SOUPERBOWL SUNDAY-CAN'T STOP

Track name: CAN'T STOP
Produced by: COOKBOOK AKA HANDSOME KEN
Favorite bar: "I make them work, yea they sweat puddles/I go together with rap like noses and snot bubbles"

What's brew'n soup troopers? This is also a late banger that was submitted in by cookbook. When i was writing this song, i had already had a video in mind for it-which will be posted (the video that is) on a later blog. This song was actually written to another beat and actually started as a freestyle. I ended up rewriting it and chopping it up with another song which will be on the "Post Game Show" cd. I remember writing this song when i was in a dark place in life. So when you listen to the song, I'm not just speaking to the fans or listeners of the song, i was speaking to myself and trails i was going through. In the second verse, the line where i said "couldn't be stopped by speeding tickets" was actually one of the realist lines i ever wrote. I actually had my license pulled from me for excessive tickets. What is sad, is that most of the ones i got were when i was staying in montevallo, al. Now, i never pull the race card, but at the time, me and deeanna (who happens to be puetro rican, but the average person-she looks white) were dating and i was pulled over for having a "white girl" in my car. Some may not believe me, but there were two times where they made it clear, it wasn't becaused i did a "california roll" that i got a ticket. So when i say bigots and all those things couldn't stop me from getting to where god wanted me to be-i'm serious! I love to perform this song, because it allows people to break chains of bondage to whatever they are facing-whether it's addition, money problems, self esteem, etc-it can't stop you.

SOUPERBOWL SUNDAY-LET'S GO!!!

Track name: Let's Go!!!
Produced by: Luke limelight
Favorite bar: "Not a young joc/playa i'm a veteran? quench your thirst like a woman that's samartian"

First off, i got to give a shot out to my soup trooper-Robbo king-for this great video that he did. So, this is actually the first video for Superbowl Sunday, so enjoy and if you need any cartoon work or production...tell him i sent you.LOL! This is actually the first song i recorded for "Souperbowl Sunday". I was at beatbox recording studio with constantine the emcee and we made magic that day! This was my first time really working with him, i heard so much about him and wanted to work with him. He really did his enginerring part well. He actually helped find that right sound for the chorus, when it's supposed to sound like i'm on the bullhorn on his own. I knew then, that he wasn't just recording me for the money, but wanted to really make classic music. Luke is amazing on beats. Just like cookbook/handsome ken, he's been with me since the begining of my music carrer. Therefore, he knows the sound that i like. He was the first to really tag me with the "big band" sound. He would always send me the tracks that gave off the big band sound. Aside from the fact that i was actually in the band (Montevallo high school-Montevalo,al and Miles College-Fairfeild,al), he knew that this album was centered around a football sounding theme. I will admit that this isn't my most lyrical track off the album, but it's very dear to my heart. I can't go anywhere without performing it! Somewhat of a single, this song sets the tone for the album as well as my performances. So, tell me what you think of this track. Do you feel that the "big band" sound fits me?

SOUPERBOWL SUNDAY-THE GAMEPLAN

Track name: The game plan
Produced by: Cookbook aka Handsome ken
Favorite bar: 3 way tie- "But that's what it took for me to get here, think i got this far for me to sit here?" and "double entendre when they say I'm washed up" and "I'm a QB, i always have a option."

First off there are three important things you need to know about this track:
1.this BEAT almost didn't make it on the album!-i had already received a beat for the track, but wasn't really satisfied with it. Now rewind a little earlier, handsome ken was supposed to be working on some tracks for the album Handsome ken has been with my as a producer and mentor throughout my whole music career. At the time of me making this album, he had a lot on his plate (or should i say in his bowl lol), so it looked like he wasn't going to produce anything on the album. Constantine the emcee (who actually helped mix and master the album) and i were getting ready to send the album off and ken gives me a call. "I think i got something for you chican." Well, what he had for me was the heat now known as...The gameplan!
2.This track only had ONE verse to it-this kinda goes in with the first thing that you didn't know about the album. Ken had told me he was experimenting with some effects with some new plug ins he got. So the second verse of "the game plan" was actually added after i heard the track. Which brings me to point number three.
3.This track was originally a PRAYER-This track was symbolic, because it was a double entendre. It was supposed to be a quarterback talking with his coach about the gameplan and on the other hand, it was me praying to God that what ever play/move he wanted me to do on this album, i was willing to do.

I wanted to make sure that i started the album off with a bang. I love big band sounding tracks and ken nailed it for me. This was/is supposed to set up the whole album ads though it's the pre show. It is supposed to feel like we're about to come on the feild and about to rip the game apart. I even include the producers/special features as my roster at the very end of the song. I just love the symbolism throughout this song and how it sets up my style and the flow the album. This is tied as my favorite track on the whole album. So, what are your thoughts on the track? What's your favorite lines? Are you even feeling the song at all? Let me hear your "gameplan" of this track! And remeber the four S's:
1.See-see the video
2. Show-show support and write bad or good comments
3.Subscribe-subscribe to the blogs
4.Share-or aka spread the soup

I'll be giving you more commentary on the rest of the tracks later. Remeber you can go to www.spreadthesoup.com and purchase this track or the whole album on itunes or any other digtail retailer that is listed on there. Spread the soup!

CHICAN GEORGE - SOUP TROOPERS - OXFORD / ANNISTON , ALABAMA

What's brew'n soup troopers? I wanted to share with you my first interview, which i did with gradeA muzik. He is a very hot producer/interviewer from alabama, who currently resides in atlanta. He came down to oxford,alabama and decided to interview me. It's a blessing, when people that don't know you personally can recongize your drive and see you not simply where you are-but where your going. Anyway, it was very windy out there, but we managed to pull the interview off. It's cool, because as soon as we got finished with the interview, it began raining-so God hooked us up! lol! It really was a honor to have this interview, because he has interviewed some of the greatest artists/producers repping alabama. What is really crazy is that one of the comments from the youtube repsonses was that they expected to see me and yelawolf take alabam to the next level-which is funny, because on the reverbnation charts for our area-he is #1 and i'm #2!

I'll tell you my three favorite parts of the interview:
1.spitting a verse from my track A.L.(Alabama lyrics) for the opener of the interview
2.As i was talking, you can hear a duck quack in the background
3.doing the freestyle-which is a real freestyle on the dome-which for the one's who don't know or don't understand-was a tribute to all of the artists that grade a has already interviewed.

So if you can, please watch it and comment on the youtube page. Also, PLEASE share it and get ready, because for 2011, i will be doing my viral things for you to enjoy, comment-good or bad, and share. In the blog you can tell me your favorite things from the interview as well. I would love to hear them. Thanks and spread the soup!

SUPPORT M.A.J.O.R.S. - LIGHTS OUT! THE ALBUM DROPPIN' 12/31/2010

What's brew'n soup troop? I'll be back next week to give you part two of meet me in the er room, but today-I want to promote somebody. I feel that as artists, if we want to be successful in the industry, we should learn how to support other artists, producers,etc. I believe in sowing into other artists-espiecally when their hot! Which brings me to my man-M.A.J.O.R.S. He will be dropping his album entitled "Light's out!" on 12/31/2010. I will have a album review of it up as soon as i get it. By the way, i will be doing cd reviews in one of my new segments-c.h.i.c.a.n.'s choice. I will be giving full in depth reviews, so bring them to me. Hey, i may not be the source or xxl, but i'll be honest. Make sure you check out M.A.J.O.R.S. promo video for his album and he already has a leak on www.dasouth.com for the title track "light's out!" featuring jaelife http://www.dasouth.com/music/4962-majors-qlights-outq-feat-jaelife#disqus_thread And of course, if you haven't, check out"souperbowl sunday" and tell a friend. Spread the soup!

MEET ME IN THE ER ROOM

Disclaimer-This is a short version of my ER theory, but i think you will get the idea from it. If you want to hear the whole thing, comment me and we can talk about it or i can come back with a series.

What's brew'n soup troopers? I'm spazzing (not mad or anything, just seeing and hearing things that make me shake my head) a little, so excuse me.So, i want you all to meet me in the er room. Now some of you may be thinking I'm referring to the emergency room. Well you know what-your kinda right. There is a emergency in the er room. Er is a suffix that indicates your occupation. For example-hatter, pitcher etc. So basically, ER is what you pratice.

With all that being said-referring to your job/dream-if your calling yourself a "rappER" then you should be praticing it! You just can't write a couple of nice verses and record them and call yourself a rappER. You have to pratice your craft. If your a producER, you need to pratice producing. Whatever you are a workER of, do it to the best of your abilities. STOP EXPECTING TO BE PAID FOR SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T PRATICED!

Now let's flip it on the spiritual tip, because i think some people get things twisted. If your saved (meaning believing in christ) then your not a sinnER. You sin. SinnERS pratice sin, Christians sin, but live a Christ like lifestyle. We can't be perfect, but we need to stop demoting ourselves of what we are. How can you be a praisEr and a worshipER and a sinnER? It doesn't make sense. Yo, there is a emergency within our mentalities, so i suggest you "pratice" on meeting me in the ER room. Spread the soup!
