I Dont Mess - Dimestop

Merci, mon ami.
I'm from the northeast of the UK, thats why my Vox will sound strange to you lol, we are closer to Scotland than London, although I live in the centre of the UK now, Birmingham, thanks for your comment and well wishes, appreciated bruv

Brado you are one of the real OGs you been around years and you will have seen many come and go, but i learnt from the older guys in our community like you , how to be a good member give feedback and advice where i can, and i also feel inspired to know that there are lots of artist here that are as crazy passionate about music and sharing it here with the family, your comment is inspiring and its great to see you back in featured my friend and hopefully lots of new work from you, thanks again for your time

thankyou for your stop bruv its nice to see you around and giving me a listen, hope your still enjoying your music, its always nice to see old faces too, thanks for your thoughts on my sciaitica, its still painful, but your right about using that pain to motivate and try deliver it with a feeling, I love that description playful masterpiece, it don't take long for somebody in our community puts a smile on my face, thanks mate, you did

hello bruv thanks for the stop and listen, i keep pushing, even through the pain I'm in at the minute, its great to see you back in featured too mate, another long time friend who i enjoy listening to

thanks for your time Alex, i appreciate your listen, I will check your work later when i have an hours listening, thanks again

lol, thanks for the listen and comment, it made me smile young 'un, that's what music is really about, havin' fun first and foremost, i like to see the young'uns come through too, as they learn and progress, then a few years down the line it's them passing their knowledge on to the new comers and your track was worthy of a comment, age doesn't really come into it, stick with it kid you got a bit of talent

thanks for the listen and comment my friend, yes I'm still in a lot of pain but music takes my mind off it, even if it is only a few minutes break, it seems to be getting worse not better, thanks for the nice words you wrote about me, i really appreciate your time, thanks again PaperKup

thanks for stopping thro Paul, yeah health at the min is not fun its extremely painful but it's also good to know it is just a trapped nerve no lasting damage as the hospital said i have no red flags the danger signs, and it should settle down in weeks, not months, fingers crossed, i'll keep going mate, I'm not letting this win, no chance :-) thanks for the props

thank you Mark as i told you on your track, you are a true champion here, your comments are rewarding, you also have an excellent ear too my friend, this is possibly the best production i achieved, the new kit is getting a good run out, i have to now keep this level up, my next is a done i need to master it, i recorded it earlier today, its a warm ballad about a special person, I want to develop dime further he has brought me so much joy and I can unburden my pain thro him, he is my outlet, i want to get to a level where i don't question myself tho, I don't question any off you and your music but i question myself every time, but I'm starting to think that possibly all question their own content, maybe lol,
your comments are important to me because you knew me when i only knew scraps of this music game, i keep chugging my friend

its an awful illness my friend and yes you do recover from it, once your herniated disc as settled back into place and then the snagging of the sciatic nerve no longer occurs, i have done a bag of research on it, 40 % of the population suffering from it, age 20 -50 is most common, i thought it was age related as its my first time at 60, it's not and America has a huge % of numbers, but big pharma make a killing from pain relief, so you get the least helpful aid at first, I move on to nerve block meds now then cortisone injections if it still persists, its a nightmare but at least i now know age has nothing to do with it, that boosted my confidence a bit lol

i've always made angry music or hurtful stuff, but I'm about to get very playful and so undime but of course I will return as the guy I created lol

i am so sorry to here that bro, such a young age too, and life has never ever been pain free, mine has been extremely testing pain wise, physical and emotional, but that makes who you become, i have no doubts when you become 30 you will have your own family and be strong for them and push through the pain you have, although your hands are so vital, lose the use of them would be just as painful as losing your sight, losing a leg you can hop around still lol, if you get my meaning, good luck with your health my friend and thankyou for listening and commenting I appreciate it, nerve blocker medication is my next try for a fix, i know exactly how you feel, constant pain brings you down, keep smiling young 'un, thats what we do tuff it out :-)

thanks Steven, you not wrong about writing it off, i felt great thought i was good went back to work monday, left the office 9.30 by 10.45 my back gave up, back on sick, i now have to hava a scan at hospital to see if i have damaged discs, its a nightmare and bloody painful, but i do like that achy braky back idea lol, food for thought and you made me smile, so thanks mate

cheers mate, yeah I love this place lots too and your bruv and Robin are two of my closest. i listened to Robin and Rita back when i just listened before i joined, then i have been pals with them since 6 years, Manu your bro and others joined us Cru and MT many others too until the update, we have just supported each others individual uniqueness, none of us are in competition with each other, we are family, you heard about us fom Aaron and now you see it for yourself and our group gets stronger with Dan Anthony Fanis etc we all have the same mentality about sharing music whilst being individual and everyone benefits then the listener the community and each artist too the music gets even better when they then go on to collab, what's not to like about that Jared

lovely words bro, thankyou so much, i will get round to it

thanks for the listen bro, i still got your track too, just not done anything with it yet as i been a bit ill, nothing serious, but i got to be in the frame of mind, this sciatica doesn't help,
age is just a number when its about music,
the music is paramount
if it makes people think or smile your winning, what more can you ask for really

thankyou for the listen and comment bro, its much appreciate thankyou for your time, I liked the finish on this

i agree with every word you write, Robin is a great guy, although we come from different countries we both come from strong industrial backgrounds like steel-making and ship-building parts of the country but we are just over an hrs drive apart in theory but the working man mentality is ground into you from birth. even if I were a multi millionaire i would still be working class grounded, i'd have what i needed and nothing more and wouldn't spend for spending sake either, well ok maybe a gold ingot with dimestop stamped into it lol, above my fireplace under a life-size oil commissioned portrait, he's such a big head ##### that dimestop one loool,

Rita, you commented on my very first piece, along with Cru Cyber Zoot and i think Mark too, Ian puesdo was first to ever leave a comment, and you have commented on every track since, i commented on your work and called you boom boom Rita, I commented on Bones and possibly Cru or Cyber as my first comments , i'd been watching for 8 month and i was ##### myself,
5+ years Mrs, i think your closer to 6, that's all and now look at us, just like the Fran's also who are older, talent is ageless just because we are older, doesn't mean we are any less ambitious as the young 'uns and still want to achieve things and I truly believe both me and you are proud of what we have achieved within our community and the friendships and bonds that formed simply because of our love for music, the 3 most important members of our community to me are you Manuela and Kayos in no particular order either your the only female live performers we have and you all keep the testosterone levels balanced and your all well loved and missed when your missing, you will always be one of my closest because we do have more in common than i think each of us Knew but learn't as our friendship grew, thanks for your constant support, it means lots to me

thanks Frans, your props are like cupids arrows and hit my heart everytime, i get good response from my Flat sound studio headset, you hear the sound as even as possible and the great low and and bass on my studio speakers allows me to get the best volume balance and vocal processing is always time consuming with equalization stereo separation and resonance and getting the right level with verb and delay, i use compression to take out all the low ends first only slight compression then i further compress it later on along the master chain, and to be fair, this track actually jumps out my speaker too, i see your fresh too so will be commenting in a while

thanks Richard your support has always warmed me, you are a lovely gentleman and are a pleasure to communicate with, on top of being a talented artist too, we all just want to share and build new friendships with kinsmen that have the same feelings as you when it comes to music, i am incredibly proud of this community and its artists because we are the people that have helped build it along with all our peers that walked before us, and the truth too, if i somehow ever got a break or hit, i would still be more active here because this is were i call home when it comes to music, i will always stand up for myself as that's just me, but i'm not here to argue with others all i want to do is share and be myself

that means so much to me my friend, i have invested good money in my set up, i always ask permission if i use anyone else's work loops samples even tho i don't need to i do anyway, i play keys and drums and i enjoy writing lyrics more than anything, i am aware there are far better musicians and producers than me on this platform and i joined to share and learn more, but finding i had a talent for writing poetic lyrics was i highlight for me and this community gave me a different mind set and it helped with some of the anxiety and memories i carry and as you say sampling is an art-form in itself, i done two covers of two movie soundtracks one was Breakin the movie, and other a huge dancer movie too, i was granted permission to upload to Youtube and soundcloud as i had altered them enough to get that permission, copyright is there for a reason to protect the original artist from theft of their work and as a hobbyist amateur i do everything in my power to make sure i aint breaking the rules, when you get a takedown these days you never get back on the algorithms are all against you and you have no chance of uploading anything anywhere, i also read long ago that labels and distributors also check if you have take downs associated to copyright and they won't touch you either, not that i will ever get contacted lol, I;m also personal friends with artists from the 70's and 80's that had hits and a number 1, and my friend you are an artist i want to work with its just finding some space at the moment i will reach out though soon

thanks Dan, your time is appreciated and yor comments too thankyou

lol, your a young kid i could never roast you, but i did get insulted by an adult here a long time ago, he was my friend too, but i roasted him, he's no longer around, here it is lyrics are my strong point https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/246406

thankyou for that young fella, you can see from the responses how the community feel, we are a family, we all want support and guidance, critical feedback is good not insults and accusations, you were right about the original source of the music but music is interpreted differently and that's why covers are done, I apologized to you when i realized you were 15 I'm an adult i should have shown more calm, so best foot forward put it behind us and just work with the community, i am the biggest supporter of our community so it is a safe place to share we have younger members and you are all our music tomorrows, you are the type of artist i try to protect like your father so you actually feel safe uploading your work as a younger artist here, can you imagine how you would feel if adults were saying your rubbish pack it up, you have a little about you, how do i know, because only somebody who is ignorant would not have apologized, and thats exactly why this matter is now closed, and we start again as associates now.

Steven i get an occasional hater, because I simply think they believe dimestop is real, the lad is only 15 so still wet behind the ears, dime he's the character i created and i wan't to develop him further, I am super proud of him and like you the people that know Paul know that dime is so far from the kind hearted community builder Paul is. i just use my own life as a template for my lyrics, you have all watched me grow into a community player and I protect this community with my life you all know how happy music makes me, and having a safe place to share their creations, I'm fine with critique but I'm not having anybody tell me what do, if I wasn't laughing so much about it I'd slaughter him for 3 minutes on a beat you know i have the vocabulary lol

its a late holiday weekend and i just checked in before i retire, he is only 15 Aaron he will learn like all new comers that us old heads know the rules, we also know how to monetize too, i tried to be as polite as possible but dimestop was in my head saying, why are you giving this kid your time just tell him to ##### off and come back when he has educated himself on how the industry actually works, i will be on your fresh soon enough bruv

look bro you are new to the community i have no issues with you like i said this beat has 230.000 listens on YouTube and i put my vocal on it, what is your issue, that i never mentioned the classical work it stems from, i don't have to, i used 2CEE's work and adjusted it myself, your comment and feedback is fine, i don't expect everybody to like me and if you had just left that comment without the garbage, my response would have been simple,
thanks for your time bro, i don't agree with the comment as it doesn't reflect what others are saying but i appreciate your time anyway, but you chose to be clever, stay of my work because your just adding to the hype its getting, concentrate on improving your listens and comments and stop worrying over mine. WE are all about building communities and not throwing rocks at them when you first arrive so ##### YOU
and i won't even bother giving you another reply, so dont bother wasting your time

thankyou Chris i tried to explain how the work came about and the permission i asked, its like here Chris, I have sang on over 75 songs from our community, lots of friends too, but i always ask them first, some people must think I'm pushing to be pro, I'm not, i do this for me and my mental health first and foremost if i ever get a reward, i will be truly grateful but that is not my goal that is being a good man a good father and an exceptional grandad. i know i am popular in our community i have helped build it this ismyescape must be the headteacher kind, intellegent but no common sense, if i feel I can give feedback on a track be it critical or not, I will say it, i would certainly never be narrow minded, he is no expert, although he may have thought he was, i have two friends away from LM too one had a No1 hit 1978 and they are both still pro today the other being a session drummer for 30 years, and our own Manuela, these are the people i learnt from. thanks for the comment and listen and your warm wishes for my recovery

Juan thanks for time and lovely comment, i love them words authentic urban poetry, i have wrote that down and it may well appear in a track i pen, poetry will be the word i work from and source my inspiration

authentic urban poetry
the ecstasy
expectancy
flowing free
quoting me
distance of my enemy
standing next to me

that's just coming from reading your comment
there is so many words that rhyme with the key word
thankyou good Sir,

my friend suffers migraines and needs to lie down in a dark room, i feel for you bruv
and of course Marijuana is a help I've used it for 40 years i bought my father some marijuana cream for his tight chest and cough, from the Netherlands when he was 70, it worked a treat he's 80 and still fit as fiddle he also stopped smoking 20 years ago at 60

bro this is my bro's beat from Germany, it's on sale and has 230.000 hits on youtube, i asked if I could use it non commercially, no issues, it will be on soundcloud too, just like other tracks I've added including the soundtracks to the biggest dance movies, i used their sound track, never ever had a takedown from any platform, and bro,
i make beats i play keys and drums, but i much prefer to rap/sing on friends work Im love sharing with talent.
Lastly, nobody tells me what to do or say and that includes you, I'll eat you alive and throw the scraps to my cage fighter son
learn what you can and can't do legally, i know,
i want feed back on the track not the industry, if you think the track is #####, that's fine, just have the balls to say it, i don't have almost 100, 000 listen in 5 years here if i didn't know what I was doing, Regards Dime

thanks Kay, i started with the word messing, the next word was sentence, thats where it all started them two words only, i then built it out. there are so many words that rhyme with sentence lol, thats how i usually work, i have a story wrote down then i pick the choice words and mould the line around the word i chose. and i used the pain i am suffering as the energy and drive for this track, my next track is built from One word only and it is the title 'Brightspark' lol, thanks for the time lady and please pass my regards to Oli

Fanis i am the type of person that can usually handle pain, I'm a northern we are a tuff bunch like the Scots, Cyber is probably made the same stuff as me he's from Aberdeen the UK and Europe's gas and oil capital lovely people but tough also and of course they provide the world with my favorite tipple scotch, thanks for your comment your English is fine my friend if you struggle for words just use your own language, i will translate it brother, thanks again for stopping off

Anthony that word is about right' unbearable is the perfect word, it is. the pain is constant and so uncomfortable, i struggle to walk and driving for 8 hrs a day is not the best position to be in, i am taking Opiod pain relief it leaves me feeling light headed and its against the law to drive under the influence of strong painkillers and carries the same sentence as drink drivingso i can;t work, but i am going in to speak to them this week as its not affecting me has it did at first now my body as gotten use to it, so not being at work leaves me thinking about the pain all day so hopefully getting back will keep my mind on other things, thanks for the stop and comment its always appreciated my friend this was delivered with anger and pain but i still had a smile on my face

thanks for stopping of Robin, i am glad i put something down this pain is a setback but i'm improving this was just showing how i've felt for 4weeks now angry lol

brother to receive a comment like that is beautiful for me to read, Paul was a confident young man even tho he took many painful hits, I have a dramatic back story, my closest here know about it, I am lucky to be alive also, and I hid it all for 40 years, its difficult to talk about, I have always been searching for a release since age 15 and that release was music and finding a community here at 54 was the icing on the cake, Im 60, so it was a long journey, and i put that strength, energy and courage into my music, it comes from within me its my heart and i draw off the inspiration I receive here and in all the positive feedback , i try to provide inspiration for others too, I play my part commenting, as you all provide me with so much
my lyrics are usually about my life in general, I am recovering slowly my friend, and your warm message will help that recovery and it speaks volumes about the person you are for thinking about me, there is beautiful people on this planet lots are @looperman lol

Squadd, thankyou so much for stopping off boyz, you know me well enough now to know i always bring real life, sciatica is a bummer and its kept me from music, ##### that, I'm not letting it beat me down, it took me years to find this much release from everyday life, music stimulates me more than ever and the friends I've made is incredible and rewarding for my mental health and my well-being, music is medicine to people like us, if we are down we turn to our comfort blanket music and keeping creative and we use that anger and pain to help create too :-)
