MindState
You appear to be backstage, you look over to this a concert pack with people. You interact with your left hand to be holding a mic. You hear people getting ready for you to come out on stage, you take a deep breath and then exhale . Looking around you see a poster for the Los Vegas Rocks Festival moments before your set. It’s 2013 and kidd just released his first mixtape, as you try to calm your nerves you hear the beginning to the mindstate. You look behind and see kidd smiling in all black as he looks at you saying the spoken intro as he looks you up and down. Things tend to slow down around you as you see him rapping to you and giving you a lecture and when the song is over you have someone working the festival come over and looks at you “Hey, get ready for you cue.”
Blackout
You hear the DJ pumping up the crowd. It’s starts off small but gets louder and louder before you run onto the stage “Vegas, are you feeling good tonight? I don’t hear you are you ready to have a good tonight? Coming to stage right now, one of the youngest new rappers, be on the lookout for his debut mixtape Listen and be Amazed. Kidd Amaze!” As you run out the lights get bright and now you are on the tour bus for your first tour Keep Calm and Be Amazed Tour the first stop house of blues in San Diego. You are outside in the back of the building with your jacket on. It’s December, last week was your birthday but right now you just trying to get back into your zone, blinking your eyes you see Kidd again in all black smirking as Blackout starts playing.
“Are you ready on set?” the bouncer says as MOV is almost done with his set. You look back and see Kidd with his head down going into the building before rain starts to fall. You watch the door close and you look around to hear a voice “Out of body again aren’t you? Well don’t let him take it for a joy ride then? Go and get it.” You look around but don’t see anyone. The back door swings open and with a push you go into the building.
What’s My Name
Arc 1 complete
As you rush inside you see the place is now empty. Confused you look around and see Kidd on the empty stage. “This was fun, I remember it like it was yesterday. You don’t remember? You want this body back? How bout we play a game for it? You played games like this all you have to do is have the other say the others name,” As he says this What’s My Name starts playing. In what seems like a video game You look to get to Kidd and when you finally reach him he just smiles. The song ends and you hear a crash. You look up for a split second and then when you look down no one is around.
“You win this round, but I’ll always be around. You know you can’t do this music thing without me.”
Do you always listen to Music?
Standing on a beach with sun shining and people all over you see Kidd and an interviewer asking him the question “Do you always listen to music?” Kidd gave his answer but the voice again spoke to you saying “No, in fact people told that I shouldn’t do music. I was a small shy kid, doing music means you have to be outgoing and a good speaker, and have qualities that I didn’t have. Everyone is happy to make it, but how may hopeful singer/songwriter you see that never get through that door. Impostor syndrome is a real thing for me. I felt like I wasn’t deserving what was going on. Listening to others gave me that chip like I had to constantly show I can do this, I can do this.’ like a self chant, but I didn’t like listening to my own music. I felt that it wasn’t good enough.”
There were times when I thought that I should just stop, but I just kept coming back to it. That was my outlet, it was something that I always did and with that you try to get over it? It just had this constant pull that I couldn’t get away from.
Don’t Let Me Go
You see kidd going into a studio alone by himself, as Don’t Let Me Go starts playing. You see kidd with headphones on and have a notepad with a pen in his hand. You will see him write then scratch it out. Write then cross it out. Write then flip the page over. You look around and see plates of food stacking up, paper balls building up on the floor, other then that it seems like time is not moving. You see him go to sleep on the couch and then someone comes in puts a cover over him and then walks out. You see this girl voice near you “He never gave up on me did he?”
Show Off
With Don’t let me go finished, you see a tired kidd falling to sleep, when he gets up he the beat to show off and he starts bobbing his head to the beat. You notice a small person next to him, covered in light it hard to make out details of them but it could be a child, but they are there behind Kidd as he starts rapping to show off. “He always liked doing the music first before writing,” the girl’s voice from last time. “I hope he doesn’t leave like the rest of them,”
She turns around so you looking at here and she changes herself so you can see her, and she takes the form of an old anime character aura from dothack sign “Follow me,”
Grown Up
Arc 2 Complete
You walk through a door and you see that is a family getting ready for thanksgiving and you see a little TJ all dressed up with his family members. While his cousins are out playing he goes into the back room and with the record player and as he turns it on Grown Up starts as he starts dancing in front of the mirror with a pretend mic in his hand. He then leaves to go and get something to eat but when you leave the room to follow him the house is now empty, void of life and has been boarded up.
“This neighborhood isn’t what it use to be. People move on and forget about us, I hope he doesn’t but I’m sure he will. They all do, life just seems to have a pull doesn’t it.” the roof suddenly rips open and pulls you out of the house. As you’re lifted up you see a lot of old condemn homes.”
To Be the Best you need to sacrifice
You come too after being thrown by strong winds you see that you are in a parking lot of a long big building. You walk in to see this big bouncer that looks you up and down before letting you inside. When you walk in you go down some stairs and then you see it a rap battle going on in URL, Back in these days TJ wasn’t Kidd Amaze, he was TJ, still trying to be a rapper. Trying to figure out his way. It hasn’t been long since he left home to work on this full time, he has worked temp job to make ends meat before. Nights where he just needed money to put gas in the car and that was all he could do. Carrying a travel size case to freshen up. Stay in dirty motels, or even public restroom to change clothes. It was a grind but it needed to happen. He couldn’t go back, he was not going to go back empty handed. This was going to work, even if it killed him.
Dial Tone
You look to see kidd in a hotel, with papers everywhere balled up. Blinds closed and just in a dark room with a lamp and a tv the only light in the room. We don’t know how many days has passed. But we do see a red alarm clock on the dresser with lamp and in a time lapse we see kidd come in go to sleep gets up, showers, writes, for hours until he falls asleep and repeats the pattern. Once you see the clock the song Dial Tone begins to play into the end where he gets a phone call and you hear this over the phone.
“Hey man, when are you coming home? Man, fuck I don’t know how to tell you this man, but grandma, she passed away. It will mean a lot if you came back for us.”
Without Me
Are 3 Completed
“We just go a report that a shooting just took place at 7-11 right here on main street. The fellow was a young afican american who was rush to George Washington Hospital and is in critical condition. We will give you an update when it comes in. Jim back to you in the studio.” You hear this on the tv as you look and see someone being rushed on a stretcher to the E.R. as without me begins to play. You watch as the person dies on the table and you see the surgeon comes out and tells the family that he didn’t make it, causing his family to cry.
“I know you’re busy but you couldn’t come to the funeral? You really hate us that much?! Whatever, have a nice life.”
My World
“It wasn’t long, I knew about you even when I knew you didn’t know my name. We didn’t have the same background or the same life, if I would have pick anything else we would have never met. I still think that you have thing over so it not going to work. I through myself into work to ease that fear. I did things in hope that you would think of me when I was away. That I could if not reside in your heart that I could occupy a spot in your mind.”
A woman with blue eyes appears with a smile, “You, built you’re world, not around me? But the music you claim to love, you don’t really love us. I can prove it,”
The World To Me
You are placed in another hotel room but this is the Dirty Bastard Hotel and Casino. You see Kidd and Airemese in the crowd. They take an elevator and you get onto one but as you go to push the button the elevator doors closes and the lights turn red. The World to me starts playing as water comes from the top of the elevator rushing in. By the times it reaches near the ceiling the song is almost over and you see the women again with her blue eyes looking at you. You can hear her as she says “How can you love something or someone when you don’t even love you? You are just going through the motions, huh. Lets go deep then.” She pushes you into the water as you sink past the floor of the elevator.
Waiting to Die
Are 4 Completed
This sinking feeling continues towards the song waiting to die. As you sink the light from the surface fades away. It also becomes harder to move and look around as if you being compressed by the water pressure. Once everything goes dark you hear the spoken words in the last part of the song I worry about you, you keep this going and all you doing is hurting yourself. You need to understand that you may be the main character of your story; but you play a role in other people's lives as well. Don't neglect the platform that you have as a leader and as I person of influence.
I Am
“Hey, what are we going to do with him?” You hear someone say, “The ride isn’t over yet. You have to see this to the end.” Light start to come in and you see Kidd in the black clothes again. In this white empty room “The mind if a powerful thing, it doesn’t really know the difference between reality and imagination. That’s why lucid dreams are so weird, you realize that this isn’t real but it feels and seems real. The brain doesn’t have senses but it somehow collects everything and somehow puts all of those senses together to make up what happening.” He has given a lot, now it is your turn to give back? Can you handle that?
Pep Talk
The Kidd in back steps to the side and reveals a door that was behind him. When you open the door it is dark again, but this time there is a light shining on this kidd in white clothes. Pep talk comes on as he starts screaming. The songs plays as he becomes more and more frantic waving his arms and punching air. You see other Kidd’s coming out and talking to somehow lessen his worry but he keeps going down this depression track. As he leaves the others look at you. “Your pretty late, he is in bad shape but I think he will listen to you. Hurry up and go.”
Regret
As you run through you see images of cruel acts done between one person to another. As regret starts playing, you keep going through this tunnel with graphic things happen to one another. You can hear someone say “Why does good things happen to bad people? Why does bad things happen to good people? Why do you hurt me, but say you love me? Why do you keep telling me next time will be better? Why do I keep falling for it? Why can’t you see I’m in pain? Why don’t you help me?”
As the song ends you are taking to this giant tree and a little boy at the base of the tree.
Dreams
You approach the little boy who is sitting at the based of the tree but large root come from under the ground to get in your way as Dreams begins to play. You fight your way through the roots and you finally get to the child. “Don’t give up, you aren’t alone in this. We are in this together.” Thousands of people in light shine in the dark room. Is fill with light.
