today i finally got a relatively minor technical issue squared away w/some Refinery fuel files. i'm getting closer to where i want to be before i continue refining the fuel tanks.
w/1 minor exception due to strong vibes, i haven't crafted any new fuel since last November when the youngest sabotaged the system. it took about 3 months or so to get those issues settled. even though the system is back up & running relatively smooth, i have put off making anything new.
i'm still doing a lot of organizational work. it is highly necessary. in addition to organizing, taking this time off from working on new material has allowed me to ear the pre-existing tanks in very different ways. i think the time off has been more beneficial than not. i feel like there are certain things that need to be addressed in the arrangements/mixes.
1 absolute benefit is that it appears the issues w/vocal recording have been properly resolved during this time off. now it's just a matter of shaking off what i feel is the rustaciousness of not really spitting anything live on a regular basis for the last 5-10 years. i never stop writing, so that's not an issue. i will always write as long as i can formulate thought & physically handle writing utensils.
the issue as i see/feel it is spitting off the top w/fluidity. i've never made a habit of spitting writtens in the street. i just don't see the purpose in it. i dig spitting off the top when out. i reserve written material for use when recording &/or organized performances. off the top verbals are just more challenging & entertaining to me when in a street cypher. in addition to all this i write way too much to memorize everything that i write.
for various reasons, i haven't really been hanging out w/other MC's like i did in the early to mid 90's. for the most part it just got to where i was no longer motivated by cats talking about rims, whips, gats, & bling. i refuse to hate, but i actually have to feel what i'm doing to sound like i feel what i'm doing. call it a character flaw...
the process of the Refinery is the foundation & basis for the realization of A.B.B....
ALWAYS BE BUILDING!
get at me...
...be calm...
