<p>We just so happened to go on its busiest day of the year and ended up standing in line for one of its haunted houses for a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">very</span> long time.</p>
<p>While we were standing there under constant barrage by Halloween music I was suddenly inspired to try my hand at the genre. I spent the next day playing around with different instruments and tunes and ended up with the track below.</p>
<p>I highly suggest that you turn off the lights, turn up the speakers and find something to hold onto. Happy Hip Hopoween!</p>
<p>Let me know what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s good to know on this Memorial Day weekend that I&#8217;m not the only one fighting for freedom and justice for all peoplez. If it wasn&#8217;t for peeps like The Perceptionists, I would think I was fighting all alone.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/hsjEbpJcWtg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hsjEbpJcWtg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>Is it me or is that sick hook branded in your brain like hot metal on skin? (picking up on the sarcasm?) Speaking of sick hooks; the White Boy Rap was inspired by fellow soldiers like these who weren&#8217;t afraid to ask the tough questions. That and I&#8217;ve always liked songs that said &#8220;white boy.&#8221;</p>
<p>I ended up writing the music <em>after</em> the rhymes on this track. I  do that a lot of times when writing hip hop or rap. I just get a funny line or hook stuck in my head and next thing I know I&#8217;ve spent two hours writing lyrics down on a paper towel. I went through a couple of iterations (basically I recorded something for hours and then decided it was terrible and started all over) before busting out what ended up on the track. All in all it was a lot of fun to record.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think by commenting below and have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend.</p>
