Aight aight, I tried my best to bring folks out into that last thread, but it seems like a large part of this board is sleeping. For real, once I first heard the tracks we has for last week I was expecting it to be one of those crazy battles. One of those things where we got the whole board arguing back and forth passionately about all the tracks. I mean damn, I'm glad to see that this tournament has largely gone down with no major beefing, but at the same time we need to get that energy up because we are getting down to it. When there are rhymes this hot the MC's deserve feedback and something more than looks to know they got support

This is the last two weeks- we got this blazing tracks and then this Friday we got Lif versus Sha going for the gold. I couldn't keep sitting on this cause it just wasn't fair to the folks who've been participating through this whole thing, but goddammit folks! It better be hyped in here by the time next week rolls around. Anyways, hopefully this collab track will get you guys back into this because like I said- it is hot. Once again I got to say these collabs are probably the thing I'm most excited to see coming out of this- honestly I didn't think it would get done but everybody proved me wrong, and that is one time in my life I couldn't be happier to be caught being wrong on something. This collab doesn't need any more intro from me- the names in the credits alone are enough to let you know how dope this is going to be. I'll see you guys in here this Friday night and between now and then I better see the air start to get electric!

Define Love prod. by Aus // performed by: willi dudat, shakeet lokh em and nile hardin

du:
wanna know what real love is?
its stayin up til three
when you gotta wake up at six;
tweakin a switch, addin the perfect snare to the kick,
knowin that if you quit, you gon' only feel sick:
til you get it fixed, make it legit, so much so,
that know one knows whether or not cha amature or pro;
can't let it go! the drive is embedded in ya soul,
cause only when you finish could you ever feel whole:
noddin to the beat, eyes closed, losin yaself in the track,
in another dimension wishin you didn't have to
go back
in fact, its where you built ya home at,
its a proud devotion and some cats don't understand that:
there's a certain joy when you hearin what you birthed, from embryonic to ready for the earth- i've kicked, screamed and
cursed- in the process
but i made progress
this is how i define love best:

shakeet:
Too many times I took my life for granted/
Walkin the street I felt like, 'whatver happens happens'/
Between the gun clappin, and the undercovers trappin/
Mothers chest grabbin, prayin life is less tragic/
For her kids/ Will it be funerals? Or a bid?/
Well hopefully the kid shoots for the stratosphere.../
It was my biggest fear/ plantin seeds in a landfill/
The city man, where love's at a stand still/
But, in Apil 02, the fable of you, came due/
Havin children was a fairytale made true/
Twin sons, Tyler and Tyson, yall ease my pain/
And my stepson Chris, we on an even plane/
No altered love cuz you not my blood/
I love you just the same as your brothers, promise that on a
dove/
I'm so imperfect, tortured visceral/
But still yall lovin daddy unconditional/

don't have nile's verse tho...

but here it is anyway!!!
