Bullshit Era Part 2`

I tend to overly criticize my 'fellow' emcees. My reasons are valid and they're true (of course because I stand by my opinion), but some of the things that are though and said by people nowadays, you would have to agree is quite ridiculous. Now I'll throw a name out there say Lil Wayne. I'm very outspoken about dude went from, "drop it like it's hot" to "Lollipop", and this guy has the nerve to call himself best rapper alive. Hmm ok, first time he did this, nobody agreed, he dropped a few mixtapes even I must say I noticed a difference in his delivery and rhymes. But definitely nothing to make me say "Wayne is getting great". Getting better? Yes you were def able to see that to hear that, but to be called the best? One thing to call yourself the best, and then be on every song every remix, and then people get so used to hearing you they buy into it.

I like to break these people down

A) The people that begin to tolerate you more, because they're being forced fed the bullshit.

B) The people that start actually believing what you say; if you say you're the best enough times for you to believe it, others might follow suit.

C) The people who don't care who's out there making music as long as it's popular and in the clubs they're cool with it.

D) Oh and the new generation, this is all they're being exposed to.

See the industry has it set up to the tee. Look 2 who's top selling, who's most popular. Watch the main subject matter that they promote. We are in a business now, they don't care about what quality is being pushed out. They just care whether or not fans will buy into standards.

So after reading this you might think HATER. I laugh @ that. If I was to hear some type of rebuttal from someone, they're OPINIONS might sound like they're hating as well. Well as if in court, show me the evidence of Lil Wayne being a better emcee than most that exist. Show me where it says people the likes of Gucci Mane are getting all this attention. I mean is is style and image because it ain't lyrics. Souljah Boy up there, dude sounds horrible, no lyrics , no talent oh but he's fun. Is William Hung still performing?

Take It 2 Da Hook

Brand new shit from yours truly 'Take It 2 Da Hook'

Take It 2 Da Hook

Spit a tongue twister, hit 'em up with the vision of a special man

if you didn't get it the first time around then you didn't understand

so simple and plain as I give you my brain

while trying to the best that I can

I can't explain but it happens to be

a chance like this won't happen again

I'm rapping again with no pad and a pen

My passion is strong and I'm blasting away

fake emcees passing away, tie they body up stash 'em in the lake

we don't hear that trash anyway

thought you was the best got carried away

what the hell is this got smacked in the face

bump on your head from what I carry in the waste

hey, maybe I'm madly insane Bad like Michael J back in the day

the fact is I rap and attack with a baseball bat

but I don't give a damn if it breaks your face

make no mistake when I come through baked

better play-it-safe, ain't no telling what goes in the mellon

Brain keeps swelling from sounds of the bass

Ladies, Gentlemen gather 'round the great

Spit a thousand miles an hour without a chase

ZOOM, past fast without a trace

eat a microphone all day without a break

astound the crowds with sounds that I create

the best pound for pound a constant debate

the time that it takes for the rhymes I create

is a prime example of why I'm a ape

I violate while my eyes dilate

'Cause the high's so defined visualize every line

Take It 2 Da Hook Now!

R.I.P MJ

We have lost a very inspirational person. Michael you are truly going to be missed, never again will we have a person who has touched the world quite like you have. As an artist, I can only wish to make such an impact. I also feel that we shouldn't bring up the dark and questionable past of this man either. We all have flaws and faults, that is not to excuse any of his actions but to welcome him being human despite the amazing and divine legacy that MJ has provided us with from now until the end of time. HEE HEE!

P.S He made thriller man, thriller!

Bullshit Era

So I'm in the car right with some family and friends listening to the radio (which I only do when somebody else puts it on) and of course the radio plays the same like-minded songs for like pretty much the entire show. My question is what's up with the auto-tune? Why the fascination? I mean maybe if it was just T-Pain although I find him to be rather annoying, but atleast it would be one person using it. Now we have an entire generation dedicated to having this effect on every last song we hear. It's a bit stifling this auto-tune shit is, that along with Lil Wayne being on every track, I mean EVERY track? Seriously? Have we come to a point where we settle and don't want to venture out to something original, something different? I think it's about time we have a breath of fresh air something that can bring substance back to the industry. I shouldn't have to listen to a Souljah Boy track with him sounding nasty and shitty, but it somehow reaches number one on the Billboard charts. I shouldn't have to put on the radio with hopes to hear something meaningful and have to turn it back off because Lil Wayne is on 5 songs in the same show. I'm that disgusted that I even have to write about in a blog... but hey that's the way of the new world I guess.
