I Know.....I'm Late As Fuck

Cinco De Mayo verse

Let's Talk About "Haters"

I keep seeing this EVERY WHERE, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, message boards, MySpace, etc. People getting all bent out of shape about "haters". Someone said something you didn't agree with so now they're a "hater". I don't like what you're doing, so now I'm a "hater". Your friend's not feeling an artist you're into, so now they're a "hater".

FUCKING STOP.

No, they are not a "hater". I don't know who coined this damn phrase but I'd like to punch them in the fucking mouth right now and stomp on their brains with my ratty Reeboks.

Listen, people having an opinion is NOT a bad thing. It's not "hating" to speak your mind and disagree with the majority. It's called criticism and having a differing point of view. Now, if you can't take the criticism, then maybe you should just stop doing whatever it is you do, because criticism is ALWAYS gonna be there. It's everywhere like it should be, the whole point of criticism is to make yourself BETTER. If I say your work/music/taste sucks, TOO BAD. Suck it up, do better, and SHUT ME UP. You saying I'm a hater or anybody else is a hater for that matter, isn't gonna do crap. You living in denial about your weak points & faults isn't gonna make you a better person. So next time instead of calling someone a "hater" how about you STFU and just DO BETTER.

"Who am I to judge one's perspective?
Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating
If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating" - Common

NEW BEAT! Peep it!

So I promised earlier in the day on twitter and facebook that I'd drop something. Here it is. One NEW beat. Listen to it, download it, write to it, whatever you feel like. Enjoy.

By the way, this feels like it'll be a recurring thing; so more in the future I guess?

The Stress People! The Stress!!

Don't mind the mess on the floor, that's just where my brain exploded.

All last week and all of this upcoming week till Tuesday I will be cramming my brain full of more math than I've ever wanted to know or care to use. On top of that, music theory is spilling out of my ears and all that my eyes are seeing at the moment are formulas, equations, notes & scales. My brain is fried. It looks like this....



If that isn't bad enough, I'm almost fucking done with the album. Right now I'm in the process of finding someone to handle the enormous task of mixing it. Might not sound like a big deal to you, but trust me it is. It's the difference between a hot mess and hotness.

This is probably what you care about though:
-Album art within the next couple of weeks
-Lead single in late May/early June
-Album most likely towards the end of summer

Oh, guess what, the website is pretty much done and ready.

If you care about me, you're probably wondering how I'm handling all this. Let me say this, it's a good thing me and Jack in the Box are in love again. 3 for $3 bitches, 3 for $3...

Till next time.

Sincerely, Jacobo
