Debut Single, Debut Album and 'HYPNTZ' Controversy In 2008, Black released a solo single, "HYPNTZ". The song's lyrics were taken from rapper The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize", while its instrumental sampled a cover of "Starman" by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Rihanna's "Umbrella". used. The single received positive reviews, with one critic commenting: "It achieves its magic formula in a manner that is both arbitrary and obvious, which is a part of its brilliance. The Umbrella break + Starman soundtrack + a beautiful melodic rendering of a gangsta rap staple: we know exactly what has been done here, and this is why it sounds so good". However, before a planned music video could be shot, The Notorious B.I.G.'s estate informed Black's team of their objection to the use of the "Hypnotize" lyrics. The "HYPNTZ" single was consequently taken out of circulation and the video scrapped.

Hot chocolate
Hot chocolate, also known as hot cocoa, is a heated beverage consisting of shaved chocolate, melted chocolate or cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and often sugar. Hot chocolate made with melted chocolate is sometimes called drinking chocolate, characterized by less sweetness and a thicker consistency.
The first chocolate beverage is believed to have been created by the Aztecs around 2,000 years ago, and a cocoa beverage was an essential part of Aztec culture by 1400 AD. The beverage became popular in Europe after being introduced from Mexico in the New World and has undergone multiple changes since then. Until the 19th century, hot chocolate was even used medicinally to treat ailments such as liver and stomach diseases. Today, hot chocolate is consumed throughout the world and comes in multiple variations including the very thick cioccolata densa served in Italy and chocolate a la taza served in Spain, and the thinner hot cocoa consumed in the United States.
History
An early Classic period (460-480 AD) Mayan tomb from the site of Rio Azul, Guatemala, had vessels with the Maya glyph for cacao on them with residue of a chocolate drink.

Alone
by: Dan BlackYour words are coat hanger thin
Why are you speaking at all?
Why are you torturing me?
No, I don't want this at all.
I see the burn in your cheeks
as you change what was truth
You offer pieces of nothing
as irrefutable proof.
And if the sky does fall down
Like you tell me it should
I doubt I'll even notice
I doubt I even could
I'm too busy just laughing
at the voice in my head
that keeps on telling me secrets
about what you once said.
You've never looked more beautiful
I've never felt so alone
And as this time passes by
I find I'm listening more
To this language you're using
But your grammar is poor
I'd swear I heard you say
that you loved me way back when
Perhaps a previous life-time
And this absolves you of sin
And if I had the strength to argue
Then perhaps I'd beg to differ
But instead I'll nod my head
As my muscles get much stiffer
My thoughts are turning away
from this ranting that you rave
I find I think of just one phrase
A single thought my mind will save
You've never looked more beautiful
I've never felt so alone
And if you think you know why I'm here
all alone
You are so wrong
You haven't got a clue what I'm trying
