crop over nonsense song

next year, my soca tune is de nonsense song
lil sain to mek de girls wine up and guh down
jus sporty enough to win pun Spring Garden
i gine outdo de one Contone and de one name Pong
Lil Rick and Ram aint na competiton
people at radio stations wuh get frighten
two verses and a catchy chorus repeated from now till kingdom come
pon a beat with a fast-paced drum pattun'
wid maximum percussion
nothing moral, mostly dumb
proper arrangement = none
smart lyrics to make de drunks clown around
sneak in some sexual innuendo fah fun
might be bout a lil hump in de sun
or lift up ya leg and drink sum rum
let loose; spin ya bum bum bum
the respected cuh get indecent
grinding up wid a random person
wuk up pon a boxy, then guh lon'
girls wuh get juck up, some might get juck down
on kadooment day, i got de keys ta bridgetown
de cavalcades gine like um
highty tighties might frown
i wuh mek sure it get upload ta bajantube. com
no.1 pon dem countdown
so look fa me getting interveiw on HOTT, 98 or Slam 101
cos next year is time for MY nonsense song

Wukuptologist in training cropover t shirt concept

Came up with this idea after a certain miss Headley, brought to my attention the concept of wukuptology.
Seeing that I only have 1GB Ram and the only Adobe product on my system is Lightroom, for this project I've had to use MSPaint + mt.Paint believe it or not.

here begins the 'wukuptologist in training' cropover design tee walk-through

First, I had to come up with a witty phrase;
'wukuptologist in training, female wukup-ers, bring your bumpers for analysis and sample taking' seemed legit.

Following, a rough sample of the placement of letters
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Then to find a suitable image that portrays wukuptology.. there were 3 pictures in the running;
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This one from my cousin's website made the cut, for it shows the determination of the lady 'pooching back' with hands on the knees for maximum grinding and the skilled wukuptologist with a drink in one hand steadying said wukup-er with a hand on the shoulder..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Phase out the background painstakingly and leave the subject..
Try different image colour transformation till a suitable one is found..




and voila! easy sailing from there on..

The finished product!

HAPPY CROPOVER 2010!
Now, I've got to seek out my old t-shirt printing agency to see if I can make this a physical reality..

btw the wukuptologist anthem for 2010 is lil rick's 'guh down' on the Monstahpiece produced condem riddim.. 2ndly is the indrani, fyah wata tune on the King Bubba/Kubuyashi platter studio riddim 'hunny bunny'!!

the standby [poem of sorts]

the standby

equal fairytale affections
shared us, it seemed
for a bit, everything was beyond infatuation
yeh stuff was great; the perfect dream

amazing and awesome, brilliant really
one side of me questioned, is this an illusion?
but my conscience said, you're in love... actually
that lovely thought settled any confusion
tis' a good feeling to have when shared mutually
but
was it to be?

admittedly, there was a lingering indecisiveness
she let it show, or perhaps it creeped out
whenever our togetherness was not at it's best
forgotten devotion and stirred up emotions
or maybe it was me, who was still in doubt

the guy before, boy he knew just how to play
he had cards I didn't know existed
threw them on the table, made me and my so-called love seem frail
situation became twisted,
from a full 100 to 10% interested

cherishing his game, she left me for dead
it came across hurtful that way... in my head
begin the stage of salvage... something said
but

instead
indifferent grew I
for now I saw how I was mislead
my heart had become hers;
she'd gotten too close
she did'nt quite return what I'd felt
I vowed never to let this happen again

to be the standby while she and her ex were on the mend
