Sims
Biography
Sims
Emcee
“Doomtree's Sims is the best evidence yet that talent nurtured at the bottom can surface with sudden force.” –Star Tribune.
Dues are paid. Stripes are earned. And now Doomtree’s Sims is poised to position himself as one of the break-out artists in independent hip hop.
As a performer, Sims has proven himself many times over on tours that criss-cross the country, with back-to-back shows, overnight drives, and a few new faces on every pass.
As a lyricist, Sims has shown himself to be a diligent student of craft, an intelligent writer, and a rare source of balanced, thoughtful commentary ranging from American culture and commerce to love and family. His stable of songs includes distopian vignettes, earnest appeals to our better nature, and unapologetic club bangers that he delivers from the floor, surrounded by fans that rap along with every word.
As a man, Sims is the same on and off stage. The themes in his music are the themes in his life: hard work, self-reliance, community and connection. He’s not the construct of a label, or his own understanding of what a rapper ought to be. He’s a man who’s making a life of his art, who embodies the DIY ethic that’s been reduced to a buzzword in other circles. And critics have taken notice. So have fans. Fearless sincerity isn’t always easy to come by in the music industry. But Sims’ words honestly convey his daily living: “I’m gonna get there you know/Even if I have to put the feathers on myself.”

So Beak and I are working like crazy. Been that way, and we’re not gonna stop. So here’s a little manifesto track for you, just a little snack until we serve up our record. You might recognize the beat.
Albums I purchased more than 3 times
February 24, 2010
I was unpacking some of my stuff earlier from the move (yes I know its been over 3 months since I moved but I’m busy procrastinating) and I found some records I had, albums that I have purchased more than 3 copies of because I could not stand life without them. They were either lost or stolen but certainly replaced. I love all of these albums although you may think my taste is a little questionable with a couple of these, but I love them regardless. Some of them I didn’t know that I had done that with until I found all 3 copies in my cd piles, like this one:

This might be the most self-indulgent, masturbatory thing I have ever seen. I am all about raising awareness for the Haitian relief effort but c’mon yo! I love it when celebrities try to make themselves feel better by “contributing”

Tragically, Glenn Beck still alive
November 05, 2009
In what is easily today’s most disappointing news swollen, pudgy, overwrought, alienating lunatic Glenn Beck still alive, here’s the official story:

Despite the fact that I didn’t make these beats Imma post ‘em up on here so y’all can peep ‘em. Figured I could let you know a little about my process in writing. I don’t know maybe we’ll do some remix contest or something in the future. MK made this beat a year or two ago and sent it to me with some other ones. I sort of forgot about it …
And The Winner Is……

For some reason I have been trying to keep our website politics free, which has proven difficult with the ongoing HealthCare “debate”, that has become an orgy of media dictatorship and an embarrassingly ugly and childish discourse but this was just too much today. President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize to this reaction:
Wow. These people are so conflicted. I really believe they are the most hypocritical, confused and generally lost group in politics…. possibly in the world. See those people high-five-ing? I can’t see a more clear cut example of their bullshit. You can read these reactions from US and World leaders that the mediocre at best Washington Post published here… positive and congratulatory from the rest of the world, here… not so much. Shit, dude. I hope Glenn Beck and the Tea-Baggers choke.

The Vikings let them back in the game towards the end. Aaron Rogers is for real but the Packers O-line is as weak as it gets. Jared Allen 4.5 sack 1 forced fumble and 1 safety. Favre still has it, 24-32 for 271 yards 3 TD’s. Adrian Peterson 55 yards on 22 carries. Sims 14 clapping/screaming outbursts on couch alone, 3 panicked hands to head moves. Lazerbeak held to a single tear of joy. VIKES WIN!
