Da Bassment Tape (Vol. 1)

So....Its been a Long time...We shouldn't have left you...without a dope beat to step to...so yeah man...I'm Back. haha. feels good to write on this again. enough time has passed to know that i need to write on this. haven't been focusing that much. man. My birthday is only 3 days away. but when this post goes up, man...it'll be years old. haha. but uh...it has been a really long time. so much has changed. and I've changed. (in some ways...yes I Have.) but sometimes it take years to draw inspiration to use what you have to get and take ways of preparation to realize you have done something both right and wrong. but so far in these past few months, I've discovered a treasure trove of Music relating to some of things in my life. i know some of y'all Bassment Fiends would rather hear the Music that I've done, or the people I've worked with, but...I Just wanted to share it with y'all...My friends....some of them have been there for me more times than i can count. its kinda good to know there are some friends that won't disappear when you need them the most. like the Lord almighty. he has provided for me many times over, i...i can't express how much in love i am with him and his graces. he's kept me safe, fed, strong, strong-willed and emotionally ready to take on the world. so to the Almighty and overseer of my soul and decisions of me and my family; I Thank you, God. for without you, NOTHING (and i Mean NOTHING) is possible without you. with all of the people that have talked and said things about me behind my back, and some people that have nothing better to do than just that, i Give you blessings and I Pray that you will not be in that rut forever. but better things await those who truly believe in the Lord's Miracles. so...man. 19 years ago, my mother Evenus Thompson gave birth to a Son who she knew would fulfill his destiny by trusting in the Lord's graces. I Appreciate my mother more than my Life itself. She gave birth to me. she never had to, but the Lord guaranteed that she would bring me into this world. I Love my father, for even though through everything we have been through; he stood ground and took care of his family in every way he could, from working 2 jobs (both with low income pay $6.25 an hour and a security job same average; just to wake up and do it all over again.) Vernon Thompson. My Daddy, my protector in God's form of Man, and my caretaker all of my 17 years of life. granted my mother and him had a falling out, but that gave my dad the opportunity to step his game up and become more of a Man than i could ever be. yes I'm a Man, but I Will never be in the same places my father has been. i wish i could, just to know how it makes men stronger to keep pain at a distance and focus on your life and what's at hand now. also, my best friend...Jeremy J. Turgeon. (1st Grade buddies... If it was really that simple, we could understand how long it would take to say Good bye.) I Know you're only going to college in Boston, but being friends this long and seeing you go, makes me sad. love you man, i know you do the same for me too...but its just hard to say "Good bye" so how about "See Ya Later"...still don't know. (sighs.) from singing in the choir in Pottenger, and becoming renowned Musicians today and me becoming A Music Producer and songwriter...hard to believe we'd end up like this..haha. all of the good times to know that we have more to share and expect from our times as kids up until now as Men. so I Thank my best friend of 14 years for always giving me advice and helping me when i most needed it. I Love you too, Momma-T. (Mrs. Turgeon aka My 2nd Mom. you have been there a long time too, from giving moral support to me and Jeremy when our days were bad, to giving us comical days when we needed  it, Badly. haha, you've been friends with my Mom for a Longgggggggg time and you know my Dad very well. that just goes to show that everyone you've known since 1st grade has made a major change and excruciating effect in my life.  (my other boy is here too. Eric Arsenault. man...don't think i forgot about you, brotha!) haha, from the days of watching "Drumline" for days on end and practicing every cadence in the film, to gaining Popularity from performing in the Lunchroom and the Gym. haha the Ladies Loved us and the Fellas, wanted to be us...what good times. Love you too, man. Bros for life. (Thanks to Angelo Ortiz. my big brother.) God Knows I'VE Always wanted a brother, but not like this clown. we started out company together back when my cousin Dennis was the "Strawberry R. Kelly" haha love y'all both. haha well this is all i feel like writing for right now...but there will be more Blogs coming this 2013 year. and beyond too. if there is anyone i have forgot, please comment, or be sure to add yourself so I Don't forget next i begin to write another blog entered in my life journey.

Peace and Love.

Two Sides To A Story....(Continued)

First of all, I'd like to say God bless my Beat Biters & Haters, you mean so much to me and no matter what; i'll never go away; so thanks. but secondly I'd like to address the issue of the the Perception of me being like various Groups from the 90's. The reason is because i like to innovate myself as Aaliyah used to say: "Stand out from the regular crowd..." . with the world being about ready to be turned on it's ear once again; I really want to believe that i am become a Time-Breaker. My Life is not being wasted with the things you hear about me. so I am proving everybody wrong when it comes to life and how I'm living Mine. These are my concepts, perception, assignments to how God showed my Life in full and i haven't even experienced the Fruit of Nature. but I can wait, College is almost over. I Got one more year and then I can just Max to the Scooby. ("Scooby" meaning "Crazy Or Maximum Relaxation") Some things worry me a lot; but by God, I Can do all things within my Soul. hopefully you viewers can feel what I'm trying to say in my Music & Beats altogether. be sure keep a Close eye out for my Debut Mixtape - "The Boy Vs. The Man" (Vol. 1) - Tell all of your friends about it. it's gonna be dope. just know that. well stay tuned for more to come in the Near future along with my Sister who will be my Featured Artist on my Record Label: "Da Bassment" Inc.

G-Thang

Sometimes people can't take time to appreciate the simple fact that, when you create something, its yours. People have been slandering me because my Beats have an old-School Timbaland Flow to it. That's Good to me because it means Music will change drastically once again and bring back the Music that everyone is Missing in the industry. And like I stated before in one of my previous Blogs: "BEAT BITERS", I don't believe anybody can come up with anything original anymore. Its the reason that no one can take the time to appreciate GOOD music before saying that they're better than the original person that started that Genre or that type of style. Like DeVante Swing and the original Bassment Crew, their differences were family-type. Which is understandable; but the New Bassment Crew - Me, My sister (Tayja), My cousin (Dennis), my best friend (Jeremy), my colleague and new friend (Carlos), my other friend & DJ (Elijah), my distant sisters (Drama) & (Hannah) aka "Da Supatwinz", and my Uncle - DJ Tim T. (Timothy Thompson)...we're working hard promoting products we're slated to release in 2011 and beyond; and unamed/ unknown people want to try and take our ideas. That's ok. We came in the game with an MP3 recorder, a Casio keyboard & a High School dream; and now, we're 10 artists strong. (Along with the newly formed orchestral band - "The League Of Chaos" (the live band for Da Bassment & Bassment Beats.) Like my cousin & VP of my original record label stated - "We've been silent for over 4 Years, and now its OUR time to take over the Game..." All we need are 4 Things on our side: God (of course & always), The Fans (Thank You for the support), Family (without it, we wouldn't exist...) & most of all: The MUSIC.

*So once again for all of the Beat Biters & fakes trying to pass this off as Your Ideas, get it correct, Homie! We started our Music, and we'll finish on our own. So F**k you and your Fake ass crews. You aint Da Bassment or Bassment Beats! Get it out of your Head. (#ThatIsAll) ^___^

Two Sides To A Story....

Sometimes i wish that things could be so much Simpler. I'm stressing over things that need to be taken care of...My life so far is like an Opening climax to a Million dollar Movie. Will i succeed? will i falter? no one knows but God and myself. I want to be the best i can be but, what's the price when you don't really have the tools to build your secondary foundation? Music Production is My Life. but at the same time there will be Beat Biters to try and steal my Style. so I'm gonna be more tougher than I Want my Heart to be. She Doesn't Love me the way i do about her, so I'm on my own. but hey; maybe it's meant to be that way. let's get to it. Lies don't make you a better truth-bender, it just makes you a Fail-at-Life Person. I'm grown. How about You? I have God in my Life, and ask yourself this question: Why don't you?

Beat Biters

Sometimes....Life can be Really funny. Some people are around to help you when you most need it, while others will try & Use you to their advantage for their glory. I Look these types of people as: not "Playa-Haters"...But as Innovators, Motivators....and for all of the Producers that copy my style and try to play it off as your own, Yes, I Mean You...(You Are BEAT BITERS). but i do have to say thank you, though; you've only made my creative Processes more stronger in other words: 100% Ginuwine...I'm realer than you will EVER Be. but I do believe you can be better than yourself instead of Me. (Lets be honest; trying to go up against me & My Crew? NOT HAPPENING ANYTIME SOON... so get those thought of your head. but once again, I'd like to thank y'all for inspiring me even more that I've needed it. God Bless all of you Innovators & Motivators; without you, there would be no Beat Biters to Confront on. (LOL) Much Love; Peace.


(BTW- the Picture you see on your Left is A Representation of Me & my Crew @ Dramatik Ent. (From Left to Right: (Me = Timabaland, Drama Queen = Missy Elliott (We're the JusticeTwins ^___^) , Tim London = Ginuwine, Tayja Thompson = Aaliyah, & My Uncle Timothy Thompson (My Manager) = Magoo)

The Life Beginning with A Prayer...

Sometimes I Always wonder if my Efforts are worth the trouble of making it in the Music industry. but God has been there for me since Day 1 One. as i still begin to grow as a Musician, I think back to the times when I had no guidance. It was at that time I realized I had to do everything on my own from then on in. and so I have. with the help and support of my Family; (who is very close Knit to me; by the way.) Until this time with my Mixtape soon to drop in this Fall coming Winter; I have a lot more surprises in store for the world. My Music is changing & Breaking new boundaries with my Unique Pacing of Beats & Old-School Flavor. With Inspirations like Timbaland, Ginuwine, Missy Elliott, & of course my Guardian Angel - Aaliyah Dana Haughton; who can go wrong with Good Music. In the words of my Mentor Timbaland: "This Producing Thing? it was NEVER planned, but it was a God-Given talent; and i Thank God for everything He's done for me..."
