Modern Man's Hustle

Modern Man’s Hustle

The crops of mutinies...the ones who are under lots of scrutiny
And not just you and me...the ones not given the opportunities
Viewing the block and use the streets...at loss in communities
Profiting fluently...plotting with options and Cops are useless see,
Polished as you can be...flexing, the one who hints and carries the muscle
Making a presence as a Man in the contemporary Hustle
But the glimpse is scary as fuck though..every ounce, counts as tension
Pushing pounds through towns is endless..bootleggin and counterfeiting
Few pleasant, but around the image...try to live a righteousness path
Buying this crap, Implying we have because they're cutting prices in half
And yet we trying to grasp...this meager plan with intentions for more
Modernized Peter Pan's....who take from the rich and give to the poor
Then putting a grip in the stores...a prized art for those taking
Selling mixtapes and CDs...Ipods and North Faces
A poor statement...but it's all pride, rely on decisions
Eyes on the witness..and they see the survival through vision
No advice, we like their position...illegalized, fighting the system
Dealers dealing the highest of feelings and then providing prescriptions
Some dying, the sickness...weed, crack, SUPPLYING the victims
And we back to square one, and now we trying to kill them..
Hypocrites designing to fit them...a devoted attendance
Selling crack and heroin and then open a business
So focus, dependent..keep going 'til they find the right one
To shine some...everybody's known to get their grind on
Despite some...but no matter what choice, you know it's a blessing
From Kanye to Bill Gates...you always know your direction
Know what's expected...never doing what's redudant and shit
Ignore the comments, giving everything one hundred percent
An accomplishment...put in work from the streets to offices
Through dreams or colleges...through schemes or politics
What's it mean to acknowledge this..? Be apart of it first..
Do it all for its worth and always put your heart in your work
And if u fall for the worst...quit? don't bother if its been rough though..
Cuz everyone has to struggle..it's the Modern Man's Hustle

You can really milk a topic Nique and I mean that in a good way.
I get your reference to doing issues with purpose rather than OM's
with a story.

The paragraph I highlighted was just nice as hell. Because IMO
your voice was at its best here. I can vision you writing this
like any other piece but its got that edge on you because
its something your really feeling.. and thats what I pick up
when reading it. I love that when reading a piece.
Knowing that the writer had as much excitement as me
when writing it. Quality.

As for the piece as a whole, it was pretty fucking dope.
You stood with a message and rode it out...
no distractions aor anything. & most of this a lot
of us can relate to because we see it every day of our
lives. Nice...

atmosphere?

Pretty good and interesting drop. You word usage was nice..Very entertaining verse and great topic coverage. You lines were very easy to read and this story was described down to a T.

yeah i was just noticing the title... nothing more... ill edit this into feed later :P.

I'm in the RSTL and they choose song titles as topics sometimes, so this might be Atmosphere's title. I don't listen to him though.

yeah word son that joint was hot keep up the good work aight man, im lookin forward to ur next drop aight

Yeah, this is dope material.

A lot of quality shit here.. too much for me to quote but yeah, the content is definitely hot, and the quality it nice.

Yeah, that's whats up.. my favorite lines of the entire piece but like I said it's really hard for me to even choose lines, cause all of it was pretty much nice, nothing was bad or horrid, which I'm pleased with. I just caught an entire hardcore feeling, or in other words vibe from this. Hard flow too.

Real dope piece here.

I really liked this one. I felt it coulda been fleshed out a little more, but you covered a lot of husslin. You covered the desperate and paranoid state of husslin perfectly wit spot on imagery and detail as always. I was feelin this the most

That stood out the most. And also the part bout the Ipods and North Faces cuz you went away from the stereotype of husslin drugs into talkin bout other things. The multis really drew attention. The only thing I didn't like bout it was that it was so straightforward. There was no twist like I seen in ya other OMs. Other than that, it was direct and detailed enough to deliver a good OM. Keep at it.

^Word, I no longer to stories, no twists though. Lol.

Nice Piece I Felt Really Man

Overall
10/10 Nuttin Much To Say

That stood out the most to me. This whole piece was nice tho. I`m diggin` your rhyme scheme. The way you make it work fluidly too. Ur not forcin` it and messin` up the content.
