Notebook Piece: Hiphop

IP:

The Second Of Three Pieces I Write On The Train Goin Down To Barmouth, Several Kids Have Asked Me To Post Them, So Here. .



Hiphop

Fuck the pop chart, hiphop's my life & i love the art,
to the point my bloods breakdancing to the beatbox of my heart
These stop / start Candy Rappers are Decaying whats right
Hiphop is Not a type of music, its a Culture, a way of life.
On mics, we entertain, and for those who are not sure -
Rhythm And Poetry is exactly what 'RAP' stands for.
Not violence, drugs & graffiti, which is pertained as threatening
Tag writers are freely expressing using 3-D Dimensions.
Pops merely a reflection that saw a gap in the market,
made Pop stars go RnB, thus using rap as a target
But artists such as myself, sit back & laugh cuz its funny
when people like Timberlake are Justin it for the money.
They know nothing, or very little, of the culture their tryna riddle
Sure, the cash and fame would be nice, but its the music i live for
Not material objects, i still cut wax with the best,
and leave Bass Loops with High Hats in a Cymbal of suspense
Ever since i grasped that first spray can & began to write,
that wall became my work place, it was love at first Site.
Id practice every night, phats & slims were my chosen tools
Using faster pace to create a masterpiece of Old Skool
Where bold ruled, high top fades were the latest craze,
Nowadays itsthought 'Bein Real' means singing about gays
Yet im winning without praise, your revealing the true bitch in you
thinking your "Backpacker" cause of the music you listen to.
If you strongly believe that, then please, Stop
Because if you dont live it, then your not Hiphop.
