AAP (Pharell vs. Timbaland Instrumental, Written by: Salvador V., the student & Enrique Gabriel, the teacher, 2008) The song was cut in 3 sessions, a true collaboration between the teacher and student to compose a lyrical composition that combines both old skool' and new skool'.
The teacher: Telling the prettiest girl how much fun it was to cool out... I wanted to make it clear, "I am so into u." Furthermore, when singing it was important to have different switch up's of melodies to show the range of emotion.
The student: It was my first time recording and it was pretty hard but yet fun doing it. Well i found out i could write a song in a few days and at the same time recording it. Other than that cool experience an honor working with the Teacher. Just people in general guys and girls should listen to this song for the fact that it tells a story. You could really relate to this track right here. I could reflect this song to my personal life as a Student. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!! NAW MEAN!!!!!!!!!

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„¢
