Description:
Was messing around and played a bass line that I liked. . kinda grew from there. I mic'ed the vocals with my macbook and I mixed the thing on shitty headphones. . so its bound to be off. Ill remix it on my monitors when I have access to them. Anyways, leave comments please!

Lyrics:
I'm too modest for hip hop
too dope just not to rap
I'm too cool to rip shots
at cats who's just too wack
I'm too hot for this track
matter of fact I'm just too rad
you wanna sound like this?
well, I guess thats just too bad

I scat just like I'm speechless
swinging like its recess
swagger to the beat its
kinda crazy how I heat this
not religious, I'll still preach this
still searching for my reasons
funny how an atheist spits soul into your speakers
from your hat down to your sneakers
saturate yourself
ElPeruano's music
hear its real good for your health
just slow down a little bit
life can get too intricate
I'm swingin it
to toe tappin bass
turn it up until you feelin it

I'm too modest for hip hop
too dope just not to rap
I'm too cool to rip shots
at cats who's just too wack
I'm too hot for this track
matter of fact I'm just too rad
you wanna sound like this?
well, I guess thats just too bad

something different... &mdash 01/04/08 - 03:44:45 AM
Hip hop rap jazz.... there's a lot of novelty in this multi-genre song. Your vocal performance is a revelation here. You really pushed it beyond your usual comfort zone and that made it possible to demonstrate your vocal abilities. I didn't know you could rap (dude, you did it with conviction), and the jazz doo-wup singing is refreshing. Impressive songwriting and yeah, nice vocal mixing. I did not like the fade-out end (a fading rap is a rather unorthodox exit), but I guess you may have been running out of time to think of a better way. The body of the song still needs a little more instrumental garnishing maybe (well, jazz is always tough instrument-wise), but overall a job well done. Musically, it seems you're on a roll, EP.

thanks for the great feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed that I tried something a little different. Maybe an EP is on the way, although I'd pretty much want to re-do every single song on here. Perhaps this summer. . .

your comments are alwaysss appreciated. take care!

Wow &mdash 01/09/08 - 03:00:14 AM
Thats different, very good track. Cool. Love the lyrics and the music is very good. Very jazzy. Nice.
I heard the datafunk remix (which is also very good) so I thought I had to listen to the original, and I'm glad I did. Well done I'm impressed.
