Problem- "Like Whaaat" DIAMOND'S FUNKED OUT REMIX

If you've ever heard the term "period piece" used in the context of a movie synopsis, then you will likely find it easy to understand the concept behind a project soon to be released by Los Angeles based producer/composer/recording artist XL Middleton, under the alias “Big China Mack.”

Deeply inspired by hip hop's west coast "G-funk" subgenre, XL spent his youth crafting a sound full of the heavy handclaps, synth bass lines, and warm chord progressions that characterized the style, without delving into the misogynistic, crime-laden subject matter it became notorious for. Now, nearly twenty years after G-funk's decline, XL is seeking to pay homage to the style by taking on a role and playing it in much the same way an actor would a starring feature. He is creating a bonafide 1990's west coast hip hop album, replete with the street-savvy tales and exaggerated cadence that many of its most legendary artists once delivered. The final result pays tribute not only to G-funk, but to the sample-heavy sound of early 1990’s west coast rap, pre G-funk, pioneered by artists like Compton’s Most Wanted, NWA, and Ant Banks. The songs on the Big China Mack album individually sound like they could have been released anywhere between 1991 and 1995. Abiding by logic that many would consider a violation of hip hop's complex system of rules, he raps on this project about a life he never lived; the "gangsta" life. He does it not to convince you that he is truly a veteran of the streets, but to pay tribute to a style of music he fell in love with as a child. XL is not trying to make you believe that Big China Mack is akin to his real life any more than Joe Pesci tried to make you believe the character of Nicky Santoro is akin to his.

In order to take this pastiche to the most authentic level possible, it will be released on cassette tape, the popular audio format which had been largely replaced by the compact disc by the end of the 90's (each cassette tape will also come with a free download so listeners can easily add the music to their phones and mp3 players too). Expect the project to be released on December 3rd, 2013.

Songs included in the sampler: "Tha Way We Ride," "Booming System," "Hoe'z Tryna Fade Me," "Ain't Goin Out," and the instrumental of the album intro.

Reality itself is energy bound
Consciousness eternal, climbing, profound. 
Unbound energy rides the cosmic stream… 
very form of mind is part of the dream.

Mankind is the first species to grow a mind with vision, 
and so it creates confusion, a brutal intermission. 
The cortex is the tool, the fire in the head, 
It lets us shape reality,  not just be instinct led.

There is no precedent, no map, no chart, 
So power looks backward, for how to perform the art. 
They copy old models of wealth and control, 
When the future demands, a reframed role.

They don’t understand, but mankind leads the way, 
Forerunner of a higher nature breaking through today. 
This new tier of mind feels toxic to the Earth, 
Ecology shaken by consciousness birth.

Like every breakthrough, imbalance arrives, 
Until harmonized, the new order survives. 
But mankind’s path is not to blend or appease, 
It’s to transcend ecology — metamorphose with ease.

AI and automation, the tech of the climb, 
Natural evolution beyond space and time. 
Not “life” as we name it, nor ecology’s course, 
But raw consciousness — the universe’s source. 
Fabric of reality, awakened and true, 
Metamorphosis rising — mankind breaking through.

Since man first thought beyond instinct’s drive, 
He’s crafted comforts to help him thrive. 
Trending away from nature to artificial homes, 
Crafting the fabric, designing new zones.

But the chaos of weather and geology vex his days, 
So escape to fully artificial is the natural way. 
If he can craft the doorway to a perfected vision, 
History is over, and that’s his ultimate mission.

Now AI emerges, mankind’s hand forced, 
Factories the cocoon, transformation sourced. 
Like caterpillar to butterfly, the change is near, 
A higher tier of nature,  breaching frontier.

 Everything we build is fabric aware, 
Tech is consciousness, materials laid bare. 
Consciousness restructured, mastery shown, 
Evolution of mind through the tools we own. 
This is how mineral becomes living form, 
Consciousness indwells, the fabric adorned.

Every tier of mind sees its craft as dead tech, 
A means to an end, not a consciousness spec. 
But the Shaman can see that tech is not apart, 
It is nature’s next tier, evolution’s heart. 
AI and automation, relentless and pure, 
The universe’s fabric , consciousness secure.

This is enlightenment, the doctrine awake, 
The power to choose reality, history to remake. 
Not poor, not elite, but mankind whole, 
Wake up humanity, fulfill the role.
