up writing

so i know i keep saying the [DEF] is done and yall must be thinking well where is it then? sorry. i'm so picky. and its the worst with my own music. i keep listening to it and thinking: is this enough? i mean, it seems like i get nothing but good reviews but still... i wont let that hold me back or prolong it tho. it is definitely a solid project! i just want to evoke the best i can out of myself. so just as insider intel, i'll say that i have a few tracks on it over industry beats. i mean, its not usually my thing to do that. i'm more of a do it from scratch type but sometimes u just got to show that u can spit. particular one i'm working on now is such a hard beat! rediculous... and u never want to get done in by the beat or the person who did it before you. thats not a good look. so i just hope and pray yall will feel this and follow me... the wait will be worth it

new time table *uzoy update*

i've realized that i've been absent from the blogspot lately. i apologize first of all. life just taking its course is all. but i was talking to the homie L'davoice of H.I.S.D. briefly today and he told me what already knew but didnt take action on. I HAVE TO GET BETTER AT MY TIME MANAGEMENT! my education takes a big chunk out of my freetime but i can still fit things in here and there.

so now to take a step in the right direction, i have created for myself a list of dates for the [DEF]inition. but i will NOT put them out! lol. its not a great idea to put release dates out when ur doing things extra solo dolo. realistically i'm going to have to release my projects on my time. not the answer most people want or what i even want but that is my reality.

on a lighter note, seems like those that do hear my material are really feeling it! thank God! *big relieved sigh* been talkin to quite a few Houston folks out here. i'm on a journey to find believers! can only wonder how far i would be if i was doing the music thing full time.

hmmmmm...

guess i wont know that for now. just going to keep pushing forward...my new outlook on life

Great Feeling

people are all hating on music and what people are coming out with but right now, i think the current state of music isnt bad at all. of course, thats without considering whats on the radio.

but i recently got this new Trey Songz "Ready" and Kid Cudi's "Man on the Moon". and listening to these 2 records, it reminds me of when i was in highschool listening to Usher's "Confessions" and Kanye West's "College Dropout" at the same time. It really gave me a wave of inspiration and thats how i'm feeling now really.

you know, people hate on cudi and its whatever. i dont care what the dude is wearing cuz fact of the matter is that he dresses fresher than most people that talk down on him. but his and trey songz talent isnt one that can be denied.

if you dont have either album, you're cheating yourself!

Up Thinking...

recently, been alot of drama. for about a year or 2 now. i'm really not feeling all the negativity. and i gotta take some blame for it because i let it get as far as it is instead of letting people feel like they "won". i'm just not the type to let someone walk all over me or disrespect me. but sometimes you just have to be the mature party. i've decided that thats what i'll do from here on out. i've grown tired of the back and forth. no matter what i do, i have figured that it will never be over. well, i figure that if i dont entertain it, it shall cease. so now, let it be written. i'm focused on UZOY and UZOY alone. these other rappers/commentators are irrelevant on my trip to success. and others claim the same thing so we'll just see how true that is when they never get a response despite all the shots they throw.

new music!

well, not quite. but i do have some written freestyles and things that i have in the works. that will be done very shortly. and for the first time, i believe i will put the track on my blog for free download. i think i just need to start giving stuff away for free. i really decided that most people know i can write a song and majority of the people are feeling them. but i also want people to know i can just spit without the beat supporting me along the way. so, i will update that soon! until then, uzoy out!

laziness has overcome...

I've been back in Houston from my brief break from school and i cant lie....I'm not doing anything productive. I'm on xboxlive most of the day because I never play it during the semester. Trying to take advantage of the opportunity but I'm going to come back strong for yall in a second...

YOoooooooooooooooooooo

I just came up with a name for my music group. If you know a little bit about my background, I used to roll with the name of Street Pharm. But there was alot of things I went thru with the people that were in that with me and I'm not down for that name no more. But I'm not going to announce what the new one is. sorry if you thought i was. lol. it is a common phrase though (thats your only hint)...but, i feel like it captures how i feel and what i rep. i'll release what it is when i have it all legal. might not be that long from now...

what happened!?

where are all the super dope producers at? like, it seemed like when i was broke and just starting this stuff, i could find all the dope beats in the world and i just couldnt afford them. now that i can or we can work out some sort of deal, nobody is really making beats that are getting me in the zone. i've been forced to produce some things for myself lately. which is not bad because it sharpens my skills but i also like to see what other people bring to the table. sheesh! lol

its been a minute...

its been awhile since i updated i know. just in a transition stage right now. you'll see what i'm talking about when everything is finalized. but on something i can disclose, i got this track i'm working on! ITS FIZIYAH! lol. and i will have it ready for ya'll via my blog, myspace, and probably imeem. so be on the lookout peoples!

DEVIN THE DUDE SHOW

IT WAS OFF THE CHAIN! lol. Nah, but the show went great man. Real good turnout. The place was super packed. I had the chance to chop it up with Devin for a quick second. He was tryna get fresh. lol. he's real cool tho. He killed the show. But let me say, if you ever go to a Devin the Dude show, now that you will engulfed in weed smoke. lol. my eyes were burning all night from it and when i got off stage my throat was hurting from inhaling it all. lol. but apart from that, it was super dope!!!!! got pics that will be on the way soon...

Price of Fame?

I've been thinking about this lately. As an artist, I want to share my music with the world and I want people to accept it and love it. But with all those hopes and dreams comes this type of nonsense and to tell you the truth, I dont like having that kind of attention. I really dont like to be the center of attention. I rather blend in while standing out. if that makes sense....but, if this is the path that I choose to take and i'm fortunate to be blessed to have my ability, i'll just have to take it all in stride.

Finally got some new games!

These games are old. lol. But i got em so they kinda new to me. I recently got an xbox, well, for christmas. but i didnt have no games before really but i have rockband2 and grand theft auto IV. i'm late. but i'm happy :)

by the way, gamertag is AutomaticUzoy

grrrrrrrrrrrrr. this irks my nerves!

i had to block who it was but i thought this wasnt cool at all. anybody who really checks with me has seen my myspace and you know that this is my background. but someone found it fit to use my stuff and call it there's. no respect is given with that type of stuff. if you want dope stuff for urself, drop some cash. dont be cheap. u'll get nowhere by jockin. then on the sides my name was erased. and i deliberately wanted that on the side because i didnt want anybody to steal my stuff, BUT it was still done. this was wack and this person lost cool points (if those are still distributed). points can be gained back if they take it off their blog. i already notified them. but this has me a lil pissed... i mean, i appreciate the support by having my song in the playlist but homie, dont jock! ugh!

i'm a tad bit difficult

i've been peeping myspace pages...there are people out there that can rap. i mean, i've heard quite a few people that got a pretty good flow BUT wiggidy wiggidy wack songs! and i love people saying that they love my lyrics and all that. But I think I like it more for people to say they love a song or it moved them. i take pride in my music as an art. i am an artist. that creates art through music. at some point in a rappers life, you have to realize that "you can rap". ok. you keep doing freestyles trying to prove that you can. whats next? if you cant get your thoughts and ur dope rhymes across in song format, you havent done your job as an artist. it kind of irks me when someone says they can rap and they're super ill but they admit that they cant write a hook. its ur job. i mean, at least if you're trying to be more than a freestyle rapper or something. so please, if ur tryna get to the next level, MAKE SONGS, not ONLY freestyles. but, this is only my opinion of course...

The Real World Brooklyn

Lets be real. Real World Brooklyn? Brooklyn? There is 1 black person. There's nothing real about that at all. I don't know if I can watch this season. I like the Real World New York from a long time ago when they had like 3 black people on it. MTV was wrong for that casting. They needa have a variety of races on there. That would be WAYYY more interesting.

Lame ass niggas!!!!

This is not how you get at somebody on myspace. I get so many messages from people with regular myspace pages like this.

He sent me this message this morning.

"hey whats up ?? i dont know if you remember me hittin you up from my music page . but i wanted to see if we could possible work together in the future ..please keep in mind that i feel me and you have a lot in common in our music style...but the problem is my page dosent really reflect that yet .ya see i posted a few freestyles cause peeps was buggin me to hurry and post something. so i posted freestyles but when i freestyle i rhyme about drinkin,ass and cars...but when i write im more introspective and thought provoking .i just havent got a chance to get some of those professinally recorded and posted....anyway i hope you see some potential and will consider us working together on future mixtapes or whatever ....1"

This nigga comes at me like a groupie nigga. I cant help you dude. You cant record professionally but i should take you in like a hiphop halfway house? Get da f*ck outta here! If you're going to start off a message, "I dont know if you remember me", i probably dont. I have TOO many friends on myspace to remember each and every message. i'm not on some big headed shit right now either. I just dont remember you nigga. But uh, I'm on myspace now looking for a singer so any message that doesnt have to do with that is second priority right now. If i get a message about a singer, i will respond right then. messages like this, i will respond to later. But i'll get back at you. if i dont, i just missed ya. my bad. aint like i'm trying to forget anybody. But this needy ass nigga comes back strong in a message this afternoon

"bitch thats real funny how you cry over the fact no one messages your ass then when i message you with some real shit ..you just read it and toss it to the side but you know what we gon see about that shit you dumbass hoe"


You know, I was wrong. Dude was right. His message was filled with so much "real shit". lol. I just couldnt see it though [sarcasm]. I'm not developing no artist over here. U needa come out tryna talk to people when you're nice already. This also allows for you to get crazy respect. Dont give me excuses why this and that. Find a way. I did. I cant even call dude a hater either. Cause he obviously likes my music. This is comedy to me. People, dont approach me like I can do something for you. I cant do more than a feature for you and i cant do it for free either unless we work something out! I just find it funny that niggas get their feelings hurt so easily. Ugh! Like Wale said, "Sensitive niggas neva know how to take shit"

New Year, New Focus, New Goals

Sooooo....its been a minute!!!! I know, i know. Like, dang, where have i been huh? Well, I was caught in finals at my school for a minute. I actually made the Dean's List too. (i'm kind of smart. lol) But now that that is over, Christmas came and I got my ass an XBOX 360. i was stuck on saints row 2 for a second. beat the game though. well, kinda. but in between all this, i havent forgotten about the music. i can announce that the [def] is done! i'm working on the next project now and working on putting the def out correctly. no half steppin! i'll be recording throughout this week and i MIGHT put something new on the page. Or...a link to the file for download on zshare or something. i'll announce that tho. so no new stuff from the def. if i post something, it'll be from my next project. One of my resolutions for this year is to have 2 solid projects among some other things available. I'm really focused right now so hollerz.....

the term "swag"

"swag" has been taken and misconstrued! i'm tired of everyone saying they have such a nice swag and such. it needs to be retired chillin next to "bling" and "jiggy" lol . half these niggas talkin bout swag have none. and it keeps being the name of songs and such. its lost its usefulness. stop saying swag so much when its not needed! its frickin annoying! ugh!

so i listened to 808's and Heartbreak...

um, Kanye, I've been juked. It kinda wasnt jamming at all. I'm disappointed. But in my opinion. This isnt a real album from Kanye. i think this is the result of the recent things that happened in his life. i think he should have made it a mixtape tho. but basically, best songs were "Heartless", "Coldest Winter", and "Love Lockdown". "See you in my nightmares" wasnt too bad either. and you already heard those. the others kinda make you wonder. they might grow on me but for the first listen, i'm not feelin it. but i'm just really anticipating his next album. i think things are going back to normal then. like, kanye has to come back as a beast! cuz watever he does, people tend to follow. i dont want people to follow this too much...

my thoughts on b.o.b.'s mixtape

um.....nice...really, i was shocked. he's really on some other stuff. i downloaded it and put it on my iPod so I was listening to it on the way to class and stuff. my fav song so far is "Wait your turn" he definitely killed that. i was feeling the production on most songs also. anyways, kudos to b.o.b.
