He's SoPoetic: Sharing Thoughts [Poem]

Pick up my pen
Then put it down
Ready to write
But these words
Are flowing as i type
Whats on your mind?….
I was hoping we could connect
Spiritually & Mentally
In a space sharing thoughts
Where only me and you can enter
Where only our thoughts can take us
Thats where I wanna go
Thats where I wanna get to know…
YOU

Visions fade away
Thoughts come back to reality
What’s on my mind?
Too much…
Too little…
Everything…
Nothing…
Back at a place were WE dont exist
at least not together
No thoughts to share
No words to speak
No inspiration
None of this
I dont know you
I dont wanna get to know you
At least not anymore
You’re gone
Its not the same
Its just me
Sharing thoughts
But no longer with you

Feelin' The Need 2 Blog at 5 AM

LOST IN MY THOUGHTS!!!

SO IM FEELIN THE NEED TO BLOG AT 5 AM.

I CANT SLEEP! That's another reason but mainly I'M REALLY IN A CREATIVE SPACE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!... AND MORE THAN I EVER BEEN!...

I just wrote half of a song that I'm readying for my full Album... and this song was originally the last track of my EP but it wasnt ready in time but its gonna be ready and will fit in more with this upcoming project. IM MAD EXCITED!!!!! THE IDEAS ARE JUST FLOWING...

CAN I DO 3 PROJECTS AT ONCE??? YES THE FXCK I CAN!!

So I'm just listing the titles of the songs that I've completed or started and ordering the tracklist for each album. Of course I already stated in a previous post the 4 tracks for my demo. Well the next project I'm planning to do contains the full poetic experimental type stuff that I've been thinking about for a while CUZ I FEEL AS THOUGH THAT IS MY SOUND! THATS THE DIRECTION I DEFINITELY WANNA GO IN CUZ THATS WHERE IT ALL STARTED WITH ME... PLUS I WANNA BE DIFFERENT... So far they're 8 songs in the work (which I don't wanna reveal to much about this project just [[YET!]]

Along with that project I wanna do a full R&B/Hip Hop album... containing probably 14 songs including the Demo Songs, some remixes and more R&B, Hip Hop, Rap... music. So Far I have the ideas of all 14 tracks...

DAMN I WISH I LIVED IN THE STUDIO SO I CAN GO TO WORK ON THIS >>> RITE NOW!! UGH!

.... PATIENCE

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

Learning To Play The Guitar

This guitar is calling me!! IDK randomly I wanna learn how to play a guitar again and I've already made up my mind that I'm buying this! And then going on to learn how to play of course. I noticed that I love the sound of an Electric guitar and in most of the songs I like that the Electric Guitar is present the reason I like them is the guitar.

So Looking ahead i do want my music to contain this sound and what better way to include the sound by learning and doing it myself. So add guitarist to the list of things I do

KiD CuDi Album Tracklisting

The "Scenelisting" to Kid CuDi's debut album Man On The Moon: The End Of Day was released just days after the release of the albums standard and deluxe edition album design. And Kid Cudi has confirmed the next single to be release will be "Pursuit of Happiness".

Though I am not too drawn to these designs... which are good, but for this album they could've been way better. And as for the 3rd single being "Pursuit of Happiness" I'm hoping this song is a really dope song because I was highly anticipating "Sky Might Fall" (the previous choice) as a single. But either way this album is probably the only album right now that I wanna get without question. And If it is the only album Kid Cudi releases... (it will probably be a classic)

Amerie - Heard Em All (Single Artwork)

I don't know if this is the official cover (as of yet) but it is said to be and was released a couple of days ago. This is some very artistic type of work for Amerie... and kind of took me by surprise... but not by too much with what came out of the video to "Why R U"

Now Amerie is about to release the 2nd single "Heard Em All" before the release of her 4th studio album In Love & War... The anticipation is now there for her (though she doesnt get all the credit and recognition she deserves for what she is bringing to the game). I definitely like her style and the blend with hip hop that seems to be on every album... the world aint ready!

Interesting to see what the album cover will look like from this photo plus her latest promo pics

14 Days vs 1 Day

14 Days to get it all together for school // or 1 more day til my EP/DEMO is completing and promotion starts.... hmm Decisions Decisions

But its definitely looking like ima have to put a hold on the studio session and the upcoming performances this week thanks to St. John's University. but I'm not gonna complain... I'll be patient about it cause the more time I take on it the more time I can use to improve on what's already done. St John's issues will probably work itself out in the upcoming week as i get all the stuff they asking for... we'll see what happens...

But as far as the Demo goes... it will contain 4 songs (1. Everytime I Get Next 2 U 2. Wanna See U (Move For Me Girl) 3. Drinks In The Air 4. Untitled Song) each song bringing out a different genre or style. "Everytime I Get Next 2 U" is more on the R&B side. It contains more vocals and notes and different background effects and may include a Rap Verse. "Wanna See U (Move For Me Girl)" (similar to the version heard on the site) is the hip hop/r&b blend song... but containing more rapping then singing. "Drinks In The Air" (the club joint) is the completely Rap Track... containing no sung vocals. Definitely was meant for the clubs. The "Untitled" Track will the preview of whats to come for the album... and i'm aiming to do something on the lines of a poetic feel. This should be released digitally this fall.

But It Was All A Dream...

I dreamed of her

and everything was perfect

and I was happy

and she was happy

and I made her happy...

But it was all a dream cuz in reality she's not here

and we're not together,

she has someone new

and me? I've moved on.

said I was over her,

searched for someone new

and now I'm at this place where she still crosses my mind...

Turn on my music but every song that plays seem to remind me of her...

Everything I'm doing, she started off as my inspiration

so its hard for me to continue on this path that "WE" somehow created.

So I wonder why?

I sit her questioning.

Wanting to fight for it.

But i dont wanna fight no more.

Don't know what to do.... so i just sit here...

Always figured that then wasn't our time,

that she'd come back and we'd be together again.

Coversations start again now...

so is now the NOW that I've been waiting for?

How could it be when she's still with him and me? I'm just "the friend"...

I dont wanna write no more

So I stop.

Wanna See U (Move For Me Girl)

So why not dedicate a full post to this song? (which is currently playing on my site if you havent noticed). The song "Wanna See U (Move For Me Girl)" was writing & recorded in 2007 and was inspired by this girl who is a dancer. I considered this to be my 1st song ever made (not including this song I wrote called "Shawty be mine" which i put together over the "Upgrade U" beat a lil before making this song). It was the first song to be completed and have that almost studio quality feel to it with the non-studio quality equipment i used.

The song started out as two versions "Wanna See U" (which was the R&B Version) and "Move For Me Girl" (which was the Hip Hop/Rap version) before being written into 1 song and coming into this final version which is currently playing. This version was completed June 2009. Feel Free To leave any feedback or request about this song here...

He's SoPoetic: 4AM [Poem]

Thoughts on my mind
Sleep creeping up
Pen in my hand
Pad Inches away
No words
4 am

I should be sleeping
But I’m not
In fact im wide awake
Thinking of better days
But those days never come
I’m back at square one
Having to start over…
In trying to get where I need to be
Maybe thats the reason I cant sleep
or maybe Its just the….
Thoughts on my mind
Sleep creeping up
How can I sleep with so much on my mind
Pick up the pen to write
But eventually I never finish
Too many distractions
Too many unanswered questions
So my thoughts leading nowhere
4am
I dont wanna try no more

So I put the pen down
In hopes of finishing writing 2moro ...

He's SoPoetic: The Sky Might Fall

"Still I feel my... mind runnin' at a steady pace,

God help me so I'll win the race" - Kid Cudi

[ Y A L L N E E D 2 L I S T E N U P ]

Will the rain storms ever end?

I guess not cuz I'm still here and something is doing everything in its power to pull me back and I'm outta my zone... tryna get back in to that place where I can sort out my thoughts and creatively express whats on my minds through the art that I know best... in music, in poetry, in writing... The rain storms never end and the clouds only block my perception to see thing through... while I stand here on my own...

Happiness is gone again

Im ready to leave, ready to go, ready to escape... this place, this world... I wanna live on the moon away from the craziness, away from the madness... away from it all... just so i can do me... waiting on my time 2 come... but it seems that time will never come.

Everyone's gone away... the one's I thought was here with me... they're all gone away

And Its just me...

And I stand on my own watching the walls close in and the sky starting to fall... waiting on the breathe of fresh air to come and make it all better ... but in reality those hopes and dreams just fade away... so I sit here thinkin... "maybe another day..."

Everytime I Get Next 2 U

Everytime..... everytime.... EVERYTIME! LOL

"Everytime I Get Next 2 U" is the title of a song I wrote. Mostly an R&B track that I added a lil Rap Verse to. Its about that girl that you get so many different feelings around... that one that causes you to lose all control... etc. I recorded the whole song in my lil studio... and went on my remastering and mixing it down phase yesterday which took a couple hours. Trying to figure out that formula used on "Wanna See U (Move For Me Girl) which has the vocals with the beat and not over the beat.... and has all the vocals and background sounding clear (without the use of an Equalizer or whatever you call them things) but yeah i think its done... I Like 90% of it... of course there is room for improvement.

"Everytime I Get Next 2 U" is as of now will be my 1st official released single and will be rerecorded in the studio over a different beat.

Addressing The Current Situation

Of course I'm back at the same place as it seems but (not to make this a long story) I'm back deciding between music & school. The thing with the whole college thing is that I was forced to take last spring semester off because St. John's decided they wanted to not use my updated documents (which was the same ones they accepted the year before) which caused my Financial Aid to be taken away... and now they want $13,000+ out of me... So I go and discuss everything with them and they act like everything is good... (lets not mention how they all of a sudden dont have any of my records in the system) but they just tell me bring in the documents again for this year, fill out the fafsa and see about a private loan for the 13,000... ok... im in the process of doin all this......

But why even risk it to have another 13,000+ pile up on me... i do wanna transfer but I kinda Love St. John's... but i'm just waiting for something to go wrong with them... and for them to say I cant register or something.... cause I know thats what they gonna say... but I'm just doing all this to see if the possible is there for me to attend this fall... And of course there is my [MUSIC] which the final sessions are coming up and then off on promo and stuff and shows set to be in motion when the record is done... so hmmm... DO I TAKE ANOTHER SEMESTER OFF.........

As far as the music goes... I have come to the plan to do a 4 track demo before my first full album/mixtape... and with those 4 songs... I'll do some promo... create a buzz and then proceed with the full project and this will all be starting in the next couple of weeks following the next studio session which will finish up the 4 songs and leave some joints to be finished up when i go back. More Updates on releases coming soon....

Just A Thought: "Oh You Famous, Now You Act Like You Don't Know Nobody"

So Yeah I'm grinding... and as hard as it is right now to get where I'm headed... I'm definitely not giving up! I'm already setting goals and making plans for what's to come and all the negativity that people are bringing near me and all the non-believing... i definitely don't need!

and when I've made it... dont come at me with that "Oh You Famous, Now You Act Like You Don't Know Nobody" shyt cuz fact is NONE of yall are here with me thru this grind!! .... and to the few that are THANK YOU! nothing but love and appreciation for yall! AND IF YOU DOUBTIN which 1 you fall under... you kno its the 1st! REAL TALK

So thats what I posted on my facebook status... I needed to get that off my chest... it was too long to twitter! But thats the mood I'm in... So many people surround me... but none of them are there. I can count on probably 1 hand the people I can depend on... and who are there for me... AND I'll be watching when it all comes together... how people will have changed

The Whole Blog World Goes Crazy Over Drake

Ok I'm sure everyone has heard the news that Drake reinjured his broken ACL or whatever it was smh... But Damn these jokes about how he's gonna be Jimmy (the character he played on Degrassi) in real life is sad and not funny at all... I'm guessing most people didnt comprehend that he wasn't suppose to be performing at the concert anyway but he did because he aint wanna let fans down. Everybody just wanna make fun of the situation because he could be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life as he was on the TV show Degrassi...

And that's the world we live in...

people would rather focus on the funny about situations or (in other situations) the mess, the bad, etc instead of the realness or seriousness of a situation... and thats a damn shame...

Welcome To He's So Poetic

So 10 Dayz have passed since I put my site underconstruction... deleted posts and sort of redesigned the site... while the redesigning is still incompletion... I couldnt wait any longer with blogging and posting updates.

So where do I start?

1) For those of you joining me for the 1st time...

Welcome to DanteJ.com | He'sSoPoetic. I am the writer and creator of this blog Dante J (clearly) and this site is currently the home of my thoughts (most of em... i do have another place for thoughts) my music and everything I feel i wanna express to the world. I do consider myself an artist... I like to express myself through many things including poetry, music, art, photography etc. Hopefully as time goes on I'll be able to share more of that with you, through this site.

2) Whats to come on He's So Poetic?:

Well of course you'll get the latest updates with Dante J's music, I'm also planning to keep the site Poetic, so I might post up so words or thoughts from my poetry book. I'm also planning to get back to performing at open mics and hopefully some video post will be up. I'll try to stray away from posting stuff that EVERY blog is posting unless my incite is needed.

3) What's going on with Dante J Music?:

So yeah the process is taking time... I'm not in no rush. Though I have a couple of joints completed and I've been promising a release of a single for a while now... I'm gonna hold out on putting anything out till it all comes together. I'm still in the process of creating "Dante J's" sound! With so much exploring of different genres and everything but its starting to come together and soon the way I want my music to sound when I present it to the world will be here.... sorry to keep you waiting so long...

4) Meaning behind the title of blog...

Well I renamed the site from The Definition Of Poetic to He's SoPoetic... even though both suits what this blog will become... I felt He'sSoPoetic states what I am.

5) Behind The currently released music

I have leaked some tracks that I recorded across the net... they were just songs i wrote and did about 2 years ago when i was just starting out. (far from the direction i wanna take my music in)... but i still record them just i case i feel the need and want to pass them to other artist to record.... "Wanna See U (Move For Me Girl)" (the currently playing song) is a song written in 2007 and currently updated. So far its the only completed, studio quality song that I've done on my own using someone else's instrumental. I feel this song shows what I am capable of but doesnt stop at where I am headed musically.

6) Last Thoughts:

Yeah I don't want this post to be too long cuz i know some people dont like to read much nowadays but yeah Welcome back to He's So Poetic. More updates to the site & post coming soon...
