This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Damion The Demon Seed - Dear Momma.
Dear Momma was a track Damion The Demon Seed wrote for his mother Brenda Doxie. He tells her for all the drama he’s surely caused. Damion Brown wants to tell his mother he loves her but he doesn’t know how. Dear Momma is surely a heartfelt track. Damion shows us that he’s learned his lessons from the trials and tribulations of his life through trial and error. He knows he’s smart but he doesn’t apply himself in school.
He roams the streets every night and tries to fake it as he were living his life right. His mother worries about him every night wondering when he will come home or not. She thinks about him every night. He always told her he would change. But years later he's out doing the same thang. He is smart but his grades in school reflect so otherwise. (His grades are poor.)
Damion wanted to impress her by making it on his own, but fast money doesn't last too long. The fast money in the streets is tempting him to earn a living illegally otherwise. His grades are poor so he can't get a job. Being a young black male makes things twice as hard. He reconciled his difficulties with his mother at the end of the song.
Skanless Family Outro (Insanity Is What I Plead) is a 9 minute Skanless Family posse cut with Damion The Demon Seed, Dirty Jerk, Bone Skanless, and Mack Tha Jacka. The background music is heavily distorted and the dark mood is present. The electronically processed beats are fast paced. Most of the tracks sound quality is distorted, however being that it was recorded in 1993. It's 2 freestyles in 1 track.
Damion The Demon Seed and Dirty Jerk are first off to bat. Smell the smoke from the hell Damion brings to you. It chokes the angels with the harps as they sing to you. Damion just makes matters worse even thought this is the beginning.
What’s on your mind? Dirty Jerk replies “Murders in big numbers.” meaning that Dirty Jerk will put you six feet under the ground. Dirty Jerk digs deep inside his soul and tries to find himself. He thinks how deadly his mind can be. He’s the type of person to cut your fingers off, lace them cocaine, and smoke them. His father said he was a mistake so now he wants to choke him. An erection led him to be confused for no reason. He can’t see reality as he is blinded off it. Dirty Jerk can’t find reality. Don’t make him blow up because Dirty Jerk is deadly as a bomb see. It ain’t shit unless you involved. It makes his day to commit a murder. The bodies buried in the backyard before they start to smell. Before they catch death, it will be a cold day in hell.
In comes the disheartening distorted chorus chanting “Damion The Demon Seed” repetitively. Damion joined the Skanless Family because his father didn't like him. He made his shrink go crazy too. Insanity is what he pleads for reason in doing so. Damion is on a level that you can’t relate. If you want to step to him choose your fate. Damion has problems he can’t solve by using medicine. The devil is still inside of Damion and is killing him but hesitant.
Damion heard a voice in his bedroom telling him he’d be dead soon. Fuck ‘em all. Damion ain’t scared. The night falls dark and gloomy. He done went insane boy. His bookcase appears to be moving. He tries to save his mother from the drama. It sounds crazy, don’t it? Damion is not liable for his actions though. He picked up a bible and slammed it on the floor because he couldn’t understand it. The bible burns into flames. He then turns to the mirror to find out he’s disappearing like a genie. Damion sees visions of demons. It’s seems like a dream, but things are not done with it. It’s just the same shit old. Angels are singing in his ear. They appeared to have killed an old lady with a baby. That old lady is his dear mother. Her body falls to wall. Blood quick splatters. He tries to save his mother from the drama. What the fuck? Next he reached and grabbed her throat. It was over when Damion heard his name.
Mack Tha Jacka and Bone Skanless kick it secondly. Mack Tha Jacka introduces us to him first. Bone goes second. Mack Tha Jacka tells us about a murder committed on a fool. Mack Tha Jacka talks about how he had people jealous about the Skanless Family. (The Skanless Family name was buzzing around town at the time.) Next up, Bone Skanless kicks off an impromptu freestyle about Damion The Demon Seed. It ain’t nothing to Bone Skanless. This is skanless shit. Everything the Skanless Family did was scandalous. So cold and so skanless!
Damion himself is a nightmare as he describes next. So people fear him in their dreams. He’s down with the Skanless Klick. He’s kicking the skanless shit. He’ll be going to his own funeral. Damion eats souls until he gets full. He gets crazy like pit bull when eating human souls. Damion went crazy.
Mack Tha Jacka and Bone Skanless kick it off last. Next up, Bone Skanless kicks off an impromptu freestyle about Damion The Demon Seed. It's a freestyle rap on some horrorcore shit. This is a killer outro!
[The legend of this tape is when 2Pac came to Flint with MC Breed in 1993, he bought the master copy off of Damion and then released his own song "Dear Mama" which of course became a national hit. Tupac didn't give Damion credit for the song. Damion's investor sold the master tape of Dear Momma to 2Pac behind his back. Damion and 2Pac got into a fight backstage during a concert in 1993. So they cut ties.
If you listen to the lyrics of the song Dear Momma, they are very similar in style and sound. MC Breed had connections with U Be U Studios in Saginaw, Michigan and that is how Tupac met Damion and the Skanless Family. MC Breed had connections to the Michigan music scene as well.
Dear Momma was only available on reel-to-reel. An estimated guess of how many copies of this album exists is around 25 to 50 copies. Only those who are/were close to Damion have the reel-to-reels of Dear Momma. Such as members of the Skanless Family.]
I rate this album, Dear Momma, 5/5*****!!
