I Challenge You...

[Japher]

Mine suks, but oh well

Ode to SlowwHand

Sloww’s from Texas and they kick Ass
The don’t fish for Bass (base), they fish for Bass
Takin’ from the trailor with tack in hand
Pause by the bank to pull bait from the sand
Hardly have time before the sun goes down
To get the bobber’s bobbin’ and some cold one’s down
Yet when we do it’s going to be a blast
To fish like the nigga’s and never have ta cast
Just pull on the longnecks and let them be
Loungin’ ‘neath the eaves of the big shade tree
When the sun’s arisin’ we’ll head on home
Yell out the wife to polish our chrome
Tell the dirty kids to take out the trash
Then bend her over and shove it up her ass
Check out the news on the ol' RCA
Glad to see we fry another felon today
If this ain’t heaven, I don’t know what is
God Bless Texas, I need to take a wiz…

[SlowwHand]

I saved that one.

[Japher]

Can you tell I've been to Texas?

[SlowwHand]

Must have been at one time.
Remember though, we use lethal injection now, no more riding the lightning.
We're humane now.

[Japher]

That's just what they tell the public. They actually still hang 'em

[SlowwHand]

I hang them.
If the courts get them, it's the needle and the damage done.

the main task of the rapper's art is song-writing and i think this is an area that requires some intelligence. a typical rock song does not approach the number of rhyming syllables of a rap song nor do rock songs rely as heavily on puns and similies as rap does.

The typical rapper also does not write his music. Rock and Country music has the songwriter actually write the music as well as the lyrics and make them fit together.

And THEN they actually have to be able to sing .

Rode down to Baltimore, slidin down past the jersey shore
All at once chantin' 'more more more'! in the backseat to crazy beats
For no reason, in their seats no one agreein that it's the season for

Dancin by the bay

Screams of passengers shaking my dreams, somehow seems
Like friends turned serpents ends my hallucination, and hatin
This false pretense, far too dense, attempted to collect recompence

All along the east coast drive

My little volvo knows no sorrow, never hollow with air or gas
Fillin the inside keepin the ride, smooth and tender, never ever
Freak out, don't want to hear no one shout, I think it's about

Time for a drive down the seaside.

[monolith94]

Needs polishing, but I think that is enough to show that I know how to glow when it comes to rhyming... In any case, I write poetry, not rap - I find rap far too limiting.

[Pekka]

BTW I never claimed rapping is easy, or making lyrics. But I give my shot, I don't understand what you mean by syllabels and stuff, but I hope you give me a break, as english is my 2nd language, so I am not very good with the slang that is used in the game. Here I go!11:

The Game
------------

yo yo check it

I was cruising in my cadillac, scratching my sack and pumping the illest track*
'I bless the mess', turn that **** off, I could care less about wutang killer bees
punk ass ****ing chinese, shaolin monks, they nothing but ugly punks

As I'm getting closer to the house where my baby is
his bro, the poser, he looks at me, like I'm in a ****ing pop quiz
'stay of my sister', I come out of the car like a twister
squeeze off his blood blister and get back to my car
light up my cigar and look like a superstar

Nah.. I'm too tired and can't think of anything good.. I give up!

[Al B. Sure!]

wait a second, tassadar... why the hell should i write a story? I never denied writing a story was an artform nor did i ever say it was incredibly easy. i know it takes intelligence and effort...

[David Floyd]

Writing a story does NOT take intelligence. Writing a good one can, though.

Similarly, writing music does NOT require intelligence. Writing GOOD music often does, though. I wouldn't define rap as good music.

[Al B. Sure!]

**** seeing it as music... read it as poetry...

Because, I wrote a "rap" of sorts.

It's your turn to have "cultural enlightenment".
