"Mind Activation" (song)

"Mind Activation" is a song by Atari Monroe, that was the second official single to his free album "The Life & Times of A Dope Broke Artist". although the rough draft version of the song had been out for months, the official version that appeared on the album was released on July 9th, 2012.



Track Information

The track is produced by DJ Shynin, and contains a sample from "The World is Yours" from Nas' classic album "Illmatic". Arguably one of Atari's most lyrical performances, he displays an impressive rhyme scheme while speaking on the state of the Rap game as a bussiness, while seemingly subliminally calling out simple, minimally talented artists. (as heard from the start of the first verse, "I excersize my effin-Mind, You Never-Tried/ You rely on Swagger and hella-Lies to be telivised/...." directed to artists who lack creativity) As of January 2013, it was Atari's most listened to song in his still very underground career. The song was released via Atari Monroe's Youtube  & Reverbnation accounts. In December of 2012, It was used as his submission to GrammyAmplifier via SoundCloud as an attempt to gain notice from one of his biggest influences, RZA, a Curator for the site. The song recieved very solid support, Trending on GrammyAmplifier's website majority of the days it was up. (Still in Progress)



Unofficial Music Video

On July 16, 2012, unofficial visuals for the song were released via Youtube. The video was made out of Clips from a viral video, "Ode to Mad Science" by MoOmBaMaStAr, an AMV (Anime Music Video) creator. It was originally released on July 16, 2008. Neither Atari Monroe or MoOmBaMaStAr claimed any rights on the video, and it was a non profit en-dev-our used as a tribute to some of history's "mad" geniuses, then later by Monroe to bring light to the song. MoOmBaMaStAr is currently inactive and/or has not released any AMVs in 4 years as of July 2012.
