Good Afternoon-Evening,
Peace and blessings, Mentalist here.
2009.....the year of the grind for me personally. putting together this ep titled Secluded Sounds & Scriptures. half instrumentals and half of it songs. 8 tracks.
also...potential poindexter mixtape coming sometime in 2009.
i got my mbox so i'm ready to record. just gotta put the foam up in my homemade booth.
anyway to get outside music for a second, i just wanna wish everyone a positive year filled with success, love, and happiness.
all i want this year for myself is success with my music. support from my family and friends and to get back into school.
of course i'm going to improve myself, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
we less then 12 hrs away from a new year, lets make the end of 2008 a great one.
peace and lata dayz,

let my heart leak for a moment...
Good Afternoon-Evening...
Some people say i'm sensitive, soft, need to man up.....in certain circumstances they're right.
i've delt with a lot of heartache this past year and i'm very sick of it. i know in most cases it's always my fault. i hurt a lot of people and i'm very sorry for that. i don't mean to hurt anyone. i want to save everyone, help everyone, try to be the best man i can.
i just get the perspective sometimes like what if i did join the army. would that lovely woman i dated over the summer had still be by my side? probably because i would have been more "manly"
these ladies don't understand the type of dude i am apparently. i don't know what women want nowadays...to be honest, i don't know what i want from a woman myself. sometimes, i get this imagination of flying into outerspace. away from problems, away from life, away from everything. all i need up there is food, oxygen, and my music and i'm good.
my life revolves around my music, family, friends and who give my heart to. i've come to realize that.
the situation that i'm in right now is pretty much shaky at this point. i did somethings to a person that i truly care about that i didn't mean to do...i hope she comes to realize and understand that. yea i still have alot to learn about her, yes i know i give too much at one point. but i'm making a promise to myself to change. to take things one step at a time and not to rush because i think i have a fear of time. time of course moves much quicker then me and i gotta learn to take it easy and not be in such a hurry. I also have to realize not to expect things to be all peaches and sunshine, because life is a bitch and i'm making her my wife...because i control my life.
-Beats Davis aka Mentalist
p.s. "E".....please forgive me and realize that i'll never do anyting to harm you,
<3, B

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME IN NEW JERSEY!!!!
to whom ever it may concern:
What up folks,
Just posting this blog to see what's up with everybody's holiday. your's truly has to work on xmas eve....it should be a pretty steady shift, with no major issues...at least that's what i'm hoping for.
i sample this x-mas melody my manz ace da producer sent to me via gmail. it'll be up on my myspace by tonight and i'll keep it up there until next week.
just to give my readers, fans, fam, and friends some updates.
Secluded Sounds and Scriptures is officially an Inspirmentalist Production. it is not a YIam project due to some minor issues with my duo-mate.
i got 95% of my xmas shopping done. now i gotta get my popz and cousin josh something....Giftcards.
um...I didn't have a wish lish for myself, i just brought shirts and kicks just as i pleased. but i know my lady is getting me a new pair of converses...(Mwahz, thank you E)
want to get this but in a smaller format so it'll be the mini with the one mic port
so if you wanna donate towards a starving producers cause...you can by sending a dollar to my paypal address of briano.davis@gmail.com
thank you,
peace and lata dayz,

another day, another thing to write in my blog.
shout outs to my home skillet, lisa greening...funny ass post you wrote about "jasmine" and the "spread eagle"
anywho, updates:
wrote a song to this beat i made about a month or so ago called the sky is falling...very real song, kinda depressing but the 3rd verse is meant to bring some uplifting. i'll give ya'll a sample.
1st:
The Rain will because there is pain involved
seems today problems we can't solved
because, there's many issues, drug misuse-murder
somebody get that kid's mother a tissue
because, she lost her son before he was 21
since some street punk had pulled a gun and
aimed it towards son's chest took his life
and he ain't never do wrong, he always did do right
just of a victim of today's society
suspect didn't think about this life of this casualty
didn't think about the consequence
didn't even think about a long ass sentence
seems he was always full of rage
the demons inside his heart started to engage
and pulled his soul towards the depths of hell
while the victim saw the light and started to accel- towards it
i wrote this song this past weekend. i'll put it on a mixtape and an album probably.
i still have yet to perform live honestly. i'm so ready but it seems when i am, something always gets in my way or something is cancelled. there's an open mic in newark but i gotta go to south jersey for thanksgiving...but i'll be eating leftovers!!! due to the fact i gotta work friday. i'll be eating @ my friends crib on thursday so it's all good.

Monday....worst day of the week.
Mondays.....argh..... we all hate them right?
it's the end of a lovely weekend and the beginning of a long week......
i can't complain though, at least i work 2nd shift at my day job and don't have to worry about waking up at the crack of dawn and enduring the morning cold. anywho, my weekend was pretty chill. i was going to perform a song i recorded with my sister from another mister, but i didn't have enough time to prepare and i was fully focused because i work a day job. i went to the talent show and watched a few good performances. it opened up with a poet who was speaking some real ish about how technology plays a big part in our world as far as communication is concerned. no one writes letters anymore. the next one was a beautiful woman who happen to be a dope ass violinist and a great producer. i wish i would have gotten her business card. after that another guy who spoke about the difference between like and love. if you like someone deeply, everything is good. once love hits, shits starts going down the drain. that's why i like women deeply, but love hip-hop music to death. after that, there was this rap duo that was ok, kinda reminded me of a new york version of slum village. now for the bad....w...t...f this one "rapper" was screaming into the mic over his chorus which said "imma air him out"...fail....there were a few other garbage mcs which i won't get into but they know who they are. the one before intermission was dope though, his name is F.A.M.E. he's from jersey city and he's pretty dope. google his name and jersey city, and you'll find his myspace. anywho,i know it'll all be good once me and my partner in rhyme legion hexx start recording our album. Secluded Sounds & Scriptures.....and we putting it out for free so if anyone is reading this, be on the look out for it. Feb. 2009. It's YIam's year baby!

A day in the life of Inspirmentalist....
mon thru fri.....3 to 11 day job....day job? Helpdesk Technician....Easy as pie...
after the day job mon and wed...blogtv web show....mood muzik monday and wayback wednesday
weekends....beats...sleep....food...parties...videogames...beats.....bars......blogtv......trips to other cities.....reading....beats....cleaning room and bathroom...pc repair...mixing songs for dance team and making flyers....beats.....
lol i do make beats during the week too but i get more time on the weekend.
"Oh why aren't you sign already?"
because the industry wants to rape me and take control of my soul and i refuse to sell my soul for a dollar.
"Your beats are hot and you give them away?"
only to those i know very well and trust, i don't sell them because most of them contain samples and i don't wanna risk getting sued
"You got some hot beats we should collab"
*listening to that persons music* um....maybe some other time.

It's the weekend ya'll!!!!
Hmmmmmm....
i would have loved to spend time with that special lady.....
but it seems we back at square one.
hold her, caress her, have some fun.
look into her eyes and try not to stare.
now i'm feeling blue, because she's not there.
either way, imma have some fun today
play videogames, maybe a track today.
it would have been fun to go out on a date
but it seems that, that wasn't part of my fate.
but imma keep my head up a smile like the sun
even though me and her are back to square one
she only loves me for me, is not in love
she's really an angel from the heavens above
what would it take to make her mine?
i guess i just gotta stick to my grind...
even though there's a lot of stress on my mind.
i know one day, her lips will touch mine.
the end lol just thought i get a lil poetic because i'm feeling some type of way.
peace, love, and hairgrease (one of her favorite quotes)

What's up ya'll. it is official 8:37 pm i'm in the middle of "Working" right now. yea i got a 3 to 11 to you know, pay my bills, buy my food, put gas in my car, and fund my music. Yes Yes i know i'm a pretty good beat maker but i can't just live off the beats yet. well anywho, i got a job as a desktop support technician. basically all i gotta do is just wait for a problem to emerge and go fix it. easy right? hell yes.(time to clean the pc stations) 9:17pm: well it's only like my 4th week here so i know they'll probably have some work for me soon. but whenever i'm not handling a situation, i basically just kick and relax and just wait for the calls to come in. yes i wish my bosses would give me a little bit more work but eh it's cool because the company is pretty cool.
just dropping a line ya'll.
peace,
