*Tries To Blog In 3 Minutes*

Two minutes, actually, haha. Whats good folks, Im trying to blog before work starts, so forgive the lack of information/commonsense in this one.


Okay? *one minute left*

Im blogging this cause it seems I produce more music when I set deadlines via you guys (Good lookin on TSVDMT, yall kept me focused).


So this week, lets try to record:


The Mike Seay Joint
A Blood Brothers joint


kay?! KAYYYYYYYYY! I DID IT!

Shaz out

"IM FOCUSED, MAAAAAAAAN" -Sean Carter

"HE PLAYIN, MAAAAAAAAAN" -Stevie Wonder


Ya'll didnt know that Jay-z bit that?! Now ya know, see what rolling wit Shaz will get you? IN-FORMA-TION!!!!!! haha, forgive me, folks, but Im typing this one as a think it, a freestyle, if you will........


Shaz back the building, and after the MONUMENTAL success of THE SAINT VALENTINES DAY MIXTAPE 2, me and the crew are ready to get back to the business of seriously grinding out music. Whats on my plate for the next three months, you ask? GLAD YOU ASKED! Lets see:

1. Blood Brothers mixtape with Franky Yeig
2. The Grad School Mixtape (pending acceptance into the grad program)
3. Avengers Assembled Mixtape wit the crew
4. Captainilism Works (not capitalism, folks)
5. Laz's Inuk Chuk mixtape
6. Making the song of the summer w/ Kanun
7. guest slots w/ Slash, MisEducated, Charity, J.Mic, Warrior, L.C., Mike Seay, The Third, Ben Grimm, Dre Seay, Carson........
8. Rounding up producers for my ALBUM: A.N.O.T.L. (!)



so yeah, lets see how much of that happens, lol.................


peaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...............

Remember That Part On "Ether", When Nas Said......

"Eminem murdered you on ya own s*$!"? Remember that? Thats how I been feeling nowadays. Whats up, people? Shaz back in the buildin and since Im WAAAAAAAAY overdue with The Saint Valentines Day Mixtape, I guess I'll shoot the breeze about other topics on my mind.

I been doing a pretty decent amount of collaborations with other emcees lately and Im starting to see a pattern on the songs, THESE CATS IS MURKIN ME!!!!!! Now, keep in mind, I only rock with the best, Ive never been on a track with a emcee who wasnt AT LEAST my equal, so a pretty good lyrical sparring match is to be expected, but...............

-Charity
-L.C.
-Frank Yeiger
-Mike Seay
-Dre Seay
-The Warrior

Have all jumped on tracks with me and showed me up. I should be happy, cause this means that all the songs are gonna be classic (especially this one with Charity, Oh My God........or Allah Akbar:), but it still makes me wonderrrrrrrrrrrrr:

am I losing it?
Since Im getting older does that mean I have to work harder at it?
Have I reached my lyrical "glass ceiling"?



who knows? Just venting anyways, laterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............

Shaz<-----------THE TOM BRADY OF RAP:(

No witty diatribe today, this is my official concession speech, I CONCEDE, SNITCHES! I was not able to (fully) deliver the SAINT VALENTINES DAY mixtape on the date that I said, boooooooo, Shaz, booooooooo!


I mean, I got this half-bootied, incomplete, error filled joint up and THAT aint even got downloadable links attacted, what a loserrrrrrrrr...........



Whatever, though, this is exactly the reason I make mixtapes in the first place, to learn whats gonna happen when Its time to drop an album. I learned alot from the experience, but I think Murphys Law explains it all.............................hope youre not waiting on me to explain Murphys Law, ahhahaha...........


I'll get the mixtape tape up-an-running as soon as I can, I might even throw Part 1 up there as an apology to the folks for making em wait, we'll see........



"Shoulder colder than Alaska/Options like Nebraska quarterbacks got"
-Shaz

SO IM AT THE GRAMMYS ACCEPTING MY MIXTAPE AWARD, RIGHT?!

The the homie Jigga (Jay-z) was like, "when that mixtape coming out, son?". Im like, "Im not you progeny, Jay, but THE SAINT VALENTINES DAY MIXTAPE 2 is droppin on Valentines Day.". He was like, "I aint get a verse on it?". I was like, "Maybe next year, kid."..................


my delusions of grandeur are GRANDIOSE, eh? hahahaha..........



Anywaaaaaaaaaaay, 4 days til' the mixtape drops and Im looking real good. I recorded THREE JOINTS last night! The kid went in! All i need is a Frank Yeiger ad-lib on one and a deuce verse on the other and Im good on those. I still got one song to record and sent to L.C., hopefully I'll get that back back Wednesday night, so I can put errrrthang together that night....


I think I still need to go back and listen to the St. V Day Mix T part 1, make sure I aint repeating any songs.............


but yeah, EVERYTHINGS A GO!



"High School, cross-over, waved away pics...."<-----more on this later........

*Sews Head Back On*

As to say that Ive been running around like a chicken with his head cutoff the last few days. Hello, Huuuuuuuuuumans, Shaz back in thee building with a good-ole update of mi progress. Its six days left til the mixtape drops and I mush say that things are looking goodly-good.


Got everything in place except the new joints that I gotta record and upload, so now I cant blame anyone else if I screw up, WHELP!

The biggest setbacks Ive had was tryna look for these two particular instrumentals the rap over, I been looking all week, to no avail. I recently found out that one of them probably dont exist and I just wanted it so bad that I convinced myself that it did, haha, the other one is uber-rare, so I might have to cancel that idea, teeew (Prop Joe, R.I.P.)


but, it gets better!


I hollered at my homie Warrior a day ago, asking him if I could use one of his old songs for the mixtape. Apparently, he thought I wanted some new stuff, SO HE WENT AND COOKED UP TWO NEW BEATS FOR ME AND THE CREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So just like that, I go from not being able to find two instrumental to having two new tracks! God is the greatest!


So yeah, "Im looking real good"-Ghostface.



peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeace!

Kanye: "So how much yall paying me to jump on this mixtape?"

Me: "Nothing, we were hoping that you'd do it on the strength of......."

Kanye: *click*


Hahaha, I imagine that how it would go, yep. Whats good, folks, Shaz back in the building with an update on the mixtape. So far, so good. I locked down all the guest appearances and got about 80% of the in-house business taken care of, so now there are only a few things left to do:

1. Record 2 new Shaz tracks (possibly difficult considering my laziness)

2. Land a song from The Warrior

3. Make a mixtape cover

4. Upload music to the net


In this new digital age, doing all of these things are way easier than they used to be, so if I make the most of each day, I'll land my deadline!


And nooooooooooooooooooow, how about a sneak peek at the guestlist for the mixtape? Yeah!

We got Nas, Ki-Ci and JoJo, Musiq, Aries (not Gainsborough), Elisa Fiorillo, Usher, Method Man, D'Angelo, Shawn J, Smoke, Lupe, Yummy Bingham, The Rayne, Debbie Boone, Rell, Kanye West, Consequence, Erykah Badu, Frank Yeiger, Black Native, Deuce Warrior and little ole' me.

not bad, eh? Wait til you hear the music

*oh yeah, maybe Bill Withers will show up, too.


* Special Rest In Peace to those who died last night, we had a Big tornado here a few hours ago, God spared me and mine..................


peace
