I AM THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME BECAUSE I PLAY DEFENSE AND PASS THE BALL

Welcome to the journal.?

This is like the Saturday edition, except that It’s Friday and this interview is from fourteen hours ago. I won’t be able to publish this, until sometime tomorrow. I am at a crossroads of life myself. And I seriously need therapy.?

I did my Masters Count for the year in Review; for 2024. I broke yet, another Guinness World Book Of Records. I finished the year with 435 Songs. There are small variables here and there. I am extremely Grateful. I wanted to slow down for that year but, so much happened to me that it also became a factor.?

I did a live on YouTube live. I prepared 24 Masters. With 50 Master Recordings. I had estimated 1,200 Songs. But. NO. 435. I celebrated with everyone. I had to remind others as well as myself. I did 987 2021. 2,600 in 2022; my Record Year. 2023; it was 1,883 to 2,545. That is officially in Review. And now 435. I had to realize many things. I am not sure how to feel, and I wanted to explore that with you all here.?

Even at my lowest count, based on 2021 until this day. My modern era; I am at 5,900 +. Which I am happy and satisfied with. But, this feels different.?

I have 32+ Songs to release. These will become my 2025 songs and of course new albums. I am debating so many things. For example; releasing albums in the 7 song “Industry” Format from now on.?

I have so much emotions. I looked for leadership, for inspiration.?

I wanted to slow down last year. I don’t think exactly that much. I may have made a mistake. Now that I Think about it. I want to double check. I remember an additional set of masters that I may have overlooked. But, I have already accepted this current 435.?

I knew that last year was super hard. My loved ones did the most damage; for sure. I am still battling that today. But, once I go into beast mode. I can’t be stopped. I am already challenging myself to the next 500 for 2025.?

This is just goal number one.?

For example. I wanted to pass the torch to the new Generation, in a sort of; way. I guess it was my way of doing it. But, I am not ready just yet. For the record. I will never retire from making music. I still plan to be in my recording studio 2 to 4 hours per day; indefinitely. Like Prince taught me. But, again this feels different. This is why I am going to speak with those closest to me, about how I feel.?

I have been waiting for this moment. This year, I have my main goals written down. The following goal in my career is to break the highest selling NFT; ever. But, I am also making my stand. I am getting right back into the recording studio. As normally. The only difference is the fact, that I won’t aim to break anymore records. If it happens. Great. I broke the Guinness Record for 2024 without trying.?

But. This is different to me.?

I am here to explore why?

I was saddened, momentarily. But it was also a new farewell, to an older Era; of my life. I still have that Kobe Bryant/ Michael Jordan in my heart, as far as my lyrical skills and my natural God given Talents.?

This new chapter of my life, and my music career is different. But, again. This is different. So; on the music side. Things are moving. I found the legal team of a lifetime; my Dream Team. In the Latin Market; well, there is Thunder is Paradise.?

My close friend is number 1 in the movement. But, still Number 2; to the main personality. That person, was just announcing a very special invitation To the Trump Inauguration. I reached out to my friend/ team member. And he was very bitter/ upset? I had no idea what had happened. I was up and about all day. So; I read about this later during the day. The news was already old by Social Media Standards.?

I am sidelined. By all of this.?

I can’t celebrate because this is major; overseas. MY team player is weakened by this, which places me in concern. Why? Because he is not celebrating with his friend? What would happen when I sell this NFT?

See what I mean??

This is a sticky situation. Where do I stand in all of this? This leads me to Pippen. PIPPEN is the Greatest of all time because; He Played Defense!

When you put it in that context. He’s right. I will reserve my political standpoints to go further about it. But. Today. I agree. I also enjoy his standpoint.?

I feel the same??

I watched all the markets internationally. And I look at these new media figures. I wanted to jump through the screen and just talk about the entire industry and it’s history and I wanted to correct this, and correct that… Only to realize; it’s all entertainment.?

I am past that in my career.?

I have to get back to recording music and leaving everything in the booth. And, in the hands of the fans for music. Not debating the world politically on my views with this or that.?

I never wanted to become that artist. And; I am?not.?

So. Back to the studio.?

I love you all. I hope we can all learn from this together.?
