"The King Of The Delta Blues".
Stranger things have happened.



If I stopped for Robert Johnson, you'd probably think I'm on some
But you don't have go to hell for the Devil to collect his ransom.
N'though he be handsome - & bold.. he still sold his soul..
..for the pluck of any string turning notes into gold.

I bet your thinking, "I've never heard of this guy!", so Ima try
To dramatise, a rap squashing mishaps, supporting false allibis.
Cuz I can straight up clarify, that on the trail of Mississippi
I tried to shake it off, but I couldn't have lost - the evil with me.
This artists easel was swifty, painting colours with black
& while the rapture attacked he was still able to capture facts
Leaving this master intact, with listeners 30 years on - devine
melody carried with time, while Satan waited at route 61 & 49.
A wives tale sublime, but true, if essence was new & packaged
A modern day musician with a story, would duely be savaged.
& his music had it, all of the bliss. Something you couldn't miss
in Led Zeppelin & the Rolling Stones, were Robert Johnsons kids.
An undying wish was his, that his legacy be protected by depths
of fire that would burn a whole in hearts & depart the best.
& now he sleeps at rest, or on the lash of a higher powers whip
he was proud to sell his soul, when people called him cowardest..
he devoured it. & made sure his cure was the power of music
Enduring reclusive, & the barred luck bestowed on the ellusive,
he was finally collected but refused.. fighting the posion
Poisoned by a man full of jelousy, but he opted to join'em.
In this pick up mission of annoyance, as they waited 20 years
For a pact they made that clearly reduced RJ's fear.
& replace it with sheer talent, to hear this man would warm
Cold hearts torn with a piercing stab in the side with a thorn.
Cuz these are the people who'll carry it on, and will be..
..begrudged with the same debt, that finally brought RJ ceased.
So when you crease your clothes, just know hearing handsome Johnson
You'll most likely pick up up the same ransom warrant.

Who knows if the Devil actually came clappin' and gave him talent,
..but it just seems to me, that stranger things have happened.

Thanks.

Yo I like dat shit keep it up

lmfao wow @ no feed at all (worth reading). Well I liked this peice, as you know since I gave it the verse of the week in SS. You told a great stroy here, the first two lines really set it up for an interesting and enjoyable read. Your flow was top notch as usual, and the emotion was felt. I really got into this peice, and you made it so that I didn't want to stop reading, which of course is a very important, and hard factor to master in a verse. So yea nice peice dude I was really feeling it, I'll nominate this for HOF. Nice shit, props.

This piece was tight...Crazy multi usage....it flowed well through out the read...The Topic was different yet interesting....I never even knew who this guy was until right now so this piece was educational as well...The imagery was mediocore yet I still seem to imagine his story as I read through it.. Overall this was the best drop I've seen in O-M in a while as far as completeness...Good shit Brix

Ah, well Brix, I have a feeling i'll never see, this piece was unoriginal, becaue you always tell a story about history, historical, nonfiction topicals, its a style to your own, and you use it wekll. your meter was even, and your rhyme scheme stayed consistant throughout. the emotion was great, notes to gold line just sold this piece to me, not much I can criticise here man, so yeah, this has already been nominated, so theres no need for me do to it. excellent piece. but

ransome/on some is forced, hoe =P

hit up my fish out water piece.

very nicely written. loved how you portrayed the entire subject, it wasn't some blabbing on about some artist, it was a great story, revealing the great life of a man. I LOVED the way you compared the devil to soul ..that was a nice comparison there. very tiight wordplay. a great topic for you, original as always ..and you took this and made it your own with those mad multies and metaphors. GREAT read.
