Tomorrow Cons talks about making "Don't Forget 'Em" with Kanye and the studio love that messed up his session.

Welcome to Consequence’s GuestStar Blog entries. Shout out to SOHH for giving an opportunity to talk to my fans and potential new ones. If you don’t know, “Don’t Quit Your DayJob” is in stores right NOW!!!

With this being my first blog entry , I wanted to talk about my new single “Don’t Forget’Em” and the of making this video. It’s funny how I actually landed on “Don’t Forget’Em”. I recorded this record in late 2005 at Chung King Studios in Lower Manhattan. This was one of the few times me & Kanye were in the studio together while I recorded this album. So check it, we’re in the studio right,I’m supercharged to get a few records finished. You’ve gotta understand, me & Kanye are mad tight but I understand he’s one the biggest producers in the game so I try to take full advantage of having him involved in my project (It’s Business).So we’re in the studio going through beats and one of my guys who will remain anonymous had his girl in the studio. Son when I tell you they were illin’ man these 2 maf*ckers were dry humping, kissing and all sorts of dumb shit. I’m looking like,”Hello I have an album to finish! Could you guys go get a hotelroom”.

I figured since we went through the process of shooting the video for my new single “Don’t Forget’Em” in the previous blog that we should talk about what it took to shoot the videos for the skits on my album. The first one that we shot is called “Guess What”. It is the first skit on my album and is sonically attached to the end of “Job Song”.

Alright we’ve talked about “Don’t Forget’Em” & “Guess What” so let me explain the process of shooting my 2nd video skit “On Break”. We shot this & “Yo Dex” inside the Paul & Shark Shop on 66th Street & Madison Avenue. Originally my man Charlemagne from “The Wendy Williams Experience” was suppose to play the “Boss” character. We kept running into scheduling problems because the store was only available in the early part of the day and Charlemagne had to be on the air by 2pm. I wanted to get these finished sooner than later since we were launching them from a viral standpoint. Once I saw we were going to be further delayed than expected I figured I should just do it.
