http://allpoetry.com/Poem/1878844This is a poem I wrote! I hope you all enjoy this piece! | QUOTE |
Hip Hop is a Joke Written by Don S. aka MC PM$
What ever happened to those boyz who repped the street
boom-boxes, turntables, break-dancing to the beat
what ever happened to those thugged out lyrical poets
envisioning a live better than what this concrete could ever show it
what ever happened to emcees battlin', spittin'' on wax
I guess the industry wants to blind us to these facts
I write this poem, for revelation, as it was my hope
but, my only conclusion is that HIP HOP IS A JOKE!
to be honest, I can't stand this bullshit on the television
nnggaz fronting with shit that ain't even theirs, a complete in-precision
back in my day, the whole world can be summarized in a rhyme
now all that matters is making a couple mil and a dime
what ever happened to these descriptive hardcore lyrics
now all I hear is how they want to sip imported spirits
the beats are all too simple now, the content is cliche
suburban whiggers now fronting like it's ML King day
the streets that I once felt is gone, the damage is done
rap today is crap, and their excuse it's for fun
back in my day, it's was making a dollar out of nothing
now a days, it's about making all dollars while fronting
you know what, you can't make a lot of money selling the truth
originality or consistency, does not apply to today's youth
that's why you see all them sellouts, who once were ghetto proud
who now rock their shows like industry puppets living loud
and that's exactly the way that these suburbian executives want it
them industry bastards leeching off our hood like counterfeit
It never really mattered, if it was east side or west coast
yet an industry fabricated the issue, in their office making a toast
I am often criticized for not looking or acting like they do
sporting regular clothing, not none of that Roca-Wear and Fubu
now a days I am criticized by the fakers if I'm actually from the street
I bet they don't know that we used to struggle everyday for something to eat
still you idiots are hating, trying discredit and bash me
like Tone-Toca, I shall say, KRS-One is my philosophy
I wasn't always acting black, but I knew where I came from
the same place most of these nnggaz was made, not the JC Penny and Nordstrom
Truth is, you don't know me and you don't know who I am
yet you expect me to be some kind of ghetto street brand
I don't wear your trends, or go to your bullshit club nights
I'm out there with the prostitutes, pimps, hustlers, and street fights
in this rhyme, I will proceed to call out some existing names
whether I give props or disrespect, well I guess that's the name of the game
you know it's a shame that most won't really understand
so I suppose a few examples might just give me a hand
in reality, the street life was never my source of cash
it was once best explained by Grandmaster Flash
when he came up with "The Message" the view was truthful and artistic
and now every one in the game is just two bit, greedy, and materialistic
I guess it doesn't take much to sell a million record copies
the production of a gimmick placed on top of a willingly able body
I guess that's why I see the face of rap today being Eminem
countering Vanilla Ice with comic raps, I think this guy is feminine
why does this guy sell records and allowed to rap about anything
yet all them other n*ggaz is reduced to rapping about bling
I guess white corporate America can't relate to a black man
rapping about his issues with his mom and how he has a mock murder plan
I thought with the underground, I would almost find peace
but then the worst had happened with the Black Eyed Peas
before Fergie, they used to come with the most original shit I heard
rapping bout, positivity, originality, the most honest art using word
but then I suppose they started to questioned their income
since keeping it fresh and creative was no longer considered fun
so I suppose the label decided to add an edge
to keep the group's career from going off a ledge
they decide to add a blonde, blue eyed, lady swinger
who had her background once as a female pop singer
Stacey Ferguson came in, starting to look hip
she kinda now looked like J-Lo, a significant makeover flip
and now the group is enjoying multi-platinum album plaques
and Grammy awards, billboard hits, shit they should have had in their first wax
I understand their need to survive and feed their children
but don't expect me to respect the art form they're missing
I always try to elevate, move on, and become a man
but I never forgetting the streets where I was bred was the plan
I don't want to live out in your model American suburbs
where white folk act like your values and etiquette is absurd
now you got them whiggers coming out of their houses
fronting with battle raps about shitting all over their spouses
why don't you come to the hood and talk your nonsense there
just one glimpse to these white boys would create erections in their hair
Even though I don't agree completely, Ray Benzino is right
hip hop has turned into a cash cow for the white
I think he got the right idea, but used The Source as his bread
perhaps I should educate you to a battle rhyme where he once said
"what do you know about a grand jury indictment//
as far as I'm concerned, you're just industry excitement"
I used to be someone who listened to mix-tapes and records
various underground artists, turntable remixes, and credibility reports
now I'm almost ashamed to admit that I was a part of the culture
seeing how these suckers act like they vultures
In-fact this one time I was working as a corporate party DJ
and this really dumb broad decided to come request hits up my way
she wanted to hear some tracks that she considered hip hop
and I had no problem cuing up a song that had no influence in shit pop
I started to spin "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash
and this dumb bitch started to act like an ass
she said that she wanted to hear some shit that was 'hip hop'
unbeknown to her that what I was spinning one of the the realest shit to drop
she then bitched some more about wanting to hear the shit radio airplay
and then I got mad pissed since that the radio really had nothing to display
I told her to fuck off and go suck on a pinky ring
that belonged to a commercial gangsta tryin' to do his thing
you see, you have fake bastards who can't write 2 bars worth a line
who trying to come up with their fake thug shit, trying to waste our time
fronting with gold and platinum, some cheap excuse to flash bling
20 inch rims, nice cars, singing, looking for a cheap fling
In-fact, I find nothing wrong with flashing the bling, showing success
but to be honest, the message was completely lost turning the art-form into a mess
all of this bullshit to me is completely unacceptable
I wonder how much these posers would think these actions regrettable
because of this nonsense, I have almost abandoned rap
starting to listen to music which I once considered crap
the downfall of hip hop, has now sparked new interests
in 80's New Wave Synth pop, glam rock, and singers with Real Breasts
why do you think I started writing sorts of various poetic curses
eventually I will turn them to raps in the most descriptive verses
I still listen to rap, but realistically only tracks recorded before '96
since to me that was the year that hip hop just started to get glits
the complete year of downfall (to me) was 2002
that's when the industry perfected it's message untrue
so here I am saying it, hip hop is a complete JOKE
a lie, a whore, bastard, a cheap excuse for a toke
it's not to be taken as a reference to your life
especially when you haven't even touched a bit of real street trife
there's more to be said, but for now this message is done
in-fact this is just a form for what I consider part 1
