cheers Slimm, i appreciate you reviewing my tracks, ive had some good work recently and got some good bars to come too, i seen you got fresh up i was hoping you would soon as i seen your mail i checked first :)) i'll be on it in a bit, thanks for the visit bro

wanting to know how you are perceived by others is not vanity Manuela, you hope that people see you as you see yourself of course but if you dont know how others see you you cant change if you dont know what the issue is. and you dont have to change either, they could be wrong.
i dont think i have found my true musical identity yet, hence why i enjoy swapping genres, i think your pic of me is, he's vibrant, he's confident , he speaks his mind, (i dance in the street for gods sake, i dont care who's watching) :)) yes they are traits that i was born with but Paul is not that confident its a show, the people who get to know me find a kind and caring man, i think some here see me as big headed obnoxious, im not that bloke, but nobody remembers nice guys, im an artist in a room full of flamboyancy, you seen my peacock on show, thats dimestop Paul is a very different person, i once was dimestop and this place lets me be that young man again.
and yes i think there should be a private chat function, its a good idea. i also think the forum should be brought back too, just structured better, threads that have no footfall deleted no im looking for this, collabs happen because you like a certain beatmaker or vocalist you will find your other half by joining in, instead of thinking you got it already.
we are so different me and you in terms of age our tastes, our likes and dislikes but remarkable we have a few common traits too.
the most common being we are chatterboxes :)))

and we both admit it too, why do you think i choose you, i see a 30ish Paul in you just in the female form. keep being you Manu.

thanks Michael, it was a little close to the bone and a first for me being unsure, i usually dont mind being controversial but somethings need handling with what us English call kid gloves meaning delicately so thanks for your comment and its real good to have you back around too my friend

i have nothing to hide from anyone Manu, when i listen to an artist if i like i always check their profile, then if i build a closer friendship like our regulars i watch any links they may share insta etc i seen your album covers i checked your insta, you look like a regular young lady who looks professional and yes i dare say, your an attractive young lady too, not that its has anything to do with you being a great artist but i hope that makes you feel happy, your profile pic is really nice and think it portrays a professional artist, you also look like your proud of what you do, you carry yourself well look well groomed and because i know you better i know your resolute defend your beliefs and your own style, and your family are your life. so my round up is favourable Manu and im happy that you give me your time, your always truthful too, thats what i look for most in friends. yes you also look firey too :)) but i know that already, one thing im unsure of, your husband, does he do music himself or a regular type job?
i hope ive read you right, but one thing im sure about is i like sharing with you have a great end to your weekend.

thanks so much Zoso, i really appreciate your comments as i do your work we got a good community which makes it good bro

thanks Manu i think if there is any concerns im adult and will answer, i believe racism is socially unacceptable and i state it the way i tell my story. most here i communicate with dont agree with me on everything which is fine, its natural, but i dont think people can consider this anyway disrespectful, yes its pushing boundaries but i think for the right reasons. i would hope most here feel the same way, racism stinks.
and as for my insta since you lot grabbed my attention and gave me another avenue to express myself i dont upload anything other than music now and hardly bother with insta or facebook.
i also do my background work too, ive checked you out and a number of others too, it gives me a better understanding of the person i communicate text doesnt paint a picture, were as pics words and delivery do :))

hi Manuela, yeah i was worried a little bit of how this might come across, i have a lot of friends some happen to be black some happen to be Asian and some are white like me, racism is a scourge on any society, i have wanted to do a track about it for a long time, these lyrics were wrote 3-4 months ago and i tried playing piano, strings etc but couldn't get the sound i wanted, i heard our German colleagues track and i felt it was the fit i was searching for although i had to work it a bit. i played it to my friends first and they said it was good and would create a talking point i never hide the fact that we the English contributed to it, i recently watched a documentary about Oriana in South Africa it was awful and just wrong and that's not me hating on SA i have no problems with them i just dont agree with exclusion on the basis of colour and i have spoken to my friends many times on how hypocritical they can be using the N word as a term of endearment towards friends, its not friendly its not big its racism all the same

Hi Matthias, thanks for the high score, its a touchy subject, i wasn't to sure at first but i think i handled it well. back to rapping for a bit now :))

thanks Aaron, ive had a mad staging while you was away, dropping different genres every few days, just trying new ideas and learning more on sound structure, gots some fire bars coming bro, thanks for the stop

thanks Robin, its a touchy subject most would avoid, but i think i done a decent job with it

i only ever do it for me bro, first and foremost.
but as artist we are inspired by our colleagues too. i have delved into so many areas and met so many good friends because of the people here.
for me it was fun, but i was having fun anyway, so i joined to learn and collaborate with like minded people just like you Rita Manu Zoot Cru etc even playing a small part is better than playing no part,
like 90% here my biggest audience is me and the mirror and my message about sharing and building a community has never changed it wont waver either. looperman is a great platform, it was born and is based in my City Birmingham UK, i will always promote local enterprise too, their our people. it just needs stimulating a bit, we've spoke about this before
but rest assured bro, i do it for ME its a great way to express one's self and ive got some great bars to come

thanks Wayne, yeah i keep pushing, i think i handled the subject matter with responsibility though.
nice to have you back around, its a bit of a graveyard at the moment tho

thanks Alex, whenever this subject is debated, its always with hate and spite. i think i handled it correctly without using expletive's or shouting, some people will never learn though, and yeah it had good structure with historical value and the correct message

cheers bro yeah i had a bit of a run lately, just wrote quite a bit. the motivation is there but this place is becoming a bit of a graveyard with very few taking part, so at times it feels like a lost cause
