It's like the ECW arena when i appear
it's like the ECW arena up in here
mad hoods in hoodies/mad chokeslams
baseball bats wrapped in barbedwire
chairshots and broken tables/someone got set on fire
but for now, that later
right now I'm like Van Vader
when i drop the power bomb you wake up in a crater
Ko'ed in a sec, arm barred from the guard
any rapping retard
that wants to shoot a fair one finds that it aint that fair
if you come prepared
you'll see that the defense you learned from your seifu
is so defenseless is almost see through
i throw double rights and hook off the jab
cause you to roll to the ground, into a Boston crab
leg locks and toe holds with rhymes straight from the lab
the valley of the jeep beats on the scene since 91'
14 years in the trenches/ writing rhymes and metaphors
while kids spent time drinking country club, pumpin' gangsta rap while doin' reps on the benches
so quit ridin the dilsnick cause i can still kick the ill shit on the real tip
well that's enough of that, i just felt like doing a little freestyle rap. Whatever, it's not like i view myself as an MC or anything it's just kind of fun to do that every once again. I like to beatbox too. Ya know, beatboxing is way fun. Making kooky sounds with a farting bass bottom. It's a lost art. I think it has a place, just don't know where. Hip-hop is so bad nowadays it's embarrassing to admit that you ever liked it. I hear these rapping kids and can't imagine that they actually think that they're making music, or at least music in the sense that it comes from any sort of motivation outside of getting loot. Ya know, everyone has to pay the rent, i dig that but it seems like they don't give event he smallest thought to what they are saying and how the words might effect the people out there. Music has power, it's like somewhere i read that everyone is born with the key to heaven but the catch is that the same key opens the door to hell.
Not all these kids are wac though, MF DOOM, EL-P, Slug, MR.LIF and a whole slew of dudes that no one ever hears about are doing it right. Sticking to the four elements of hip-hop, breakin', rappin' graf and DJ'ing. That shit is crucial, to know that past and to know where you came from. Now the past isn't necessarily the future or anything but it's important to dig your foundation and to build off of it in a way that does the past a service. That doesn't mean that you have to try and do what Kurtis Blow was doing, but with a new jack swing but you should know who Kurtis Blow is and to pay attention to his music and to see what it was that he was doing so that you, i don't know try and leave a legacy for the next group of rapping kids to listen to.
The way shits going now i can't see a next level of MCs even existing. Instead of going forward it's like back to the early days of back when rap was just a cool dance hit even though it wasn't saying shit. It's funny, growing up i knew all sorts of shit about Islam and about historical characters just from listening to Public Enemy, PRT and even Run DMC with proud To Be Black. What do kids learn about today? I can't imagine.. Well, i think i could keep going on about this all night but i have a few things to do before the wifey gets home from work.. Take care of yourself and uhm, go listen to EPMD, it's like homework. Drop me a line, I'll send you some good music, FREE, that's how strongly i feel about this...
Bryan,
I likeded this one. Not that I don't like your other posts, but this one especially hit a chord. It's important to be awares of your roots so you can totally disregard them if you choose...but in that case it's a choice with reasons, and not plain ol' ignorance.
Dude, I drank some wine with dinner and then without dinner. I hope we get to hang soon.
