"They say night's beauties fade at dawn, and the children of wine are oft disowned in the morning light."

Sorry it took a minute to find the time to sit and give your drop my undivided attention, but thought I'd drop you a little feedback now I've had the privilege. Very thought provoking spoken word intro. That piano on Live For Your Life is insane, so infectious! "How can I give up when I got sumthin' to prove!?" Preach! Shit, production on this is professional as fuck. "So much food for thought I can't decide what to eat." Heard this before, in your car? On cam? "History repeats and victor deletes" is such a nice bar (Y) "Evil thrives when good men stand by..." love these philosophical quotables, speak volumes about your mindstate. "Rape is unapologetic, safety of our daughters must be placed above a dollar" ughh, fuck, yes! This is upbeat militant music! Ready to take up arms! "And then I'm back to no emotions... reality check to the dome..." this whole concept resonates... "all I wanted was for you to be happy..." Duce2uce name reminds me of Il Duce, our homie from Spoken Origami haha! I have a track over this beat, makes it hard to hear without hearing my own vocals ghosting over it: http://anothab.bandcamp.com/track/break-free-prod-shadowville Real nice 'Pac quote on the intro... real nice strong female vocals on the hook... uncredited? Digging this track. Deep, humble and reflective. "Give a fuck if I don't make it, I just cannot stay complacent, working harder every day and night, know the world needs saving, so I'm chasing aiming at the stars but who am I to save it? I am just one man." Very nice playful melody... "you're poetry in motion when you move with them curves" aha, niiice... "I write essays for you where every letter exudes how perfection..." Sounds a nice slow and sensual intro, then gets busy very quickly! Dude sounds kinda like Young T on the second verse... Kicks in like a dance track... foot tapping, head nodding... catchy as hell... "you're my soulmate connected by an invisible thread" - real nice drop, paying homage to that lucky lady in your life (Y) Real slowed, very deep kinda vibe... ahh, nostalgic, reliving those childhood days... your parents should be proud brother, you're doing it major... "I know you see a lot of you inside of me, and it means this apple didn't fall that far from the tree." Very sincere recognition here. Your parents did good. Beast flow, multi monster. Very easy to nod along to. "Vision from a third eye's got me sitting where the birds fly." Very soulful. This track speaks of an artist who is comfortable with who they are, and is focused on where they're heading. Flow and delivery are on point brother, whole drop is solid. You've been lyrically fire since Anotha days with drops like "Fire In Ya Eyes" and "Fall From Grace", you've always been on point painting vivid imagery with linguistic acrobatics. Content is never random, always relative and coherent. Always in your corner brother, never stop grinding - the view from the top will be worth all the sacrifices. Much love from the UK x

When you've gone the house seems so silent. I listen for the absent familiar pitter patter of your footsteps on the laminate and feel empty in this big house alone. I miss the sound of your soft breathing dancing across the landing as I lay in my bed at night. I miss your pretty smile, big eyes full of wonder, and those cuddles that erode my solid exterior into gravel around my ankles. I miss the way I feel just having you here with me, like I'm the superhero made to keep you safe. I miss tucking you into bed, singing Dear Ilysha, reading bedtime stories, and kissing your forehead when you've drifted off to sleep. I miss the way I feel when you tell me that you love me, when you say I am your best friend in the whole world. I miss being the Jake to your Finn, and the Brock to your Ash. I miss hearing your laughter decorating our home, the sound of you dancing and singing, playing and having fun. I miss seeing your wonderful artistic creations, miss hearing the songs you make up as you serenade your dolls and teddies, miss our conversations where you speak with such enthusiasm and imagination that I feel magic inside me. I miss the scent of your wet hair after your bath, the sight of your beautiful face when I awaken as you hurry into my bedroom and jump in bed beside me. I miss cuddling you on the sofa watching Adventure Time and Pokemon on repeat for hours. I miss dressing you in cute outfits, styling your hair. I miss kissing time, cuddle time and tickle time. I miss a huge part of the very best thing in my life. And I miss just looking at you, as I glow with pride inside, seeing you grow into such an amazing little girl. I miss you, even when life is busy and my schedule keeps me occupied... you are forever there in my heart and mind, reminding me of what perfection looks like and what love feels like. I miss you so much sweetheart whenever we're apart. And whenever you're away from me, I am left here alone missing all the little things you give me that make my world complete. You are my everything 😭💗

And now after a full shift at work, the new server install commences at 17:35...

06/09/2016 @02:13
Just got home... been a long ass day at work from 9am until 2am... and it's not even been worth it. Ugh.

06/09/2016 @18:36
Been a strange and emotional day... likely a combination of lack of sleep after yesterdays 17hr work shift and todays stressful day shift in the aftermath on 4.5hrs sleep... the fact my brave little soldier Charlie has spent the day up hospital having an endoscopy and tummy biopsy... and that my growing little princess Ilysha has spent her first day at pre-school... thanks to everyone that bothered to send birthday wishes, it's been... different... just waiting on my brother now so I can go out and maybe enjoy what remains of it xo

Just witnessed a school kid nearly get hit by a car after running from between two parked vehicles into the road 😷 knocked me sick. The kid just froze up like a deer caught in headlights as the car slammed on it's brakes stopping about a metre away. Please teach your kids about road safety, not all scenarios end without tragedy!! 😢

09/09/2016 @22:43
Is this the Gavin Lightfoot you're all friends with? Proper fucked up this situation is. Fundraiser for my mates little 'un who tragically passed away after being knocked down by a car, and someone has helped themselves to the money raised in his memory... ugh...

Sometimes (often after a few beers) I miss how close I used to be with some people. I think about how close we once were, always there for each other, told each other everything, and yet now we're like strangers. It's heartbreaking really.

11/09/2016 @11:20
I think it's very important that developing women realise this visual deception at a young age; the prospect of my daughter going through issues with self-consciousness as a result of this kinda thing concerns me massively. We live in a society where we're all guilted into conforming to a certain body type, dress style and other social constructs; anyone who doesn't blend into the crowd is often chastised and ridiculed. The cosmetic industry knows this, and they capitalise on it by targeting make up adverts at women who believe without it they'll be ostracised by their peers and rejected by love interests. We are all bombarded with unobtainable beauty standards projected in the media, and we're made to feel inadequate as a result. It makes women insecure so that they'll spend fortunes on makeup unnecessarily, and it makes men lust after a standard of beauty that isn't real. As a result, women lose out twice in this paradigm - they spend insane amounts of money on cosmetic products (whereas men generally do not) in order to pursue a beauty standard that is often Photoshopped, and it makes women appear less attractive to males who now have this fake idea of what a "normal" female looks like embedded subconsciously.
tl;dr: beauty standards make women chase an unobtainable ideal, and makes men unappreciative of natural beauty.

Insane that it's 15 years since the USA destroyed two buildings in New York to justify a "War on Terror" that would allow them to illegally occupy foreign countries under the guise of "security", illegally launch a mass-surveillance operation under the guise of "security", and illegally profit by seizing natural resources and introducing banking and infrastructure for their own benefit into areas where they previously had no jurisdiction to do so. Operation Northwoods finally got greenlighted almost 4 decades after it's first proposal was refused by President JFK (who was conveniently assassinated shortly thereafter), only the target was changed from Cuba to the entire Middle East it would seem.

Name that song challenge: "The only lyrics I know are 'beautiful life'. I don't want to sing it because I don't like my voice when I sing. I don't know who the artist is. I don't know the genre. I couldn't tell you the year or anything else about the song. Oh, and the words may not actually be 'beautiful life' but that's what I've always sang them as when I hear the song."

Sometimes I think how nice it would be to have a relationship after all this time being single. The other 99.9% of the time I just wank and be happy.

Getting burned for braving the light is better than walking in shadows forever afraid of getting sunburn.

It's crazy looking back at old pictures, realising how much everything changes. You never even notice at the time, but then you get older and suddenly your past is full of strangers faces and hazy memories of times that once meant everything to you.

14/09/2016 @01:03
Do you ever find yourself checking in on people you used to know, like old colleagues, friends etc that you see in old photos and you wonder how they're getting on in life, so you end up flicking through loads of profiles just seeing if they're all doing well, and you just smile nostalgically for the memories of the times you used to know them?

I been around for a while; sunrise, sunsets.../
Ran a thousand laps of the track, every inch of the map.../
I've done reps... bench pressed off drama.../
Arms flexed, broad chest, pushed myself harder.../
Farther as a Father for respect.../
Bittersweet karma kept my arse in check.../
No stranger to neglect.../
On the line I placed my neck.../
Blade broke across my nape.../
Got my life in perfect shape.../
I'm not someone death can take.

Ridiculously difficult leaving little pumpkin tonight; she cried, screamed and bawled that she wanted to stay with me rather than go home - this was on the doorstep of her Mum's with one of her Mum's friends present. It was that bad that at one point her Mum even snapped and said "One of these days she'll be coming to live with you because I've had enough of her saying it's what she wants". In the end Ilysha got shouted into the house with tears streaming down her little face, still saying she wanted to come back with me, and I felt so heartbroken walking away.
