Welcome To The Machine/WWAR Future Radio Vol.3

Ever flick thru channels and come across a series of stations that looks like nothings happening. It appears that there's some sort of hearing, a routine session in the House of Representatives. Routine or not, shit is going down!

Welcome To The Machine/WWAR Future Radio Vol.2

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...well the same goes for nature. Since the beginning of time, violence has been one of the main attributes of man. It has been embedded in our DNA. To some it's the last resort, for many it's the only way expression can be manifested. Like art for instance, music and movies. Music can transcend, the message can bring forth energy you've never felt before, for some it's the soundtrack for a moment that can never be taken back. Scenes from movies feeds one's curiosity but it's up to one's mental capacity to carry on certain actions. Humans are the greatest teachers known on this planet but yet we never build to benefit. The countless events reported of war, murder, robbery, rape, kidnappings, and gang violence has become the modern day slay of man, a cousin to AIDS. The real question is: What makes you so different? Not to be funny but unless you have a whole new way, because once enter that "cycle" there is no turning back...The odds are completely against you. Enough with the rambling...as we continue on, here are the sounds of François Xavier seizing the moment...

Bottom Line...

The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was one of the first programmable drum machines ("TR" serving as an initialism for Transistor Rhythm). Introduced by the Roland Corporation in late 1980, it was originally manufactured for use as a tool for studio musicians to create demos. In the mid-to-late 1980s, years after the TR-808 was discontinued, its sound again became popular, in part due to its kick drum sound, which could produce a very deep sub-bass. By the end of the 1980s, the TR-808 was popular within electronic music and hip-hop genres. As with many analogue electronic musical instruments, a great deal of effort has been put into sampling the sounds of the TR-808 for use in modern devices; however, due to the nature of analog circuitry, the result is often considered unsatisfactory and can sound unduly static and digital. Demand for the real 808 sound is so great that street prices for a used TR-808 are actually higher than the cost of a new TR-808 was upon its initial release in 1980. One of the machine's earliest mainstream hits in the United States was on Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing". That's interesting.......

Heartbreak: n. Overwhelming sorrow, grief, or disappointment. When encountered , is definitely considered a human trait....correct???

It's one thing to have an opinion based on having a clear view and understanding for this opus and not feeling it but respecting it, but to judge this based on the title or what this artist has done in the past or better yet, your control drama.....

Just admitted it, you're not ready.
It's just how I see it.

Welcome To The Machine Vol.1

"The rap game is upside down like David Blaine/You fans is Time Square for following those lames"- Pusha T

"I have not invented a "new style," composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds. Remember that Jeet Kune Do is merely a name used, a mirror in which to see "ourselves". . . Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that."-Bruce Lee

A true gem from one the founding members of the Committee, OG Bruce lee. Here's a true comparison to this theory: Wasn't "Hip Hop" (Now the Rap Game) created with the same intentions???..........Be Water my friend.

30 Days until the Winter Solstice.......Please be advised.
