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 sorry 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.
[The legend of the Dear Momma tape is when 2Pac came to Flint with MC Breed in 1993. It was before a 1993 concert in Michigan that MC Breed took 2Pac to record some tracks at U Be U Studios in Saginaw, Michigan. A lot of rappers from Flint, Michigan came to record tracks at U Be U Studios in Saginaw, Michigan.
2Pac heard Damion The Demon Seed record the song Dear Momma at U Be U Studios for his debut album titled Damion The Demon Seed. 2Pac had liked what he heard after he had heard Damion rapping and Damion’s style of rap. What happened was that 2Pac liked the Dear Momma song so much that he 2Pac bought the master copy off of Damion. Damion The Demon Seed was receptive to the idea only if he were to receive credit and compensation for the written composition along with the DAT tape and reel-to-reel. Of course Damion like the idea. But things didn’t go exactly as how Damion planned.
What really happened was that 2Pac bought the master copy off of Damion and then released his own song "Dear Mama" which of course became a national hit. 2Pac did not 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 about the whole issue during a concert in 1993 which turned into an altercation. 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 and DAT tape. An estimated guess of how many copies of this single exists is around 25 to 50 copies. Only those who are/were close to Damion have the reel-to-reels or cassettes of Dear Momma. Such as members of the Skanless Family for instance.]
Damion The Demon Seed is the title track which is pretty self-explanatory. Damion The Demon Seed describes himself as an evil person here. He is struck by difficult decisions. The harmonious angelic chorus is warped and treble is terribly low. Sound quality is disheartened. The acid rap element seems to be prevalent with Damion The Demon Seed.
Damion speaks words of the wicked from the wickedest. He looks in the mirror but is unable to see who’s kicking it. The bodies be hanging, man. Eyeballs are dangling. Damion is having thoughts of strangulation. If Damion strangles you, he’ll tell your family first. So prepare for your death. Death is Damion’s specialty. Damion is ripping out people’s spines from Saginaw to Connecticut. Damion is so fucking wicked he scares his own shadow.
Damion pleads insanity on Damion The Demon Seed. He admits he’s guilty. The harmonious angelic chorus chants his name. Also his rap name is chanted in the chorus. Damion apparently needs the bible.
Apparently Damion is walking the paths of death. He’s loosing his breath. He stole so many souls there’s nothing but zombies left. As Tha Jack would. Apparently Damion is the devil. He speaks so much deep shit. I know. The organ is being played in the church chapel. Damion stabs his next victim. Damion took money from victim. Now police are looking for Damion. No witness will tell the story. Damion is hellhound. You and I know he’s out of his mind. He needs a new one. Now Damion will burn a couple of candles and mix the spell. His mind is deeper than the fiery pits of hell.
[A demon seed is the spawn of the devil. A demon seed is the spawn of all evil. The child of a demon is known as a demon. Latin term for 'demon seed' is 'seedus demonus'. Think of a child that's conceived through unwanted intercourse resulting in an unplanned pregnancy. An unwanted child rather to be exact.]
I rate this single, Dear Momma, 5/5*****!!
