I wanna rock. Not in a 'Twisted Sister' kinda way, but I want something L O U D. I NEED NOISE.
I wish my man, Chris Cornell, didn't ever leave Soundgarden. I really miss that band. They were so bad-ass, yo. I remember meeting them before I really knew who they were. They were in town to open for Skid Row or someone when 'Louder Than Love' had come out. The girlfriend I had at the time was into them, as was my friend, Mookie (he eventually sold me on them by saying they kinda sounded like Led Zeppelin. He knew that was an easy way to get me to listen. I'm glad I did.)
I never saw them play, perhaps I will get the chance one day.
Let's get these rocks off, man...I went off on some ol' 'Alley Cat' shit for this one.

I put together a bed of blended instrumentals; mostly loops. Then I overdubbed scratch tracks, so as to give the mix a bit of a narrative. I felt the need to work on my scratching a bit and it's a great way to work out whatever is on my mind and in my hands.
I put everything into the Music. I guess that is what this mix is about. Even when you don't see me posting mixes or talking about Songs, believe that I am working on the Music. Every day, I do something to better myself as a Artist. Every day, I am reading, writing, creating, or listening to something or someone that will make me better at what I do.
There's no playlist...the entire mix consists of breakbeats, loops, scratching, and blending; the essentials. It's my first attempt at something like this. I hope you enjoy it. I know I feel better. Some of it may be a bit profane, so I suppose I should tell you that if you are at work or there are children around, you might wanna use your headphones.
This is some other shit...

I've had a really rough day. My emotions have gone full-circle. I'm kinda hurting right now. I just know that there is someone I can't help. I would've done anything for my friend, but I can't be a part of whatever this is anymore.
It ain't right and you and I know it. My heart is cracked. I don't know what to do other than play my Music. And what is really funny is...all the benefits of all the doubts I gave you. I feel so dumb. I know I am not. That's why it hurts.
I won't be a part pf this anymore.
Everybody's gotta learn sometime....
...killed too many people I Love. Won't kill me. Won't watch it kill nobody else.
Naivete is one of the hardest things to lose. Realizing you're not stupid makes you feel dumb. It's hurts, it burns.
A Hard Lesson, but a lesson most definitely learned.

Big up to J. Brookinz for reminding me how good this Music is. He went with a 'Blaxploitation' theme for the Producer Battle at Scribble Jam - Indy. Y'all know about me and them themes. I grew up on these records and films, dude. You know there is a rich history there.)
Check out the final round of the producer battle right here...
J. BROOKINZ vs. WHOISLOUIS. Somebody hit these dudes up for beats now before it gets too costly.
I've had a playlist in my iTunes called 'Pimps, Players, Private Eyes, and Hustlers' for a long time. It's kinda set up like these mixes, where the interludes would play and you can kinda set a scene. I just LOVE the way a lotta these records were recorded, too. They always sound right to me, even when they are somewhat iffy/dodgy quality-wise (I ain't mad at ya, Dolemite; I have wanted that soundtrack ever since the first time I saw that film.)
You can't hear anything funky there, but whatta GREAT CLIP, MAN. "There's nothin' in my trunk, MAN." "You gonna hafta TAKE ME!"

I like big bass and I cannot lie. Not all that bass you hear coming from kids driving down the street...I mean, 'Boomp buh buh boomp buh boomp boom' bass. "Wiiiiiind me UP-ah!" bass. My Dad taught me the diffrerence between it and the guitar.
All these songs just sound 'plump' to me. They all sound like you would naturally hum the bassline/keyboard-line. Keytars and stuff. YEAH. And most of them counter that with a big ol FAT slappin' snare. 'Roller Skating Jams', man...and a little of my own idea of what 'PhatFat' is.
Dazz Band - 'Let It Whip' a.k.a. 'Bo Bohmp BAAW...BAWWW daww'
This is a backwards skate...you get the idea. Just touching on some thick funk and other goodies with that cool bottom!
