...And it gets confusing

currently listening to Robin Thicke - Can You Believe/I Need Love


So as I'm getting closer and closer to a more complete sound for the album and even more surprising close to a definite idea for a mixtape. The album has highs and lows and is basically my perspective at this time BUT random events pop up which just gives me more to write about. Problems are like the kids in your family who came over to visit and FUCK YOUR WHOLE ROOM UP and then your mama make you clean up the mess they made by yourself. So thats where i'm at now, I got alot going for me but these damn kids keep fucking up my room.


1) I'm in the process of trying to throw a back to school concert and this dickhead wants to send me through a million and 1 hoops when "it could all be so simple" (thank you Lauryn Hill and whoever said it before her). At this point, I dont know if it will happen or not but its only gonna be worse for them if they dont do it.


Of course while you're cleaning the kids turn around and break something real important to you and you spend alot of time trying to fix it but the thing aint easy to fix by yourself but no one's helping you. This is a metaphor for my relationship with my girlfriend at this time. There have been many of times where we have been perfectly happy with eachother and she's been the best thing in the world but as of lately somethings been changing. Her attention isnt me anymore, its hanging out with her friends. I dont have a problem with that but you gotta balance it out. Its like when its just me and her, someone interrupts and its back 'girl time'. So Dre is back to chillin by himself...well not completely. Now i have never cheated on my girlfriend but i'm constantly being tempted by other females who like me for either what i do or thinking that they can get a free ride and even some who just really wanna genuinely want to get to know me (the most dangerous). I've turned down some fine ass girls in my day and i've never really regretted it. Its hard when the one person you want to pay attention to you attention is elsewhere. So as i'm trying to keep this thing together by myself, someone else is trying to take me away. I guess she just gotta step it up cause there are people trying to tryout and take her spot and the only way they are is if she give it up to them.

...And so it starts

currently listening to: John Mayer - St.Patricks Day
First off welcome, this is Add-2's Ecletic Perspective and this is where i'll be spilling all my infamous thoughts to any who are willing to read it. If u know me u know i'm not one to hold my tounge in most cases but at the same time i'll do my best not to be off the wall.


So Whats new...

As of right now i'm still writing towards a project entitled "Add-2 Presents: The Rise & Fall" and its been going pretty good (writing wise). Alot of producer have been sending me beats which is always fun. I've had some people surprise me and then i've have some people send me some beats that sound like the theme song of M*A*S*H with a fast beat or your fathers version of a hip hop song and thats never a good thing. But 2 any and all producers still hit me up cuz i'd love to hear you and see how it goes.



One fan/friend (i hate to call people fans cause it just sounds odd to me, idk why) sent me some artwork that was really fly. His names Cello, he's dope. Over the years I try to keep all the artsy things ppl give me or put me in cause its amazing what creative people can do. Here's some of the ones he did (keep in mind they are only rough drafts...still fresh none the less)
