Beats n Strings

thats cool but why couldnt it be a video from my own channel!? nbd theres a lot of random videos of me on youtube that shouldnt be considered a bad thing for any reason right?

first movie prices go up to 12 bucks, and now they are trying to stop us from pirating them! click STOP CENSORSHIP above and lets stop them because the internet is the harbinger of human social and political evolution and should be protected like baby jesus!!

whenever i street perform, i am invariably told authoritatively by a fan or two to immediately sign up for ‘americas got talent’.. and im not against getting massive exposure.. an income boost would definitely allow me to really blossom as an artist and a person cause recently my growth has been held back by a lack of financial resources.. after a couple years of this, i decided to finally look into ‘americas got talent’.. so i went online and read the contract… heres a couple excerpts..

wow so i can go on americas got talent if i give them a contract for anything and everything i do, AND give them the right to make me look bad to millions of people EVEN if its fictional..
let me give you an excerpt from EARN IT YOURSELF.com about what it means to have integrity as a growing artist.

THE PHILOSOPHY:

Earn It Yourself” is the idea that one must earn one’s successes in life the right way, without compromising his/her integrity, ignoring his/her instincts, or going against his/her values. One must earn every dollar in his pocket by means of his mind and his will — not by means of others’ pity for him, by begging for alms, or by being dishonest. It is not a philosophy for those who make “fame” or “fortune” their goals; rather, this is a philosophy for those whose goals are tangible, and have substance and meaning. This is a philosophy for those who want to contribute goodness to the world, and build a career — and a life — that is full of joy, purpose, and truth.

A lot of artists #1 goal is to become famous.. what does that tell you about their value system? it tells you that their center is their popularity. which tells you that they would choose more fame over more truth, honesty, happiness, self-respect or anything else. it may tell you that they feel superior to anyone less famous than them and they feel inferior to those more famous than them.. other artists like me would rather build a foundation on balanced principles.. if an opportunity for big exposure presents itself i will take it but not under the terms of being a disposable pawn to some big corp that doesnt give a shit about an artist..

SHARE this article if you agree with this abstract philosophy (sarcasm)

the first time i ever beatboxed and played guitar it was role model by eminem back in highschool.. hip hop beats is all i used to do, i figured i would compile some eminem tracks that made up my adolescent years. i can still remember where i was the first time i heard every eminem single it was like a divine revelation to my pea sized teenage brain.

this songs hard as hell

a cool kid from Santa Monica named Jordan Satmary interviewed me a few months ago and made a mini documentary for a high school assignment.. here it is, beat in the street…

just a small disclaimer, not all the breakdancers are greedy some are willing to cooperate, shoutouts to animation and candyman

thiiiiss is really old, probably at least a year and a half old.. i thought it was never going to turn up.. randomly it shows up on youtube.. it took like 2 hours of filming cause the reporter chick was hella nervous and had to say her lines like 100x each, so everyone was teasing her. and i had to re do my answers a few times so thats why its just a stock response.. but i thought id share it since it was the first actual ‘interview’ i ever did.. sup estrella!
