| well well well. it was fun for the first bunch of people, but this has just gone wayyy too far. enough is enough all you april fools. i didn't get signed to star trak. i got signed to aftermath w/ dre, jeez.
alright nevermind. no record deal, no money, no chillin with n.e.r.d. no cristal, no bentley, no jacob jewlery. just the rough realization of what can happen when you bust a good april fool's joke:
1. friends become really happy for you.
2. friends become really angry at you.
3. your roommate gives you the most sincere, heartfelt man hug u've ever had, but shoves the shit out of you and calls you a cocksucker 799 times (and still counting) when you tell him it was a joke.
4. strangers... lots of complete strangers become happy for you.. some from being put on featured content.. (wtf?) and some from friends sharing the news with their friends and friends of friends' friends.
5. so many people congratulate you that they almost convince you that you really DID get a record deal.
6. and then you realize that hey, wait a sec... i really DON'T have a record deal. i'm still broke and in school. yay.
so in the end, this joke went way too damn far and i'm sorry to everyone who was genuinely happy for me. i told everyone i ran into in person or talked to online that it was a joke on thursday, but people who stop by here and don't talk to me personally should know too. but at least realize that it has backfired tenfold because 1. i now know that if anything good happens, chances are i will be celebrating by myself, over a six pack of yuengling. doh. and 2. i was working on my set for the friday yuan show and at 3:30 in the morning all my samples got erased right as my keyboard was saving to disk... and i had to fuckin start my shit over, seeing the sun rise, goin to work, and basically not closing my eyes until 3am the night of the show. add the fact that we lose an hour from daylight savings time, and u get one fucked up me. BUT you gotta admit, that was a dope story and i got y'all GOOD... woulda been something dope to tell my kids and family in the future if something like that does happen. ANYway. in other news...

I FUCKING GOT A RECORD DEALLLLL MUTHAFUCKAZZZ!!! YEAUHHHH!! HUWHAATT!!?!? HOHKAYYY!!!
now that arista has gone out of business, the neptunes' label star trak is in limbo, so i figured what the heck, might as well give them my shit before i never see these people again. i played them my demo yesterday, and i didn't want them to know it was me so i told them it was a friend of mine... they said they were really feelin him, so i told them i could bring him into the office on thursday. i come in this morning, and they're like, where the hell is this dude - and i said "you're lookin at him." "fuck you, you're lookin at him. whatever," was the comment i got with a laugh. they wouldn't fuckin believe me, and it was funny at first cause it's april fools day and i was actually telling the truth... but eventually i was so close to completely flipping out and bruce lee-ing the whole damn room to the floor. so i kept on, and continued to insist that it was me on that demo and told them i could prove that it was if they found me some keys or drum machines... so we went to the nearest studio's keyboard, and i kicked every single track on my demo on the piano and on the drum kits beat for beat and note for note while they sat there and bugged out cause i had just played all their asses for fools, on april fool's day, no less. they wanted to sign me on the spot, but i gotta get my family's lawyer to look at the shit first before anything OFFICIALLY happens... but like BIG says, sall good baybuh bayyby!  i'm probably not gonna have nething out anytime soon (with soon meaning within the next half year, to year most likely) cause they're just taking me in as an artist/producer for development... but it's cool cause so far, i'm verbally committed to STAR TRAK BABYYYY!!! i'm'a be chillin w/ pharrell and chad!!!! holy shittt... talk about a turnaround to this shitty ass fuckin week!
