Apollo’s Music [Track02]
“Apollo’s Music” opens with a correlation and combination of sight and sound. “Lyrical spectacles” is talking about seeing words, i.e. “Cillia can see,” which means the hairs in-side your ears now have vision (e.g. you are listening to music that will help you see a different worldview/philosophy). The hook is suppose to be a funny way of saying that most music, although not Apollo’s, is so stupid it prevents us from envisioning our (economic) potential. The second verse is making an egotistic statement about my ability and commitment as a real artist. While the third and second verses challenge the established hip-hop ideology after demonstrating an abstract but definitive use of word play which presents an aura of condescension.

Dionysus Rhythm [Track 03]
“Dionysus Rhythm” is how you wish you could rap! … let alone write. Bursting in without warning I get straight to the point. What if I just broke it down for you and made it ill about math, chemistry, and physics because, like pi, I derive no limits!
The entire song is a clear display of talent, skill, and lyrical ability. As with the tradition of Apollo, the seasoning of lyricism is peppered with an Ancient Greek mentality and, thanks to Dionysus, spiced up with selective popular-culture references. The hook is pretty truthful... and the last two sentences express Apollonian and Dionysian thoughts. “Apollo make you follow when he holla bout the stigma” should be looked at as “Apollo will make you think differently about your biases or markings of discontent.” “Dionysus rhythm is an infinite enigma” speaks to the ever pervasive mystery of rhythm, music, and emotion.
One of the differences between Dionysus and E$ is that (although they both are obsessed with sex) Dionysus is not materialistic. Unlike E$, Dionysus does not look for flashy or covert signs of wealth because that is a hedonistic motivator attached to the relationship. If you think about it, judging whether a future spouse is applicable for marriage based solely on their socio-economic status is really a product of narcissism. What you should really be focused on is finding someone who makes you happy and share your life with (Dionysus). The motorcycle I am sitting on in the picture will always be my baby. It's a 2004 850cc V-twin Suzuki Intruder that everyone mis-took for a Harley Sportster because the muffler was de-baffled. It sounded beautiful with a chromed-out engine block, an after-market Mustang seat, and high-way pegs my baby drives and shines like a dream! ... and I sold her so I could afford to finish the album. Some things should be worth more to you than any dollar amount. One of the themes I like to put in my music is reference to Lady Gaga. I am a huge fan and I find her to be the biggest inspiration. I have often left “hate” out of my music just because she told me (through television interviews) I shouldn’t put negativity in my music. She is one of the reasons I made my message simply: Peace, Love, and Unity. I honestly find her to be such a beautiful person that when I think about hip-hop I think of Lady Gaga. I want to see hip-hop as a strong, independent, and talented woman because it makes me ask myself, “What would I say to hip-hop to impress something so powerful in stature and important to culture?”
To me, like hip-hop, Gaga is a beautiful person. So, (naturally) I have a huge crush on her! This confession comes full circle in the last verse of Dionysus Rhythm. “Uh, Uh, Ah, Ah, I want Mai Tais; Baileys Vodka, Lady Ga Ga/Tah Tahs; Love yourself, that’s sexy as hell.” I know Lady Gaga enjoys her alcohol, so that’s why I ease into her after saying I want Mai Tais and Baileys Vodka. If you listen closely to the track, when I say "GaGa" it also sounds like "Tah Tahs." This is because (it sounds good and brings a more complex element to my music, but) it is suppose to be cute, like I am trying to hide I have a crush on this girl. “Love yourself” is basically Gaga’s message condensed into two words; and I find that (message) to be “sexy as hell.”
Apollo [Track 04]
“Apollo” is the introduction to the body of work in which I am about to present--i.e. the thoughts and concerns of a psychosocial philosopher. In effect, I am saying, now that you have sufficiently understood my skill set (after act 1), we can now proceed to what is important... which is unity, peace, truth, and (after a digression) love.
Robin Hood [Track 06]
Robin Hood is about real life heroes whose actions align with that of the merry men. The strategy for aesthetics and cadence were laid down for this song before the conceptualization of the lyrical content began. From the start, I wanted this song to be about “The Hero’s Journey” (as Joseph Champbell would put it)... while also being a song people could embrace and dance too. The hook compares MLK, Gandhi, and Socrates, while the verses illuminate their connection to Robin Hood (the mythological character) and contemporary American society!
The intro makes reference to Obie Trice’s album Cheers, and his rather ambiguous placement in Eminem’s song "Without Me" were Mr.Mathers says “And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie.” I think Eminem is saying that the confrontation is not worth his time but he will send Obie Trice to cause physical pain. However, I’m using the reference to say that beef/argument is irrelevant/bologna--and there are more important things to talk/fight about. Then continue by exclaiming I have the ability to usurp those in power, I do not speak of deceit, but rather to teach, and I will now articulate my discontent...
"Let's test the hound of the Nobel pound. Obama Wow! ...your a big dawg now, with ya pull-up pants, advance ya stance...." At the time of writing these lyrics Obama had received the Nobel Peace prize without any real justification for it's issuance. It seems the international community did it as a jester in "good faith" pressuring him to pull out of Iraq through expectation rather than accomplishment.
Concurrently, I am making fun of his almost manufactured image. "Obama Wow! ...your a bid dawg now" is my rendition of "Mommy Wow! I'm a big kid now" which is Pampers (diapers) corporate slogan. Don't look too far into the dawg thing, if you are "my dawg," you are my homie (and I am grouping Obama in with every other Nobel winner too). I meant it as a back-handed embrace. I think Obama is doing what he can and we won't really see who he really is as a president until his second term. I support you Mr.President and my services are always available to you.
