69564, Weekly Special: manchego quince Posted by Jon, Mon Jul-16-07 09:25 AM
Manchego Quince
(inspired by Quincy Jones' famous statements about wishing 2pac didn't dumb his lyrics down so much for that audience.)
submitted by: Jon...me...(still waiting for you lazy bums to PM me some concepts!!)
assignment: pick a verse/song from a famous rapper (can be 2pac or anyone else -- something that either seems dumbed-down to you or something you just want to pick for the fun of it) and re-imagine it, writing it your way. give it the "you" treatment.
here's a picture of Manchego Quince to inspire you: http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/56/79/23047956.jpg
IMPORTANT: everyone reading this is welcome...encouraged...BEGGED to start pelting my inbox with ideas/concepts/challenges for future Weekly Specials. thanks :)

69619, lol nice! Posted by Jon, Thu Jul-19-07 08:21 AM
i think its cool how you (for the most part) kept the same cadence, rhyme schemes, AND theme...and just used different words to build the same structure. pretty dope challenge-within-the-challenge. that's what''s cool is everyone's gonna interpret these challenges their own way. i like that.

69623, i just wanted to put something up Posted by Rajeniro757, Thu Jul-19-07 01:32 PM
The first joint i thought of was his verse because i never understood it. Yet I know every word of it. You got to love LL and this is my favorite incoherent verse.
I thought it would be easy but it was harder then it looks.
thanks for the read and the concept

The most special, most ghetto, most method, most valuable Rep my avenue like is the damn state capital Coming shadows to mind, a better mark of rapeness On slaves who high jacked the slave ships The hackers who remapped the matrix And built the road back to basics And getcha all off that strain shit You know this other cats run game with, it's tainted Consider this the moment that changed it: NOW! Jack john's stand strong never bow down Back off or get clapped dog right about POW For east to the west,up north to down south We show you how to REALLY make moshpit bounce Show you how the gritty make the ghetto wild out First letters that I wrote when I sketch the script down I'M LIVE WITH IT low, middle, the high with it And that's how I'ma live and die with it I shine with it, rhyme with it, reveal and recognise with it The ghetto know what time is it, when i spit it Me 9-semi, an iron lion strike with it See Dr. Know string a knot and make 'em ride with it
Check out real mix get it, I like the way ya rock wit it that's why I stay live wit it, hip hops my life spit it so that's why on the mic I just give it ALL I GOT lyrics that really hit the spot rep my neighborhood like it's the nations capital coming shadows to mind, a better mark of rapeness on slaves who high jacked the slave ships the hackers who remapped the matrix and built the road back to basics and getcha all off the games hits you know shit other cats chasin fame with it's tainted consider this the moment that saved it: RIGHT NOW Black brothers stand strong never bow down back off or get dropped jack so they need to back down east to the west, up north to down south we show ya how to really make a moshpit bounce show ya how the gritty make the ghetto wild out bullshit in the streets make ya wanna just shout I'M FLIPPIN ON IT Straight flippin out on it,so hot ya don't want it and I just wanna get by on it the ghetto know what time is it, when I spit it me 9 semi an iron lion strike with it see dr.No string a knot and make em ride wit it
