The Making of Series (34th edition) "Still Laughin"

In 2003, Champain aka New Jack was released from Jacksonville County Jail. Grandfathered in to the S.O.A.z, he was known to Omega Redd and Va'Les through letters while incarcerated. He and Kwin kept in touch from day one, till his release. All 3 Common Ground Members made many trips to Virginia and other places as often as possible. The day that Tampa Bay played the Eagles in Lincoln Financial Field's first ever regular season game (L.J. Smith's debute game, he dropped the TD pass), these 3 guys (Kwin, REDD, & Va'Les) were headed to Florida to visit Pain (and most likely record & promote down there). JAX town bound, for some reason, Kwin & Redd were headed to pick up Va'Les in G-Town. That's right, Va'Les didn't decide he was going until late. Kwin took I-95 from Chester, then got off in South Philly on Broad and was heading for a LONG RIDE ON BROAD TO OLNEY.... A Long ride to JAX Town next (estimated 20 hours). Never made it past Broad &a

Music Meeting Results:

We did have the meeting and get the pictures, but everything didn't go according to plan. Omega Redd did like the idea of using the New song as a second Bonus Track and keeping "Reign Supreme" as Track # 22..... More on this meeting later on in the week so keep it locked...

The Post of the WEEKEND:

Okay, the last few days we had many posts in here. One of these posts talked about a BONUS TRACK and A MEETING (music meeting between REDD & KWIN) and a possible RECORDING SESSION at M.A.U. studios.... That studio session was said to have a 70% of happening. When that 70% was on Kwin's end, Omega Redd's availibility was 100%, after today, Reese at M.A.U. told REDD his computers are down so, he's gonna need about a week to straighten that out. Kwin & REDD talked today at around 5 pm...They decided to move the meeting up to tonight at 1 am... They are gonna meet in North Philly and ride thru the hood from Ontario & Aramingo to Chester, stopping on Delware ave, heading to Pattison, then to Island Ave, then towards S.W.P. and ending up in Chester... Kwin might not go all the way to Chester he might just stop in his hood (Yeadon)... The plans are to get some pictures for the internet and album art, and talk about the choices they are going to make for S.O.A., Common

The Making of Series (33rd edition) "Shake The System"

The song which will be April 2008 "S.O.A.z Flavor of the Month". Omega Redd & Kwin MD made the lyrics. Inspired by many polical talks of Va'Les, Kwin, & Omega Redd. Any Common Ground discussion of politics, Muslims, Religion, Masons, 1% ers, triangle people, 85ers....So on & so on. This is a Common Ground Concept. This was a B.I.P. creation beat made on ACID...Kwin MD used sounds that he Chopped & Screwed from samples in his studio tape player to slow up and speed up the samples and formatted it through the Roland 880 EX. Then mixed in ACID. Omega Redd came over to APG Studios and recorded this song and his verse & his part of the hook of "Personal Experiences", brainstormed the REMIX of "Shorty Let me be" and also layed some addlibs for a song he did with Sal Graci.... Kwin layed his lyrics for this song and recorded and mixed the other stuff too. Something that happened after the making of this song: Va'Les & Kwin were

March '08 Flavor of the month: Second Round Status

Yeah the Garageband Records Track of the Day yesterday (3-19-08) "I Am" has not been reviewed since Christmas Day, (12-25-01) of 2001....It was still in the first round that day. Until March of 2008, it was still in the first round. Now it was track of the day (selected by Garageband Records) yesterday and made it to the 2nd round with out a single review. Evolutions Artists sold this to iLIKE and the BBS was closed....So many things have happened since 2001. Allen Iverson was in the Finals & MVP verse the Lakers then, now, he lost to the sixers as a Dever Nugget yesterday. 6 years and some change later, no new reviews and all these status upgrades. Seems like the ranking system has been changed in the "Dog & Pony" show....Either that or, there been so much Garbadge uploaded to Garageband that the once #4 in Hip Hop song, is about to move up from #41 to back in that neighborhood of upper top 10 status....

Omega Redd's new Webpage:

Last post to tha hood/BBS on remote, was about the old website---www.omegaredd.comwhich is discontinued... We had an old review written by some one between 2003-2005... That day, a new page was built. That review was found when we did a search engine to find the old pages of Omega Redd's old site. We was gonna use some of that to build the new, but, the old didn't show up, only thing that came up in the search was that 4 star review... Wish we knew how to find the boy who wrote that review, wonder how he'd rate the new? We got everything but Video Casting on it now...Which is in the making...Just like how the "Yall done F'd Up Now" album is. Which was originally annouced to have 10 songs, just been upgraded to 12. The unofficial Song Order is: 1 No Remorse 2 Get Balboa 3 Ruffside 4 What If... 5 Come -n-get it 6 Freestyle 7 Forbidden Fruite 8 Freestyle 9 Inferno 10 I beg 2 Differ 11 Forgiveness 12 Still Laughin Other songs might be added, the official credits

"The old domian site:Omegaredd.com got 4 stars...."

Not sure when this review was made: Here's the review--- " http://www.omegaredd.com/ (****) Okay, now I'm jealous and pissed. This was supposed to be my online atlernate persona. Now I find that there's someone else who's using the same name as I!? Dammit! Oh well, I'll give this guy some credit, he's out making the name work for him. I just made up the name (or so I thought) and just use it. He's a musician, hip hop it looks like. He has an album circulating on the street titled "Y'all done Fucked up Now". And, thanks to this website, I now have a new nic-name for Paul: 'PL' for 'Paul Love'. Wait, that sounds kinda gay. Maybe I should just stick with Paul. From the best I can tell, this guy has his own domain, but all his stuff loads from geocities. Strange. " We've been search for a better hoster page builder then Geocities for years. FREE is FREE right? This guy clearly thought PL (Paul Love) was Omega Redd&#

"I Am" was selected by the voters of the last Poll to be March 2008 S.O.A.z Flavor of the Month. It did so well so quick it (was at one time ranked #4 in Rap) got into the second round. (Which we were anticipating) Garageband Records just selected this song to be Track of the Day on 3-19-08....

Today's Post

It's funny that Rick Ross came out after we made our song "Bosses" because in the hook we say "Big Original Bosses" We like Bruce Springstein, the Original Bosses. We don't say Boss on every song either. We don't have to convince ourselves of it. This picture is of a new album coming out on 4-8-08 Called "Yall done Fucked Up Now" by Omega Redd. It will be availible by download for $3.99 Oh yes, we did try very hard to have Damon Williams, Jenice Armstrong, or Jonathan Takiff write about today's release by Common Ground "Golden Land"... Jenice said she doesn't do music. She recommended Damon Williams (who we never got in touch with) but Mr. Takiff did get a copy of the album on Friday (Before it came out) and this was what we included in the envolope with the CD: Common Ground Bio- 3 Artists make up Common Ground. Omega Redd, Va'Les & McKoman Doni. All 3 artists had a solo career in music before forming a large

Today's Update

"Golden Land" has a better than 50-50 chance of getting into the Philadelphia Daily News. On Tuesday 3-11-08 Jonathan Takiff might have this album in his column (in the Yo section). (Details are in THA HOOD 360) There you can read today's post about why the album is now a Double Disc album. This whole Daily News thing is the reason that only one post was made this week. Talking to Jenice Armstrong, Jonathan Takiff, and making preparations to release this album by Common Ground on Tuesday took priority over the blogs here at: THA HOOD/Garageband BBS on REMOTE... There's still an outside chance that if Jonathan Takiff doesn't write about this that Damon Williams writes about it. That who Jenice suggested, she does write about music, she's always had great material in the Yo Section of the paper. She has the most interesting stuff in the paper that isn't sports related. She was also on Sports Talker 950 AM a few weeks ago. She's always looking for th

The Making of Series 31st Edition: "U-Turn"

This B.I.P. song appears on the "Golden Land" album. After recording "You Got me" with Luana Lewis, Va'Les & Kwin made this song. Va'Les made the beat on a drum machine that he had borrowed from M.A.U. from 2002-2004...His song is on the intro and Addlibs. The hook was made up on the spot by Va'Les. Each verse was a Freestyle. This song was mixed down at A.P.G. Studios.

FEB-'08 S.O.A.z Flave Update:

Last update here about this "S.O.A.z Flavor of the Month" was about the first 2 review it recieved (which were both fraud reviews because neither user actually listened to the song). So that said (in about 3 posts now), "Vietnam Nights" has just recieved it's first Legit Review: rawness this is for the lyricists and streets, vocals diverse and all strong, sampler is simple and sick though, lets the vocals be main focus. this is for a particular croud of hip hops heads that would love to hear this. rawness. serve it up! Reviewed by: jwillis1000 from Kelseyville, California The "Dog & Pony Show" continues, iLIKE & Garageband were notified about the 2 FRAUD reviews and still left them on the record of "Vietnam Nights"...But, if you read the post here on this blog aboutm Production (Production...Wutz Hood) it talks about two ages of Hip Hop (the Ice age 1997-Present and the Golden Age 1980-1997)....It is clear that jwillis1000 is a fan
