ESCAPISM PT.1

My first memory of escapin was hip hop. It always took me away from my state of being and cirucumstance. Music in general(if a record player wuz a ipod - I would ve had one at the age of 3!) has had a big affect in my life and my perspective on life. Music made it easy to explain myself even if I wuz listenin to Too Short(forgive me 4 my sins ladies) to Steely Dan. Headphones also play a big part becuz they are so intimate - dependin if you got a good pair! I could always slip away for hours and close my eyes and imagin Mary J Blige singin "My Life"(The Whole Album frum start 2 finish) just to me. Your even n a greater zone if you got your favorite drink and 4:20 hits the clock- but thats pt.2 and 3!!! If U remember Big Pooh frum Little Brother sayin something along the lines of "Drinkin Peach Schnappes, Gettin his headphones and dosing off 2 Pete Rock", I can remember dissecting his beats thru headphones and understandin the method of filtering and using albums made in stereo (Using the left or right mix of the beat-(Panning)...shhh!). Music helps u prepare ur day, it motivates you even when u r at the lowest, it can spark a riot in otherwords....It can bring CHANGE!!- uz blackfolkz got thru a many day in the fieldz off a song! Swing Down Sweet Chariot Stop And Let Me Ride!!!!!!
