Do not go exploring the the depths of your wisdom Corporate America has simply found its newest victim Rooted in the art of contractual negotiations Artists have forgotten their moral obligations The deterioration is visible through lyrical evaluation justifying why you're "hot" does not take imagination Gone are the days of storytellers and sophistication Simply make up a dance and become an overnight sensation I agree that the craft did not come with a set of instructions Opened the door for a scrawny li'l "Soulja" of destruction Although, no singly entity is responsible for this tragedy As you can see, it is the undesired product of apathy Society needs an authentic expression through its cultural arts Not some record executives with sights on the charts Hip-Hop is not Crunk, nor Snap, nor Pop It is an inspirational reservior that fills the empty pots However, this identity crisis has rendered it lifeless When one stares into the dark they will likely think they're sightless Believe me, hope comes before ignorance and other vices A generation is starving for knowledge let us revive it So as long as you and I are out there rhymin' well, Hip-hop may be somewhere alive and well |
I love the theme of this poem, I really do, but I don't personally like the way it was put together. Your word fluctuation was good, but I feel that the format was a little to restrictive to the piece. You say a lot of true and powerful things about hip hop here, and I really like the piece overall.| Posted on 2008-02-21 00:00:00 | by Raistlin Sith | [ Reply to This ] | Decent not the best pieces of rhymes of seen but it's decent. it's truth i hate souljsboy, his songs demean wemon and just are dumb as it is. Truth is something you can never criticize cause with your rhymes and all, i'm right there with you mentally. I've been saying this for years. | | Posted on 2008-02-21 00:00:00 | by AeThe Lost Poet | [ Reply to This ] | |
