Meh the Vote – Campaign Music

You may remember the logo I did a few weeks back for the Meh The Vote 2016 campaign started by the Black Guy Who Tips Podcast. Now there’s a song to go along with it. The feel of the song is supposed to be patriotic and evoke the fanfare of horns associated with a lot of western ceremonies with warlike drums.

Lyrics

Verse
Who you voting for, You don’t know what the answer is
You ain’t passionate about none of these candidates
You don’t think any of these clowns are electable
But still need to take the time out your schedule
They don’t really care about the electorate
All they’re concerned about is a super delegate
And I’m getting tired of the rhetoric
There’s no need for me to try to put it delicate
I don’t fuck with none of them, like I’m celibate
Write my own name in, for the hell of it
My grandma said she got blast with fire hoses
I said thanks, that’s why I went out and voted
She likes to talk about the “Ballot or the Bullet”
I’m in the booth so I might as well pull it
Had to get batteries for the remote
Guess I’ll go MEH the vote

Chorus
All my life I hads to Fight
Gonna exercise my rights
can’t just kick it with your folks
Go out and MEH the Vote
Choose the lesser of the evils
One’s a snake and one’s a weasel
All these guys are fucking jokes
Go out and MEH the Vote
All my life I hads to Fight
Gonna exercise my rights
can’t just kick it with your folks
Go out and MEH the Vote
Choose the lesser of the evils
One’s a snake and one’s a weasel
All these guys are fucking jokes
Go out and MEH the Vote

I made this other song back in the fall for the Ben Carson campaign that’s not really meant to help, but was a parody of a few songs out there that were genuinely trying to make the good doctor with the gifted hands be a viable candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

Bottled Up!

The Water Crisis in Flint Michigan is a little unbelievable. I’m working on a song to vent my anger.
Been trying to figure out the whole trap sound, I’m too old school. There’s a sound effect of bubbling water and deep bow strings reminiscent of the jaws theme.

Here it goes.

(Intro)
A yo! It’s critical out here right now
America’s got a sickness
I think there’s something in the water
Oh, you want clean water?

(Verse)
It’s Bottled Up!
We talking ’bout brown water
For brown sons and brown daughters
Stagnant lake water
Where you wouldn’t even wash your face water
Have a sip, this is how racism tastes water
Make you believe the white man invented AIDS water
Evil, the way they did Tuskegee and shit
Or, maybe politicians just greedy and shit
They like, “These broke niggas don’t vote,
Lazy, threw ’em in the Flint River they wouldn’t even float.”
Big bully Business
Kick a town when they down
Industry done gone
Them jobs ain’t around
So, bail out a bank
But let the city drown?
Reduce a citizen to a budget line item
Look to you for leadership, and you sucker blind side ’em
Blood on the leaves, man there’s blood in the water
The blood’s on your hands
Lead pipes led lambs to slaughter

(Refrain) X2
Can’t keep it bottled up
Gotta Bathe in Bottled Water
Politicians Poppin Bottles
Whole System Out Of Order

(chorus)X2
Wait, hold up
Let me get this straight
Ain’t Flint Michigan
In these United States
Turn on your faucets
All you see is toxic waste
Not just a tragedy
It’s a national disgrace

(Refrain) X2
Can’t keep it bottled up
Gotta Bathe in Bottled Water
Politicians Poppin Bottles
Whole System Out Of Order

Scared To Dance

Here’s another attempt at a Novelty Halloween Song, a dance track with a more upbeat tempo. It’s a weird one, about a ghost girl that wants to dance with a laid back fella, for some reason.

Lyrics

She said it’s not a costume
And grabbed my by the hands
She Asked if I was afraid of monsters
Or was I just Scared 2 Dance

She wanted me to dance on her grave
That’s why she came to this masquerade
It would put her spirit to rest
If I could stand up to the test
This ghostly girl who shot me a glance
Taught me not to be Scared 2 Dance

She said it’s not a costume
And grabbed my by the hands
She Asked if I was afraid of monsters
Or was I just Scared 2 Dance

She visited from another plane
And didn’t want to tell me her name
She only wanted to dance with me
The only way she could be set free
So what’s a little dirt on my pants
Now that I’m not too Scared 2 Dance
She taught me not to be Scared 2 Dance
She taught me not to be Scared 2 Dance
And now I am not too Scared 2 Dance

She said it’s not a costume
And grabbed my by the hands
She Asked if I was afraid of monsters
Or was I just Scared 2 Dance

A Spear Chucker Now – Chuck Spears

So I was feeling a little nostalgic and looked through my old rhymes on my old blog, Stop Trying To Play Me and came across this post. I decided those lyrics needed to be punched up and laid down on a track. . I’ve been meaning to sample a scene from Bowfinger, one of my favorite movies. So I did exactly that

Verse 1

The thing about Chuck Spears, it ain’t my given name.

It’s my taken name and right now I’m takin aim.
Not a muh f**ker outchere – trying to make it rain.
Money over bichez – (all day)- flying paper planes
(Eat -mangoes) so a chick can get – flavored brains

(swallow every drop) – don’t gotta think about – labor pains
(Bastards ain’t mine) – other dudes gotta take the blame
(Players gone play) – give a f*ck – if you hate the game

Verse 2

Used to, hold the door for chicks like Johnny Be Good
Now I bang ‘em in the bathroom like Mami we, good?
Throw up the peace sign, throw up in the next stall
Then jump on the stage and holla, Yes Yes Y’all
We Don’t stop, throw your hands in the air
And say Ho, grab my nuts. See? I just don’t care
‘Cause it ain’t even a show there ain’t even a mic
On a table in a diner rapping with a butter knife
Missed the gig, my bad it was the other night
Am I wrong for that, these days I don’t do nothing right
I’m dead wrong, good thing I’m true and livin’
Try to check me on it, come on, who ya kiddin’
I’m Chuck, Part Samson, Part Charles Manson
MMM Bop I’m Part Hanson, just start dancin’
No reason to stand still I like moving targets
My Spit got you open – kinda like chewing carpet

Verse 3

Bald head and goatee, like a black ming the merciless
sickness contagious on some dot dot circle shit
in a dark cabin I’m creepin up all murderous

brains on the walls confuse obituary journalists
put on headphones see how mind blowin my vesres is
for example watch a star from afar like Copirnicus
Straight heat to ya grill, like you’re pressed up on furnaces
No more Mr. Niceguy, Chuck Spears gone Bezerkowitz
Cross me on a bad day and all ya dreams turn to shit
having Nightmare see ya old Granny turning tricks
got ya drooling down ya chin, kids gotta learn to spit
Don’t even practice with my lines – guarnteed to burn ya lips

Pull Pile Podcast – Closing Down?

I designed the logo and did some graphics for the Pull Pile Podcast some years back. It was a proud moment for me. But alas, the podcast has come to an end. So I created these parting gifts for them.

Nugget – The Homicidal Honey Bear

Here’s a song I made for the What Say You podcast. The What Say You Podcast consist of Brian Quinn and Sal Vulcano from the Tru TV series, Impractical Jokers. In the podcast they introduced the idea of a psychotic honey bear named that Sal tried to carry on board a flight. They proposed an animated short contest for the honey bear, who the discovered was named “Nugget.” I made a song inspired by the Hanna Barbera theme songs I loved in my youth to maybe be animated at some point. Below is that glorious song.

Here’s an accompanying cover pic for the song.

Sound Off All-Stars

Getting the Beeboy project running. Making more progress than I ever have. Now there’s a brief introductory “posse cut” with the Stunning Beeboy’s main rap antagonists. Mogadishu, Thug-O-Nomics and King Midas.

Sound Off Records is kind of like the Def Jam of the Beeboy universe. My friend @gee2tha wanted to name the label Blind Jelly, for a more direct correlation, but I think Sound Off works on many levels, it works as a military chant, it alludes to that idea that something is a little wrong, or off with how the label is so successful and finally the beats knock so hard it’s blow speakers and overload your mixers, turning your sound off.

Here’s a temporary logo for Sound Off Records, to be cleaned up later.

And here’s the Posse Cut.

I went the usual suspects type record cover, because it was the obvious thing to do, a police line up with gangsta-ish rappers. It also doubles as a scale for the character models.

Sound Off – 1, 2
Sound Off – 1, 2, 1, 2

Mogadishu, Mic Check – You ain’t running for your life yet?
Your pants wet and I ain’t pull out my knife yet

Sound Off – 1, 2
Sound Off – 1, 2, 1, 2

Thug-O-Nomics, Mic Check – Not a minor life threat
5-0 on deck and I ain’t even pull a heist yet

Sound Off – 1, 2
Sound Off – 1, 2, 1, 2

King Midas mic check – Just got of my private jet
Wanna see me, better get your eyes checked

Sound Off – 1, 2
Sound Off – 1, 2, 1, 2
Sound Off – 1, 2
Sound Off – 1, 2, 1, 2

But I CAINT!!

My mind was being fried by the cute animal gif gig I’ve been doing, so I went to cracked.com in the forums and looked in the Artist Work Order Thread. Someone requested this:

Hey folks! Mind if I ask for a two-panel thing?

Imagine a dumb middle-aged guy, looks a bit like Woody Harrelson with a crew cut. In the first panel he’s all listless, you know, just kind of out of it, and he’s saying “I want one too…” But then in the second panel he bursts into anger, and he’s shaking his fists and quivering with his eyes bulging out and everything. He’s shouting, “BUT I CAIN’T!!”

I’d really appreciate it if somebody could draw that for me. Thanks in advance!

I thought it would be a fun exercise, so I whipped this up in about half an hour or so.
