Dionysus Rhythm [Track 03]

  

“Dionysus Rhythm” is how you wish you could rap! … let alone write. Bursting in without warning I get straight to the point. What if I just broke it down for you and made it ill about math, chemistry, and physics because, like pi, I derive no limits! 

The entire song is a clear display of talent, skill, and lyrical ability. As with the tradition of Apollo, the seasoning of lyricism is peppered with an Ancient Greek mentality and, thanks to Dionysus, spiced up with selective popular-culture references. The hook is pretty truthful... and the last two sentences express Apollonian and Dionysian thoughts. “Apollo make you follow when he holla bout the stigma” should be looked at as “Apollo will make you think differently about your biases or markings of discontent.” “Dionysus rhythm is an infinite enigma” speaks to the ever pervasive mystery of rhythm, music, and emotion.

One of the differences between Dionysus and E$ is that (although they both are obsessed with sex) Dionysus is not materialistic. Unlike E$, Dionysus does not look for flashy or covert signs of wealth because that is a hedonistic motivator attached to the relationship. If you think about it, judging whether a future spouse is applicable for marriage based solely on their socio-economic status is really a product of narcissism. What you should really be focused on is finding someone who makes you happy and share your life with (Dionysus).

The motorcycle I am sitting on in the picture will always be my baby. It's a 2004 850cc V-twin Suzuki Intruder that everyone mis-took for a Harley Sportster because the muffler was de-baffled. It sounded beautiful with a chromed-out engine block, an after-market Mustang seat, and high-way pegs my baby drives and shines like a dream! ... and I sold her so I could afford to finish the album. Some things should be worth more to you than any dollar amount.

One of the themes I like to put in my music is reference to Lady Gaga. I am a huge fan and I find her to be the biggest inspiration. I have often left “hate” out of my music just because she told me (through television interviews) I shouldn’t put negativity in my music. She is one of the reasons I made my message simply: Peace, Love, and Unity. I honestly find her to be such a beautiful person that when I think about hip-hop I think of Lady Gaga. I want to see hip-hop as a strong, independent, and talented woman because it makes me ask myself, “What would I say to hip-hop to impress something so powerful in stature and important to culture?” 

To me, like hip-hop, Gaga is a beautiful person. So, (naturally) I have a huge crush on her! This confession comes full circle in the last verse of Dionysus Rhythm. “Uh, Uh, Ah, Ah, I want Mai Tais; Baileys Vodka, Lady Ga Ga/Tah Tahs; Love yourself, that’s sexy as hell.” I know Lady Gaga enjoys her alcohol, so that’s why I ease into her after saying I want Mai Tais and Baileys Vodka. If you listen closely to the track, when I say "GaGa" it also sounds like "Tah Tahs." This is because (it sounds good and brings a more complex element to my music, but) it is suppose to be cute, like I am trying to hide I have a crush on this girl. “Love yourself” is basically Gaga’s message condensed into two words; and I find that (message) to be “sexy as hell.”
