january 21st - 2011 - Well i havent updated this in a while so i figured id make a post. i got a new laptop and my html is on my other computer so i just havent felt like turning it on to make any updates. firstly im sick of other artists cloning me. i think its cool that they look up to me and i really appreciate that, but as soon as i have a idea they are trying to duplicate the exact same idea within a few days. that shit aint cool at all. i wish theyd come up with there own ideas instead of trying to rip mine off.
my hearing is getting a little bit better. the way i sleep effects it alot, and if i go to a show i hear nothing but ringing for about 2 days. hurts pretty bad but eh what can you do. i guess ill do this until i go def. i dont do shwos with celebs that much anymore because really besides being able to meet the person it doesnt advantage us at all. weve been doing small free shows and i like those better. a few hundred people on my own show is still a great feeling
so i heard mgk got signed. let me tell u something about him, hes not from cleveland. hes just a popcorn suburb kid. no thats not how cleveland white boys are like, hes just a little lost and somehow wandered into rap. the majority of cleveland hates him. he has his little fan base of 13 year olds and rich kids thats about it. he will fade out in a year or so and then hell have to resort to trying to doing cleveland shows with the real cleveland bands and thats when hes going to get a punch right into the nose
ive been platinuming games on playstation im on my 20th platinum. im trying to hit 50 at the end of this year. a few people asked me what motivates me to do that. well for me i find something i like alot and then i want to be one of the bests at it, i know i cant be the best but i know i can make a name for myself and get close. i dont dedicate myself to one thing i do a aspect of many great things so im happy with being just in the top category of people. first i wanted to do music, well ive done that for 10 years. i wanted to get into graffiti and ive met all the artists i wanted to, now my thing is gaming, i want to crush these games. i have 109 ps3 games. so when im bored of that i think by the end of this year ill slow down and move on to the next thing i find a interest in
theres a few things ive been working on a movie script and book. not to much music although i still do shows here and there. i dont like writing, i mean i do like to write except the stuff i write is for myself usually so wether or not ill finish the book and movie script who knows.
i did a show with krayzie bone and gave him my demo cd, i was trying to put together a street team for flesh bone and bizzy bone i talked to there websites a little bit i dont really know whats going on with it so far. its really hard communicating with those guys cuz of how busy they are. i got a response back from krayzie bone about music so im waiting to hear back from him again.
some kid in a band told me to check his music out, the dumbass doesnt even realise im the person who got him his first concerts and if it wasnt for me he wouldnt of performed at all. theres to many dumbass singers. do yourself a favor and just dont start because the music industry is fucking flooded with shit right now. it needs to be flushed. if you do then be unique and do something different stop copying everyone else.
one of my friends got there song on vh1 mob wives, its going to be played i think the 29th at the end so check that out please
ive been studying the constitution man is our government fucked up. if you want to know why our country is in debt look up the federal reserve.
July 11th - 2011
July 2nd - 2011
heres some footage from the show yesterday. i said this on facebook but wanna say it again thanks for the bands who supported us that night and the fans. literally everyone i know rushed up there after work to see us, even just for half our set because of work. and everyone had tons and tons of fun! im having alot of trouble in my left ear with my hearing but i really really wanted to do this show for everyone and im glad im in a position where i can make people happy by performing.
I made this a few weeks ago but forgot to mention it, this is a beat i got from dj uneeks isntrumental album so i put one of my old songs to it, all i did was import my accapella but it matched up prett good. i think the lyrics really match that old ruggish sound
april 23rd - 2011
my friend from lost nation informed me about this interview about the show just thought id post it.
april 23rd - 2011 - Just wanted to say real quick thanks for the people who watched us perform. The music we do is really alot different then other people so we get a bit nervous playing but it always turns out really good so we appreciate it alot. anyone can kind of sing the same thing thats popular and do good but were one of the only rap bands that mix guitars and bass guitar in our stuff and at a bone thugs n harmony show u dont really know if thats what the people wanna hear or not. and also were prob the only band that would remix a kriss kross song and sing it. the floor was completely empty and the host introduced us and everyone actually came up to watch us so it really made us feel good and welcomed and im very glad my hometown supported me. my bass player even gave his trenchcoat away to this cool dude we met. and believe me them trenchcoats aint cheap. but we got some bone thugs jackets so it made it up for it. i also just decided to give all my masks away, everyone wanted them but no one really had the money to afford them so on the way out as everyone was looking at them and asking me for them i handed them out to people who really wanted them, a few really just wanted some for there sons so i had to hook em up. we even gave all the security a free cd. being security they have to deal with alot of drunks they deserve it, hell im usually one of those drunks they got to deal with lol. so it seemed like everyone was pretty happy. we stayed about 6 hours then we were just to tired to stay anymore so we didnt see flesh perform but we got to see him do sound check so thats better then nothing. layzie bone was with there with him and a buncha mo thugs. i hope flesh comes back soon. when we do these shows we dont get to enjoy them to much because were usually tired from performing and leave early, id like to hit some up and just relax sometime. also if anyone is reading this from the show i lost my hearing in my left ear about 2 months ago, so im not exactly sure how good i was singing but people said it was ok jsut the mic was having some problems. well thats it for now, the d12 show is sunday im on the guest list so i may try to go there but my hearing will prob keep me in. below is the bone stuff we got, u can buy the same stuff at the flesh website
april 22nd - 2011 -
March 23rd - 2011 - april 22nd were doing a show with flesh bone, this friday were also doing a show
March 16th - 2011 - I know some people arent into being all nice and jolly and i understand that especially if you walk around in the streets and live in a bad area or your around your crew and etc. but as you get older you progress into a more mild person, become alone more, and try to figure out why fucked up things keep happening to you. One thing about music is you want people to like you, people like u then they like your music. No ones going to buy your cd if your a dickhead. If your from the streets dont carry that ego with you all the time. There are people who are your fans that might not be as rugged as you but like what your doing so you have to learn how to interact with them. heres some things i etched out that i try to do to be a better person. Being a better person is better for your soul. Life is the beginning, its a test for eternal life after we die how things will be. I printed this out in my home and put it on my fridge so everytime i get something to drink i read it and remind myself. I know some people are like fuck that shit ima do what i want fuck everyone, but for other people who arent in that stage of ther elife anymore this might help you
- Try not to get mad at ignorant people. Theyll Learn. Be Calm. Life will be explained to them in a way you cant teach them through trial and error. Yelling will just make things worse for yourself. If possible explain to them what they do wrong but do it in a way they dont get mad, like say thats a good try but i know you have it in you to do things this other way.
- Forgive people in your heart before they say sorry. Its optional to not tell them and hide it to protect yourself(this world is very cruel and theyll use it against u thinking they can push u around) Everyone will be forgiven when we die and be taught right from wrong. Dont judge and anger is the enemy.
- Dont lie, instead of telling people what they want to hear just think things through in the first place and do good in your life then you wont have those problems. Instead of lying, tell the story but with less details so it doesnt unfold into more lies.
- Treat everyone equal regardless of beauty, uglyness, and weight. Everyone has feelings and deserves a kind reply and compliment. Find one thing you like about someones characteristics and tell at least one person a day. If everyone in the world did this for one person a day think of how much happier everyone would be. It might even decrease killings and crimes n etc. Think about it, anger triggers everything negative off
- Dont cut or scar your body. This dont have much to do with music except people see you as a role model. If they think there idol has lost faith then they will lose faith in you. Our body is a present given to us. We can decorate it with ink but destroying it with cutting is like cutting a new shirt someone gave you.
- Stop cursing with the words god damn and jesus christ. this is more for me to personally do it might not apply to you, although id like to hope everyone does this.
- To suffer now is to become even stronger in our afterlife.
March 14th - 2011 heres a new remix i worked real hard on, you tube destroyed the quality its a remix of a old nwa song called panic zone. since i have anxiety i figured id remix it to rap about feeling like im paranoid all the time. ill release the mp3 of it when i have enough remixes for a regular album. it was really hard to finish this with my hearing problem but i did because for all i know it could be my last song.
I been working on tons of music stuff. people are really trying to fuck us over and hold us back left and right but i cant get into that the more i talk about it the more they get salty. the fact is people like us and what were doing, and the powers to be are jealous.
im in the works of planning a event for the summer, im mapping out all the details i cant say to much yet because then certain people will try to postpone it because they dont like us being successfull. all i can say is were organising something that will be "for the people" there wont be no concern about money or ego's. this will be something for you that we control and organised and is done with you in mind as were organising it. im really excited about it. hopefully we can change the neglect that people have been recieving for years. its time for a change and to make things better for the music industry. its time for bands to stop being raped by the higher ups in charge. thats all i can say.
by the end of this year im planning on building a new studio, but not for me, itll be for young artists who want to start making music and devote there time to doing something positive to work towards goals and to get out of the streets and stop commiting crime. i will conduct a class teaching alot of knowledge about the music industry and what u need to know before you start. the studio will offer cheap prices. im going to take a few classes before hand to improve my engineering and production skills first.
if anyone is seeking god in there life or hope and feels really lost ive came across a very known contact who is in prison for life. 360 years. you may know him as the son of sam, the serial killer david berkowitz. i came across a friend of his who gave me his contact info to the jail hes in. hes fully converted to god now and isnt the same person he was. it takes a killer to understand a killer, it takes bad to get bad to listen. so i want to have some of his positive teachings he gives me(if he agrees) and post them on my website for newly people to have guidance. i will be taking questions u want me to ask him and post the answers here. this is a work in progress so like i said its up to him what he wants to do. im a very spiritual driven person but i dont talk about it much. one thing about my religious beliefs is i dont force it on people. i went to a catholic school and the more they forced me to be religious the more i hated it. it took years of rebuilding myself after i graduated to become religious after all the crime i had just lived in and seen and done as a kid. i know religion isnt something alot of people want to hear. so when the time is right that you do want to hear it then it will be here for you to absorb in.
ill have our melodic metal cd available on cd baby soon so you can order the actual cd with the case and everything from any location and any country. alternatively you can always just buy per song mp3 for 99 cents or the whole album for 10 on itunes. this is one of the only products that we ask money for so please pick one up so we can continue to keep doing stuff for free.
i know im leaving some news out but i cant think right now, oh ill be working on a 5 disc dvd that will be tons of footage over the years of me and meatbagz. stuff like our first concerts and all of that im really excited about it itll be the history of confuzion dvd. i'll have to sell this because its something im going to be putting alot of time in and putting alot of money in for materials.
we may be doing a cocnert with flesh bone, were not officially booked yet but itll be a album release party my friends are putting together for him. so ill keep u updated on that
and last is the official video for a new song i made called elements. the chorus is one i made years ago when i first did demos. so i decided to make this cool video just for something new for you people to enjoy so i hope you like it it took me a very long time to edit together the main clips are pasted together from a old film called twister. elements have so much to do with the world from creation, who we are, nature, and life itself so a human catastrophe like tornados fit right in. alternatively in the background of the clip is me singing during the chorus.
Jan 21st - I cancelled the twista show, it doesnt really advantage us much doing it, matter of fact it doesnt help us at all i would just lose money on it so im not doing it at all. the only thing i would get out of it would to be able to say we did the show and maybe get to meet him if he aint a dickhead but most famous people dont give a flying fuck about anything but money. we do much better doing our own shows believe it or not. so i really tried but theres like 30 other people doing that show, theres people all over ohio doing that show, and theres people who arent even bands selling tickets for that show. i can judge pretty good before hand if a show is going to be whack for us and that one will be. im sure itll be good for others but for us no, singing to a empty crowd sucks or just singing to the other bands sucks. so, sorry for anyone who wanted to come see us. i was offered the prozac show but its on a sunday and people hate coming to shows when they gotta work in the morning plus well prozac tickets dont sell so i had to pass on that one to(in general they sell, but trying to find the people to sell individually to they dont sell). waiting for the right show to come up to do it. ill keep you informed. it has nothign to do with being greedy about money it has to do with losing a mass amount of money if we do the show.
Jan 8th - If you feel lost, like u thought u had someone and they told u that theyd be there for you and they aint, this song is for you. just listen and the song speaks for itself. i browsed the radio today and the stuff i heard on it was so ignorant. they can keep being ignorant that just makes me look that much better. i love making a track like this that has meaning
Jan 8th - . i dropped off samplers at royalton mall at hot topic and fyi on the front desk only 10 at each place so get them quick theres actually 16 tracks on it so its really a full cd
Jan 2nd. - went to the mall today and i heard someone talking about its 2011 and this year he dont give a fuck about anyones lifes. thats great, great outlook, then that spreads and eventually its going to come back to someone not giving a fuck about his life. but people dont think that far ahead i guess. anyways the main reason for this post is to tell you i dropped off samplers and concert tickets at the exchange and fyi in parma and parmatown mall. theres only 10 at each place so grab them tommorow because id oubt theyll last long.
Dec. 28th - wow i just got a buncha great news within the past few days that im very excited about and you will be 2! first we will start the new years with twiztid doing a show at peabodys tickets are 25$ a piece, i wont be performing this time im taking the day off but my friend wizzle will be performing as the opener and ill be there watching for a little bit before i head back home
Next up another FREEEEEE show january 15th we'll be doing for our booking agent bundy at peabodys called bundys birthday bash. If you never been to one of these its basically kinda like a juggalo night show, its going to be so much fun i have free tickets ill tell about that in a second, but you can print this flyer to get in for free and make sure you tell them your here to see confuzion! now isnt that nice of us to start off 2011 with more free performances for you to go meet chicks and get your fuck on lol
oh and it gets better, blaze and abk back in cleveland performing some of the old drive by stuff as well as other tracks. if you didnt know the first solo show i did in 2005 was with abk and blaze. i might try to get on this show but they dont know yet if there having openers but i figured id mention the show anyways
and last for the shows in february for my birthday ill be performing with guesss who guess who...... the one and only TWISTA. yup pretty excited since he rarely tours and theres tons of fans just waiting for this show. and tickets are cheap 15$ only! i dont have the tickets yet but i should after new years. remember to always buy tickets for shows directly from me instead of ticketmaster. the flyer for that show isnt out yet
now one last bit of info ill be making samplers again to promote these shows, the samplers will be called "2010-2011 winter phat n free, pack cd, and dvd!" it will include a new song, 2 full songs from the last album, maybe a demo that we will be performing january, flyers, and if i can find blank dvds for a cheap price ill be adding a free confuzion promotional dvd that has a hour worth of concerts n videos of me on it
Dec. 25th - Merry anti christmas!
Nov. 26th - 2 areas of interest in this update. first were doing another FREE show for bundys bday bash a huge event we have each year for our friend who works at the club the date will be january 15th
im putting my cd in best buy and i need to make a list of key areas, this helps me know where i should put more cd's at. i only have a limited amount right now before i have to manufacture more so i want the few i have to go to areas where fans are at. people ask how they can help spread the word so with this now you can play the cd for your friends and tell them to go to the local best buy near u to get a copy
if possible can everyone tell me what city and state of best buy you have gone to, if possible be specific email me at hippahoppa26@yahoo.com
thank you!
the issue of being independant is i have to do all the legwork, everyone wants the cd but getting the cd to everyone is very pricey. i can sell them at shows but alot get broken in the process of carrying so much and drunk crowd members and when we open for big names like tech n9ne we dont get a merchandise spot we have to carry our cd's. the other option is mailing them which then we have to worry about the cd getting lost in the mail, someone giving us the wrong address and missing a number, shipping costs diminish the profit we make.
all future profits will go towards the next cd, as well as finishing up ideas i have for our stage appearence for the free shows we do. i wanna get more stage props and lights and a banner and all that so you dont see the same old boring shit. so the more people chip in and spread the word the more fun we can make the shows the more people come out and the more times you get laid haha
Nov. 23rd - i dont really have any music news i just wanna talk about life. death is something i think about nonstop, thought about it since i was old enough to even think a thought. ive been scared about it my entire life wondering wtf is gonna happen. your aspects change on it more and more as u get older. at one point i hated god when i was like 14 i blamed him for everything, then another point i was a mean idiot who was ready to kill anyone who fucked with me (thankfully i never had to) because i didnt care about my life. and other times i was suicidal because i was so depressed. im becomming more calm and peacefull and figuring this whole life thing out and walking with faith now. i use to pray and get no results and then blame god. at that point weak people give up and become whatever the hell else they become. me i never gave up. faith is such a important thing in life, its to believe in yourself in whatever your doing when you dont know the answer or the outcome you just have to walk by faith and believe in yourself so much that the huge risks you take will be for the right way to go and thats what i been doing. i realised when i prayed and my prayers werent answered that i then thought well why should they be answered? wtf have i done for anyone else? do i deserve help? so for a few years i started helping people, making people happy, stopped stealing and robbing and breaking things that werent mine and stopped causing destruction and said to myself i dont really care if my prayers dont work but ima just keep being a good person anyways because it sooths my soul and i enjoy it and then hopefully if i do need help that my prayers will be answered. i can honestly say now anytime something really really bad is happening and i ask for help, i get it everytime. and more recently something happened in my personal life that i cant get into much but it was a miracle, i truly believe some force answered this prayer/miracle for me. why does bad happen? because its a test. everything here in life is a test for us. NOTHING matters here except our faith and tons of us are really going to suffer when we die. nothing here on earth matters to me anymore all i care about is doing the right thing so that im where im suppose to be when i die. i walk by faith, whatever is put in front of me i deal with it no more questions asked "why me" my life is fucked up and it always will be, its a test. they dont like the weak they feed off it. im alone alot but im surrounded by spirits, alot of good ones and alot of bad ones. when i sleep they attack me. so many odd things happen to me when im alone. why are some people millionaires and some are broke? money doesnt matter, were all placed here for a certain reason and by luck some of us are picked to entertain other people, some of us are made with our brains more thinkable in a area of development and go on to invent cars and machines we need. we all have a place. when we die we'll be in this place where we all have mansions. i have this anxiety problems here on earth, but when i die the place we go no one has anxiety, i believe that everyone has a positive energy so positive that we dont get mad, we feel good all day we feel happy all day. everyone is so happy that theres no reason to do wrong. its really hard to put into words the way i feel about life, i hope i explained it a little bit. just try to do good and youll be ok. believe in yourself, believe in doing right for your soul, nothing matters here except that. have faith my friends, have faith. when i explain these things i do take into consideration that there is always a huge group of people who dont believe in prayers, god, heaven, and they dont want to hear about it either. i understand that i was also the same way so im not trying to preach to you about that but i am trying to make your life easier if you can just get past the word "god" or prayer or any of those words and actually think about what im saying. if you dont believe in any of that thats fine but just do the right things and have faith in yourself and whatever happens after we die youll be ok. oh also i forgot, forgiveness is another main key. we have to forgive its so so important. instead of daming your own soul for revenge just walk away. if someones bitching at you, dont bitch back just agree so the argument can be over. dont be like them, if you do something back then that means your just like the person you hate. remember you cant take material possesions with you when you die, so is a material thing more important then someones feelings? forgiveness. these have been really important factors to my life for a long long time and ive never spoken about them because i dont like to press the issue about it so this is prob the only time youll hear it, ok im done.
Nov. 11th - Check out this lil gidget i made up to sample some of the songs on the new cd. If you go into the cd section i made this for each pressed cd
Confuzion - Melodic Metal (click play in middle & cycle through)
also im Working on a free cd for you people, its a bass n piano cd with a lil rap in it. was messing with a few bass drums that hit pretty hard and decide to make a whole cd out of it. should be pretty neat. i know a few people have dropped me messages saying they like to play my cd in there system and wished some of the songs had heavier bass so this cd will be strictly heavy heavy bass and some piano going over it and not to many other instruments. i have 3 of the songs half made already, ill prob just make it a 8 song free cd
Oct. 26th - i just worked 6 hours straight on a promotional dvd. this dvd is a hour long it has our last concert from this october on it which is about 20 minutes, plus 2 older concert clips, cd commercial, some artwork, unofficial and official music videos, a few bonus songs. oh man theres so much stuff on it the menu is 6 pages long. the quality is a little fuzzy on some clips but still viewable. when your in a nightclub things dont record to great and the footage was alot of converted after converted after compressed footage. theres going to be 2 versions ones the free version(local)/cheapversion which will basically be free or a dollar if u wanna help out or if u want me to mail it 3$(to help us cover shipping and materials) which if you want one email me your address to hippahoppa26@yahoo.com and the aspect ratio of your tv either 4:3 or 16:9 if you dont know which one you have 4:3 is the old kind of tvs and 16:9 is usually widescreen. either way itll still work youll just have some black lines on the side of the tv if u pick the wrong one. then the other version which will cost like 5-10 dollars will just cover the cost it costs me to make it which is a labelflash dvd which has a image engraved into the dvd, and a case for it. plus the money will cover the shipping cost thats pretty much the most pain in the ass of why i dont make money off anything out of state is shipping. the percentage i would make from anything we sell is taken from me in shipping. so i dont lose money but i dont make money either. but none of that really matters in the end what matters is people love the stuff were doing so if i have to i throw some money out of my own pocket to keep on doing it.
Oct. 10th - man i hate doing concerts so much. if it wasnt for the juggalos and fans i wouldnt do them but i do it for them and everyone else so they can have a good time because thats what im in this for is so people can have a good time. let me introduce u to the concert game and the shit i gotta go thru. first we get there at 10 cuz they say get there a hour early. no one will let us know what to do so do i park or drop the stuff off at the door. remind u i cant stay in one spot on a one way street 2 long. so i see 2 of the workers that i know and call there name, they look and keep walking. wow thanks alot now theres a car behind me who has to get thru the street im blocking so i leave and park about 5 blocks over. i finally get ahold of someone and i just park. so we wait almost 2 hours to get in. and we bring alot of stuff we have to carry in a huge box of props and meatbagz giant amp but do they let us in first, nope the crowd goes in and the stairs is full. now we have to carry all our shit past everyone and we risk really injuring someone if we drop any of that stuff. finally we get in and are kinda rushed to set everything up to get on stage because its already midnight. i hurry up and set everything up and am out of breath its hot as fuck under those stage lights all i wanted is a beer so i order my usual vodka and orange juice. new bartender, this was the absolute worst drink ever, it was basically water, there was no alcohol in it and u couldnt even taste the juice at least do that for me damn. so i try to return it and the girl avoids me, they are calling me to come on stage to sing but fuck that i want my damn drink or i aint singing. so i see the other bar tender i know i ask her to help me out for her to tell the other bar tender that u guys know me good and to make my drink regular and not rip me off. and she says i cant help u i aint working today, im like wtf u cant just get the other girls attention and tell her, nope. so i told someone else to get me one. then i got on stage and before i sung i said dont buy the liquor its watered down i said it to the entire crowd on the mic. so then later theres this bum with a fake 100 dollar bill he ordered me and him a drink and im trying to give the bar tender a hint to not make the drink dont open them up and im signalling her off to the side to tell whisper in her ear not to serve this guy but she ignores me and walks all the way on the other side of the bar. i cant believe this dumb bitch i wanted to jump over that counter and break every bottle over her stupid ass head. so i finally get her attention and i say let me pay u for this drink since u opened it even though i dont want it im trying to be fair and help her out, she doesnt even say thanks or anything, and i tell her spill that other dudes beer out and dont give it to him and im trying to help her out what does she do she deliberately ignores me yet again and walks to the other side of the bar and ignores me. might i remind you my fucking show is paying that dumbass cock sucking sluts salary. i didnt even get paid for that show i do it for free for the fans and i get treated like shit by all the workers. i cant fucking stand that place i dont even wanna do shows there anymore but every other place is just as fucking bad. so its going to take me a little while to want to even step foot in that place again but i eventually will. well thats our exciting night. the show was really good and packed and it seemed everyone had alot of fun so thats all i care about is the fans.
Sept. 22nd - heres a small clip of us and our new lights at the bizzy bone show
Sept. 21st - I guess T Mills was at the bizzy bone show we did, so we opened for him also technically. I didnt know who he was until i just opened up my myspace and saw a huge pic of him on the front page so thats pretty cool. hah doing shows with famous people and i didnt even know. i actually think i remember seeing him a few times but i didnt know who he was so i didnt say anything obviously. his rap is more of the new kinda rap so if u wanna check him out heres his stuff http://www.myspace.com/tmills not really my taste of music but im sure others like it. also i recorded tony sinisters set at the bizzy show for him so if your a blood rain entertainment fan that footage will be up soon
Sept. 20th - The Bizzy Bone show was really good. we where there like 7 hours so we didnt get to see bizzy perform, all that drinking did us in. the crowd was big then small big then small, we performed upstairs so there wasnt to huge of a crowd but i knew there wasnt going to be anyways it was on and off like i said because it was from 6pm till almost 2 am, but we got to perform for a few people who really wanted to see us. i kinda just wanted to test the lights for the juggalo night show next month for halloween because thats our favorite shows.
our cd on itunes is doing ok, i didnt think it would sell at all because people dont like using credit cards but its going better then i thought. bizzy bone is one of the coolest musicians ive got to do a show with, id say next to marz because hes fresh to. most people we open for dont want anything to do with us besides taking our money but we got to talk to bizzy at sound check and i offered to let him use our lights and he was gracious and said hed come on stage with us but he had to go to the ohio hip hop awards so we didnt catch him before we left. hopefully we can get him on the next album next time hes in town. shouts out to him again
i have the melodic metal cd as a sampler i been handing out at hot topic, guitar center, and the exchange(ill post it its the audio taken from the melodic metal commercial). im talking to the record exhcange now to get our cd in there, its a long process. ill also be making a official sampler of the melodic metal cd instead of homemade ones which will include remixes of the song candy barz from the album, the sampler, and then maybe 2 regular tracks from the album or just maybe 2 new unreleased songs or some old remixes or something. theyll prob be handed out for free or sold just for 1$. i want to be able to do things for free as much as possible or just charge a cheap price to make our money back to make more products.
Sept. 15th - The free show october 2nd has been rescheduled to the week after on the 9th. i got a american dj quad gem dmx light display for all our concerts. i been wanting to get this for like 2 years and finally had the money saved to get it. it cost about 200 dollars and i got it at guitar center. the worker named josh really helped me out alot so i figured id mention his name here thanks alot dude, he actually answered all my questions and wasnt a dick about anything he talked to me a good 20 to 30 minutes at least and displayed a buncha stuff that i asked so i recomend asking for him if u go there and make sure he gets the commision if u buy anything. so heres a short clip of the lights, if u skip to about 1 minute youll see me stoned blabbing lol. i need to get fog i thought my fog machine i had was ok but its broke so ill make another video when i get a fog machine. im pretty sure ill be using this at the bizzy bone show, we will definately use it at the free show at juggalo night because juggalo nights are the most important shows to me because its being able to do something for free for the fans and thats when i get to hand out free stuff and really make people happy and give them one fun night of freedom from this shitty world.
Sept. 13th - The free show were doing October 2nd is cancelled so maybe november we'll get one to do. bizzy bone show saturday, thats it im out
Sept. 5th - I havent taken the samplers yet to the stores but handed those ones out so i have to buy more materials to make more. i added a guestbook, you can now click the link above to leave me a note, i like when people say hi when they visit the site
Sept. 3rd - Im Putting together sampler cd's, theres 6 full tracks on them from my 3 cds and 2 sampler tracks. theres a short bio sheet for the cd. and then im including a business card, the confuzion bio sheet, and a bizzy bone flyer. You can find them at record exchange in parma and royalton first, then later at randal exchange and hot topic. If you know a place in ohio thatd youd like me to drop them off at let me know
August 27th - Working on the website sections a little bit more adding things from myspace, added a few more promo pics going to add a buncha concert pics sometime soon.
August 25th - I dont even gotta explain this one!
and been brushing up on my video skills we now got a promotional commercial for our cd it took me about 4 hours to throw this together i like it
This is a small short bio flyer you can print out and hand out at shows or leave at places. Right click the image and pic save as and save it to your computer. The image will be alot bigger so When you go to print it out go in the options and click "fit to page" so it all print out as one picture on one page. You can even email this to friends and etc.
July 27th - I started makign a new music video where theres 2 of me in the same frame rapping at each other, but it made me look like 2 ghosts lol you could see right through me, so obviously im not doing something right. either that or im dead and dont realise it yet. anyways that idea is scrapped for now. Im working on ringtones. Im trying to make things to sell cheap as possible so people will stop saying there broke they cant afford to buy a cd, well buy our songs for a dollar on itunes or a ringtone for a dollar, a dollar from everyone adds up and can help us keep doing free concerts for everyone to come to. so dont be a stingy mofo lol think of it as donations but your getting something for your donation. were going to do another free show after the gathering is over with. so search confuzion and meatbagz on itunes and buy a song for a dollar it will relaly help us out, and thanks for the support!
May 24th - Free show went really good, made alot of new friends and fans. Juggalo night is still going really good. Heres a video from that night, me following meatbagz with the cmaera and some snippets of the concert. i have our whole set recorded but didnt post it because theres so many concert videos of us posted.
May 10th - Free show this saturday at peabodys
April 11th - Re-Added cd section. Still just fiddling with the site when i have time, any suggestions of what u want to see let me know
March 29 - Our cd is available now on itunes i signed a little deal with them to distribute our music. Id still rather have u buy it straight from me though. But if you only have a dollar to spend and only want a song you can buy them 1$ each per song or 10$ to download the entire album. think about it you pay 3$ for a stupid fucking ringtone why not buy 3 full songs for the same price
i also did some bone thugs n harmony remixes where i added a verse to there songs that i have uploaded but ill post them for free soon. for now you can look on you tube there up there
ah where the hell do i start. i cant believe im still around, i still use the same shitty equipment ive had 7 years ago but it seems to be doing ok. the first show i did was in april of 2005. a band i met had invited me to do a colab track with them at a show with marz. i was pretty stoked being able to do a show with someone famous for my very first show. i was even more excited that i had already been a fan of marz since i was a kid because i liked ministry and dark lotus. i had never really been to a concert besides a marilyn manson one in 1996 and i didnt like bars so i had no clue what to expect. first show i met my homie joe, i been seeing him ever since and now he even does shows and we both support each other. my sister came up to support me, she gave me alot of vodka to calm my nerves. i didnt really know what to expect so i just got hammered, got on stage really trashed sipping a screwdriver and we did ok. when i got off stage id say around 10 people came up to me telling me i was really good. also one of my friends i knew that made the juggalo pc games was there and came up to me and bought me a drink. in december i did my own first solo show with blaze and abk. ever since then i been doing shows with tons of famous people thanks to chris and bundy. i know its there job to book acts, but theres alot of asshole agents out there but chris and bundy there my friends, they also dig insane clown posse so they know where im coming from. let me tell u this, the music world is very harsh. concerts can be fun, but its all business and it will stress u out. you will lose girlfriends, you will lose your love life, everything is something it isnt. girls will think your fucking everyone that hugs you. its alot of crazy shit out there. me, the way i maintain is to keep my cup full of liquor. i get so drunk that i dont want to remember the show i did yesterday. and i dont. really the only thing i remember is all my memorabilia i have from shows like magazine clippings and stuff. thats how i remember it.
look honestly i dont know what the fuck im doing, ive studied music my whole life, i stay really really drunk on stage, i yell, i cuss, i spill beer on everyone and i try to jiggle my legs around like a kung fu kittie. i missed grade school and high school because i was up all night watching headbangers ball and yo mtv raps. i just do what i think is music, not what everyone else is doing. i dont listen to anyone elses underground stuff because i dont want any of there ideas. ive never been boo'd once in 5 years so i guess im doing something right, and if i was ever boo'd id prob most likely just jump off stage and pound my beer can into there face, either that or the 100 other people i roll with would do it for me. so my advice is if u wanna do concerts as long as me your gonna have to stick with it and make alot of sacrifices. you cant have a normal life, or a family life, its just really not possible without fucking things up. oh yah and dont ever be a arrogant asshole. people like me because im real with them, im not a star im just tommy. i give people pizza when there hungry, rides home when there at the bus stop, and medicine when they got a cold.
so heres a show i did yesterday at the powerhouse. ive done all sorts of shows, metal, hip hop, emo, everything. my voice was a bit blown out in this show so i decided to just use my new video editing program to really piece this one together and make a badass video clip
also my friends psych ward did a set after me so i went on stage with them
also i did a song thats about 5 minutes long rapping about all the shows ive done and people ive met you can download it for free here, its kinda just a demo but ill prob just leave it as is since its free
Nov. 12th - Guess what our cd is being mastered right now, its already paid for to be manufactured, mastered, and submitted to itunes. which id rather u buy the actual cd instead of itunes because they keep a percentage but its good for u if u just want like one specific song for 1$. Were also doing a show with Anybody Killa December 12th at peabodys.

Melodic Mizery is going back to the plane basic page. People are actually to fucking lazy to create a login username and password for a free cd (can you believe that?). so itll just be basic news and downloads. resort to www.myspace.com/confuzion for now till the page is back up, untill then i'll be slowly adding sections and news
