HIP HOP had me FRESH uplifted ZONED and gifted had me boppin to every syncopation

you don't need an education to rap
shit rap came from the education only leading to the trap
i love conciousness but some aint got no scrap
maps of double negatives leading me to nap
ready to slap the chap saying 88 is back
08' is next year advance your backpacks
breaking became acrobats
in adidas suits and fisher hats
when breaking died people they just sat
not saying to join the minstrel act
menstrual cycles is where some cats at
stop making labels get radios on the table
capitalism commercialism got hip hop unstable
middle america in love with the crack fables
cable drugs thugs hoes and shoves
rims and pink tims down our throats
do you need ice grills
are your original teeth broke
you got money in the bank
but keeping it there is the joke

R.I.P. Martin alexander (Marty Gra) Alston - my brother, my mentor , my friend-

when you talk about shit that puts ya to sleep
ive thought the same thing
the status quo sells sometimes i suppose
but they're just talkin' at me
like salesmen
i tell 'em no thanks i gave when i was
fifteen
when i paid perfectly good money for a celly cel cd
sometimes i think
yes your speech is very clever
but the object is to make those letters sing
alotta shit bein' pushed as hip hop
looks more like hair band rock to me

Hip Hop Poem


Solid Southern Blues lick venomous fluidity
At molten canvases
Spoiling the view

While Harlemite Jazz men taunt visceral images
Of smoke-laden hues
Draped in needle drips
Nodding away
Into forever

All the while
Hip Hop reminds us that children
Must grow
And if unattended
Trees grow crook-necked

But also that before they die
They find themselves righted

Slighted at times
But righted

Smooth to Barbadian breezes
Kissing feet

Pleading forgiveness

And before eyes close…
Like all predecessors

It is good

i also posted this awhile ago, but it seems to be fitting here...


I was live at the barbecue
corner of Sedgwick and Cedar
disenfranchised iconoclast
they were scared of me bein' birthed

1,2, 1,2 y'all, was meant to rock this way
don't stop, won't stop, c'mon, erything gon be okay

but then yo! i bum rushed the show
bustin' thru with a mouthful
still, they wasn't havin' it
onlookers hesitant and doubtful

1,2, 1,2 y'all, was meant to rock this way
don't stop, won't stop, c'mon, erything gon be okay

the time came and i enta'd the stage
leavin' no choice but to acknowledge
with a shrug and grimace they bellowed
"i bet he can't gross dollars!"

1,2, 1,2 y'all, was meant to rock this way
don't stop, won't stop, c'mon, erything gon be okay

finally it was all eyez on me
the focal for a potential of wealth
with greed beamin' out their stare
they ignited war, pittin' me against myself

1,2, 1,2 y'all was meant to rock this way
don't stop, won't stop, c'mon, erything gon be okay

now i tower, a flaming blue star
they behind me as the voice of today
but my deep roots have been enfeebled
gripin' the mic with nothin' meaningful left to say

1,2, 1,2 y'all, was meant to rock this way
don't stop, won't stop, c'mon, erything gon be okay...

You worked my psyche, cuz i was anticipating more... I like this... great storyline... ending hurt my feelings!!! but spoke the truth...

"they ignited war, pittin' me against myself

1,2, 1,2 y'all was meant to rock this way
don't stop, won't stop, c'mon, erything gon be okay

now i tower, a flaming blue star
they behind me as the voice of today
but my deep roots have been enfeebled
gripin' the mic with nothin' meaningful left to say

1,2, 1,2 y'all, was meant to rock this way
don't stop, won't stop, c'mon, erything gon be okay..."

Yall some bitch ass dudes lookin for that get fast cruise
On some Carnival shit yall be clownin lookin like straight foos
And I pity you on some Mr. T bidiness like you done too
Cuz you did it also, ain't a cell of ya body new
Shit, you claim to have lived in a cell block too
And you done smoked the marijuana and hustled crack rocks too?
Shhhhiiiiet... you'se a muhfuckin lie, the sucka MC
I is, was, and will be what you strive to be
Cuz I'ma be hot one day, offa my own steez
And my dick's gon be hot, cuz you can't get offa deez
I'd offer you a spot on my mixtape n dudes woulda thought it was me
You a flavor of the month type of rapper, softer than peaches n cream

enjoyed the flow on this one...

just checkin' in...and everything is checkin out....miss k

if you didn't define yourself for yourself you'd be crunched into other peoples fantasies of you an eaten alive.

audre lorde

Just some thoughts.. comin' pourin' outta my head while they hot cause its the middle of the night and my brains in the right mode.. no time to form them into anything special....


"Nowadays everybody knows how to get dressed"
Yes, yes, and with this observation I'm impressed
which is good, cause for a minute there I was depressed
Listenin' to so-called rap songs that sound like the love noises of incest
Take a second, its all good, to ingest..
I think back to when I bought a Kanye West cd while I was stressed
and thought "Really, this is the best shit out there?"
And then my ex introduced to this white cat from the midwest,
and for the first time I popped in some Atmosphere
Opened up my ears and my ear drums were seared
Pictured a doctor looking in, "Well, its just as I feared,
There's nothing wrong with this kid- he's just weird"


Rap ain't dead, and it ain't even dying
Its just under wraps, hidden from eyes prying
in that want nothin but to reach in to try and
make a profit at the expense of art
They want feaux soul, with a little fake heart
Oh, no no, let me give you a jump start-
I like rap just the way it is; 1000cc engines on go-karts.


My point didn't really get across.. my bad. Hopefully its hidden in there somewhere.

"What is done in love always takes place beyond good and evil." -- Nietzsche

Keep that goodness pourin out ya head, homey! I love it!

"which is good, cause for a minute there I was depressed...Really, this is the best shit out there?"
And then my ex introduced to this white cat from the midwest"

niiice... clever... u talkin bout Brother Ali? Just curious...


R"ap ain't dead, and it ain't even dying
Its just under wraps, hidden from eyes prying
in that want nothin but to reach in to try and
make a profit at the expense of art
They want feaux soul, with a little fake heart
Oh, no no, let me give you a jump start-
I like rap just the way it is; 1000cc engines on go-karts.


My point didn't really get across..."

---Your point came across loud and clear 'Feaux soul & fake heart' was clever too... you put thought into yr lyrics and trace them back to something current... thats hip hop fam... thanks for not keepin it "under wraps"... *smile*

Porcelain celebrities with fortunate amenities
energies, casualties, wars in the vicinities
people seeing enemies in kin and other entities
something in the industry is something like a penalty
then something inches in me like something infinitely
I got something from a penny, nearly something for nothing
thats something manifest no option for bluffin
I keep concoctions of nothing for something esoteric
keep blockin, "so what", my population can hear it
Keep watchin..its something illadel in my spirit
I can tell, its the opposite of hell when I'm near it
its hell when these killas that work for drug dealas
drop shells, that sting, and give em spells like Akeelah
still I rise and shine through storm like Rudolph...Wilma
Rudolph...beats, rhymes, and life...Jay Dilla
Rudolph...the island of misfits...I feel ya

the south south bronx - still number 1
freaking freezes on the box ak, shit is ill
go tell ya crew that the two top bills
and that's real, the rhythm, the rebel

if you step up keep that neck protected
freakin' future funk, born on some next shit

post with the toast then murk for the work
im willing to kill for bills so you know that what i say must be real
real hip hop, conscious hip hop, underground rap
are ambiguous terms equivocated that fire back
music is subjective but truth is objective and the truth is that the subject matter of rap music is better meaningless than deceptive
subtle lies are the worst kind because they're disguised by the truth
the cypher is fundamental i dislike gangster rap and the old school is not elusive to this youth

"music is subjective but truth is objective and the truth is that the subject matter of rap music is better meaningless than deceptive

I wanna show some love too, I dont show enough round here



You take away my music, you take away my soul
You take away my soul, then I'm not whole
I been 15 for about 4 months
And start to understand why God loves us
He loves the way we make mistakes, but prayer makes winners
He loves the way the ones tat pray the most is the sinners
It's funny when you think of all the people who saying
They the most religous, they the ones prayin
Waitin on the end when the lords gon' rise
Constantly watching the skies
Not knowing they will fry
God see's all and knows all too
He's watches the light in sinners, and darkness in christains brew
And Muslims brew
And catholic's brew
All religous cultures, he's watching you
Our eyes wide shut, but we seeing too
Takeing all the negativity as it approaches
The world is full of pestilence, and we move about like roaches
Multiply and still we die
Wiser and weaker
I represent whats left of the rhyme truth seekers
I'm not all that special, in fact i've grown much meeker, as i should...

SONO MEANS I AM, ARE YOU?...
