The Of J.Gill (My Soul Searching)

I been angry, depressed, and just plain bitter for a while now and here's why.....



DISCLAIMER: *This blog is not pointing the blame on the industry or the certain people. Everything I went through was on ME! I know I could have handled this situation better, but Im only human so dont judge me*


I can keep it real with ya'll right?!? I've been going on this CRAZY soul searching journey for the past 3 months. Been thinking about getting out of music biz n studying to become an elementary teacher... YES! That's how deep it was Gosh By Gollyers. I started to HATE music entirely and I couldnt see myself being in this crazy biz dealing with all this madness when Im 30 n want kids n stuff. My love turned into hate because I felt like the biz had turned its back on me. It was like a very bad break up. I wont get into details, but a lot of companies and a few people I worked with began 2 give me the cold shoulder. I adore music it's my 1st love, but the business side can get ugly. Its a lot of shaddy ppl that want to shake your hand when your at the top and ignore your calls when your at the bottom and that's not me as a person. I didnt wanna transform into that jerk exec. On top of that its very hard to have a life outside of the music biz especially when you're on the come up cause "There's always somebody in life trynna take your spot". I just realized all this madness is what made me fall out of love with music. It was bad to the point where I wouldnt watch MTV Jams or anything. I used to google new music everyday. Da last time I looked up new music on a daily basis was in September. Im telling yall I'm going through it! In while all this was going down I was going through a bad break up and I was stressed about my finances n school. But in this crazy journey I got 2 rock out in the studio with my homies B.Hines C. Hines n Ant. They just gave me sooo much love and reminded me that there are good ppl in this industry. Da fellas r also proof that you dont have to become an asshole to have success. Those fellas prolly dont know it but that night is something I'll always appreciate. So with that I started blogging again, but then school kicked my butt n I had 2 chill but fast fwd to NOW...

I love music again, but the corporate side still rubs me the wrong way. I've become very family oriented, I realize when I dont have any1 else I will always have those knuckle heads and when no1 else can put a smile on my face they can. I think Im going to still change my major to education n keep a minor in communication next yr. I want to look into working with audio engineers. Vibe in the studio feels so much more relaxing than in da craziness of working in PR for entertainment....& now you guys know the whole truth n nothing but the truth lol.


I love you all for supporting my blog. I appreciate each n every 1 of u so so so so sooooo much!!! Big Ups 2 all my amigos trynna find there way while chasing their dreams. Feels good to get this off my chest the last day of '09 WHOOP WHOOP!

Would You Like A Sample (Rick Ross - All U Need)



In my opinion, this sample is interesting because I can sorta kinda hear Evelyn Champagne, but then it fades out. You can def pick up on it when The Dream starts singing though.



o0o No They Didn't (Yahoo Music)

Umm Yahoo Wat The Funk?!? How u gonna have Ray J as ur headline pic for R&B... When's da last time you brought a Ray-J album. Here's my answer NEVER (But I do bang w/ his singles though) Ya'll couldn't get a pic Mary J. or John Legend... hell mayb even Trey Songz or how's about his way more famous sister named Brandy. SMH.

Gosh By Gollyers

Unexpected Earworm (Tie Me Down)

I have twin lil brothers dat r 16 and they are all about this corny ish... These mofo's got me singing dis ish by those Jerk Boys ft. Brandy's Brother. Lol lemme stop I do like dis joint, but I think its from my lil bro constantly playing teenie bop hip hop n it just grew on me... IDK if dats a good thing or a bad thing.

o0o No They Didn't (Billboard Charts)

Some times the billboard charts make me mad. They have a rap chart and a r&b/ hip-hop chart... ummm y?!?! Give R&B its own damn chart. Here's a prime example of wat the funk Im talking bout...














Since when da funk was "Empire State of Mind" a R&B song... just cuz Alicia on there doesn't make it R&B... and OMG dont get me started on dat Birdman song. Who da funk makes dis stuff up?!?
