I got a wild hair to resurrect old beats that I've had sitting on old hard drives for a long time and started trying to gather them onto my phone to evaluate if i can write to them or just put them on a beat tape or what, and i realized a folder of what i considered "old beats" last time i did this…

...was dated September, 2016. Some of the earliest FL Studio beats are from the oughts. A few old Impulse Tracker beats are even from the late 90s. I really can't let anything go! I think they're all as good as anything I've ever done... mostly because I still love whatever samples I used.

The problem is my ideas machine broken. I don't know what to rhyme about on them anymore. Half of them are upbeat and just want a 1991 Chubb Rock approach, and half of them are sad and serious and want me to unearth trauma or address injustices. And both of those are hard work!
