Update



Update
By Marcus Banks
Hello Reader. It’s been quite some time since we last spoke. I have been down in the dumps. Kanye was right. Medication does kill genius. Mental Health medication kills genius. I have been resurrected though. I am hungry again. I want to be an artist again.
I am now more stable then when I was writing about Raven. The medication has got me where I am not psychotic so that’s good. I have my own place now. I was living on the streets when I recorded my old music. I was living in the salvation army or in porta-potties in and out of asylums and jails but I still was committed to my artistry. I was addicted to social media. I was chasing fame and not enjoying being an underground legend. But that led me to my battle with Charles Hamilton. That led to so many classic songs. So many that I can look back and say I want a collection of my favorite tracks so I can put them on the web for free to download.
I have yet to have anyone download my albums. They once all were for free but now they cost an high amount of money for a (digital album anyway). I figure if Wu-Tang can sell an album for a million then me asking for $100.00 isn’t a big deal. Not to mention what Nipsey Hussle was charging for his album at one time. These are gangster rappers I am writing love stories. I am giving you true stories about mental health. I am giving you my everything. But this Best Of Jet Lee Jetson will be free for download. It will be dedicated to Etika (the youtube gamer). I see so many similarities in his and my story and I wonder had I been successful with my suicide would it have prevented his. We were on the same path and I think it shows where the future of mental health and suicide is going. I did not want the legend to be forgotten so I am using his image on the front and back cover of this album.
It’s ten tracks. All bangers. I will be releasing this album October 2nd on bandcamp and this blog. If you want a good feel of what Otaku hip hop sounds like and what I can do on the mic…a good introduction into my work then I advise you to download this album. Who knows how long it will be available for free. I also have physical copies of Raven’s Home: The Album I will be selling online and in my city of Augusta. Follow me on Instagram @JetLeeJetson and DM me for details on how to buy the album.
I know I haven’t been active. I know I have been in a fucked up mood. But I am better now. I will try and update the blog weekly if not more. I am about to live on the web like I did when I was insane but this time not as mentally ill. I will be beat the medicine.
I also am working on a new album called Idoru 2.0: A Love Letter to Brenda Song. I am entering the second chapter of my career as Jet Lee Jetson and I am moving on from Raven. I am now focusing on the Asian Goddess Brenda Song and my music is going to be a reflection of that. I am going to work on an album as good as my first Idoru and keep the legacy going when it comes to dedicating music to positive female role models.
Check out the album artwork for both of these works and be patient. We will be back in full effect soon mutants.

Anyway. That’s about it for now. I have a lot of things I want to talk about and I will soon. Just want to work on some music right now. Thanks for reading reader and stay tuned. This blog will always be dedicated to Raven and all we have been through but I welcome you to another branch of Otaku Hip Hop. I must evolve. Took awhile to get my mind back together but here I am and I am ready to blow your mind.

Thanks again.

Mutants we are progress.

See Ya Space Cowboy.

Jet Lee Jetson- Brenda It Should Have Been Us




Happy Fourth Of July Reader. I am not going to go on a political tirade like I see some black celebrities doing today about how this holiday is only for a select few, I am just celebrating being alive.
I have four songs complete on the new album and the first song released is “Brenda It Should Have Been Us” a song dedicated to my new muse and Idoru Brenda Song. This will be different then what I did with Raven though. I don’t care if I get a response this time. I know Brenda is in a relationship right now and don’t care. I just want it to be documented that it should have been her I was writing about not Raven.
Make no mistakes, I wrote beautiful music for Raven and some of these tracks I cannot deny the power of love and poetry involved in them. However, if I had a chance to go back and pick someone else I think I would have gotten a better response from Brenda. And I plan on getting her named tattooed on my other cheek to match Raven’s name on my left check.
Brenda is everything Raven is not. She was also a child star but she isn’t caught up in Disney contracts and she isn’t involved with speaking about things that hurt others feelings or racism in any regard. She truly is a beautiful POSITIVE female role model and you can’t always say Raven is positive.
I remember I was at Roger’s State Prison and the TV in the day room would stay on 24 hours. So when everyone was asleep I would wake up and go watch Disney in the wee hours of the morning. It was there I fell for Brenda Song. I wrote a song for her after a early morning marathon of The Suite Life Of Zach And Cody:
“Definition of a rich bitch// London Tipton//”
As time passed I fell back under Raven’s spell but I have always thought about Brenda Song. I have always thought she deserved the same attention I gave Raven. I am not saying I will be writing as many songs about Brenda as I did Raven but I will say that I will express my love for her in different ways like with ink and post on my blog and in my light novel she will be a character. I think she is a better actress than Raven as well. I just can’t see Raven pulling off some of the dope shit I have seen Brenda do like fighting or doing roles that have nothing to do with slapstick humor.
I hope she continues to strive in her career before she settles down so I can continue to be in love with her at this level. My new Idoru.
Love is Over Coming soon.

Love Is Over



Love Is Over
By Marcus Dewayne Banks
Aka
Jet Lee Jetson

Jett Jackson

Good morning reader. I sit in starbucks around the time it opened, I say about 5:45 AM, with an Ice Caramel Macchiato and some blank CDs along with my bookbag. You may be wondering what I am doing up so early, well, I am getting my album covers done today for two of my classic albums Hello Kitty and Raven’s Home, and despite my tendency to be down in the dumps a lot as a partial emo emcee, I am in a great mood.
I have decided to sell autographed copies of these albums via the web before I begin printing copies of my book, Perfect Blue: An Artist Biography, and that is not all. I am about to be in the lab a whole lot more. I just bought a microphone that will be arriving tomorrow and I plan on recording new music with it, A lot of new music that has nothing to do with Raven Symone.
My new album will be called Love Is Over. I think the title fits. Raven and I have a strange relationship on Instagram. I tag her in every post. I know she sees them. I tag her costar Anneliese VanDerPol as well, Anne at one point was liking the post I was making about their new show and the music I was creating. I have spoken to Anne several times via the web and our relationship is dope. In fact here’s a funny sidebar about me and Raven’s best friend.
One day on Twitter she posted that she missed the old Kanye. I replied she shouldn’t judge people with mental health issues. Another “fan” decided he would tell me to leave Anneliese alone and not to put fanbases against each other. Anneliese like his post. I forgot my reply but hours after I made it, in the wee hours of the morning Anneliese told me she loved Kanye’s music and that she was just quoting him from a song. We spoke about hip hop for a couple of comments and it was a cool moment for me.
I know these girls know how I am.
But alas…Love Is Over.
I was raised to love her. She didn’t act gay. She has never played a gay role. She was on posters for young boys. In magazines to be lusted after by teenage boys. She did interviews telling us even if we worked at McDonald’s we had a chance with her. She had boyfriends on her show. Pregnant on a guest appearance on My Wife and Kids. How could she do what she did a few days ago on Instagram?
I know I sound vague but let me explain. I liked to think me and her have an alignment. A connection. I posted about Star Wars one day. Then she did the same day. Mysterious girls that never showed their faces and signed autographs in their stories were in my DM talking about Raven until I had a psychotic episode and embarrassed myself and me and Raven’s relationship on Instagram then the accounts were deleted.
A few days ago she posted about an Interview she did in Variety magazine. I of course looked it up. Now originally in her interview with Oprah Raven still teased all of her male admirers by saying she was bisexual. That she didn’t want to be labeled. A lot of people didn’t know she had said that and accused her of being strictly a lesbian. People don’t research. Just like when she said she was not African American everyone said she said she said she wasn’t black, when she just was anti America. But in this new interview she said she didn’t want to be with men and was strictly a lesiban. The interviewer had to remind her that she said on the view that she didn’t date men and then Raven agreed. Raven also said there was no gay agenda in Hollywood.
My question is this…how can someone that says they want their personal life to be private tell lie after lie or mislead so much and then get angry and block fan comments on all of her social media when people have something to say about her. She says hurtful things about race and sexuality and should be held accountable. She broke my heart. I am not upset though. I am moving on. I am kind of happy she has set me free. Now I am moving on to different topics in my music. Love Is Over.
I remember Sway asking Charles Hamilton if he was going to make music about celebrity girls again and Charles replying he wanted nothing to do with famous women. I now know what the homie meant. So many women in this world and I become obsessed with a “star”. There are better things to talk about than Raven. I am not going to lie though….something about Brenda Song has me in a great mood this morning. I have made several songs about her and have mentioned her in my music before, not nearly as much as Raven but I do have a thing for Brenda.
I can’t be mad at Raven. There is something undeniable about her. As for a gay agenda in Hollywood well, I just heard Lil Nas X came out the closet. I am not homophobic but I have straight pride. I have nothing negative to say about gay people but just like they promote their “pride” I am promoting mine. I don’t think it’s wrong for a man to love a woman and unlike gay people I am promoting “birth” and “life”. I said it best on the Raven’s Home album on “Stay”:
“How can a man feed a child if his breast fake?”
True shit.
I am pro-life. Gays are not. That’s just logic. Wether you like it or not.
How can you go from straight, to bi, to gay though? Raven baby, what do you have going on? I have had enough. Love Is Over.
So what can you expect on this new album? Well, the production plans on being some of the best I have ever been on seeing as how I am downloading nothing but lofi beat tapes and Cloud Trap beats. Lyrically just be ready for some dope shit. I am going to give you some thought provoking shit man. The previous track released like a week ago produced by Charles Hamilton is going to be a bonus track on Forgot I Had Wings. This new album will be a whole new vibe. And I am just going to write until I get it right.
The title also is inspired by a game I am purchasing soon that is one of my favorites. “Catherine” for the PS3 and X-Box 360. It’s about relationships and has a crazy storyline. When you die it says Love is Over. Once again my connection to anime and video games and Japan. The main character in “Catherine” is cheating on his girlfriend so it’s like even more symbolic.
I am about to head out and get my CD covers made. Info on how to order a copy coming soon to the blog. Also you can follow me on Instagram:

Idol I Mean Idoru

If she could make me laugh//
I can ignore the gays in drag// I wonder if Raven’s asked//
if I am some type of ladies man//
stupid enough to want her and crazy to think I can//
have my heart crushed by gays and glad//
and take her back//
the 80s passed//
and Cosby would put the drinks in glass//
at a young age she’d act//
I wonder if she knew she’s raised a fan//
that would fill a page with crack//
and if so how come she can’t relate to that?//
all I want is a thanks and damn//
maybe ass//
 I’m bugging- really I would be happy to shake her hand//
and say I’m black//
but she made me see race is wack//
like a basic tramp//
created plans//
to write until someone breaks my hand//
Ace exams//
in my baby’s class//
I told her paint the grams//
I’m blazing hash//
that make me feel like I am no longer a lame outcast//
her name is jazz//
I play the sax//
 when I rhyme audio dope I get paid no tax//
my pen’s the razor pad’s//
cocaine in slabs//
