Take Me To Your Leader Mixtape




My letter to the blogs,

I am a struggling artist that has released a Mixtape called Take Me To Your Leader. It is called that because i want people to take the attitude from this album to the leader in your life, and they should take this attitude to the leader in thier life, until we reach the leader.(who precieve as god)

I wrote this CD in a mental hospital, I was there for six months having smoked angel dust and being a schitzophrenic. This Mixtape is very creative. On one song I die, go to hell, meet big L, Pac, Biggie, and they tell me what they think the rap game would be like if they were still alive. It is called Death Note and has garnered a significant buzz on the web.

I also have a song called comic books, where I go through every comic book character i can think of. This CD is one of my greatest works but i am finding it difficult to promote this CD. It has been posted on Kevin Nottingham but i have yet to be interviewed except once on liberators of hip hop. I want it to really get a buzz because i am gearing up for my first LP entitled Chocolate Milk.

I am offering as many interviews as i can. Exclusive songs for each blog that accepts the task of helping me along, but i really need this. I am in love with a girl that deserves the world, I have been writing for so long and this is all i am really good at, and I need to show the world that people can overcome mental illness and it's okay to be different. All I ask is the chance. Check out the links below and let me know what you think.

I am from a small city in georgia but i want to show the world the south got lyrics and we can make real hip hop.

Thanks for your time,

Marcus Banks

Charles Hamilton~The Pink lavalamp


Charles Hamilton~The pink lavalamp
Genius is not often appreciated. I looked at Charles as a gimmick....but he has humbled me. I should have known something was up with him when I saw him recieveing such hate. Hate means someone is on they job. This dude is the future....imagine being a great street baller then going to the court and seeing someone that is so incredible you know they are the greatest ball player of all time. He makes me want to go back to the gym and practice so as i was about to post my music up i felt....unworthy to step on the court again until i knew my shit was a challenge. Charles is the first Mcee in a long time to make me do that, Charles is the one right now. The Ufo cosigns this message charles is on his shit. He is incredible.If you have not checked out his album please take a look at it. It is amazing and I hope you all give it a chance.It is entitled The Pink Lavalamp and it is the best thing out right now. I knew it was classic after first listen. It is up there with Illmatic to me. Why? Because Nas is nice, Jay Z is nice, but Charles is the first rapper for me. He really speaks for me, he makes me not want to rap anymore because he embodies everything i always wanted to say. Jay-Z never could really speak from my perspective.The UFO has landed on Planet Charles Hamilton....no homo.He is lyrical, beats are more than beats they are like....he's to nerds what tupac is to the thugs.Please download this shit. Go find it. No links...go find him.
See why they signed him for millions. Why Joe Budden hangs out with him. Why Kanye's ghostwriter wants to battle him. Why soulja boy can't stand him. Why kids are wearing tight jeans and shit....why he was on the cover of XXL without an album out.

Peace

Stop blaming the media....


Power of Media
Music

The media….
The blasted media. They come under such fire for being the reason people are living through such a miserable existence called life. But if life is existing then how does the media determine your reason for living? Sure I can offer you plenty of drugs but it’s up to you to take them. You may take them and try them and if you complain about the results of the drugs why would you continue to use them? How intelligent is that?
I think the media controls me through the news….but hey turn on CNN what’s going on? The media only informs you of what is going on, it is up to you to decide on if you want to listen to it. In the film Mo Better Blues Denzel Washington and a beautiful actress say the term,”People either teach you one of two things what to do and what no to do?”
Sure they may tell you that the house is on fire but do you smell smoke? Of course you do that is the marijuana that all the famous rappers are burning as they do drive bys in the hood everyday. That is the fire of the rock bands as they make crystal method on their tour bus as they pop xanax and millions of willing women unveil garments and fight for their attention. Reality TV! We must keep it real! But what if reality isn’t real to people?
It seems as if people accept the lies. The things they know could not possibly be true and run with it. A commerical isn’t literal, the news isn’t always right, but can you blame the news for someone stupid enough to accept it.
I cannot knock any musician that makes music for a certain genre and makes money of creating words and painting pictures. The people that respond to that are the foolish ones, and emulate that are the idiots.
Don’t say the “N” word. Girls say they are tired of being looked upon as objects but then another woman get’s on a commercial and takes her clothes off for money. So is that the media’s fault or the women that participate. We are what we make ourselves as a society.
The media can force a genre of music or clothing on you all they want but it’s up to you to buy it. We make the stars and then tear them down that is the basis of entertainment….building up a star then tearing down a star to make room for another star. The media has power but we the people give it power.
I don’t take anything off face value. No one makes me do anything I don’t want to do. Now I will show a quick video that I found interesting.

The funny thing about this song is that…..well, it speaks so generally about society they are so wiling to accept something off of face value and not do the research because they think it’s preety or in other words popular.
This song came out at a time when grunge was popular and people were nirvana fans just to be nirvana fans. It’s always a struggle to keep the purity in music once it becomes popular. The posers pop up and it is incredible they suck the life out of art. The media gives us the chance to choose between art and entertainment. Life and death. Intelligence or stupidity.
The media actually if they controll everything it’s good. Some people if they can’t think for themselves need to be thought for. So some people probably owe the media a favor. What would you do without the media if they think so much for you?
But I digress. Thank you Kurt Cobain for making a special guest apperance…..and remember the media doesn’t kill people, people that think the media kills people kill people.

Faliing in a quick sandcastle Mixtape dropping 4/20


Hey Spacecowboys,Let me explain to you guys something. I am aladdin....I felt i had to be fake to be loved that's why i faked my death. I was on my prince ali shit. I am very lonely i created a fake girlfriend on here. That's so fucking sad....I took some emo girls pics and made them my own. I am a loser in so many aspects, i am about to go into the studio and record this mixtape I am faliing into a quick sandcastle and this mixtape will probably show the world what an idiot i am. I am releasing the first single off it tonight which is produced by Hanz and will be on the Chocolate Milk album coming this Summer.It is called Elmo(smoked the L) which means emo. I hope you check it out...I know a lot of you won't I have accepted being a loser. On a lighter note, I am a junkie that is hooked on the drug of loneliness and as hard as i try i can't get off this trip. I am on a train that is headed towards destruction and spider man aint around to stop it. Guess life ain't like the movies huh? My real girlfriend is sleeping with another man and she is playing the shit out of me. She really hurt me yo.....I am dead inside. So i am dwelling into the thing that usually understands me in these moments.....my genie. My music....hopefully my genie will grant my wish. I need to the genie to help me find my jasmine and as i have this monkey on my back, I am still fly.....fly on a carpet.I am aladdin.

I am here to tell you life sucks but i'm a dick sometimes so that's good. I look at the world and man it's beautiful today....I have so many things to say in this blog. First off the Mixtape is dropping and I hope you guys check it out...It is coming 4/20 and it is a depressing attempt at fame. So i can stop living of my parents sucess and have my own. I bought some more clothes today....I will post the new look soon. I see that a lot of people don't view my page. Who would want to? I am a nobody, always have been. I am a nobody that thinks he's a somebody so i am just like you in a way....and you don't like yourself so you don't like me and would rather look at another hip hop artist.Who could relate? I guess as i sit here typing listening to Charles.....oh yeah i have been hamiltonlized or whatever you call it. That i regret a lot of things in my life and I can't get over a lot of things. Like the women i loved, the hopes i once had.....I want someone to replace the love i had at sixteen. That will never happen....I am just in the past you know? So I cannot be here if i am there, that's why i rap with lyricism and things of that nature....stuck in the golden era of rap.I hope you guys know i ain't shit....that's why i am never touching paper. So when i release this song tonight i know the hurtful comments are coming but the critics tell me what i already know....I am a loser.Hey what can i say?But damn.......depressed is what i am. I am what i am, you are what you aren't so if i have to be like you and you aren't you we are all lost. I have to be me....even if it means no one will ever love me.

See Ya Space cowboy
