Jayne Mansfield

She was so incredibly sexy, and those hips were rediculous despite her flat ass. Its a shame we lost her so early but im glad her existence is so well documented. For anyone who doesnt know, she was one of the first to appear nude on camera in a major motion picture, she died at 34 in a car accident that left her cap peeled back... Sad, but oh well as is life. Anyway, she inspired me with her beauty and whorish sexuallity, and i think i feel a song coming on!!!

Black Hole

I apologize everybody, I just escaped the suction of a massive black hole and am now currently still recovering. For anyone wondering the website will be back up by 2012, so no worries. Da Priest didnt go anywhere

Im so punk

When i was younger its crazy cause i had such an open mind for all kinds of music, but as i became older, i began placing myself back into this strange box that limited my mind to who i was supposed to be.

Hip hop only, gangsta rap, political rap, ect... As long as it was black. However, nowadays with all commericial music being so... garbage... for lack of better description, i have been forced to take a look back to my youth and out of this a ressurgence of mass inspiration has occured.

Pennywise, Bad Religion, Operation Ivy, 7 Seconds, Offspring, Bad Brains, NOFX, Nirvana, Green Day, all these bands had messages that are so potent that they still hold weight 20 years older. People fail to realize that what is the heart or was the heart of hip hop is essentially that same young spirit that drove Punk all those years ago. The kids without the voice started screaming and since then havent shut up.

Go Punk yourself if you dont like it!

Why Do We Dream?

Ever wondered why we dream? Well with so many sick and twisted nightmare running through my mind, like my recent reoccurring end of world, disaster, alien invasion, and still being with my ex girlfriend dreams, i have become increasingly curious about the meaning behind this madness.

Well apparently our bodies evolved over time to protect us from our subconscious minds perceptions of impending danger. So you dream in order to prepare yourself from your inevitable demise... Depressed yet? Well dont be its not the end of the world...... yet.

Really Warner Music Group?

Is this some type of shot at Drake? I mean could he have got the Drake impression any more on point? It's almost like they are shamelessly flaunting how easy it is to follow a formula and create success no matter how lame the subject may be... This is laughable to say the least equipped with the go to robot chorus. Music is killing me ya'll, don't worry i'm coming soon.

1st The Address EP Review

Chris Barth former Rolling Stones contributor wrote up a promising review for my EP.

"Marco Antonio Restrepo, better known in the music world as A.Tone Da Priest, has a lot to say. His songs are packed to the brim with verses about life, pain, joy, and rap, and endless onslaught of wise words and well-crafted flows. Where some rappers are content to ride a hook throughout their tunes, only throwing together thoughtful lyrics as a last resort, A.Tone puts the words first, making sure to make the most of every second he spends on the microphone. His songs, like the production behind them, are dense and lush, with never a wasted moment or a lingering note."

Is It Really Important?

How important is content nowadays? Do people really wanna be informed when they listen to music or do they just want to feel good and forget.

Either viewpoint is plausible but i must say that when the non-content is so nonchalantly hedonistic and sinful, it is almost a double negative. I mean you listen to a hot beat just to feel good and let go, and end up with demons subconsciously lowering your inhibitions towards murder, crime, promiscuity, and spending money i return... I think content is important, especially when you are a big time public speaker like most of the rappers are with their stages.

What if MLK with his influence had talked about all the woman he fucked outside of his wife and how because of this and how he is the greatest orator ever yall should follow his lead, exuding the same confidence and charisma that he preached his actual agenda with...

Well ill tell you what woulda happened... Present Day woulda came alot sooner

Good Work

Sent out my lil pro packs to their respective recipients... Felt good

Young Buck Back At It

I dont know who heard it, but Buck got one... This joint go hard. Good to see him bouncing back after all the bullshit.

Not sure if it was soma coma i enduced upon myself last night, or my ever lingering case of manic depression, but when my eyes awoke it was already afternoon... I need to get back my day, this cant be healthy.

A new horizon, time to conquer more than i had been. The website is almost up, The Address EP is fresh and ready and my fans are hungry. Exactly where I imagined myself.
