Ice Cube-It Was A Good Day (I Know - DJ DID IT Edit)

LYRICS:
Yeah, Yeah
Kid Napoleon 
Name ring through the hall 
Like a podium  
Thought I’d rule the world 
By sophomore year 
Now the empire’s dust
Nobody here  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Take the crown
Break it down
Watch the empire crack  
Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Now I’m sittin’ in the silence 
Where my shadow raps  

Jason Nada, fifteen
Bored in class  
Found a tricorn hat
Started spittin’ fast  

Hand in my coat
Thought I looked like a king  
High school hallways bowed 
When I started to sing  
Got a clique in the lunchroom
Fans in the bleachers  
Bars sharper than the rulers 
Of my history teachers  

Yeah, I studied empire
I knew how they fell  
But I swore I’d be the genius 
Who rewrote the tale  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Take the crown
Break it down
Watch the empire crack  

Cuz autocrat like that
Don’t give nothin’ back  
Now I’m sittin’ in the silence 
Where my shadow rap

First, cut the teachers 
Who were hatin’ my grind  
Then the lunch staff starvin’ me
Wastin’ my time  
Counselors talkin’ like 
I’m just one more stat  
Nah, I’m Kid Napoleon
Remember that  

Took the wrestlers down in rhymes
Cheer squad too  
Every “enemy” I listed 
Got erased from my crew  
But paranoia’s a poison — 
My friends looked fake  
If trust is a test
Every student breaks  

Who can I trust? 
Not you, not me  
Every crown in the mirror 
Lookin’ treachery  
Every empire falls
I read that fact  
But I thought I was different… 
Til the ceiling cracked  

Who can I trust? 
Not you, not me  
Every crown in the mirror 
Lookin’ treachery  
Every empire falls
I read that fact  
But I thought I was different… 
Til the ceiling cracked  

Now the hallways echo 
With nobody’s feet  

Empty gym, empty class
Empty throne, empty seat  
No applause for my verses
No teacher to grade  
No rivals left standin’
No crowd to persuade  

I destroyed my own kingdom 
For a crown too tight  
And I’m alone with my rhymes 
In the flicker of the light  
Kid Napoleon
Age fifteen
That’s that  
Cuz autocrat like that… 
Autocrat like that!

That’s the tale of Nada
Yeah
Jason’s gone  
You destroy 
Until nothing’s left to lean upon  
Remember this empire
Built on pride and rap  
Cuz autocrat like that… 

You don’t get nothin’ back.

Blood & Tears ( Westcoast G-Funk Boom-Bap Beat )

Lyrics:

Ayy.
Uh, look.
One, two.
One, two.
(You're all One and one)
If I looked at you and deserted you, would you look at me absurdly?
Or embrace your old friend with your arms openly?
Divulging the empty lies, fo' family the latter never mattered.
Simply they look at you like a lost lamb all cornered.
No recipe to breach it all in a week.
Penelope sue ya small ass like a creep.
All I need is time, but the stars conscious makes it a crime.
The more I give it my all, the more my fate seems appalled.
My skills are betta honed, though insular it seems my ideas lack depth.
Like a chef, I sacrifice nutrition to progress my intuition.
By insouciance, I achieve production but lack creativity and passion.
Do I achieve it all but one or be like everyone else, by learning till I finally reach it all? (Reach it all)
All I have is the university mentally guiding me till I reach STAR.
S stands for -.
T stands for -.
A -.
R -.
All I have is the university mentally guiding me till I reach STAR.
S stands for -.
T stands for -.
A -.
R -.
Reach the divine intervention.
You are something the whole universe is doing in the same way that the waves is something that the whole ocean is doing.
Am I fulfilling my purpose?
Or am I just existing till i lose?

Universe Mentality

West Side Connection Bow Down Da Ross Remix Nice

Ice Cube

album/tape/comp made between june 2018 (2-5) and september to december 2018, with enlightenment being from january 2019. stalled from its original vision of being more of a rap "since i left you," after my laptop crashed in june 2018. the rest of the tape was subsequently worked on after i got it back, dell repair time estimates were ass.

made for personal enjoyment in high school, sample arrangements and cover illustration/photography by me. 

america's most wanted RMX

This song was heavily inspired by ICE CUBE

A weekly podcast tracking Power, Deals in Emerging Tech and Media Through A Hip Hop Culture Lens

My productions are mainly Trap and West Coast Beats.
My niches are under the process of making for Blueface, Y.G and LA.Hip-hop type beats are also getting into niches in the trap scene, including Pop Smoke N.Y Drill and Detroit Trap Type Beats.
Under process for other niches
I have my own trap sound that I'm posting.
I think I tend to be a well-rounded hip-hop producer with multiple subgenres and type beats that I may produce and add my own type beats.
Thanks for the support and hopefully with hard work I can entertain more of you !!!

multidisciplinary creator—a poet, artist, and gamer whose work bridges emotional depth with digital imagination. His poetry leans into haunting beauty and redemptive themes, while his visual art often draws from anime-inspired aesthetics and metaphor-rich storytelling. As a gamer, Juan explores interactive worlds not just for play, but as canvases for narrative and mood.
He’s also deeply curious about the future of music, especially as AI reshapes how sound is made, shared, and felt. Juan sees AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a collaborator—one that can amplify emotion, unlock new sonic textures, and help artists translate feeling into form. In his vision, the future of music is a fusion: human soul meets machine precision, crafting soundscapes that are both intimate and infinite.
