This is my personal project to excavate from my mind what I am put on this earth to do. To learn what I love most about my life and close the gap on this journey to discover my greatest talent and passion.
My name is Rotten Mac (rottenowlsheep) and I write MyMindSpray.com mostly to keep my brain limber so I can stay sharp. I'm in my early 30's and feel I'm getting a really good grasp of who I am. I'm talking about experience and style. I'm old school shell toe adidas. I'm grandpas fisherman's hat. I'm a '65 Lincoln Continental w/suicide doors humming "Send Me Forget Me Nots" until noon then bumping the entire Mobb Deep Infamous album on the way home from work. I'm a dude like Lebowski but quote Tony Montana all day while eating beans and tortillas watching George Lopez. I'm a Photographer by trade with a pretty darn good eye for composition, and an excellent driver with a gifted intuition for technique and etiquette.

This is a piece from my functional art line. I’m a real practical person so functional suits me well. The pedals are matches, the stem is a fire extinguisher, center of flower is a fire alarm and the small tree on the left side is the mach striker. This piece is called “Set Pon Fiyah”. I actually need 100 or so books of neon blue matches to complete. If anyone has an idea of where I can get some or if you have some chillin in your garage holler at a playa!
My next functional art project is called “Electric Relaxation” where I’m taking all me favorite electronic toys from my childhood and creating one massive mechanical art piece equipped with turntable, records, CD/DVD Player, Gameboy, Atari, Cell Phone, speakers and hella more.

I love hip hop music. I’ve studied its origins from the South Bronx, to its usage of samples and delivery of masterful rhymes, and on to the sub genres glitch, dubstep, and electro etc. I also love anything “How-to”. I go wild on search engines like Google and Yahoo asking every little question that pops into my head. If you are not yet doing this, I recommend starting now. Its time to flip the switch and turn on that light bulb above your heads. Start with Howcast, eHow and about.com
While searching the web recently, I stumbled on a newly released book “How to Rap” The Art and Science of the MC. The cover features a photo of Q-Tip on the Mic and a short list of highly credible featured rappers. A true legend in the game, Kool G Rap writes the forward. MC’s from every region are featured within its pages including many classic hip hop era MC’s. For example you will read tips, advice and guidance from the likes of Gift of Gab, Havok of Mobb Deep, Big Daddy Kane, GURU of Gang Starr, RZA, KRS-1, Nas, Redman, Tha Alkaholiks, Cypress Hill and E-40. This book does not fall short of MC contributions.
Author Paul Edwards is an established writer and a researcher of hip hop. His book is the most extensive release of its kind featuring more than 100 rappers discussing and telling you how they use literary tools, imagery, similes, metaphors and analogies to define their style and personalities. How they work in the studio, perform live, play with words, punchlines, freestyling and making beats are also discussed, not to mention breathing techniques, vocal style and enunciation.
Released December 9th, 2009 How to Rap: The Art and Science of the Hip-Hop MC
is available now at Amazon.com If you pick one up, please send me an email or post a comment with your thoughts on the book. I read everything and respond to everyone.

Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
A History of the Hip-Hop Generation
By Jeff Chang
Introduction by DJ Kool Herc
“Hip-hop is the voice of this generation. Even if you didn’t grow up in the Bronx in the ’70s, hip-hop is there for you. It has become a powerful force. Hip-hop binds all of these people, all of these nationalities, all over the world together.”
—DJ Kool Herc, from the Introduction
Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation
