For the past eight or so months I have been leading "The Bang Your Future Moverment". The purpose of the movement is to get our local hardcore gangbangers to descover their importance and consider their futures. This movement included three parts.
1. An elementry school basketball tournament in one of our gang troubled neighborhoods. (Kids)
2. A rap album with local BOSSES with influence. (Teens and young adults)
3. A televised peace rally (Adults)
These three avenues, including television, newspaper, and internet news (Google etc), help spread the message. The Message was spread to hundreds of thousands of people around the globe.
The single is a tight Beta beat with me talking. I am adressing specific issues in our local community. I DONT GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE! FUCK IT! I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT IMAGE AND ALL THAT SHIT! I AM AN ACTIVIST. Thousands of you heard it on the radio. The purpose was to use my musical influence to spreads a message. It wasnt inteded to be the next hot single rockin the masses. This album was a musical message, not like a First Degree album, where Im concentrating on a musical album.
The album became more popular and talked about than expected. It was originally going to be an undergroung local release. Originally, I was just going to walk the streets givin them out free to people that needed to hear it. I have been walkin the streets and visiting churches, but I also decided to put it out in stores to genertate funds for local programs. If I would have known that this many people would have been interested in the album, it wouldnt have mixed it so awkardly. I would have gone with a more farmiliar and friendly to the ear sound. This was supposed to sound like an underground release with was too much reverb. The sound and samples come from the 90s underground. Some love it others hate it.
This will be the only Fahrenheit release in which I get so wild on the reverb. By listening, Ive learned that many dont like the over reverb sound.
If you like the over reverb sound, enjoy it on "Gang Wars", because Ill never do it again. If you dont like the reverb over sound, you are heard. Please continue to trust in Fahrenheit and continue your high expectations for hgih quality sound and music. I LOVE the over reverb sound, but then again, I grew up on it.
Im still workin on the south.
I travel the US and meet all kinds of different people. Ive found that 90% of the First Degree fans like the first First Degree album they heard. For example, the people that have followed my whole carrer like the DE of 6-8 years ago better (PZ, Southbound). This was when thier mind was first expanded to another dimintion. (Like Matrix, the second one was better, but everyone likes the original the best) The girls and young people at the shows that heard "Bat" or "FI!A&B" as their first DE CDs, like those better. They go back and buy the "PZ" and "DTDE!" and like the new music better. Its 50-50. All I can do is promise you that I will continue to put out the most hardcore gangsta dark fast quality groove funk music to my best ability!!
Thanks for listening and continue to listen. Your opinions are ALL welcome. Continue to respect. I want more input.
