日本の。。。 Update!

I have a major update concerning my upcoming Mini-Album 日本の。。。

The Album is almost done! I just have to write one more verse for one Track and record it.

Plus, i have to produce one Song. After i've done that, it's basically done.

What is already done is the Artwork and the Tracklist. This is how it's going to look like:

The Cover

The Tracklist
(These Tracks are all going to be on the Album, but i'm probably gonna shuffle them a bit around before i release the Album.)

And to make you a little bit hot for the Album i wanted to talk a little bit about the Album, the single Tracks and what you can expect from this Album in general.

First things first: All Tracks on this Album are going to be in japanese. And that's not just the case for the Lyrics, but also for the Beats. Each Track is recorded and performed by myself. The Beats are also done by myself and there are no featuring acts.

This Album is something that i always wanted to do: I'm a HUGE Fan of traditional japanese Music. Enka, Shamisen Music, Biwa Music etc.. And in this Album i tried to take samples from traditional japanese Music and merge them with Rap Music. So besides simple drums you are going to hear lots of traditional japanese instruments in the background (shamisen, biwa, flutes, shakuhachi, etc..)

I also used some samples from Enka singers (one from the Biwa master herself "Tsurata Kinshi") and let them sing alongside a basic Rap drum.

So yeah, japanese Rap is my most favorite Music, i only listen to this nowadays. But what i like the most, is if they use traditional japanese instruments in their Tracks, which happens way to less, in my opinion and with this Album i'm trying to change that a bit.

And now i want to talk a little bit about the single Tracks. What they are about and what you can expect from them.

01 イントロ (INTRO)
Runtime: 02:58

This Song is to get into the Album. It has no drums, snares or anything. It's just me rapping over a looped shamisen sound, played by the master "Takahashi Chikuzan".

You can kinda compare this Track to "Keepin' it real" from my previous Album.

02 MUSIC OVER BULLSHIT
Runtime: 3:14

I already released this Track several months ago on my YouTube Channel. It was just a little diss track against mainstream "Artists" namely Lil' Wayne, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.

In this Track i kinda went "overseas" and took a sample from China and looped it. So this Track features chinese music instruments.

03 私、僕、俺 (I, I, I)
Runtime: 3:52

These are the three different pronounciations for "I": The "formal" one, the "manly" one and the "rude" one.

This is a Track where i tell everyone who i am and i manifest my love towards asia.

04 日本の。。。 (Japan's...)
Runtime: 13:35

As i write this i can tell you that i haven't produced this Track yet, but i already know what it is going to contain:

This Track is going to contain a "standardish" drum-kit. I'm probably going to add some shamisen and shakuhachi sounds.

I'm not going to rap on this Track at all. I will add some Enka singers on this Track. Usually traditional Enka features one singer, who is playing an instrument by her- or hisself. And sometimes there isn't much music in the background, so i'm going to merge traditional japanese Enka singers with modern Rap music on this one.

05 MURDERVILLEだぜ
Runtime: 6:18

Just me, representing my Label "MURDERVILLE." I'm gonna tell you how i tick, where i stand in the clique and i'm also gonna talk about the rest of the Crew.

The chorus however, is sung by a japanese Enka singer. And on verse 2, you also hear "Tsurata Kinshi" on the Biwa and on the Microphone, as well. I think you'r going to be surprised how "modern" traditional 

japanese music can sound like.

06 It's 大K (It's OOK)

I know, it's a bad pun. You spell "大" as "Oo" and it basically stands for something big.

This is a more heavy track, where i have no clear topic, i'm just rapping what comes into my mind to a more heavy kind of Beat. This one contains hard drums and shamisen sounds.

Yep. That's all. On this Album i'm trying to show you how good traditional japanese music sounds like. All in all it's a merge between traditional japanese music and "modern" japanese HipHop Music.

As i said: The Album is as good as finished. Basically there are just two more tracks and then it's done.

I'm currently trying to pick up the pace, so i can finally present you this new joint.

Until then: Feel free to share this Post with everyone, to let everyone know that there is something HUGE coming.

Thanks for all your support so far, and let me know what you think about the artwork or about the Album in general, by leaving a comment below this Post.

Gay? No way!

HAPPPPYYYY NEW YEAR!
Yeah, i know it's a bit late, but better late than never, right?

However, i know i'm not posting very much, but i actually plan to change that.
I'm planning to post on this Blog whenever there is something in the world going on that either disgusts me or makes me go like "AWWWWWYEAAAAH!"

And this time it is this:

(IMPORTANT: Note that i'm being sarcastic at the beginning. I say that almost at the end of this post, but keep this in mind while you'r reading.)

So what do we have here? A protest against Justin Bieber? Or a "What have u done?" protest against Justin Bieber's parents (which could most likely be, if you take a look at the 3rd picture.)

No. It is OF COURSE a massive protest in france against gay marriage.

I think this protest lies in the past already, i think it occured sometime in January(?) so it may be a bit outdated, but i still want to give you my opinions about this middle-age parade.

All i can say is: I support this hilbilly parade to 100%! All these men and women who participated in this protest (who would probably have no remorse to burn gay people on a stake if we would still live in the middle ages) are not afraid to say that, what every normal human being with no brain thinks:

That is:

There is no place in this world for gay people!

If you are gay, you should mark yourself with a star that says "Gay".

If gay people are married, they shouldn't have the same rights as heterosexual couples, because heterosexual couples are like the "alpha males" of couples. They are right - and gay couples are wrong. Always.

Gay people should live a lie until the end of their lives. Which means that gay men have to marry women, and gay women have to marry men, simply because the protesters want it like that. Feelings of gay people doesn't matter because, as already mentioned: They are wrong.

And what if they have a baby? OH MY! Those hilbilly kids would actually bully this poor little kid because it has 2 mothers or 2 fathers. Ohhh would some please pass me my aromatic salt?

Your value as a human and your dignity is not meassured by your job, what you have accomplished so far or by your friends. No. It is meassured by your sexual interests. Just think about Elton John. He isn't really gay, he's actually hetero, he just wants the world to believe that he's gay, to give gay people some courage.

As i said: I totally support this hilbilly parade to 100% because i have legit right to know what other people are doing behind closed doors, because... er...

AAAH!  MY SARCASM BULLETS ARE EMPTY!

With all honesty: Those people just prooved to themselves that their brains are stuck somewhere in the middle ages. I mean: Why does it matter if someone is gay or not? Look at them. They are human beings for f's sake!

It is the same as to discrimate someone because of his color. That's just plain idiotic.

I don't care what people do behind closed doors, why should i?

What do you guys think about this stupid, meaningless protests in France or homophobic people in general? Is there still hope that they will grow up or will they stay ignorant and brain afk for a longer time?

Let me know.

日本の。。。 Previewtracks- and Beats

The release of my new Mini-Album 日本の。。。 is drawing closer... somehow.

The Album will contain 5 Tracks. I already recorded 2 Tracks and i just have to write lyrics for the other 3.
But to proof that i'm trying to release it as soon as possible i just uploaded a little Preview for my Album. The video contains short snippets from already finished Tracks and Beats. Check it out, to see what i got in stock for you.


And speaking of which, i also wrote translated lyrics to the Intro Song of 日本の。。。, which is called "イントロ" in the description of the video. So if you want to know what i'm rapping about in the intro then make sure to check that out, as well.



Or alternatively i've got the translated lyrics for you right here:
☆せいこ(王)☆ 「イントロ」 (INTRO)
Translated lyrics
Nice to meet you, i'm Seikou
Just a Murderville MC
This is the Intro
This is the flow of the world's #1 idiot
The best rhyme provider, the comedy inovader
The world's #1 idiot isn't a "OG" but a lyrical Shogun

I drink 100 liters of skill
What is my City? Oosaka, of course
I'm a giant, please give me the mic
I make the mic go like "Please, more"
What is my favorite word (phrase)? It should be obvious...
*北条麻紀 speaks*

Azusa Kirihara, Houjou Maki
Maeda Hina, Yuu Kawakami
Lesbian JAV's are the best
Straight (hetero) JAV's are the worst
Yes, i'm your teacher
OK listen to this, this Album is good for you

The megaupload comeback?!

... and that's not the only one, because i'm gonna make one, too. On this Blog.
Even though i would say: "Don't call it a comeback, i've been here for years." Yeah sorry. I had to make that reference.

First off, i want to apologize for my lack of posts lately. I'm currently running another blog that is rather popular, so i more or less had to neglect this Blog right here. But i'll try to provide you with some more posts on this Blog, as well.

Anyways i was browsing the web a few days ago and i found out that Megaupload was shut down. True, this message is kinda old now, but there are some news concerning the founder "Tim Schmitz" and megaupload in general. I watched a Video about the current situation and i didn't really get all the stuff about the litigation, it sounded kinda difficult.

Filesharing in general

But what i did understand is this: Over the course of 5 years "Ludwig Maximilians Universität" Munich along with the Copenhagen Business school investigated the sales of movies within 49 countries. And they came to the conclusion that sales from indipendent film companies were affected by the closure of megaupload. Not affected were, of course, blockbusters, but that's not really a surprise, since they have huge amounts of money and they can easily spend it on commercials and stuff. So filesharing isn't always as bad, is it?

Another funny thing concerning file hosting: In Japan they passed a new law concerning "illegal downloads."
They also did a survey about one week after the law was passed. Guess what they found out? Yes, people spend less money on Music. Think about that.

The MEGAUPLOAD comeback?

But back to Megaupload.
It seems like Kim Schmitz is already at it again. He coded a new side already and said that the code is finished to about 90% by now. The name of the page is "MEGA."
What? No, i don't like the name, it is literally called "MEGA."
He also says that it will revolutionize the film and music business. Those are big words, right?
The launch for this page is supposed to be at the 19th of January. And if you look at the page you get even more excited, because if you hover over the large red button in the middle of the screen it says
"ON JANUARY 19th THIS BUTTON WILL CHANGE THE WORLD"

I'm really curious about this, especially if he says that this page will "revolutionize the film and music industry."
I don't know why, but somehow i got a strange feeling about this.
If you want to take a look at the page, there you go:

http://mega.co.nz/

Notice the big "WE PROMISE WE DELIVER ~ BIGGER. BETTER. FASTER. STRONGER. SAFER"... now honestly... you think the same, don't you? Probably the perfect filehoster to upload porn to, isn't it? The catchphrase just fits perfectly."

I also checked out the button "How the new MEGA will work" and it sounds really cool.
The key part about "Easy privacy" that says
"You hold the keys to what you store in the 
cloud, not us."
Sounds perfect, doesn't it?
But really, check out the other cateogies under the "How the new MEGA will work" button, it sounds very promising so far.
