Hahaha

I actually laughed out loud at that shit. Comedy.

[Blake9]

Kids...

Grow up.

[rocksanddirt]

Yeah dude! yeah!

Dude on a serious moment... whether or not you like/agree with the music Blake9 puts out, you gotta respect someone who dedicates so much energy into their work.
I think its awesome when published artists come here and post with the rest of us yknow? I can only imagine the ridicule you must set yourself up for when youre releasing new and original work... and people are like 'Mad squirrel'?
Keep doin your thing Blake. Im gonna go check out some of your tracks. :o

[Blake9]

I respect your words and kind insight. I mean, I love what I'm doing, don't get my wrong. I work a day job, I live in an apartment I pay rent in, I'm a huge fan of music and a hard worker. I just happen put music out, but I am just like everyone here, a human being. A lot of people talk about making a song our album or putting out a record. The difference is I manifest it. Still, a very small portion of what you have to do to try to make it.

I'm cool with all of you. I can laugh at the jokes and shit is funny, but in some respects, it is frustrating, because if I met any of you outside of this board we'd probably be good friends. I wouldn't get roasted.

It's all fun and it's all hip hop. I'm just glad to be here.

[twisted_harmonix]

freal tho, i'm not dissin the music, just thought the names were kinda interesting. it could be the tightest shit on earth for all i know.

but what i'm really lookin forward to is that new up and coming female artist they got on their label... miss beaver, and her new joint "sittin on wood".

[Blake9]

It is interesting.

Thanks for listening.

[Mad Squirrel]

I think I've got an August show coming up in Charleston West Virginia.

[Blake9]

SQ, let me know when. Maybe I can meet you. I'm open all weekends except the Aug 5 (Comel will be in town) and the 13th I'm caught up too. But, let me know.
