My Lucky Charm..

Fuck, man! This is great! This is the real deal. It has a real voice, you make the reader 'hear' it like it was on the radio. It's got rhythm and it flows. It just flows out of you. And it's smart. It's not gangsta rap for rap's sake, it really has something to say, it's not just trying to be cool. This is a love letter for the 21st century. I've read most of your poems here and they're all good but this - this is GREAT. I guess you could say I kinda liked it. Respect.  redTbird.

Mr. Peppz, Mr. Peppz,

You deserve a standing ovation on this combination.  This was really touching.  As a reader and listener, I can tell this is straight from the heart. I respect a person that realize and appreciate what they have before it's gone. I truly enjoyed reading, listening and watching your work.   Thanks for sharing! : )

.... thanks ChocoDrop.. i bow in appreciation.. this is straight from the heart.. im glad you enjoyed.. took some work but it turned out even better than i expected.. the director is amazing.. will let you know when the next one is completed.. thank you again.. 8^/ Peppz..

The animation was on point too.  Interesting and kept the listener focused on your flow.  Presented a very real perspective with a lot of swagger yet tenderly shows a thuggish devotion to your spesh.  I mean, a brother speaking volumes about his "Ride or Die Chick"- This was way cool.

Only complaint I have (being a musician) was that the words would have flowed better on top of a simple but hard hitting backing track throughout.  Something with a good bassline, a real syncopated percussion and a killer keyboard pad.  That would have given this a lot more impact.  Just my 2 cents.  What you think about that?

....thank you my Brother.. i appreciate your compliment as well as your complaint.. honestly.. it has taken me some time to respond to your  comment because it strikes at the heart of my internal conflict..  
 
you as a Musician and i myself having a musical history do understand and agree with the complaint.. short of making this explanation a novel i have pondered..  
 
allow me to appeal to the Poet in you.. its as close as i can get to the Spoken Word in me..  as a Musician and to a certain extent as a Poet.. one must adhere to scales and measures.. (framework) as I understand it.. Rapper/Singers must work within such framework.. it is what it is and beautiful melodies. songs and such derive of this mixture.. I love it.. but I don’t like restrictions.. in these places I feel caged.. plus I have a healthy dislike for the music industry as it is presently run..  
 
Spoken Word to me is the most raw, holds to no scales. measures. styles and so forth..  broadest of platforms where oratory. emotion and a Poet’s ideology meet.. to captivate an audience for more than mere moments I see as one of the greatest challenges for an entertainer.. aside from writing novels.. (sad to say few of my targeted audience know or choose the pleasures of a good read.. )  
 
I am that of a story teller with Native American roots..  and a junky when it comes to a challenge.. I see Spoken Word as the rawest and greatest platform of debate.. to add melody as I see it would taint its truest of forms.. (e.g. one cannot nor I think one would add melody to ones written poetry… nor would a comedian. debater. politician or preacher allow music to be played during his or her set.. and what that of the solo Violinist?) Word has a level of communication that I have no simple explanation for.. in my head the music is playing with the words.. simply curious if it does the same for others.. lol.. corky.. i know..  
   
At this time my Brother I am in strange and unfamiliar territory.. I know of none that do what I do.. how I do.. though I have come across fascinating Poets and people of Spoken Word.. I a lil different and have no pre-established path to walk on.. those I have found closest to what I have to offer in their pursuit of wealth have chosen to be that of Monkey grinders.. (to each his or her own).. but He who guides my steps does not allow such self indulgence..  I am in an attempt find my place..  
 
let us do this.. I will make a few more like this.. Spoken Word with no melody.. the pieces have a wide range in format.. the idea im toying with in my mind is to score the pieces.. but lets see how you and a few others I respect.. whom are concerned about bringing the audience the best there is to offer feel after hearing them.. then we can take it from there.. I am in no ways closed to growth.. I have listened and learned from the best and will continue to do so..  apologies for the length of this response.. but you did ask a writer a question.. lmao.. a good one at that.. thanks Mr.M… 8^/ Red..    
 

You have left me COMPLETELY speechless... and you tell me I got talent. Oh no... I am NOT messing with you AT ALL. Awe, total AWE.

...tyvm Bliss.. honored.. and i mean every bit of the talent you have that i speak about.. but i love to perform and Papa blessed me with a golden horn.. to have you in awe sets me on my special cloud.. thanks for the time to view.. plz do cum again.. 8^/ Peppz..

You're sooooo talented!  You're words resinate deep... Femme, she's not only lucky- but she has inspired you to share- I'm feeling lucky to have experienced this!!#Banger!
