what hot piece of ass I'm with now. You'll be hounded by days end when I do, cats nowadays on that e-holla is on some wack shit. Trust me It's not cuz I don't like you It's just that I don't think you want that attention and can't handle that type of atmosphere. Other people on this blog seem to get some and pretended they didn't like it, wrong! They get big headed and think they some big thing or something. Also I'm sorry, I can't feel you right now on some real shit. It's not in my zone right now, I know girls get offended when a dude puts the brakes to her and shes like "WTF is wrong with this dude". Every girl has a ego, even the last one was surprised that I really don't give a damn how hot you are. See there's breast and ass for days in the world that's what I know. You think I'm gonna bow down to you because your body is a hourglass and you feel like I'm dissing you? Naw, shorty it's just me and my feelings and the zone I am right now. I don't want a relationship and just came out some horrible mess. So excuse a brother if that is not in his best interest, also I don't just jump in another one to forget about the last one or to sub what I had before. That's just some fake BS, girls know what I want , Im up front.

Shorty number 2, yes you, from BK.

With you, I told you I cut you off because you are just some girl that thinks sex is a promise. Sex is just sex when no emotion and just for the sake of animal urge or impulse it's done to let out some stress. You took it like we was getting married or something of that nature. Sorry I only have made love to to four females in my life, everyone else it's just sex and protected at that. I don't know why in NY you girls be on that "take the condom off" thing. Yall crazy only people Im in a relationship get that, and to be honest I only done it twice with someone but that went to waste. But listen just take the L and understand where I am coming from.

Shorty number 3. Yes draft pick you.

I dig your situation and yes I cut you off because I was talking to someone and building a relationship. Yes that's why I told you we can't talk no more because I didn't wanna be unfair and fake to the piece of shit that fucked me over. Yes I told you to stop hitting me up because I felt her and you would just make things difficult if you came in the picture. I like focusing on one person if it's some real shit, so excuse me for being respectful to my situation. I could have you as a friend but you were hell bent on destroying the person at the moment. I couldn't have you do that to her, that's uncalled for to her and why were you so psycho? In the end it was all for granted but you came on some, Imma kill her shit, that's a little too much for me.

Shorty Number 4. The Loser.

I can't vibe with you cuz you really don't have nothing going on in your life. You just wanna get by with your awesome looks and get all the attention you can from men. So when I stopped giving that you as well as I did to others. You wanna be a hateful person and call me names and talk all this shit about me.Look, everyone in soho knows you can get any dude, but guess what? So can any fat chick! If a fat girl goes in the middle of a street and saids "FUCK ME!" you don't think some dudes are gonna pay attention. Come on now? Think about that, you have the same body parts just bigger densities and larger shapes. To me yall broads get gassed off yourselves and forget that personality,trust,friendship,loyalty, all are traits I have to see in you to even talk to you in that manner. Your looks are dope shorty, keep doing you but I sure won't look your way anymore.

Shorty number 5. DUBAI GOODBYE

Yo, real talk she was intimidated by you before I came to NY. I was looking so forward to hanging out with you. I thought we had a lot in common, and you just disappeared, when that happened it set up what went down with me and that other person. I was feeling you , yes I was, I can't front on that. I hope you didn't do anything stupid because I found out the truth about what happened in Florida. Man, I hope you are alright and just are somewhere ok, I don't even know if you are alive. Everything online you have no trace and you just vanished into thin air. I didn't do anything to you but real talk hopefully your somewhere drinking a nice bottle of something just kicking back and enjoying life. The depression passes it's just a phase where your mind is just closed off to opportunity just like mine is right now. I understand if you needed "me" time but just hit me with a text letting me know you are ok and everything is good. I kinda miss talking to you...but hey that's life.

Shorty number 6. Nicole

Yo, why did you hit me up at 5:39 am and didn't say anything on the phone and just listened to me speak. Well you know I love you, you little bastard and I see you running shit in college. I always will have your back no words or tons of words we could always exchange. But we are another story, lol, your my bodyguard to ward off those other hoes I was fucking around with when I was in my phase. The past year I stopped that lifestyle took some time but I stopped it, because I don't believe in that calling me a "pimp" thing. I was a hoe bottom line and there's no way around it. REAL TALK.

So I took it out, on some females out here after my little fiasco with the lying chick. That's what men like me do, It's not good but I do it anyways. I did it on purpose too, which is just idiotic. But check it I caught myself with my faults and fess up to them. I don't hide it I don't make some alternate reality where I am some dude covering up his mistakes to make it seem like I am always right. NO this is real, this is me, and guess what if your not living in reality your borderline insane right now. Face your faults, it's better I accept all my errors the last two months and It feels great knowing that the liars go down and I just keep spilling my heart on this matter.

V for Vulkan Women Vol. III soon.

P.S. Shorty number 1...I would date you but..not right now lemme do me first.
