OG Maestro Knows Episode

Maestro Knows - Episode 1 (Nike Air Yeezy) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.

The VERY FIRST Maestro Knows episode... And this is when I become inspired to become better.

To me Maestro Knows is just more than an internet show. Levi Maestro is a guy I aspire to be like one day. This dude is probably the definition of dope, ill and every synonym alike. I really do look up to him. I've even had conversations with him. He even wished me happy birthday. That meant a lot to me. It's amazing how successful this guy is. And all the people he knows. And yet he's so humble. Man, I could write all day about how I'm inspired by MK and all the dope stuff he's done. But I guess I'll stop here.

Who the hell is Flash?

Lately some people have been asking me who the hell is Flash. Or why do I have the Flash shit? Well, the Flash is a comic book character and this has just taken a life of it's own. I have multiple fitteds with the lightning bolt. Anyone who knows me knows I love DC Comics and especially the Flash. Everyone liked Batman, Superman, Spiderman. I opted out to be different. I love The Flash.

The Flash is now just more than a comic book superhero to me... This is now what I do. Who I am. What I live for.

Flash or DIE.

Choose one.

FormSpring... SMH

It amazes me that a lot of people claim to be "real" in this world but, people can't seem to get the balls and say shit to your face. Like if you want to say something negative about me.. Please say it to my face.

Like people on formspring try to "hurt" my feelings by spreading negativity.

They either want to call me fat, say I suck at football, I suck at rapping, I suck at getting girls. They want to call me ugly and unattractive. Whatever...

I just brush it all off though. I don't spread negativity to people. I try to be as positive as possible. All that anonymous hate shit is sooooo dead. Like I'm NOT really fat. I lost 30+ pounds... And people have the audacity to still call me fat... That's probably one thing that kinda pissed me off... But I think I'm gonna lose 15 more just to give you people more reasons to hate... And then ok, I don't really suck at football either. Trust me. I don't. I may not be the most talented guy out there. But, I handle my own. I'm not a bitch. If I'm out there I'm not gonna let people push me around.

And I've said this time and time again. I'm NOT really a rapper. I've never really claimed to be. And people always want to come at my head about it. They always want to make fun of me about it. People never really understand. Some people can relate to what I say. I may not be a DOPE ass emcee. But I am a dope writer. And a lot of people agree. If I really wanted to put my soul into rapping I could be a dope ass rapper.. Matter of fact... Next year, I will. Bet!

Last but not least... I have no trouble getting girls. Please, I just don't have my business all out there like everyone else. Just because I don't fuck hoes every weekend, or date all the females doesn't mean I don't get girls. I've had my fair share. And the girl I want now doesn't really know what she wants. So, I'm waiting for her to make up her mind about shit. AND I BET my girl is prettier than half the hoes these niggas who say I don't get any females fuck with. I don't fuck with ugly females. And my chick is shitting on half your roster.

If you have anything to say to me... Just say it to me. Don't be anonymous.

*PS... I'm NOT ugly... My mom says I'm handsome... lol

Al B. Back - Jungle

JUNGLE from Creative Control on Vimeo.

For those of you that don't know. This is "Brooklyn" from ATL. His real name is Albert McDaniels aka Al B. Back. He's a dope emcee and a dope poet. I really like this guy's stuff. He is pretty dope. Look out for him

DC Hat.

Wow, girl of my dreams.

Smile is so bright the sun gets jealous

I guess that's why you just brighten up my day.

Even if I see you for just 2 seconds

Those two seconds just made my day.

You're the best blunt I'll never have.

But yet I'm still lovestoned.

Lovestoned out of my mind.

I can be Cheech you can be my Chong

I really don't know why I'm comparing you to drugs.

Maybe because you're so dope.

Give me a chance... Yeah, I hope.

I like the way you look, even when you smoke.

Like woah, the way you just stand there

The way the wind blows your hair.

Damn, one chance and I swear... I'll be the best you ever had.

 If I had you I would always wear my DC hat...

Yeah, I love my hood but I kick it where you stay at.

=)

2/22/10

Man, today school wasn't really all that exciting. All I did was think about was sleeping and a certain person... and at the end of the day I got to see this person... and even for those 20 seconds that we just talked... It was so dope. Like I appreciate the short moments...

And man, I was so tired today, maybe I'll go to sleep early. Eh, who knows.. Maybe I tommorow will be better... I hope so.

"You can plan a picnic, but you can't predict the weather"

I'm actually writing this with the intention of making things change. I know if you read this you will analyze every single word and such. I really miss you. Like we used to talk everyday. But now, we're strangers. We both said we were going to be friends forever and it looks like forever wasn't forever. I know it goes two ways. But I want you to talk to me first. It seems like you don't even miss me... Like I walked past you today and you didn't even gesture to say anything to me... I miss you, the old you. I used to be able to tell you anything and now I can't even tell you "hi". I feel like you don't even want me around and it sucks. It really does

How do we go from talking everyday to this. We're lucky if we talk once a week and that's only because I text you good morning... You were my best friend and now we've gone from that to this.

I'm wondering where I went wrong. Did I do something to make you stop talking to me or what? If I did, I'm sorry and I would like to fix. I wonder where you've been because you haven't been here. How's life, how's your bf situation, how's school, how's everything..

I miss you with my whole heart. Because you are my whole heart... I could never love anyone as much as I love you. I could never tell someone else some of the things I've told you.... I just wish we could be as close as we were.... Thanks for hearing me out..

Love always,

Your dear friend Marcus...

Wale - My Sweetie

Yeah, You

#nowplaying N.E.R.D - Yeah, You

I like the vibe of this song... I like the instrumental...

I'm just really into writing about love lately. That's something I feel... But I can't feel. You understand? There are certain individuals I love and some that I'm iffy about. Like blah.

Girls are coming and going and then they are coming back... Like wtf. Please make up your mind. Please, either you want to leave or you want to stay. There is no in between with me. If you don't want me to hit you up please know. Like you are gonna end a conversation mid-way. and you think you can call me or text me and expect me to answer immediately. Whatever. Females are sooooo dumb. But hey, I can't live without em.

Oh, well....

Update Post

Man, oh man. It's been a minute since I wrote some deep insightful things on this blog... So I might do a little something.

But so far '10 has been a little crazy. Things haven't gone as planned... They have been up and down. Women problems. School problems. etc, etc. But things are looking up for me. I hope.

I'm currently listening to some old Mickey Factz... Man, this ish goes so hard... Heaven's Fallout. This guy is ILLLLLLLL. Trust me. And btw, a lot of people have been coming to me to put them on to new music. I can't say I don't like that.. haha. I do listen to a lot music that people don't listen to. And I usually do have all the new tracks before anyone else does.... So, I guess I would be the person to ask. Get at me.

And I have to pay more attention to my blog. And I have to write something new for this talent show. Maybe a song or maybe even a poem.. Maybe a poem. So, I can show off my passionate side... I better get on that.. And I need to get on the ball for school. I mean it's easy but I'm just lazy. Maybe I need more energy or something.

I should start working out soon. Football season next year. Who knows if I'll even play or not. Whatever though.

Uhhhhh... that is all I have to say. Ha. =)

I feel you Red...

In this picture here I feel like this red M&M.

Surrounded by those different from me

Those who will never understand

People who stay around and kick out feedback

And I always entertain it as if I need that

I really don't. Your opinions don't mean much to me anymore.

To: B.K.A.D

The apple of my eye.

The girl who I love.

I promise that I will never put no one above

Yes, you're the one.

Jayden is what we would name our son.

I want to keep you around for a while

Baby, I love your smile.

You're the truth baby.

So I promise I'll be honest

In the future we'll fine like wine.

I'll never put another over mine...

You promised me forever

You promised me you'll stay

So, I'll love you forever and it'll stay that way...

*Mixtape of the Week*

Download the mixtape here!!

Mixtape of the week goes to Curren$y. This mixtape is called "Smokee Robinson". This is probably the illest mixtape put out in 2010. Like every song on here is very dope. But my favorites have to be "Jordan 3's", "Bout It", "Racing Stripes" ft. Dom Kennedy, and "Monte Carlo Music". Like I can listen to this everyday and just vibe off of it.

Curren$y was once signed to Young Money.. Man, if you ask me I think Lil Wayne made a mistake. This guy would've made that label the new Roc-A-Fella. For real though. He's one of the best out there right now. If you don't think so.. Just listen to the mixtape homie.

I'm looking forward to more projects from Curren$y just because of this mixtape. He's going to be big in 2010 so be on the look out for this guy from New Orleans.

Hello, 17.

Um, man. I'm turning 17 in about 2 hours.. Woah. I made it to 17. I know some dudes who didn't make it to my age. And I feel grateful. 16 was a loooooong year. Like I thought it would never end. But 16 was probably the best year of my life. I've experienced heartbreak, pain, love, lust, and everything else. It's just I gained and lost a lot during this age. Lost some friends and gained some. And I don't mind. I'm finally being reconized for me. People know my name. People know who MdB is. People know who Marcus Browder is. Like sometimes I feel humbled. Like I'm just being me. I don't who else to be and people actually like me for me.

I don't need to put on any front for anybody. I'm the same with everyone and people like me for that. I've been exposed to more shit during my 16th year of life. Man, it's been a trip. But 17 and beyond I'm gonna try to do right. I've been messing myself up and I can't have any of that anymore. Like I have to become a more mature Marcus. Like I have to make a lot of shit happen for me. and 2011 will be my greatest year. Yeah, not 2010. But, 2011.  I'm growing up... And I like it. I can't stay a kid forever.
