First Rap Video on STEEMIT "INTRODUCE YOURSELF" Hugo The Poet

in #steemit • 6 years ago (edited)

Hey, Steemsters

Hugo The Poet here. I was delighted with the results of my text Steem-troduction post, and I couldn't wait to get stuck in and create some more blog/vlog type posts for you guys.

But I kind of felt I had to wait, and do a proper introduction to my art style for this platform, before beginning to hit you guys up with my albums/back catalogue of videos, and my random thoughts in text form.

So, I had some slivers of time - and stayed up waaaaay too late several nights on the trot - to make this song and video. It's a little rap about me as an artist, and the little that I know about Steem, Steemit, and what makes this social media platform different, and so freaking special.

I really hope you guys enjoy it!

Here's the YouTube link if you prefer (D.Tube seems slow to load... for anyone else?)

Now that this is out, I'm going to commit to regularly blogging and vlogging on this Steemit/D.Tube channel, re-releasing my existing content, as well as launching my future material here before everywhere else online (except Patreon - I'll still preview release it there first of all!)

Thanks so much for your very kind welcome so far. Looking forward to creating more content for you legends.

Much love and (imo the most crucial commodity in human existence)... PEACE!
Hugo The Poet

      To all you discovering Hugo for the first time, I'm proud to not only be a fan but a friend of Hugo. If you liked this, you have no idea what lies in store for you.
      If your soul craves intellectual stimulation in the form of rap, you won't be able to get enough of his back catalog. which you can buy here in a non-decentralized way at https://hugothepoet1.bandcamp.com/ I suggest starting with the Illusions mixtape and The Glorious Revolution which are unprecedented but don't miss his Science Friction, Unarmed Forces or Medici EPs.
      Let these games bring nutrition to your brains.
      And because no one else outed him as the formerly the star of Juice Rap News 2009-2015, which is another 35 brilliant performances of timeless current events as characters such as Robert Foster, Terrence Moonseed and General Baxter.
      Elevate this dude. We need him!

        Do your thing, Hugo! Respect.
        But don't copy & paste Jay-Z anymore, your content is better than that...
        So allow yourself to reintroduce the "reintroduce" lyrics ;)

        ha ha well, man, I pretty often put in references to other rap lyrics that I like - try and recontextualise whole songs, even. There's a Kanye one in this very song too. So I can't promise there won't be more JayZ... cos he's one of my all-time heroes! But, I appreciate the candour, and I hope you'll always hit me back with more critiques

        i scratch your lyrics one day... who knows ;)
        Have a blessed day
