old poems

what up word,

seems like every time i tell someone that i write poetry they, think "yeah right, everybody wants to be a rapper what makes you so different." well, i honestly can't answer that, and whether that makes me less of and emcee is up to you guys but this is just a sample of what is to come assuming that i can get a studio fund together *lol lay-a-away lol* but anyway here's an older poem that i wrote listening to some Lu and thinking about the state of music in general no particular genre just music hope you enjoy, please comment too! kinda long i know, but its entitled the MIC.

The MIC

The first time i held the MIC was a breakthrough

Salvia-less flow still i manged to breakthrough

blessing rhymes with there blessings and currency

Sonic is a free product of life's downloads and others are disorderly

going thru the motions roller coaster derailed progression

throwing up gang signs boy scouts learn a lesson

almost a fast break kit kat rappers acting out at night

maybe from lack of self respect or love, giving others insight

my first time holding the MIC was a dream

everything in my mind makes sweat shop rappers a glimpse into what it really seams

Martin Luther can only say so much needing the intervention

P.S. the bio's on T.V. will never tell us what were missing

but i don't have the scratch to catch the bus

honestly i'd rather walk then succumb to a label makers trust

Its something that i'd never ever do again i think backwards

Krissing and Crossing others lives as I dart thru traffic

Dallas right now is my home missing the midwest

The first I held the MIC she said i do it the best

even though were from to different worlds

she stil knows how to mix and master and hears the underling tones in my words

disrespecting my self for the pursuit of franklin's

the reason some people live and push coke on each station

radio w/o the fuzzy logic

mathematically speaking myself Asher and Sonic are all profits

only soliving the problems of the world thru musical equations

staying on the outside looking in and keeping college style illumenations

enlighted ourselves and others thru the beauty and hatred of transportation

others in the fast lane searching for the H.O.V no time for drugged out conotation

The first time i held the MIC is was a perfect match

Venus women and Chocolate dutch niggas, in my sleep i cook up a better batch

the only thing that stays in same is my love of music

people tap into there pure imagination thru the green house effect, but when they hear me they lose it

he's not Em, niether i'm I, but i'm black and were full of De LA Soul

The first time i held the MIC people lost control

New school, new class MC's need to take notes

feeling the body of a woman lyrically w/o degreating quotes

Positivity is the only thing i cant rhyme it seems i cant make cents about makin sense in a rhyme?

all questions no answers

you look funny holding a MIC, people following others leads like Mr.chancler

well, i could be like you except i have the need to provide for my life

The first and last time I held the MIC will be the same thing twice.

GREATEST PHONE CALL EVER!!!!!

WHAT UP WORLD?,

Okay, i cant really explain the rush i'm feeling right now, like i feel like that kid that got the sexist,thickest, most limber chick on the cheerleading squad to have his children, THATS HOW MUCH THAT CONVO INSPIRED ME!!!!!! I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN IT BETTER BUT I WILL OFFER THIS AS A STARTER AHHHHH!!!, THAT CONVO WAS THE SINGLE MOST NERVOUS CONVO I'VE EVER BEEN IN! BUT IT WAS A DOPE NERVOUS! LIKE A CAN SEE MYSELF AND CHARLES LIKE CHILLIN AND TALKIN ABOUT INCUBUS AND MAKE BEATS, MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHARLES JUST MOVED INTO MY TOP 3, YEAH I SAID IT TOP 3!!!!



ITS MORE THEN JUST GETTIN ON STAGE AND SPITTIN REMEMBERED SONGS TO A BEAT, I LOVE THE WAY ALL THESE NEW ARTIST THAT ARE COMIN ALONG MAKE ROOM FOR THE CUSTOMER, OR IN CHARLES' CASE *STARCHASER* THAT PHONE CALL SINGLE HANDLY BOOSTED MY CONFIDENCE 100 MILLION PERCENT THANKS CHARLES!!!!!! I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEDED IT!!! TO SEE SOMEONE COME FROM WAAY WORSE SURROUNDSING THEN MYSELF AND STILL MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO HIP HOO MUSIC AND LIFE IN GENERAL IS AMAZING! MOST RAPPERS MIGHT SAY THAT THEY REALLY GET INTUNE WITH THERE FANS BUT THEY REALLY DONT MAKE AN ATEMPT TO AND ITS SAD.

I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST HEARD OF CHARLES HAMILTON, I STUMBLED UPON HIM ON HIM IN A CVS, I WAS IN THERE TO GET A DRINK AND I SAW THE FRESHMAN XXL COVER AND THE FIRST PERSON THAT I NOTICED WAS W.A.L.E. MAINLY B/C OF THAT ROOTS TRACK, BUT ANYWAY, I YOUTUBE'D EACH OF THE MC'S ON THE COVER AND C.H WAS FIRST, THE FIRST TRACK I HEARD WAS "NOVEMBER 10TH" WHICH WAS A SAMPLE FROM CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY WHICH WAS DOPE!!!!!!!!! AFER THAT I BECAME A INSTANT FAN, BUT I REALLY ENJOY THE MESSAGE THAT HE BRINGS IS R E A L M U S I C, THE ONLY PERSON THAT WA BRINGING REALY MUSIC BEFORE C.H WAS LU, AND KANYE, BUT I LIKE THE ROCK INFLUENCE, B/C JUST LIKE HIM I BELIEVE THAT THE ROCK GENRE BRINGS A "REALNESS AND EMOTION" WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT. NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT MUSICIAN'S HAVE A BIG HILL TO CLIMB AS FAR AS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY GOES *GO FIGURE, RIGHT?, LOL* BUT ITS HARDER FOR A MUSICIAN TO EXPRESS HIMSELF/HERSELF AND DO WHAT HE/SHE ARE KNOWN FOR DOING B/C THE LABELS WNT COOKIE CUTTER KINKO'S COPIED RAPPER, NOT MC'S R A P P E R S. THE MOST INFLUENIAL LINE I'VE EVER HEARD FROM ANY MC SINCE LU: " I'M BLESSED TO BE IN A POSITION TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH, IF THEY KILL ME FOR IT, LET ME DIE ALONE IN THE BOOTH."- JEEZY HAMILTON.

IF I HAD TO DESCRIBLE CHARLES HAMILTON'S RAPPING IT WOULD BE KNOWN AS

"ABSOLUTE TRUTH-

"Absolute truth" is defined as inflexible reality: fixed, invariable, unalterable facts. For example, it is a fixed, invariable, unalterable fact that there are absolutely no square circles and there are absolutely no round squares.





B/C NOTHING IS MORE REAL THEN LIFE, ESPEICALLY WHEN YOU'VE LIVED THRU CERTAIN THINGS THAT SOME PEOPLE ONLY DREAM ABOUT, WHICH IS STUPID TO ME, I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY PEOPLE HEAR CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE LESS THEN POSITIVE, THEY ATEMPT TO RECREATE IT AND GLORIFY IT, I UNDERSTAND CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CASE MIGHT BE VALID BUT MORE OFTEN THEN NOT THATS NOT THE CASE. I THINK THAT.......WAIT I KNOW THAT I'M JUST ONE OF THE MANY CHARLES STANS THAT ARE OUT THERE BUT WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT IS THAT I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CRITICISM AND LEARN FROM IT, FOR INSTANCE WHEN SONIC TOLD ME THAT HE UNDERSTOOD MY FOCUS BUT I NEEDED TO BALANCE THE INDUSTRY AND MY REAL LIFE, IT CLICKED THAT THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN STOP ME FROM SUCCEEDING IN THE INDUSTRY IS MYSELF....AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE TO ANY PERSON THAT I LIED TO BY STATING THAT I WASN'T SMART OR HANDSOME OR ANY OF THE ABOVE THE REASON FOR THE APOLOGY IS B/C I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT IT TAKES SOME THAT HATES THEMSELVES TO SHOOT DOWN EVERY SINGLE POSITIVE STATEMENT EVER MADE, I GUESS ITS FROM MY SURROUNDINGS, BUT I CAN'T SOLELY BLAME IT ON THAT, ITS ALSO MY UNDIEING ABILITY NOT TO GIVE UP, I GUESS THATS WHAT THE MAIN FOCUS OF MY LIFE IS ABOUT NOT GIVING UP OR GIVING IN.





THIS SONG IS FOR MY FUTURE WIFE THE WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL NIKKI JEAN...

MY ENTIRE LIFE I'VE ONLY CONVERSED MUSICALLY, EVERY SINGLE CONVO I'VE EVER HAD HAS ENDED AND BEGUN WITH MUSIC, NO MATTER THE TYPE JUST MUSIC AND CHARLES IS ONE OF THOSE OF DUDES JUST FROM TALKIN TO HIM FOR THE 10 MINS THAT I DID THAT LETS ME KNOW THAT HE'S VERY SMART ON THE BUSINESS FRONT AS WELL AS THE MUSIC FRONT. I KNO THIS MIGHT LOOK LIKE A LONG OBESSION WITH CHARLES BLOG ENTRY *WHICH IT IS* LOL, BUT I JUST WANT HIM AS WELL AS EVERYONE ESLE IN THE XXL FRESHMAN CATERGORY THAT WITHOUT YOU GUYS THERE WOULD BE NO ME, SO THANK YOU!!!!


P.S.

THANK YOU AGAIN CHARLES *LISTENING TO THE TRACK "SHININ'"*

SUICIDE HAS BEEN IN MY LIFE AS A LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER BUT I KNO NOW THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE UNDERSTANDS MY FOCUS, AND THAT TRACK HELPS ME GET THRU EACH DAY, SUICIDE CREEPS IN BUT I'M LIKE "IF CHARLES CAN MAKE IT SO CAN I ." SO BASICALLY I'M SAYING THAT YOU AS WELL AS 5 OTHER ARTISTS ARE KEEPING ME ALIVE!! *STARTS TO CRY A LITTLE*. THANKS!!!

Sonic help!!! These Bots are back!!! SIKE!!!

What up???

kinda late for a post but whateva' *on my sonic sh*t* lol, anyway the reason for this blog is b/c many people that THINK they know/knew me, have NO IDEA what there were gettin into by that i dont mean strictly friends, girlfriends or anybody that gets into youtube messages battles about who i think is wack and WHY there better then ANYBODY before or after, but whateva, my voice on music isnt just MUSIC its instinctive, now by that i dont mean MADE FOR ONLY ONE PURPOSE, but i DO believe that a lot of people that support there favorite artist or artists have NO IDEA WHY they support them!! lmao!! everybody can hear but not everyone listens, let me repeat everyone can hear but not everyone listens, BUT that is expected when the people that make GREAT music in MY opinion, dont get the rep they deserve, Let me get this out the way now, so people wont hit me with stupid comments: CHARLES HAMILTON HAS BARS!!!!!! anyone that thinks other way doesnt understand the history of MUSIC and being a MUSICIAN not just artist or rapper. *what up sonic*. People fear what they dont understand, b/c it makes more of a point to hate on someone or something when others like it then it does to LISTEN and make you own DECISIONS, i remember when Kanye first came into the industry people were like "WTF??" but now look at him in his own words he even said " you wont be able to think about music without mentioning my name." deep, but true, and you have to respect and honor someone with that type of personality to just take over everything in a short period of time, so give all the utmost respect to 'YE, Cons, GLC, Really Doe, Kid Cudi, 88 Keys, and all of good music, dont worry there's a reason why a chose Sonic and Kanye as my topics of discussion tonight, mainly b/c there just that dope at what they do, but personally there the only 2 MC's/producers that i could see myself kickin with on a daily basis and not get starstruck, *well, maybe a little.....lol*, but really, confidence gets a bad rep in MUSIC period not just hip hop, i rememeber reading in Jimi Hendrix's bio that Little Richard was jealous of Jimi and he said somethin along the lines of " no one can look better then me." but if you put that in the context of music now, sonic and 'ye are like NO ONE CAN F*CK WIT ME! and there backin it up every step of the way, and if you think i'm lying check ANY youtube video or interview and BOTH mc's/producers are like " yeah i'm me, who are you?" but not in a cocky way which is what i respect the most about them, not to say that ASHer or Cudi or WALE or B.O.B or any other young up and comin mc's are just cocky and outta control, but here's the thing an MC is more then just a rapper that stands on stage and spits a memorized song, then gets a check and bounces to the mall, NO!! and MC is a Master of Ceremonies, which means that they know how to take control of a crowd on and off the stage, let me put in into perspective, any MC can be a rapper, BUT no rapper will EVER BE AN MC, i don't care how many mixtapes you release or how much autotune you use, sorry :(!!! being a mc is MorE *ME, lol*of an lifestyle then a career choice, its easy to tell the difference between the two, the easy explanation is that A RAPPER IS A PERSONALITY, most rappers can't be there self in ANY situation, no matter what it is think about it! think about your favorite rapper, first then picture then doing something normal, something totally out of the ordinary you couldn't! rappers are MADE mc's are BORN. A real MC isn't afraid to express themselves and arent afraid to be A REAL PERSON!! how many "rappers" start out with a 9-5 then become big stars and FORGET that they are real people?? smh.

FIRST BLOG EVER!!!!!!!!!

What up What up What up!!!!

How is everyone???? this is the first blog entry ever!!!!! my name is Bryan Thunder and i'm a up and comin poet and musician, i've been thru a lot of ups and downs in my life and i'm at the point in my life where i can express them ANYWAY i want too YES!!! *LOL*.

This blog will filled wit random facts about life and things i find interesting, maybe not so much to others but interesting to me at least! lol.

before you guys say anything heres the story behind Bryan Thunder:

Tallen Bryant is my government name, but like many girls have done in the past, people can't say or spell Tallen to save there life, so i decided once i figured out that i wanted to make music for the rest of my life which wasn't a hard decision for me to make, i started writin poetry first just as a way to express myself and say things that i didnt know how to talk to someone about, my first poems kinda sucked *lol* personally, but i gave a couple to my friends and teachers and they gave positive feedback for the most part, so i was like "hmmmmm, maybe i have something here??" lol. so i took others advice and kept writin' and perfectin' my craft, it wasnt until EMINEM's first album that i wanted to pursue music profesionally, seein that people could tell stories but make funny and relatable to everyday life was amazing to me, b/c most of the rappers in TX when i was growin up werent really speakin on anything relatable to me and what i was goin thru, i mean i was 15 and i never shot anybody or sold any type of drugs so i couldnt really relate to what they were saying to say the least, so instead of followin the crowd i started listening to bands like Sum 41 Blink 182, AC/DC and many others which was frowned upon by my follow classmates, notice i did not say friends b/c i dont have many friends just assiocates and family, i believe that people dont really except things that are different, but me on the other hand i got into othere genres b/c of the fact that rap music back then was so repetitive that all the artists began to run together, but with rock,jazz,folk, classical and so on your possibilities are endless as far as music goes, but back to the whole name thing a ThunderDuck is the mascot of the college that i attend *shoutout to my homie Money, i see u* but most attend college just for an education and finding a siginficant other, but for me i was always into learning about myself FIRST then retaining knowledge from books so with that said it was only right that i chose the place and helped me mature as a man not only as a student so thats where the Thunder comes from and the Bryan is my last name w.o the T. *lol*. First blog kinda dope!!

I know too many words.....right? whateva' *what up Sonic?*.

"BE A PROTON" life's tooooooo short.

-PEACE
