These Past Four Years Have Been Crazy

2011-07-25T14:24:00.004-04:00

It just hit me how tumultuous the past four years have been...

I really just started out recording in my living room and wanting to impress my friends...Shout out to Mint and TreaZon...all of this started with you guys.

I'm only eighteen years old. I've fallen in and out of love, lost friends, made unexpected alliances, and ran around this town making memories that some people could only wish to experience. Greg...the MGz...Ransom...even The Wave Club, Stella, Nadhia, Tahis...I hate when I name names, because I always forget somebody. I'll stop there. We made this city ours. We ran around like crazy kids and never gave a fuck what anybody thought, as long as we were us. Thank you, all of you. For all of it. The positive and the negative inspires me. The idea that I've performed and rapped and sang for the people here in New York, and I've had the privelege to take my story even out of my state to share it with the hearts and minds of the people that love this music the way I do is special within itself. The fact that I've met and spoken to some of my heroes and my favorite artists...to have artists I love tell me they're fans of me, and that they respect what I'm doing is love I can never forget.

Young King Mike Waxx, Mike Carson, I'm so proud of you guys. You're doing so many amazing things, and its strictly because you're the best at what you do. You're doing this because you get it. Who's fucking with illRoots??? Really though???

Thank you to anybody who embraced Alive & Vibrant..That was such an amazing time in my life, the good and the bad. I'll never forget that tacky ass red/yellow plaid flannel hahahah! Thank you to anybody who embraced Howling at Hades.

New York drove me out of my mind, and you'll get to hear about all of it one day. The craziest part is...I haven't even really gotten started yet.

GQ Interview With CM Punk

2011-07-15T21:00:00.000-04:00

Best in the game.

GQ: When you look back at your time with the WWE, what were your proudest moments?

C.M. Punk: I will always say that my proudest moment was just being C.M. Punk. When I started wrestling in the backyard with my buddies, I was C.M. Punk. When we didn't know anything about the wrestling business and decided that we needed to run shows because we were awesome, when we built a wooden ring and eventually bought a ring and started running shows—these untrained goofballs that we all were—I was obsessed with being the best wrestler. I think it's an awesome story, that I've been C.M. Punk since I was 15, and that I went from rolling around in the backyard to Wrestlemania. I'm extremely proud of that. I've always been me. The last three weeks of my career, I've cut some of the best promos I've ever cut, and I do consider myself to be a promo guy. Winning the Heavyweight Title for the first time, when I cashed in on Edge, was awesome. The fact that I can work with anybody, from Undertaker to Big Show to Rey Mysterio.

I don't want to sound egotistical, but I'm egotistical to an extent. If you're in this business and you don't think that you're the best, or want to be the best, then I don't know what you're doing. I would never be happy with just coming to TV tapings, not working house shows, and just getting by, staying in the shadows. I'm proud of the fact that I can turn chickenshit to chicken salad.

Show Love: Rich Hil

2011-06-13T16:25:00.005-04:00

I want to thank Mike Waxx for forcing me to listen to Rich Hil way back when. Not only has he gone on to become my brother and my friend, but he's also legitimately one of, if not my favorite artist. This guy's music saved my life. He's extremely courageous for saying the shit that he does, which is essentially just honestly expressing who he is. It's unspoken, but he reminds me a lot of myself, and that's why he's Ricky Ransom.

I learned a lot in the making of Howling at Hades (our collaboration EP, March 2011). Read about that here. Download the EP here.

Consider me Limos. Shout out to Bonic, Panther, Ari and Sickamore too. Tattoo coming soon?

I'm so throwed right now. This is one of the hardest movies I've ever seen. Top three.

It really makes me feel like my life is a movie (ironically enough), because for some reason I didn't watch this shit when it came out. I watched it now. Between the events of my current life (you'll know soon enough), the overall theme(s) of my mixtape(s), and the impending title of my first album (not just yet), this is waaaaay too coincidental. Not to mention the song I just laid last night in the studio.

Good guys deserve a break every once in a while...wouldn't you agree?

I've been working hard...not just rapping...but working hard to stay sane. Rapping too though.

Everything I say to you is heartfelt. I miss you.

--Have y'all ever felt like this? Like, you have to say all of exactly how you feel to someone, regardless of how it's gonna go, just so that you're not 50 years old saying "I wish I would've said that"?

---That should be a song. I'll stop there.

Shout out to my brother Rich Hil. Misunderstood life.

Nothing is fucking with illRoots right now.

Closer and closer to the new music. My people are excited...I'm excited. There's a new energy around us...almost as if something's about to happen.

Howling at Hades: Afterthoughts

2011-03-31T19:22:00.003-04:00

This shit is all kind of crazy to me. I haven't put out a full length anything since July 2009. I just want to thank everybody for all the love we've been getting, I think this project is definitely a special one. I think my verses are some of my hardest yet, and I think Rich brought that out of me. For some unexplainable enigmatic reason, when I get in the studio with that guy, I'm liable to put twice my heart into it.

Some of the sessions for this EP went to 4 in the morning...5 in the morning...6...7...8. Shouts to my English professor for giving me a B on that 10 page thesis I wrote during an all nighter after getting home at five. Tangent. Whiskey (none for me), fistfights (none for me), models (none for married Rich), but even more so, genuine conversation, which I think adds a certain legitimacy, an authenticity to the music and the lyrics. I have to thank Bonic, Panther (who's a genius), and I really have to thank Ari. Ari Raskin is probably the best engineer I've ever worked with, he brought this shit to life.

Some people don't like Rich. To be honest, I didn't at first, either. But with time, I realized he's a genius. Hopefully you will too.
