RealTalk (Dr. Dre, Chronic 2001 Instrumental, The Next Episode) It is about midnight and I have been writing, planning, thinking, and organizing an array of ideas that are or will be encompassed by the ACADEMIC ARTIST PROJECT. Before going to sleep, I was listening to the Chronic 2001 album, and immediately after hearing this classic, it got me to rhyme and challenge the mic. I jotted some notes on stickies, and in 1 take, with 3 tracks, laid down a message giving further detail of the ACADEMIC ARTIST PROJECT. The West Coast is filled with talented producers...Dr. Dre is one of the elite, you want to learn something about Hip-Hop listen to the Doc.
An academic mixtape, only giving you the FRESH.
I intentionally left the last half of the song as an instrumental for so many reasons, one because the beat is 'so hard'-a "banger", and from a "teacher's perspective" it was like "FILL IN THE BLANKS", a cipher, a good time to dance...In Full Effect, Music, Art, Literature...

Education is essential, and public education serves millions of children across the nation, and billions worldwide. In many of my songs I made a concerted effort to intertwine and sway the listener to new ideas and vocabulary. Many words yall'â„¢all know, but I wanted to include familiar diction to make it a part of everyones conventional wisdom. My intent with this album was to express my concern for education and its current state of affairs. Being on the frontline, I see things that Americans are not seeing and must be reported. I am a teacher in Boyle Heights, educating young minds who along the way has swallowed facts and now is spitting out a strong opinion. The issue, "Why are students not meeting nor exceeding the standard? Many issues than stem off, like ACCESSâ„¢? The bottom line is public education does not give all students a competitive advantage. Technology is essential, especially laptop computers, it is the tool that all students must be equipped with because it gives opportunities that are limitless when comparing it to many of the already resources available in the classroom. (i.e. books, notebooks, pens, and glue). Basically, the purpose to this educational mixtape is to offer listeners a verbal assault, knowledge, a showcase of diction & syntax. I want you to find your favorite track, play it over and over again and know why you like it. For more insight, you can also check my POV @ www.myspace.com/teachinlaâ„¢
