“In the mall til 12, when my schedule had said 9, putting them pants on shelves, waiting patiently I asked myself…”
When I first heard “Spaceship” as a 21 year old senior at Indiana University (go Hoosiers), it really gave me chills. I remember walking thru campus with my discman blaring, snow on the ground, and thinking, ‘man, Kanye beat me to it.’ It’s not as though I was gonna make an album or anything like that, but the whole vibe, hit me in a certain way and expressed a lot of what I was feeling at that time. Along with school, I worked retail to pay my way, and when the first lines of “Spaceship” hit, “if my manager insults me again, I will be assaulting him…” yea, that really hit home…Anyway, I say all that to say that since that time I’ve been able to meet GLC, and he’s become a mentor to me in music, in life, and of course in pimpin’, haha…Anyway, he unleased the full video for “Spaceship” last night, I was watching the Sox get it handed to them at U.S. Cell so I couldn’t post right away, but you can see the full video below.
“First off, I’d just like to thank everyone for believing! There’s a lot of people saying where we could of been if this was released in 04. I no longer wanna deprive the people of their rights! You have the right to embrace my concept as well as those of Kanye, Consequence & Tony Williams as we gave you are all! This is a story of triumph over the ills of society & the workforce interfering with your pimpin’ & in this time of a recession this record may be more relevant now than it was in 2004! Thank for letting me grow with you! Love, Life & Loyalty coming soon! Hello World! Oh yeah my player is fixed too sorry about the prior non pimpish auto-play!”
