For real man. Money does bad things to good people. "To get rich..." SMH. If you have that dream you aint goin to get far. I hate how all the people care about the money. In the song "Brooklyn" by Mos Def, he says it best, a statement that is so true in my opinion.
"One of the greatest MCs was a local cat"
Have you recorded anything yet sly?
Nah, not yet. Right now just trying to perfect the rhymes. At the same time I'm really looking forward to producing. So since getting back to NY I haven't written much. Just looking for a job so that I can save up money for producing equipment. What about you? How's that coming along?
Same. I think i'll be ready to record this summer when i go to NY. Some of my friends rap. I'm going to produce with them.

VerseOne (Me) still needs editing...
I Grew Up On The Streets Of Bk, Where the Beats Stay
They i move to LV in a heat wave
A few years in this hell i call home
Many things changed so much time has flown
Been 3 years, since i rolled in ridgewood
But the style stays the same, fresh kicks and mint hoods
You know what? I'm hated all across the country
Cause i dont go for sex honeys, i dont do it for the money
Some people out there, i dont even know, saying **** about me
That they got more dough
But fact is, the dont know jack about me
Oh you do? Bring a MAC and we'll see
Everything i say spits fire, you? You stay in ice
You a hater a month, im a winner for life
But im passionate, I rap, i do this true
Hey man, they hate me, what can i say about you?
(Verse 2) (Him)
So many haters these days
They tryna jack the way
Us original brothas do yall fake we true
I'm DPO and my flow be so ill
Yall the mirages we are real
Don't hate on D he new york born and raised
My words have emotions connect like a play
If you think I'm illetare you are wrong
my illiteration is inspiration for you to hate the song
I'ma do me your words have no effect
My soul is what determines the text
I really don't believe that hip hop is dead
I think it's growing changing but instead
Of afrocentrism we do itemcentrism
I can mix both I have infinite wisdom
And my mentality is that of a entrepeneur
To get more not be poor own a house with a shore
That's pretty good, Streets. Check this out:

I don't wanna brag or anything but I wrote these verses on the spot
I was just gonna comment on your rhymes but then I was like let me put something down.
I can write faster if I don't use a beat behind the words. But when I have time I'll see if I put some rhymes with a classic beat.
I hear what you're saying about the whole "murking people" thing. But if you take a look at the rhymes that I wrote I really didn't mention anything about killing or shooting somebody (just stabbing). To me, it isn't cool to glorify those moments in time. At the same time, helping your audience visualize situations that you may have encountered is something that emcees should do. Showing right from wrong and to not commit the same mistakes, you know? Its also about being creative and depicting images you may have in your head.

Me too man. Its alot easier if you dont have a beat. I suck at freestyling, though. I need a lot of free time to write.
Classic beats take up more time. And they sound alot better when you cover it if you use a similar rhyme pattern. As you saw, i did write a diss track, but it isn't that great. I'm not really good at the whole killin, murkin, type of thing.
You are though. I liked those you put up
Anyone else got some rhymes/poetry they want to share?
Thanks bro. Yo, you doing good too. Yea, freestyling is hard. But remember that the greatest emcees weren't good at freestyling. I think it has to do with being a perfectionist. I'm gonna see if I write rhymes to the sounds of "dead presidents" in the next week or so. I'll put it up on this thread once I'm done.
Right some were. But the upper echelon of MC's- Nas, Rakim, Tupac- weren't.
Is that freestyle from the Bobbito show?
lmao MSG's are pretty good made me laugh a coupe times when comparing NBA players like Ron Artest hitting fans lol
Someone please answer me this
true of false
you HAVE TO BE a good freestyler to be a success.
i believe you don't have to be but some people just dont agree
