...And It Continues...



On the Pure Music front, we have a lot afoot and a lot to be excited about but in the meantime, I'm opening the vaults back up.

Every project that we do seems to have a back story and both 20/20:The InVision and Are&Be both started out as two totally different projects that transformed into the products that I am sure you are all familiar with.

I want to go back to a time, a time when we were all in college and I was flying back and forth sometimes bi monthly from D.C. to Atlanta to work on the follow up to J's Feed The Kids project. Being that we are all HUGE GIGANTIC Michael Jackson fans with J being the biggest fan (of his music), he had the idea of a mixtape project entitled J.Kwest is The Thriller in which he would sample all 10 songs and remake them in PureMusic fashion. Well, with old trusty Ant Pharm (I sholl miss that guy) in tow, they began crafting the tracks that would make up this project. As we were working on that, the songs J was doing were really getting good and he also made somethings that had nothing to do with thaconcept that even I agreed were good enough for us to release. That, in a long run-on sentence of a nutshell is how 20/20 came to be. This is why 20/20 has 2 Thriller related songs ("Starting Something" and "Human Nature").

For this edition of unleash the heat, I am letting go another one of the J.Kwest is The Thriller songs in its unfinished and unmixed greatness. Please let us know what you all think of this and look out for more as we continue to unleash joints. Perhaps for the next edition, I'll let something go that I told J I never wanted folks to hear.

This song could have been something if we sat down with it and figured out what was wrong

Antpharm played this joint for me a few years ago. I always thought it could have been something too.

Ok, let's start with the lyrics. Homie, please save them and use them on another track. I can clearly see why this joint didn't make the cut but the lyrics are on...they just don't need to go on for six minutes.

Now, about that beat...hmmm. This is a tough one. It has mad potential but is definitely missing some things. The hook is cool but I can't quite place what exactly is missing. Also, the track (to me) is incompatible with the message of the lyrics. This sound more of a "All The Time"-I-wanna-have-fun-and-praise kinda beat, not go call your mother and cherish every moment of life kinda beat.

That's my tuppence on it...PEACE!!!

I think it's matter of J circa 04-05 to present day J.

Growth is essential for an artist. I think given this same track today...it would be a winner.

You can still hear the nervousness in his voice. It was a solid effort though.
