GODSOwn DJ's Website

Hey what’s the happs. So I picked up a MPC One standalone DAW around the time of the last stimulus. It’s really been a great tool and has me motivated to make beats and music a lot more than using a DAW on the computer. I have a couple of computer based DAWs, but I work in IT 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I get sick of “working” in front of a computer a lot of times. The MPC One doesn’t feel like sitting at a computer and it’s a lot of fun to use. The workflow is very easy to pickup and it’s very powerful in terms of what you can do musically. If you’re a person that wants to make music, but find you don’t like sitting in front of your computer to do so, I’d highly recommend picking up a standalone MPC. The One is affordable but if you can afford the X or Live 2 go for those as well. I also wanted to say that I’ve been slacking on this site a lot. I want to at least post every Friday and I want to get my reviews page up with more reviews of some of the products I’ve had first hand use of. I’m going to work on the site a lot more lately. I’m also going to try to advertise it on my Youtube videos more often as well. At least leave a link in the description section of the videos I upload. Thanks for reading and see you next time!

Hey what’s going on. It’s a late Sunday afternoon and I’ve been scratching all weekend. That’s pretty common for me these days. I don’t watch much TV unless you count Youtube clips and I prefer to spend most of my free time in front of my decks. I’m getting better and better and scratching. I heard DJ Babu say once that you want to get to 10,000 hours of scratching. I did the math on that and it would take about 3.42 years at 8 hours a day. I work full time so doing it 8 hours a day is kind of hard with work and other responsibilities. I get in the time when I can though and when most people are watching TV I’m standing in front of my decks. I wouldn’t trade it for the world and feel grateful to have the setup I have. I recently sold my Numark Scratch as I didn’t really use it much. I took the Innofader Pro I had upgraded it to out before selling though… hehe. I know a lot of DJs collect mixers but I don’t really see the point of that. I’d rather collect vinyl records, slipmats, and DJ needle carts. It looks like we’ll be getting the stimulus from the Feds pretty soon, so after I get some bills paid, I’ll have a bit of dough to spend. I’m probably gonna pick up a few albums off Discogs or something and call it a day. I was considering getting a Traktor Z2 mixer or a MPC One standalone sampler/DAW, but I have decided against that. I’d rather buff up my collection of music. I’m really dedicating myself to scratching and hope to look back to this date, 3/7/21, and be able to say I’m tons better a year from now. I’m definitely seeing progress so let’s get it! Take care and stay safe out there….

Hey what’s up visitor! So I’ve still been djing all this time and I’m getting better and better at scratching. It’s a lot of fun and a very cool hobby. I like it a lot. Music moves me deeply and I love the drum. Scratching is like learning to play guitar or piano. You manipulate the pitch of the sound sample to make different sounds and vibrations of the tone. The more intricately and uniquely you can do that, the better it sounds.

I recently picked up some new slipmats. I bought some beatjunkies mats off someone online. They are great slipmats and work very well. I like them even better than my Dr. Suzuki Skratch mats. They work very well on their own and don’t need a slip sheet. Another thing I wanted to mention is that I’m noticing I seem to “scratch better” when using the Innofader fader cap as opposed to a fader cap I bought online. They are both plastic, but the size and feel of the Innofader cap feels better and makes me want to scratch as opposed to the other one which is kind of bleh. Maybe that’s me being weird or superstitious like a athlete with some weird pre-game ritual or a certain sock he’ll only wear when playing.

We’re still in the throws of a pandemic but hopefully we are on the tail end of it. Whatever “they” were testing and getting data on.. hopefully it’s over and we can get back to some normalcy. I don’t agree with taking a vaccine and wish everyone who does the best. My mother-in-law took it but she’s in her 90s. I pray she’ll be ok and everyone else who decided to trust the powers that be and take it. I don’t trust them as much given their track record, so I’m taking a wait and see approach. Best of luck to you reader and stay sane and safe!

Alright, so I’ll take a break from the theory talk and too much seriousness. I wanted to write briefly about the current state of hip hop. The current state of hip hop has some conspiracy wrapped in it too ironically. You can’t get away from these topics wherever you look. So back in the Genesis of hip hop, emcees wanted to show how large their vocabulary was. How many similes and metaphors they could use. It was about storytelling with lyrics or even just educating with lyrics. I’ve heard rappers from that era talk about walking around with a Thesaurus so they could keep their wordplay sharp. We went from that, then in came the gangster rap. There came a group of young guys called NWA. Not all of them were really gang members or lived that life, but they certainly looked the part. They were rapping about a life in many ghettos around the country and it was captivating to a lot of people. Once the industry saw how well that type of music sold, they started putting more acts together that approached hip hop in that way. A lot of the guys they found were fake gangsters, and hadn’t gang banged a day in their life, but again they looked the part and were good talkers, so people bought it. Around that time, there were some conscious rappers like Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, and lesser known atists like Shabazz the Disciple but that style of rap generally wasn’t in the main stream at a certain point. There are people that say that gangster rap was ushered in as an effort to further corrupt the minds of the people, especially young black people. There’s a lot of compelling evidence on that topic. Professor Griff’s book “The Psychological Covert War on Hip Hop” is probably the most notable work tackling that subject. Even with gangster rap, lyrics had remained a part of the craft although they were often vulgar and profane. Fast forward to the hip hop of today, and much of the lyricism has been lost. There are rappers in mainstream now that have no talent and are not skilled writers or wordsmiths. They call some of it mumble rap, and that’s exactly what they do on a track. Back in the early days, a rapper had to spend time writing in his or her rhyme book, then from there you had to pay a lot of money to get studio time to work with someone to make a decent beat for you and to record a demo tape or any tracks at all. These days, a $300 laptop is capable of running a music creation program that would allow a wanna-be rapper to make beats to their hearts content. Not only that, but people with actual talent, who may not be well known, are able to make beats and distribute them on the internet for low prices, whereby these mumbling rappers get ahold of it and mumble over it. There’s a current rapper that’s well known that got “discovered” on Soundcloud with a song or two he made and put up there and that got traction. The young kids of the day listen to the music and they even say they don’t care about the lyrics, they just like the beat. There’s a whole science behind that statement, but it has to do with the dumbing down of people gradually from the food we eat, the things we see, and the music we hear. When I was young and also at this age, even though Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Jefferson Starship, Lisa Stansfield and other people weren’t necessarily from my generation, I still had the ear to recognize it as “good music”. Some young people listen to Nas or Mos Def and think it’s trash music. They have no ear for music. Music on a whole has taken a huge step back, and the amazing talents of Mo-Town and yesteryear seem to not be the music stars of our current time. People with a good “look” and a large marketing machine behind them rule the airwaves today. That’s my humble opinion on that. I love music, but most of the new music that comes from newer artist isn’t worth the time of day. Til next time….

You should check out the movie “A Gray State” on Netflix. It’s more of a documentary about a movie that was to be made. As you watch it, look at what a huge snowjob it is. That young guy, was a born leader, extremely organized, had military training, knowledge of Agenda 21 and NWO initiatives, and was motivated. He was a very big threat to the plans of those in the shadows. Do they really expect us to believe that 2 grown adults both “went crazy” and killed themselves and their daughter? You know that scene with his “father” who played the video of the guy AND his wife talking cryptically about some entity they’d encountered gave everything away. Now either that was fake, which is why the camera was pointed at a lamp the entire time, or it was real, and those people were being affected by mind control. There was another video they showed where it seemed as though the mother was talking about hearing a voice or entity in the home. I posted already about MK Ultra and mind control.. that’s very real. They can make people do things by convincing them they are interacting with a deity or supernatural force that has their interest at heart. The fact that they tried to make it seem as though both adults had lost their mind is really the trigger here. Sure there are instances when mold spores, or something they both were eating at dinner, could have caused psychosis in them, but pull back and look at the big picture here. You have a young, militaristic, perfectionist, leader of a young white guy who is making a film about the impending doom of people in society. He’s putting all the pieces in place to get the film worked out and is succeeding. All of a sudden him and his wife apparently kill themselves and their 5 year old daughter whom they love very much? That doesn’t make sense. There is obvious foul play involved and it’s unfortunate that the guy and people don’t investigate further the weapons used against people. They may have been mind controlled. Guard your mind and guard yourself. The Hermetic Prophecy does talk about God ridding the world of evil, but God works through people on this earth. Be his instrument in whatever way you can. You are not superman or superwoman, but do your part to bring good in.
