	my biggest problem is that everyday i think of 50 different albums i want to make. about 8-10 months ago i got on this kick where i was going to make a hip-hop double album, where every song is completely 'Off-the-Top' freestyling. 'Off -the-Top' freestyling means that you are completely improvising the rhymes you say, as opposed to saying rhymes which you've written beforehand. of course even when you are improvising you will say certain rhyme schemes that you always say, the way any musician will mostly rely on techniques that they practice all the time. anyway, this double album had a set of rules to it, like a DOGMA film. every song was to have just a drum beat (that i create), one non-percussive noise or sample, and then an improvised live vocal performance on top of the beat. not only that but each song was supposed to be completed in one-night, and the album would be created in exact sequential order. meaning the first song on the album would be the first song i recorded, the second song on the album the second song i recorded {and so on and so forth}. are you getting all this? believe me, this might seem over the top in terms of a description but people will mull over every aspect of every thing that i create someday so this stuff is important. so anywayz, the album was going to be called 'the 1 Beat, 1 Sample, 1 Off-the-Top Flow Album'. so i recorded i think 4 regular tracks this way, plus a comedy skit (made with the same rules) and a weird little DJ piece called 'skatonabeatjuggle' (made with same rules). the second disc of this double album (which was going to be the first album with any vocals by me on it at all, everything prior having been instrumental]; this second disc was going to be one long giant song called 'The Big One' made up of a bunch of different short songs {ala beastie boys 'B-Boy Bouillabase'}. each beat of this song was to be in a completely diffrent genre. so i made 7 i think beats, put them all next to eachother, and then recorded a 25-minute off-the top freestyle over the entire piece. 'W-Burg Coffehouse Girls' is one of those parts. the beat for this one was designed to be kind of like a radio hit, but my style and with only drums and one sound. the one sound on this one is actually a real simple scratch of a 'stab' sound. i am sick of writing this description so i'm cutting this short - this is all improvised, though i did know that i wanted to rhyme about this subject for this beat. this one is funny. i never ended up putting out this album - it was too sloppy for a vocal debut, i had only been rhyming for like 5 months when i recorded it - put 'The Big One' turned out pretty amazing, and i give it out to some people and plan to release it (on my own of course) as it's own CD. note: there are no effects or reverb on anything here. the beat was made on the ASR- and the vocals were recorded straight from a mic into the DAT. i'm like punk and shit.
