this some R.L. Stein shit....

We got fuckin pigs making people sick... ah hell NO!! I woke up this morning with a slightly soar throat and a headache (insert goosebumps)... By now all my "liberal" friends are most likely spinning into some rage about "fear mongering" in America and "mass distraction"... I get it, the government wants us to be scared in order to pull off some kind of scam (insert goosebumps) but you know what.... I don't give a damn anymore! I just don't want to get sick! Beware... if you look like this:

DO NOT COME NEAR THE SPREAD STUDIO! I will bacon your ass!... this swine flu shit is crazy I'm tellin you... Not to mention the fact that Tupac showed up in New Orleans last week! LMAO! WTF? We had a nice little debate about this shit in the studio last week and the consensus is that R.L. Stein IS Tupac (insert goosebumps)...


By now all my rapper friends are mad on some "Dekk don't disrespect Pac like that bro...." but I don't give a damn! If Pac is alive and partying in New Orleans, then I am somewhat disappointed in his life choices... I mean really, that's a pretty fucked up trick to play on millions of people... and it's also a MARKETING SCAM! He got rich as hell of that shit... That's why I love Jay-Z and NaS so much... They didn't have to die to be considered "great"... I'm just sayin... Early death seems to catapult people into "legend status" that might not otherwise be there ( cough *Dilla* cough)... Oh shit!! People are gonna fucking hate me for this post!! hahaha!... Listen.... I love Pac's music, I love Dilla's music and I love Big's music... but to say that any of them was the greatest is risky to me. It's my opinion that tragic death makes objectivity almost impossible... really who cares though? LOL! This guy does:

That's Kid Couture... My DJ, my business partner... My enemy. Kid Couture is a Dilla fanatic and a weapon of mass bad-ass-ness... He once punch fought a snowboarder on tour and won... I'm just sayin... Watch out!!! Seriously though, Mr. Couture is returning from a 3 month tour this Wednesday (oh shit that's tomorrow) and I couldn't be more excited to have him back (unless he catches swine flu). The Spread team will finally be complete! Jay Child, Late Davis, Randa Smith, Dekk (me), Tim Moore and Kid Couture! you might ask "Who's fucking with that???" Well, in the words of Keith Sweat:

NO-BAWDY!!!!

the good life?!

If you were to listen to Kanye you would certainly imagine a life in the music industry to be a bonkersly-glorious experience... umm... Well.... It's fulfilling, exciting and inspiring... but it's also CHALLENGING, especially when you're trying to make a mole hill out of a canyon. These day's I'm starting to get worn thin... I mean literally... People keep asking me,

"Dekk are you sure that you're eating?"

or

"Dekk why you got rings under your eyes? You got AIDS?!"

To those of you who care enough to ask, THANK YOU, and no I don't have AIDS...YES I am eating!!.... but I'm also spending a lot less time sitting and sleeping. In fact, even when I sleep I find myself waking up thinking about what I could be doing to get ahead. I've never been the obsessive/addictive type, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm heading in that direction... at least with music... I could sit here and gas you up like "music is easy for me" and "it's nothin, I'm taking over," but in all honesty it's fucking HARD WORK... I'm NOT complaining because I love it, but I'd be a liar if I didn't admit that sometimes I overwhelm myself... It's funny because I've never really been overwhelmed by anything... This is how I know to keep going no matter how hard it gets... I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THIS and even though it can be tiresome....

.... at the end of the day it's all about finding that fucking dinosaur right?!

it's a funny-good feeling...

SO, yesterday I was in my gmail doin business as usual and I got a G-talk request from a username that I definitely didn't recognize... I accepted the request and immediatley shot out a "who's this?"... Person responded by saying:

"nobody that you know, just a huge fan of your work...."

This person was not another artist looking for beats or collaboration... just a straight up fan of Beautiful Music... We ended up chatting for a good 10 minutes. It was a crazy feeling to have somebody support me that I've never met... Music is a business rooted in selling the work of people to people and at the end of the day what drives me is the interaction, not the bottom line... Thank you for the reality check and thank you for the support. I put everything into this music shit, so to have a little feedback means the world!! You know what though?....

I LOVE MY LIFE RIGHT NOW!! I LOVE WHAT I'M DOING AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I AM GENUINELY HAPPY WITH WHAT I'M DOING!!

-Dekk-

I NEED new albums ASAP from:

Working hard...

For the past two days I've been locked up in the studio like a happy-mad-scientist in a lab who loves being crazy about the world...

make seNse?

It's occurred to me that I am NOT power hungry or money hungry... BUT I am fucking starving for greatness. Fortunately, money and power comes with greatness in America (at least with music) and when I obtain the success that I am aiming for those around me will benefit... By those I mean my community. I did not sit through college lectures for 5 years just to forget the importance of sociological wisdom and responsibility. Lately there has been talk of me "changing"... My reply to that is:

FUCK YEAH I'VE CHANGED, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I'VE FORGOTTEN WHO I AM AND WHAT I BELIEVE IN!!

so... you can either grow with me and trust me... or do you in another way... I really don't give a fuck because no matter what,

SPREAD is the MUSIC

"and another one...."

Swag Face??

Ok I get it... Swag is fading like my "indie money" jeans (that means old and busted yo) but the fact remains that it will make a comeback in about 10 years. Swag will be that shit, again. Like, my kids will most likely ask me about the days of the original "swag" and I'll have to lie to them and say it was "cool". I mean thats what our parents have done with disco.. lmao! Word-em-up!!

"Na nana na na nana nana nana na nana na nanana....Here come the hot-steppa.... Word-em-up!!"

That shit was soooo fire. Like, it made me get my swag face on. Especially because it dropped on MTV when I was like 13 and anything that MTV said was cool became cool, NO MATTER WHAT. That's how life was back then. MTV was my socialization... oh how things have changed.. Now I prefer "For the Love of Ray J":

Ok... I'm kidding about this one. On the real, "For the Love of Ray Jay" is probably the lowest of the lowest tv shows that I've ever seen... This shit makes Flava Flav look classy...

Bout to hit the studio real hard tonight with my guy Jay Child... We have some classics in the works...

Peace.
