Music Video from Pariah

I'm posting a link to my new video for "Science of Combat." I remember back in 2006 when I completed the album, always wanting to do a video for the theme track and never getting to it. I had a lot of things I probably should have been doing, but the feeling really gripped me to get this done, as it's the 10 year mark since I first started. It's cool to see how far I've come, and how my work holds up.

Music Purchases and Artist Support

I just wanted to stop by here to leave a specified Facebook note. This is to address what some might not be familiar with when it comes to the music industry, and my material. I’ve been involved with music at a serious level for close to 10 years. My first copyrighted album “Pariah” was released in September of 2006. But I don’t count that as the start of my serious work. I did what could be called more like “promo” work from that point until about late 2009, after I went to school, and when I began networking with producers and technicians to work on future projects. Pariah was a good and passionate album, but I wouldn’t push it at this point, as a professional release. I got professional backing on “The Turning Point,” “I Don’t Believe in Rome,” and “If.” While I had numerous other works, they weren’t professional releases. On the “Magnum Opus” series, I launched official campaigns and had professional teams come in and tighten it all up. The process is exhaustive.

  The other day I was reading some of the lyrics from Alessia Cara, who’s single, “Here,” along with Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” is becoming the most overplayed pair of songs I’ve heard in my life. I really appreciated the effort that went into the lyrics and production for the songs, but I must admit, I was ready to bash them for the over exposure. Then I read about how much footwork Alessia put in, at her young age to get the work in and to the point she’s at, and I could relate instantly. I had to respect that. I said in an interview that I did recently, that I would love to work most of all on a collab with David Bowie because of his creativity. This was about 1 or 2 days before he died. I watched people bash what they thought were filler tracks on his last album, “Black Star.” When I sat back and thought about it, I said, “This dude was dying of cancer the entire time he made the record.” Yet, there are people who find the album meaningless.
  People sometimes don’t know how much work goes into putting together music projects. Even I made some mistakes in the past. After several months, my last album is about to be on Itunes. It took so much money and effort to get to this point. When you see someone with a music project that they are presenting professionally, give them a chance and an ear, whether it’s me or anyone else. Listening is so important. Never think that because you don’t know them, or because you know them personally from somewhere in either school or work, or because they’re a Triple A star, that work didn’t go into that project like any other. Please support these projects just like you would your friend who’s a tax preparer, or barber. These are professional pieces. David Bowie didn’t just make filler tracks. No one knows how much sweat and blood went into that last record.

Racial Idiocy



I'm extremely disgusted with the current face of stupid, backwards, and scared racism in America. Today, they are more pathetic than they have ever been. It's like I said and observed years ago, when 50 cent revitalized the gangster rap movement. The people immitating him and idolizing him, were worse and more erratic than he was by far. The reason is that people don't know how to properly immitate. So they do the few things that stand out to them, to the extreme to compensate. Many people in school at that time, would walk around, starting  beefs and altercations, even sometimes with firearms, thinking that its exactly how he would behave, when as I've said countless times, a real gangster moves when necessary, not to demonstrate how tough his wishes he was.
 That example is a very small one, as it didn't reach the expansive level that white racism has. When I see these offspring, they are like sick and retarded, inbred vermin. They are retarded and misguided children who have no idea why they act like they do. They've told themselves that it endears them to their brethren and forefathers. I was talking to a friend of mine who notices it too and experiences it according to him. The problem is that nobody speaks on the deep aspect of it. Yeah, we acknowledge racist behavior, but it usually just ends there.



 Its amazing how stupid these people are willing to look, to do what they think is elite. They don't know a thing about me. What their beady disgusting, animalistic eyes see from a distance, makes them group me and quickly revert into thier fearful idiotic behavior. I was watching the Geraldo episode with the racists the other day- the one with the riot. The thing about that episode was that I gathered something about white racists. In the end, they are a scared people, who feel threatened by the crowding out from minorities. It has been a fear for many years. It has been discusses several times in public forums.  What do you hear as far as terminology in a coloquial sense though? They are the majority in the US and other major countries. Also, if you noticed, like I brought out in a recent blog post, today you see far more non-white minorities than ever before, who identify as pure whites, and are accepted, as long as they join the cause. Some of the minorities on that same Geraldo episode are among them.

  But I could also understand some of what the Neo Nazi's were saying on the episode. Not that I agree with them in principle, but I can respect some things about them, that completely differ from the racists I've come in contact with in the New York area. You see, the Neo Nazi's would in large part be disgraced by these people. If you go into the history books, you'll see that there were documented and photographed meetings between Marcus Garvey, who was black as night, and White Supremacists groups during his "Back to Africa" campaign. Why? Another question for you to ask yourself if you are uninformed. That's because, those groups have always been about instilling pride in their people. If they agree on a point with a minority, they have no problem voicing it. The educated ones don't lunge into violent and scared behavior the minute they see a black. They know, and anyone with sense knows, that it's only a sign of fear, incompetence, and weakness. You don't show any superiority by doing that. The idiots I've come into contact with go into convulsions when a black enters the room. No matter what, when you flip that around, I've never seen even the most racist black get that flustered when a white is around. Why? Because apparently one has something or somethings to fear, while the other doesn't. Those aren't assumptions. Do the math in your head and use sense. Why wouldn't that be the face. Have you ever seen someone break into a sweat and shiver when they gain control of a tense situation. Never even once have you.

Another problem too, is that as a society, we give these filthy animals way too much of a pass. I don't mean a pass in being a racist, but a pass in there being some legitimacy to their claims of superiority. It's like Donald Trump said about his opponent, there is plenty of subject matter to counter that stupid claim. We often mindlessly treat them like the old person in our office who we have to flatter for the sake of respect. But when that person crosses a line, it has to be addressed. They hate for a reason. That's the bottom line. For some reason, that hatred is focused on blacks. Ask yourself why. Really ask yourself why. If I enslaved a race, and see them as inferior, and they've never been in position to be anything but beneath my boot, what cause would I have to still have a seething hatred of them? You see, nobody seems to ask that question. Everyone just assumes there are just legitimate claims they have to superiority. The claims of higher intellect- debunked. The claims of better physical skill- debunked. The claims of better strategic thinking- debunked. These myths were put in place for a reason. Throughout history, these same biggots have covered up inventions, theories, sciences, and even the existence of blacks throughout the seven continents. Why? Ask yourself that. Then you look at the lie that blacks often eat up, which is that they are physically wreched compared to whites, and that whites are the standard of physical excellence. I'm not here to bash them as a race, but to expose lies.

  Military strategies, advances in technology and science, and the ability to possess a wide range of skills including writing. These are all demonstrated by a race that's advertised to be idiotic and inferior. Why? I'm going to attach a link to this blog, of a video by someone I follow on Youtube. In it, you'll here him lashing out at "blacks" for the "lie" that people have been fed about them being athletically superior. Watch how he begins to lump other minorities into the argument- a technique that I mentioned earlier in this post. I don't have a grudge against him personally. He's a boxing analyst who has been apparently agitated by some of the abrasive and stupid "black" members of the Youtube boxing community. I know where he's coming from. Personally, I know how stupid people like Dontae's Boxing Nation are and can be. Those are the kind of mindless blacks that are a disgrace themselves. However, read the comments below the video as well. Look how easily those who are on the fence when it comes to race relation issues, can often end up becoming the voice and platform for ignorant and scared racists.

  For example, one commenter went on a rant exclaiming that he thanked the poster for the video, and that he has found research showing that blacks are just scared mentally, and that they have narrower hips for moving faster and climbing faster, but whites have larger craniums for holding bigger brains and higher IQ's according to scientific findings.  Do your research and read this blog post a second time.

My Nintendo 3DS Review etc.


Nintendo means "In Heaven's Hands." I always thought that was a powerful title for a company. I've been a Nintendo fan since the very early 90's. I was originally born into a Sega household, and had the MasterSystem as a child. I first played Nintendo at friends' houses and then got my own Gameboy in 92' or 93'. I loved playing Mario and the Fifa series. Back then, all the way until today, Nintendo had one thing cornered, and that was the handheld market. I didn't mind. I was a fanboy, and I believed they deserved the throne, because they were the best. But then something  changed.

 As the years went by, it became more apparent to fans that Nintendo was content with lagging the technology for their systems in general. It wasn't all at once. When it came to home consoles, Nintendo was actually leading the pack up until a few generations ago. The Super NES is still a marvel, that had so many upgrades and features that it was making impressive games all the way up until the turn of the century. The Nintendo 64 was actually groundbreaking for its generation and had several innovations that made it amazing such as 4 player games and 64 bit graphics run from a cartridge that needed no loading. The Gamecube is still beyond amazing, and does things graphically that current gen Nintendo systems still can't do. Imagine that. However, with handhelds, Nintendo was technically weak for a long time. The reason we didn't notice, was because everyone else did such a horrible job of supporting their consoles, and making ones that stuck. After a while, because of the weakness of Nintendo handhelds, me and several fans began to fantasize about getting more. The Gamegear, the Lynx Atari, the GameCom, the Nokia NGage, and the Neo Geo Pocket among several other handhelds, all fell before the insane power of the Nintendo Gameboy.


  I watched in awe, as I was a Nintendo fanboy all those years. I had every Gameboy there ever was. Then in 2005, Sony showed something amazing in the PSP. Nintendo recited their usual crappy act, but that time, I couldn't buy in. I was tired of being robbed of high quality experience on the go, and Sony was pushing to deliver that. I was moments away from getting a DS after deliberating for literally years, when I decided at the last minute in Gamestop to get a PSP. I still remember seeing a Puerto Rican dude with his baby in the stroller talking to the counter about what he was doing with his PSP that he just bought. I looked at the pictures he stored on it, and I just had to get the PSP. But, then over the years, the DS, even with its crappy games, still began to take back over. People are mindless drones. Once they get into a routine, they stick to it. It was years before they realized Nintendo was cheating them with another crap handheld. I officially moved over to Sony after that. I still got a DS years later to add to my collection, and it did have some great games that I liked, but felt underwhelmed. I traded it in for something important that I can't remember. Then when the 3DS came out along with the Vita, I hesitated to get either for a long time. I loved my PSP. I got a 3DS first, with Samurai Warriors (which I'm a huge fan of), and Super Street Fighter 4. The games were good, but it bothered me my PSP had graphics that were almost on par. My coworker bugged me to sell it to his kid, and after resisting for a while, I acquiesced and sold it to him. I sort of regretted it, but then moved on. After debating for a long time, I finally got a Vita. The price and compatibility were my main questions with it. Once I found that it's a PSP on steroids, I was all in. Of course, I love it to this day, and it is still my favorite console.

  But when they announced the New Nintendo 3DS I was interested. It had improved processing, extra buttons, a C-stick, and most importantly, it heralded the release of Smash Brothers. I said for years that if they put a Smash Brothers on the 3DS, that would warrant a purchase. Once that was affirmed, I was very interested, but I still hesitated, because it seemed the 3DS and the Vita clashed a bit too much and release a lot of similar titles. When I saw more of the library, I was intrigued by Mario 3D Land and Xenoblade. Those were original titles that the Vita didn't quite have. I decided slowly to get a 3DS.

  I got it, and was very disappointed in how kidified the system is on the menu. Apparently, some pedophile caused the Japanese to do away with the messaging system. There is no way to contact friends. I do love the system itself though. I don't like the C-stick much. Nintendo is so much against making a second analog that they made it a nub that tries to be one. I would have rathered they made it like the original c-stick on the Gamecube. This one is pressure sensitive and doesn't move at all. It senses which way you're pressing and how hard. I downloaded a shooter that was developed to use that feature, and it was a mind-numbing experience playing through the demo level. Super Smash Bros. is exactly what it always is- a single game reason to own a console. Since the game first came out, it has been that for each of its systems. You could own only that game and be content with a system. They neutered some of the controls that made Melee amazing such using evasion to set up attacks, but the game is amazing. Mario 3D land is also stunning. I love it.

  My issue with the system is the company itself. Nintendo seems to be straddling the fence with the old 3DS market. If you release a new console, move forward with it. Don't hinder the potential of the new system to cater to compatibility with the old one. I say that instead of wasting money, Nintendo needs to kill the old 3DS and kill the stupid Wii U, instead of forcing it down our throats. They need to focus on the Wii U as a console more than a gimmick with a 20 pound tablet if they're going to keep it going. But they need to focus on making progressive games with the New Nintendo 3DS hardware.
