'The Appetizer EP Vol.2' for dummies
Posted on May 22, 2010 with 0 commentsHello everyone,
Usually T.Q.D’s Corner is a chance for me to wax nostalgia about Hip Hop days gone by. While I certainly will resume that next month, this month I am taking a moment to talk about The Appetizer EP Vol.2. Basically, this is a series of “lost tapes” songs that won’t find a home on a full length, but are deemed worthy of sharing anyways.
The first volume of The Appetizer EP series were simply the songs that didn’t make the cut when I was recording my album Clench, Grit Breathe. Volume 2 is composed of songs that were created during a 5 month period immediately after the album was finished. I planned on having this EP focus on rapping with new delivery techniques and not so much emphasis on personal stories. Life had other plans, so my subject matter changed as well.
Without further ado, I’d like to break down The Appetizer EP Vol.2
“Roll The Dice”: I have a strange feeling this relationship is on the way out, based on certain behavior, but I can’t prove it. If I’m right, that’s probably not a bad thing.
“Rookie Season”: I can’t believe it. She dumped me. This is some bullshit. Oh well, peace out.
“Curtain Call”: She wants me back, but I want no part of it.
“Seinfeld (feat. A.Po)”: Like the hit TV show, this song doesn’t stay on topic. Me and A.Po just rap about whatever for a few minutes.
“Donovan McNabb”: There’s a moment after a situation has soured when you have an epiphany and realize exactly how and why everything really happened the way it did and that just makes you more angry.
“Go To Die (feat. EZRA)”: My amigo EZRA and I wax poetic about dive bars and their charm.
“Back Burner”: In the midst of intense female drama and a good friend passing away, I needed to make a “tough it out” song.
…and there you have it. That is a simple breakdown of the tunes. If you haven’t already listen, the link is below. T.Q.D’s Corner will return to the usual format next month. Until then, enjoy the EP.
