Dante Cope and Waylaa helped me out on this new version of an oldschool classic. I love this joint, beat is crazy.

The Rookie Sensation hails from Jackson, MI, the city just below the state capitol. First album on sale now, selling like pancakes at a fat-kid convention.
I've been doin' music since the summer of '03. My first track was "Sex Style", which was a joke. Not in the sense of me being funny (or trying) but in the sense that it was wack. I worked hard, jackin' beats from mp3.com (a while back) and spittin' on them with a mic I had bought a few months before. I was working in a crappy job, writin' rhymes all day. I was tryin' to do my thing for a while, then I started sellin' my music. I dropped a crappy mix of tracks on CDRs and sold them at school to start, just to get a buzz. That was retarded, 'cause I was sellin' music that sucked. Anyways, after that I started recording joints with a more professional approach. I switched up my topics, started gettin' a lil' more 'lady-freindly'. I dropped another CD with tracks made just for this project, I dubbed it "Verbal Confessions". Lookin' back I cringe 'cause the shit was so horrible. I can't even bump my old shit, I wanna puke just hearin' it. After that I recorded alot of tracks, just for no reason. After a few tracks, I recorded "Ready 2 Leave" and was puttin' it online to some website. A dude from acidplanet messaged me, asking to remix a track, so I gave him "Ready 2 Leave" and told him the BPMs. He gave me a beat and I flipped a track on that. After we had like two tracks, we were like "Damn, this sounds real good" and started talking 'bout doin' more stuff together. By the way, if you haven't figured it out, Fangaz is the producer. Iight, anyways, Fangaz had moved out of his crib and into a new house, so he was gone for a minute. I started fuckin' with beats I got from Mista Royce's website. And I recorded like 10 joints in Fangaz absence. I had 12 tracks ready to be burned and sold, and I was getting them ready and all mixed up one night, to burn them and start slangin' em, and Fangaz emailed me. I'm like, "What the f***.." and checked my email, thinkin' it was just a mistake. But I realized he was in his new crib, with a new internet provider and he was gonna get back to work on more songs. So basically I just started over, leaving all the tracks I recorded behind. The first song we recorded after he returned was "Go Hard" which was number 1 over at acidplanet for a while. With that track done, we did about 6 more joints for the album. I was working with beats I had made, and I had two dope bangers and I wanted to use them. So I took one of the tracks I recorded over a Mista Royce beat and put it over the beat I made. I put that on some sites for people to check it out, and I was checkin' for feedback when I saw that there were cats asking to remix the album. One of the cats was Dre40oz, a guy I had met at a concert a few months before hand. We talked for a minute, and eventually he remixed the track. I put the joint in the album, 'cause the original version was already on the radio, along with "Who Am ?". Dre asked to remix a few more joints, so I sent him "Counter Clockwise", a track about a dude I knew who's girl was cheatin'. Dre remixed that and sent me a beat to flip. So I flipped the track, and sent him the vocals. He liked it so much he got on the chorus and was singin' it with me. It was dope, real fun track to make. So Dre ended up producing 3 tracks for the album, along with my two joints. I was really proud of the tracks, I worked hard on them all. The album also had production from a dude I found on soundclick, named DJ chrono. I saw he was postin' at sixshot alot and I checked him out. He hit me with free beats and I recorded some nice tracks. I started with "Life Leads You" which was scrapped from the album. The second joint was "Why Beef?" which was a joint about cats who beef on wax and make threats but wouldn't come through on them. That joint got scrapped too. The third joint we did was "Do It All" and that joint was straight fire. I got that on the radio the day I recorded it, I loved it so much. Then I record "Good Cop, Bad Cop" which was an idea I got watchin' "Cops" on night. At the time I was struggling with writing a good song, and I thought the idea would be hard, but accomplishable. So I did it, and it turned out great. After I got them joints done, I was beggin' B. Lazey to get a spot on my album, and instead of sent me a beat. So I listened and immediatly recorded a track for my girl. The beat had Tony Braxton on the hook, and it was just fire. I loved that joint, one of the main joints on the album. After the album was finished, or so I thought, I made a beat I was feelin' alot. I wrote to just two bars I had looped and made the song the same day. That track also made the radio.
