whew...
so, like, i cleaned out my room...i took all of the crap out of my drawers and all the stuff i don't need...and filled up a jumbo trash bag to the brim. it isn't until you look back at all the stuff you have kept for the past four years, all the stuff that you've written, it isn't until then when you realize how much a geek you really are. it was funny...i don't know why i kept ninety-nine percent of the stuff i threw away...what was really funny was reading all the notes that i'd passed in high school (i didn't throw those away). the old journals were funny to read. looking at all the old pictures was also funny...seeing the faces of girls i used to date...i still look weird. oh well...i saved more things than i thought i would...but, i threw away a lot of stuff as well. my room is finally clean!
not that i really matters, but for those who are looking for an innovative hip-hop group, listen to n-e-r-d, if you haven't started listening to them already. it's basically the neptunes, the hot producing team behind a lot of the hip-hop, pop, and rock songs you've heard on the radio...the different sounding songs. their album in search of... is awesome. it was pulled off of shelves promptly after it's first release to completely re-do the album. initially, the album was done with all electronic instruments...drum machines, synthesizers for guitars, etc.,...it would've sounded like every other hip-hop album. but, when it was re-released, the album was re-done with the band spymob to back the tracks. the live instrumentation is awesome...it's an album that rides that hybrid border between hip-hop and rock, but in a good way (unlike limp bizkit--i think that they're boring, just my opinion).
the point i'm getting at is that hip-hop has a lot of hope for survival...with groups like n-e-r-d and the roots implementing live bands to back the lyrics, it opens different doors for creativity. in a time where hip-hop can seem un-creative and lacking innovation...it's great to hear bands like these garner some sort of popularity.
yeahh...okay...i'm done for now. i turn 19 next thursday. woo-who.
