American
Theft is here!
Soooo,
here's F.I.R.E. (American Theft). Yes I know I said "To
be released exclusively on this website in March 2009" but
I just couldn't keep it to myself. Hopefully you'll enjoy this
scaled-down album which should hold you over til about June when
part 2 comes out. Peace.
Okay,
here's how it's gonna go: Thinking about the various
current events that I could address during 2009 such
as the inauguration of President
Obama; the worsening financial
crisis, the probable escalation of wars on Afghanistan
and Pakistan; global warming which is amplifying;
the recent
admissions from VP Cheney that he sanctioned war
crimes, and numerous other topics in addition to just
making good ol' fashioned beats, I have decided that
the economy will be the centerpiece of my Hiphop topics
for 2009.
During
2009 I'll release a series of albums, no more than
seven selection each probably. Most will be related
to the fact that we in America have removed manufacturing
from the center of our economy and replaced with a
"service economy". In other words, an economy
where we manufacture nothing of significance. According
to economic historian Michael
Hudson, and I agree with him, this service economy
is based on Finance, Insurance, (Retail,) Real Estate,
or F.I.R.E. It's important to address this because
even Obama says things will get worse before they
get better.
I
see this as an opportunity to help people understand
the shock (i.e., rescuing companies that are too big
to fail) and miseducation (i.e., the misguided popularity
of being a CEO as opposed to being an owner) being
aimed at us; Hopefully this will allow us to resist
ideas designed to make and keep us poor. Regardless
of who their source turns out to be. With all that
in mind, looks like I'm naming the next album F.I.R.E.
(American Theft). To be released exclusively on
this website in March 2009
Over
the weekend I was wondering about why there seem to be almost
no producers who are women in the Hiphop culture. I pondered,
and pondered and eventually decided to post at Okayplayer.com.
I thought I was the first to ask that question but I was
not. Go there and give your thoughts about why in spite
of so many women standing on stage, performing beautifully,
there seem to be no significant number of women producing
the songs they are singing. And if you around to it, send
comments and criticisms to HaveNCredible.
Good
morning! The
response to Welcome
to the Next Level has been good. Not overwhelming but
good. As usual, email comments and criticisms to HaveNCredible.
INot
sure how I'm going to musically address the chaos that will
pop up in 2009. You have the inauguration which inspires music
and thoughts about legacy and history; The economic
crisis which is going to get worse over the next year or
two, the throwbacks who are expressing
their racism in a wide variety of ways, plus the who-knows-what
that will surely suprise us next year. To address some of this
I'm Iooking into doing more albums with fewer songs but more
focused topics. Then again maybe 09 will be the year of the
box set. Who knows....
Good
morning! Barack
Obama wins the U.S. presidential election and of
course today is November 6, 2008, so posted, as promised, right
now for your enjoyment is my new album, Welcome
to the Next Level in the motivate
section
of the website. As you can see I changed the name of the album
from Pavement,
America, and Good Intentions to
something more descriptive. Make
a small donation to my site.
Gotta
go, more later.

CHANGE
OF PLANS!
Good
morning. On November 6, 2008, I will post my next album. It
will NOT be The Blue Testament. My next album to be posted for
free download in the public interest will depend on who wins
the U.S. 2008 presidential election. You see, I have two complete
albums waiting in the fog. One in the event that Senator
Barack Obama wins (Pavement, America, and Good Intentions),
and a different album in the event that Senator
John McCain wins (Time. But First, Salt.) Since the
election is Tuesday, November 4, the zipped album will be posted
Thursday, November 6, 2008, whichever
it turns out to be.
What
will happen to The Blue Testament, you ask? Some of its selections
have been reimagined and/or divided between both albums, other
stuff from the Blue Testament will have to wait til 2009. For
the billions of you who hadn't heard of The Blue Testament,
it was basically gonna be Dirty South Hiphop the way I do it.
Grounded in the southern Blues, Gospel and even some fiddlin'
that the southeastern US is legendary for. The way it should
be done. Nothin like you're used to.
I
have posted a selection from one of the November 6 albums in
the basement and in the music player below, called INFILTRATION.
This is a sobering joint that has an interesting punchline (or
kick in the kidney) at the end, that any undecided voters you
know of should pay serious attention to.
The
wait is over. FACTS DON'T MATTER, the cd/album/download is now
available, at Daylight On Demand exclusively. As promised FACTS
DON'T MATTER is, I believe, the most Hiphop, the most political,
the most listenable, the hardest, the smartest, and most ignored
album of this young 21st century. Thanks all for your attention
and patience, download and share
freely, and of course a donation of whatever you would like
is still appreciated. Peace!
As
many of you know, the driving idea behind this site is to
serve musical documentation of current events in a digestible
musical form. That musical form is hiphop which, despite what
you may have heard, has a strong tradition of community and
political consciousness. It's in the name: HIP meaning
relevant, up-to-date and in-the-know. HOP referring
to everything from dancing to actual activism. Hopefully this
site is insightful, inspirational and enjoyable to you the
listener.
Totally different from anything you'll hear on a radio station.
Daylight on Demand is homemade, sustainable hiphop not co-opted
by corporate interests or shareholders. My philosophy towards
making beats involves hiphop based on the original intent
of PEACE, LOVE, UNITY AND HAVING FUN. Radio rap, strip club
rap and stuff like that tend to over-emphasize the "having
fun" part. I feel some of those songs but I bring the
balance of the other elements: peace, love and unity, and
we put that on the table for the people.
Daylight
on Demand also has my non-political joints that just sound
good turned up loud, but all music here can be downloaded
for free and bumped this summer anywhere good noise is appreciated.
My
current suggestions are... everything! For gushing
compliments, complaints that this is anti-American propaganda,
or happy new year wishes, get at me: HaveNCredible

The
Curious Comment
In
a November 2, 2007 interview with Sir David Frost on Al-Jazeera
television, the late Ms. Benazir Bhutto (assassinated December
26, 2007), stated that Osama bin Laden was murdered by someone
who associated with extremists who posed an imminent threat
to her also. The person
she named was sentenced to death in 2002 for the murder
of journalist Daniel Pearl, so if the allegation is true,
the murder of bin Laden happened prior to that February 2002
arrest. See
the 15 minute interview for yourself or listen
to Mike Malloy, who broke the story. Listen to my remix
of the interview and his commentary in the jukebox (The Curious
Comment) and ponder for yourself if the War on Terrr
is disaster
capitalism or not.
