Opinion Vs. Hate (Time To RAMble)

There's alot of ppl who are afraid to or just don't give their opinions on alot of things because they don't want their personal opinion to be labeled as hatred. Opinion & hate are two completely different things! You can easily tell when someone is truly hating on something. But alot of ppl label opinions as hate when they don't agree with that persons opinion.

ie: Someone voices their opinion on one of my songs. "Oh that new Ramz shit is weak, the beats cool but his verse is mediocre at best." Then once I see that comment I instantly deem it as hate, simply because I don't agree with it. That right there is complete bullshit!! People are entitled to their opinion no matter if it's negative or positive.

Because of this, ppl are supporting alot of wack shit and saying that certain songs/artists are dope when they know in the back of their minds, that artist/song sucks walrus nuts!

People always wonder why I don't retweet they shit, post it, etc. Simple, I'm not supporting anything that I don't like. I do not care how cool I am with a person, if I don't personally enjoy their product, I'm not passing it on to ppl who follow me. Then those ppl will be like, 'Ramz, wtf is this bullshit you made me listen to?'

Alot of artists have superb grinds, but the music they produce is the exact opposite of superb. I'd get a song with damn near anybody, as long as it their song. As far as my songs, I would NOT let anybody get on my shit. I'd really have to like your music and respect your art.

Oh and yea I know I'm talking about music, but this is true for alot of shit. Someone can design a jacket and show the sketch to ppl on facebook, one person may say, "Oh that jacket looks just like one that I saw in H&M. Be more creative when designing clothing." And ppl will call that person a HATER! BULLSHIT!

But ummm, yea. Just had to let that shit out. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE btw opinion and hate. Learn the difference bitches! & learn how to man up when someone gives you their opinion on something that you may be doing, pussies.

Let's Talk....

I rarely talk on this damn thing. Sometimes I find myself wanting to say some shit, but I don't know where to. I don't like blabbering off at the mouth on twitter too much, so fuck it, let's talk here.

Since before I released *The Best of Frank Ramz* back in January, I have been writing for my next solo project titled *Quite Frankly*. Back then I had about 50 tracks for this project, then I chopped 'em down to about 30-something, but now I'm back to about 52. I've been going over and over and over and over every track for the past 2 or 3 months to make sure everything feels and sounds right!

With ALL of my other projects, there wasn't any real plan. I wrote all of them quickly, recording all of them quickly, and put them out quickly. This one will be the complete opposite. Well, individually, each song was written quickly, but that's it. This will also be the 1st project where I will record soooo many songs and pick out the best 16 or so for the project. Lord knows what I'ma end up doing with the rest of the tracks. I will not be rushing to record these songs. If I need to take an entire session just to make sure one track sounds the way that I want it to, then so be it. I will also be taking my time getting everything mixed, making sure everything sounds the way that I hear it in my head. And once everything is mixed, I will be sitting down (possible with a very special few who's opinions I trust) to pick out the very very best tracks out the 50+ to make the final cut for *Quite Frankly*.

Also, I've never really had any features on any of my projects. Except for my homie Elus on *Welcome To Medusaville* & *Falling Up*. This time around, I will be reaching out to a few of my peers for features. I'll be totally honest with you, I don't think some of them will deliver. But @ the end of the day, my show still goes on without them & will still be great without them. I should begin recording this project by no later than Nov or Dec 2010.

Ohh yeaa, of course if you've been following me and/or this blog, you've noticed the product that Shortman Score & myself have been putting out. Everything is off of our upcoming project titled *No Fly Zone*. This project is completely recorded, we simply have to go back for a mixing session and everything will be ret ta go! This should be getting released either this month or next month, but don't quote me on that. Just know that it's coming soon as fuck!

*Frankenstein* Review!


I'm super late posting this review here. I probably posted a link to it, but I decided to copy & paste the entire review here. You can check it out on REUP SPOT as well. Much love to Antoinette for the dope fucking review as well!!!!

Ok- it’s confession time- again. Until I downloaded the new mixtape: Frankenstein- Hosted by REUPSpot.com (released March 15) from Bronx, NY emcee Frank Ramz, I had never heard of him. I know…I know…I’m slippin’. The point is- from the cover artwork (which is, in and of itself pretty fly) to the 14 tracks of dopeness that can only come from a true disciple of hip hop, I’m happy to now be acquainted with his work.

To further add to my shame and embarrassment, I had a hard time placing some of the beats (usually a simple task for a radiohead like myself) but that’s a good thing. Even though Ramz does his thing over beats from Big Sean, Donnis, Jay Rock, Freddie Gibbs, Fashawn, J Cole and others; I found myself spending more time listening to the lyrics than concentrating on the music behind them, which should redeem me somewhat, as I am also a serious word-junkie. But enough about me….

I’ll start with the last two tracks: “150%” and “Get Right To It” for no other reason than that they’re the best on the project. Ramz shines on original production that showcases his natural and flawless flow. I freely admit to playing them more than once…which says a lot for someone with musical ADD who keeps the cursor fixed over the “forward” arrow. But again- enough about me.

“Turbulence” on which Ramz successfully and permanently murders the beat of Whiz Khalifa’s “This Plane”- is also an unexpected treat, although I’m sure my sisterhood card would be revoked if I didn’t mention that I cringed a little bit when I heard the line: ” Supply a quick flow/so I can get dough/for my niggas and spread ‘em around like germs/and raise the stock value of my sperm/so girls will let me put my balls on their sideburns….” Ummm…okay then. But Ramz’ occasional slips into the vulgar do little to detract from his rather colorful vocabulary and impressive timing.

“More Sober Thoughts” is deceptively smooth, relaxing you into a groove as it provides some insight on a struggling rapper’s attempts to escape reality…”just let me escape from the fate/this reality can break a nigga/and I don’t know how much more I can take/I relate to my niggas rollin’ weed, sippin’ Henny/ cuz we lookin’ for good times but we ain’t getting any…” It’s nice to hear the truth for a change. The slide into slow-mo at the end is pretty cool too.

Although some of the lyrics on Frankenstein are a lil “mannish” for my taste (e.g. “now I don’t wanna go out shorty/don’t give me a call/ unless you planning on lickin’ my balls”…classy), I’m definitely a fan. It was certainly a bonus to get to the end of a mixtape and not be sick of it. I’m most definitely looking forward to his upcoming projects: Frankly Speaking and Quite Frankly.

From the front to the back, Frankenstein is an optimistic look at what I only hope will become the norm in hip hop. I’m just crazy enough to think the tide is turning and P. Diddy’s days on the mic are numbered. After 10 years in the biz- I don’t think it will be much longer before the self-proclaimed “reality rapper” can buy his moms that house down South. Hope springs eternal…

Shortman Score - "Go DJ" Freeverse




Here's my brother from another mother, Shortman Score(seize) reciting a little something he wrote to Weezy's "Go DJ" instrumental. Below you can check out my latest video of me going over Timbo's "Carry Out" instrumental as well. Basically, Score & I are working on a new project together called *No Fly Zone*. We are one song away from being finished with the writing and then it's on to the recording stages. This will hopefully be dropping late in the summer & it's sounding rediculous. You can also check some of his music out on his soundcloud page.

K. Sparks & Frank Ramz - "Good Mornin"

Completely forgot to post this joint up here.

Vick thought it would be a dope idea to get K. Sparks & myself on a track together. & the sh*t happened faster than he imagined. Once Sparks & myself agreed to do the track, Vick hit up Numonics for the production. A few days later, the track was done.

THEN, the next day after the song was completed, Numonics took our vocals and whipped up a remix, before the original song even surfaced. Both the original & the remix are below!

"Who Beat That Is?"

(That's the alternate cover..not too different from the original. Frankenstein's face is grey instead of white. Shouts to Charlie Hilton for whipping this up!)

Ok. As you already know on my *Frankenstein* mixtape I took a beat from each of XXL's 2010 Freshmen & stomped on 'em. Everytime I tell ppl this they go thru each song & begin asking, ''hmm, who beat that is??'' So I'm going to tell err'body where each beat came from.

1. Frankenstein Intro
Of course this isn't one of them. This is simply an intro. But if you didn't know, I got the very beginning from (if I'm not mistaken) the original Frankenstein movie. The part where I begin rapping is a song I did on my 2nd project *Welcome To Medusaville* & the song is called "Frankenstein". If you didn't know, that's Kanye's beat called "Addiction". Ok, this will prob be the most writing you'll see in this post. Everything else will just be me telling you mofo's the artist and name of the original song.

2. Practice Run
Nipsey Hussle - "Hussle Is My Last Name"

3. Turbulence
Wiz Khalifa - "This Plane"

4. Heaven Sent
Big Sean Ft. Kanye West - "Glenwood"

5. What It's Hitting Like
Donnis - "Gone"

6. The Terrorist
Pill - "Glass"

7. Monster Bash
Jay Rock Ft. Lil' Wayne - "All My Life (Ghetto)"

8. More Sober Thoughts
Freddie Gibbs Ft. Pill - "Do Wrong"
Ok, there's a history behind the title of this one. As you can see it says "MORE Sober Thoughts". That's because when I heard the beat it kind of gave me the same mood that I feel when I hear "Sober Thoughts". That beat was produced by Charlie Hilton & it's also off of my *Welcome To Medusaville* project.

9. Juiced Up!
Ay!! Ay!! Ay!! Ok!!
OJ Da Juiceman Ft. Gucci Mane - "Make The Trap Aye"

10. Dope $#!T
Fashawn Ft. Blu - "Samsonite Man"
Oh, & the title came from this shirt which was given to me by my homies @ Lemon Hi!! Shouts to Aaron & Ian aka BadNewsRapDudes.

11. Give Me Room
J. Cole - "Grown Simba"

Everything else is not from a freshmen, just random instrumentals.

12. Quick Strike (Extended Version)
Lloyd Banks Ft. Juelz Santana - "Beamer, Benz Or Bentley"
A while back Charlie Hilton suggested that I did one of my infamous youtube videos going over this beat. I did the video & really liked the beat so decided to do an extended version for the tape.

13. 150%
Snoop Dogg Ft. KiD CuDi - "That Tree"

14. Get Right To It
I honestly have no clue. All I know is it was produced by Cookin' Soul. If you know whose song this is let me know.

And I think that's about it. You can check out the review done by Antoinette below. Shouts to Vick over @ Re-Up Spot for hosting the tape & helping me get these beats together.
