IT AINT HARD TO TELL

(above) THE CREATORS “It aint hard to tell who they are”

In the words of the Streets Disciple when we knew him as Nasty Nas
…”It aint hard to tell…” Hence the post. It aint hard to tell why you finding me smiling most times in pictures, unlike other rappers, emcees, producers, hip-hoppers etc…
IM HAPPY!!
I know thats against the rules in Hip Hop..HA!!
My life is so beautiful and I have to say that I am truly thankful for the ‘beautiful people” that have contributed in one way or another to making my days wonderful and meaningful.
To all the stong women who have influenced me and showed me how to treat women with respect…I THANK YOU FOR RAISING THIS GENTLEMAN. I guess thats why I have two boys of my own…we must need MORE gentlemen.

So here are some more important people that make all the difference in the world. “Acknowledge your “peoples” NOW while they’re around…instead of “remembering” them after they are in the ground” – Edreys

She’s the one responsible for me not getting caught up in the hood nonsense. Couldn’t get in trouble with a sister like mine. She always got the job done, cause she wasnt gonna let ME get HER in trouble by not doing her job and gettin my butt back home on time. luv u!

(Above) Basically…

You LOVE how I spin words around…Playa Haters..Playa Haitus…get it?!?….
WHATEVER…i thought it was a clever play on words.

Anyways, I was on a very long vacation without much technology, therefore my blog reflected my absence. But there is always good news, like…
1) I wasn’t locked up
2) I’m not writing you from the prison library computer, hence good news #1
3) In the words of DJ Khaled…I’m still…”THE BEESSSSST”

I was out in San Fran for a nearly a week without my Mac, BUT I took lots of pictures and have many things to share and talk about. So, make sure you check back…unless I hit you first.


I LIKE OBAMA

When you give your best at something, all that you can do is put it out there and hope that the people you are trying to reach, will give you their time and attention. With that said, this morning, my friend “The Black Brad Pitt” discovered that we reached and touched someone with the “I Like It” video. When I created the song, the furthest thing from my mind was pairing it with the Obama Campaign. Check out the video below.
Watch and listen how some of the lyrics match with the images he uses. Schweeet!!

GO SHOPPING

store.png

I’ve heard it said that “shopping can become and addiction.”
Here are a couple suggestions for you fabric fiends out there:
1) Try scraping the ice from your car windshield in 7 degree weather in ONLY your undergarments (undies, bra, tee, socks, etc.).
Desired result: You will realize that you dont need something NEW…you just need something ON!
Negative result: You may be SO addicted to shopping that you will sit your bare bottom, and house shoe covered feet into the 5 degree Farenheit car with freezing leather seats and proceed to the nearest Macy’s, TJ Maxx or Marshall’s to pick up a new wardrobe.
2) Take a look at some homeless person that you tend to see as ‘less fortunate” and recognize their contentment. They arent worried about how they look to anyone. We tend to call them crazy when we see them talking to themselves and laughing and smiling, meanwhile the joke may actually be on US and we are the source of their daily humor and comedy relief!


MR. BIG SHOT

mini-dope-45.png

Quick question: Having a gun makes you hard. (TRUE / FALSE)
correct answer at the bottom

I’ve never needed to carry a pistol, gun, burner, toast, gat, heat, biscuit, iron, hammer, steel, ratchet or any other slang derivative for a firearm. I certainly don’t need to ACT like I have one and consider putting on a “super thug” costume while I’m creating my music. For me, it’s the simple understanding of the law of attraction, no more no less.
I spend my time attracting wealth and wellness, family and fun etc. I believe that when you carry that “heater,” that “burner,” that “cannon,” that it literally attracts that same likeness to you. We learn that scientifically, opposites attract, but in the universal concept, the law of attraction will manifiest and grant you all that you are and have desire for.
So, if you are a “hammer toting” thug/hood/rapper, want-to-be or otherwise…Expect that you will attract the drama that may cause you to have to use that gun or have some one exercise their “hammer” on you.

As you can see from the proof (above)…EDREYS IS TO BIG FOR GUNS!!!
Stop shooting each other and shoot for the stars!

ANSWER: TRUE – Having a gun makes you hard.
Hard, stiff, smelly and in the dirt. OR Doing HARD time!

Check the qoutes from the single/video “I LIKE IT
qoutable – 1) “I’m going hard like I got a prescription/
A gun’s the only thing I got a problem with liftin”

qoutable -2) “I aint scared, you aint ever popped lead/
I shoot thoughts in your ear to ricochet in your head”
