No reason to write...

Ain’t got no reason to write...
Ain’t got no reason to write...
Ain’t got no reason to write...
So I don’t...won’t...leave a less than Legendary blight.
A spot on my rep from an ill-advised step...
.............................Could tarnish my image of might.
And ain’t it all about image anyway?
Fuck the words on the page...
It’s more of an “Am I still dope?” survey.
Who’s checkin my work, is it just the new jerks...
Or are the vets stopping by for a quench of their thirst?
Do I still provide what’s strived for? Am I still some kind of idol?
Are my verses still considered vital, providing gospel like a bible?
Or was that all just “back when”...
When I had something to prove to a bunch of non-men?
Boys who’ve grown...to now having kids themselves...
It’s funny how they wanted in my zone...
Yet, now...pretty much have rhyme on the shelf.
That, in itself, is distracting...
Makes me feel like what’s real is fasting.
Hungry for what’s everlasting...
Praise from peers cuz you’re so impacting.
It’s like dozens of pens have run out of ink...
Cascades of keyboards, all on the blink.
Countless heads unable to think...
While words of rhyme circle the sink.
Cuz, trust...despite rust...they don’t wanna die...
They don’t wanna wash away, rhyme was meant to fly.
To flow like a river, open up into ocean...
Remove life’s slivers and heal with emotion.
To relay life like a baton...
Have you know what my shoes feel like on.
To tell stories of horror, while assuring you’re safe...
Unveil my heart’s sorrow while remembering her face.
To drop knowledge despite no college...
Extend a branch, when it’s got to be olive.
To stand your ground with a vicious OM...
Or come together for a collab with an old friend.
All this shit’s past...like we’re a bunch of seniors...
Everyone grown fat, retirement home demeanors.
Telling war stories, saying “you wasn’t here when”...
Discounting current glory, like advancement had to end.
That’s why...I...
Ain’t got no reason to write...
Ain’t got no reason to write...
Ain’t got no reason to write.

Damn born I havent seen you drop since SS in 05...

Im glad to see you write again. And with that said im sad to see you not having any reason to write. Before that i must say i enjoyed the piece. The realness of it from your point of view yet it relates with many vets among the board. The flow was very good with an exception of a couple spots and the topic was original because most dropping have reasons to lol. I liked how you were able to flip your life upon RB into an emotional yet very true OM. With that said Im sad about your topic and views overall. I understand what you were sayin with the No reason to write..like you feel like youve done it all and noone really appreciates it almost. So my advice to you Born would be write because YOU love(if you do) to, not for anyone else. Shit your one of my fav writers Ill always leave feed for ya man..

Overall it was a good piece I just didnt like your message because i dont want you to stop writing born. But stay up man. Glad to see you at least drop again..

please RTF:

I suppose this was all in response to the ledgends arguments going on about COM... or whatever... I dunno I don't really care about all that mess where the most elitist and biased opinions on the site come together for an orgy of ignorant malice... basically, those kids wouldn't know talent if it tackled them into a brick wall, man, nobody wants to admit that they're not as good, especially those who are pretty good but certainly a tier or two down from what I think should be considered great, and its those people that constantly put good writers down or find reasons not to like their work. The best writers on this site usually compliment eachother, and then the people who are really good but not quite so good as them will ignore the talent and tell eachother in their crew forums how dope they are, that's kind of how it is, and I know how mad it must make you, too, not to be given due respect by people who really have no business telling you how good your accomplishments were or were not. The piece was solid, man, I felt the emotion, the discontentment with the board, the rub-it-in-your-face to the "vets" and a "you're not as good as you think," to the new crew kids... very satisfying read, man...

I get slept on a lot, too, dude, getting my dues took a long time and then when I think I've earned respect I start losing matches that I shouldn't because noone wants to believe I'm as good as the reputation I gave myself, and the same goes for you... people look at your work trying to find a reason to tell themselves they can do better, you're flawed, you're whatever they want to believe, but fuck it all, dude, at least that attitude got your fire going again... whatever it takes, i say...

Keep it real, BTK... always respected ya even if u think I didn't... I don't try to take away from anybody, dude, I try to be the best, true, and I set my sights really high for writing, but I'm not gonna bash a good writer to make myself feel good. It's writers like you that push me to be the best I can be, and its good to see you writing real thoughts. No RTF or nothing I don't care, keep it real.

my heart is warmed... when I thought OM was full of shit... you go and do something like this... and TOTALLY redeem yourself... nice joint here man... nice. Big ups.

[Born To Kill]

Thank you, gentlemen...

[Judge Judy]

being that i haven't been active for 2 years, im glad to see you still here and writing.

good read.

Or are the vets stopping by for a quench of their thirst?
Do I still provide what’s strived for? Am I still some kind of idol?
Are my verses still considered vital, providing gospel like a bible?

^lol. new jerks. i like these 2 bars the most. especially the second. shit was fire. flow was on point too.

^dope closer born.overall, i liked it. i wish you dropped more often born, but hey, people got shit to do.

stay strong, peace.

[H.Notik]

so new jerks would equal myself I take it?

hmmm being that i was on this site from say 98/99 to 01, hopefully i wouldnt be put in that class...my pieces prove that.

regardless..

this was a good piece. I dont much about the happenings on this site recently but I still connected with the piece and enjoyed it, it all came together very nicely at the end. good shit.

i'll be on the look out for more of your stuff..... good read!

keep building..

[Ace of Aces]

cool stuff homie. was really feeling it. Haven't seen you drop in ages but glad I have checked this one out. it does seem like everyone is writing about writing now days. strange. the flow kept up all the way through and you were consistent with your concept so you pretty much drilled that it into. everything came together pretty well at the end with a nice setup that you had. I bet a lot of people agree with you on this, about why we write and stuff. hopefully thats not what its all about for most.

Anyone else?

I know HOF probably isn't that big a deal @ this point in your, shall I say,"Net Career", but this piece, in my opinion, is definitely worth it! I definitely enjoyed it -- from top to bottom. It's just the content that makes this piece so striking, it's like a summary of how a lot of us feel, but expressed and articulated in a lyrically impressive manner. I mean you really hit the nail on the head with this one old man (lol). Seriously, the sarcastic vibe intwined with the inquisitive nature of this piece was just golden. And so too were the just the mechanics in general. The flow was all but faultless - for the most part. And your scheme and stream of multi's moved along without so much as slip up or glitch. Just impressive!


Anyway, on a more personal note I definitely agree with you. I think that there are a lot of people or better yet members, on this site that like to downplay the skills and accomplishments of others to make themselves seem more relevant. I also find it mildly amusing that the majority of people that do that seem to be people that haven't battle, written an OM, or dropped an audio since the, quote, unquote, "Glory Days of Rb"![/I ]It's absolutely hilarious how kids that don't have 1/4th of the talent you possess feel that they are in some sort of privilege position that allows them the authority to dismiss, discredit, and reject your work without giving it proper dues and acknowledgement. It's like RB wants to be stuck in the past or something. It's like no one's name that doesn't rhyme with, people, clit, ounce, peek, Sharon, or install have the right to be considered dope or Legendary worthy. I mean just because they might have set the bar, doesn't mean that the baton can't be passed. Anyway, I'm ranting. Loved the verse by the way ... as if you couldn't tell. LoL ... Check it!

^Nothing special, but very significant to the piece as a whole.The chant is actually kind of inspiring. Sort of makes me want to drop my pen right now and say fuck it, I QUIT!!! So good job sucking the reader in by saying almost nothing at all. LOL

^I wanted to reply to more concise lines and ideas, but it's almost in impossible to separate and segregate one line from the next. It all just fit together so perfectly, both in rhyme and in concept. So Hmmm ... I guess all I can really say is ... I feel you!!!

^I would tell you to become a preach, but I'm not sure of your denomination or your religion. But one thing is for damn sure, you definitely spoke the gospel with those lines. But huh ...keep the insight flowing dude. Your rants are wildly entertaining.



All in all Born, this was ill as fuck. No need in me repetitively telling you the something over and over, you know what it is. Stay up man! Oh and ...

I wouldn't mind even a smidget of feed on this piece. It's long, but honestly quite worth it (IMO).
