In My Car Listening To Beats

I'm sitting in my car outside waiting for a very important and personal appointment so please don't ask any further question on where I am...I'm listening to music and random beats mentally pondering the many ideas and lyrics in my cranium these past few days...I had an interesting day...I thought about my dad, or lack there of (not a "diss" just honesty) was told by a girl who just yesterday was my biggest groupie that my music sucks and noone would ever buy it, watched a jae millz interview that made me furious, read over the 4 songs I've got for my album (wait did I really just tell you I was making an album :o) then practiced my show and yes all this while I was at work!...I told you I grind and find time to work on my passion...

So about this jae millz interview, first of all I've been a jae millz fan for awhile right up until his past 2 mixtapes and the trash he did with young money...yea I'm down with young money I feel like they spit in the face of every music fan...what do I mean? They make very bland pointless music in which they use nursery rhymes degrade women, flaunt money, power, and drug use, and say it all in a way and tone that says " I can rap about anything and dumb it down cause all of you listeners are stupid!" Don't believe me? Listen to bedrock and everygirl and tell me those songs aren't dumbed down songs degrading women, flaunting money and drugs...no really do it...

But back to my point on jae millz just the attitude he has towards all other artists and music in general has changed...no disrespect cause millz is ill but he has just fallen victim to his camp listen to zone out season that mixtape is a monster but now? He's just like wayne and minaj tyga and the rest...he was speaking on the top 10 freshmen in xxl which by the way I think is wack cause what makes a freshman? But anyway I began listening to bob,asher roth, mickey factz, charles hamilton and blu based of a freshmen list so keep doing it xxl! But millz just sounded arrogant, ignorant and like a groupie for young money...seemed like well what is also reality that on his own noone cares about him anymore cause he's not the same he used to be so just his whole "typical rapper" persona made me mad and hate the idea of me being a rapper...

The fight? Yea simply put she's mad at me that I'm not talking to her much anymore and decided to attack me, actually I'm making a song with her friend and she's jealous thinking I'm gonna be all into that girl and stop talking to her...well in truth I don't wanna talk to her anyway she did some shady things that dtrike fear in my heart...but whatever I know my music is heaven sent and yes my older stuff is raw and really needs work but what I'm making now is on another level and my attitude? Yea that's a ride with me or ride under me ya dig?

My dad? Why aren't you a father to me? Let's speak on my new project...I played the rough copy for bman, yea even him the kid that isn't big into rap said he got a special feeling from this project...trust me people this new music is a me you never knew, a me that is not confident but just doesn't care if you like it or not I'm gonna expose my reality to the world...expose my gift...yea that's gonna come my birthday I think that would be a great release date...the show friday is gonna be amazing...the album is gonna be bananas! And my fan page on facebook is really exciting me, I have some fans! I know to some it means nothing but it means allot to me and the statement 2010 premiers tomorow! That track is gonna set you all on fire and have every rapper scurrying looking for a beat to release a dope song to cause I murder that beat murder myself and set the stage for the new project...

I'm NOT PLAYING IN 2010

Before Bed 3/24/10

Before I go to bed tonight I wanna share something with you...I came across a mixtape just yesterday that sparked an interest for me...I visit 2dopeboyz.com everyday and download mixtapes just to listen to new tunes and hopefully I can come across someone really dope...well I did...

I downloaded an ep call The Audition by Shawn Chrystopher and its truely amazing music very different than what I expected...it was crazy dope very relatable and his music is ill! So I came home today and started watching his videos and finding more about him...bought his debut album off itunes and its official I'm a fan! This guys music is so honest and you can tell its not about money or fame but make great music that he wants to relate and reach people...

In an interview he also said something crazy when he said he wasn't gonna try and flood the market with material but her wanted to people to sit on his projects and associate him with them...and that's so true! Every show I try and do new music and always wanna flood the market but my music is so much deeper than that...what I'm about to say is gonna offend some people but in no way is this ment to start a "beef"...artist like lil wayne can flood the internet and "streets" with material because its bland, it has no depth there just punchlines and random rants over beats, its not something that can or will stay in your mind or touch your spirit...

My music and other artists that are making music real songs with the depth to reach your inner being shouldn't keep over loading you... We should truely release single concept driven projects and let you soak it in get it enjoy it love it and then support it...as crazy as it sounds this artist has really inspired me and made me rethink what I wanna do this year...at a time when I was trying to make 2 albums and countless mixtapes this summer I need to slow down and do me...build something powerful that can build a fan base from the ground up and this show next friday (that came so fast!) Is my start...my chance to show the world (at least the people in attendance) that jon farris is an artist and someone that deserves your ears...I wanna walk out of there with people saying wow I wanna hear more of that guy make them wanna google me or look me up on myspace,youtube, datpiff and all other sites...with new material being recorded soon and new writting sessions begining this summer should be amazing and uber productive...its not about fashion money or fame its about looking out into a crowd and knowing that the gift I was blessed with is reaching people...goodnight world

Inspiration 2: WALE

as i posted yesterday wale has had an influence on me lately (musically of course) his work ethic and creativity is a virtue here are some videos...

The Takeover Begins...Now

Yes its official begun...the jon farris takeover is begining and you didn't even realize...how is it happening? What does it mean? All very valid questions...valid but ones that I will not answer...not at this moment...

First things first, let me speak on something that has entered into my mind and began to cause me to look at myself and the world around me in a different light...check out theforerunner777 on youtube...this guy knows his facts...its all about the ending of the world, satanic occults in music and media and the ways that we are blinded and force fed evil messeges...yea its trippy...

Then I began watching youtube videos of wale in particular the 48hr 3 part documentary on the release of his album (which I have and think is really dope)...it was so interesting to see his work ethic and how aware he is of his status...so many people are concerned with "playing the part" of being a mega star that they fail to just accept that they need to get on the day to day grind...he has become one of my influences over the past year...I've always been a fan but when you see certain things in video formatt interviews etc...I will be continuing my posts on the artists and things that inspire me to dig deep into my soul for creativity...I'm not home at the moment when I get home I'm gonna post videos that prove and show exactly what has inspired me...

I'm on the way to play basketball...yes I play...I'm not great maybe not even good but I try super hard...its a great workout and I honestly play with heart and effort I imagine that the world is watching me and parents are telling there kids to watch how jon plays that's the way its done...its stupid I know but its what motivates me...

So back to the takeover? No not yet I don't wanna speak so soon...let's just say I've made moves and decisions that are really going to lead to me having success...let's just say don't be alarmed if the name jon farris begins to be heard more often...for now I say goodby people videos, more blogs, and new music coming very soon!

Blog One

Yes people I have returned to the blog world...for some of you this is your first introduction to me so I say welcome and hello...or maybe its the other way around?...anyway I have taken time over the past year to reevaluate my life plans, my intentions in love, my career, faith, and as a friend, sibling, man, and even athlete...I am a man of many ideas some good some bad a few great and tragic mixed in but I tell you this...I'm always thinking...

So if you are familiar with me you know from my previous blog (that I deleted due to my embarrassment and disgust in how much of my personal business I shared with the world) I speak from the heart and share my soul with those willing to listen...I am a hip hop artist by definition but tend to explore and push the boundaries of music...I also am a very hurt soul at the moment as I'm dealing with an incredibly painful personal situation I don't care to share with you (no disrespect but those close enough to me to know are the only ones deserving to know) I send out an inspirational text to everyone in my phone book everyday that began about 3 months ago at the start of 2010...people seem to love it and enjoy it but 160 characters often times doesn't leave me enough space to fully explain the thought behind my text enter blog! I will from now on post it on my blog to explain in better detail the thought and inspiration behind the text...

Also I will use my blog to show the world my likes and dislikes now this can be things such as bible verses that inspire me or song lyrics youtube videos anything that I feel has aided me or will aid me on the pursuit of happiness...in my opinion that's what life is a pursuit of happiness...so as I make my journey I ask you to join me come out of your comfort zone read my posts what the videos explore your mind heart and soul...let's open our hearts to receive new inspiration that can aid us help us through tough times...I am not your savior but I do hope to inspire you to think for at least 1 minute everyday...
