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.
I only discovered Yelawolf aka Catfish Willie early January on Hip Hop IS Read (Thanks Ivan) when he released his album “trunk Muzik”. The music is exactly what the album title describes. It’s some supper 808 bass beats perfect for your wolfers and bazooka tubes in the back of your trunk. And don’t you dare think of Miami bass or techno bass.. This is HIP HOP maing!! And there is no question about it. At first when you hear Yalawolf rap, you may stereotypically think of eminem. But please keep listening because Catfish Willie is far far away from 8 Mile. Yelawolf comes true with lyrics that only an Alabama back roads gangster can really speak speak about. Dude is talking about driving 120 in the 20 with some liquor in one hand, being chased wondering to himself, what the F**k and I doing right now? Or he’s got a guy named Santana who is in the basement “Mixin Up the Medicine” then they “get jailed, jump bail”. He’s got a sick hook “Don’t make me go pop… the trunk. On you!” That’s tight. Basically I recommend starting at the first track “Trunk Muzik” and play each song in order.
Yelawolf “Trunk Muzik” is the best album I’ve heard in 2010. I know it’s only the end of January but it gonna hold up fool!!! lol
