    Issues

    I just finished this and will post links 2morrow, it's just almost 4 in the morning and I'm like red-eyed tired over here. Felt somewhat inspired to write something... hope ya like it, reader.




    Issues




    All these thoughts come back to me happily,
    Half of me just feels lost down the path of the apathy,
    Rappin' so casually, Laughin' at Africa's atrophy,
    Put a cap in me, Nothin's more sad than a tragedy,
    Every catastrophe's actually just what we needed,
    Love is conceded, Before we win we must be defeated,
    Fuck it, I'm weeded, no drinks crazy with no shrinks,
    This whole thing's just one fucked-up reason to show chinks
    in the armor... I couldn't be --- any calmer,
    She's a goner, I switch on like Jeffrey Dalmer...
    Cannibal? I'm a mechanical animal,
    This logical topical brain bottled unstoppable phantom will
    Be unable to handle hell labeled, "CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE!"
    Poppin' a Zanifil and smokin' pot from a cantaloupe,
    I'm sick and this shit is the antidote,
    Every lyric I've written's like spittin' in Santa's throat!
    I can't stand to cope!
    ...So I forget my issues,....
    I'm done cryin', Kleenex, Guess you shoulda kept the tissues...


    I'm at the point between breaking and shattering,
    Blanking or mattering, An ugly painting or flattering,
    Gathering confidence, Capture the audience,
    I won't quit til this shit is in scriptures and monuments,
    This shit is so ominous, it's like the gift is fading...
    Misbehaving ---it switched, got pissed and it's eviscerating
    My insides, Since I'm debating these six knives
    A couple of wrists one twist and I just dive
    Into the darkness, I'm laughin' cuz it tickles my armpits,
    I just died and someone's already kickin' my carcass!!!
    That's how it feels when noone's your real friend,
    Closed in a steel pen while we float in concealment,
    I'm a sympathy seeker, but I won't give it back to you,
    Ask me Boo, out of what I've told you less than half is true,
    Shit, I'm a bastard, too --- cold-blooded and ruthless,
    Fuck Mother Goose this is more like Family Guy Pewterschmidts,
    Whacky and Zany --- I don't have to explain me,
    Actor on stage three, I'm too big for my past to contain me,
    Actually, maybe it fits fine --- it's a cliff climb ---
    Just like the fifth rhymes with the sixth line,
    But which sign do you follow? What do you trust?
    The issues behind you or the ones coming up?

    Holy shit dude, this rhymescheme was fucking beastly! It seriously sounded like lyrics to a Eminem song. I won't lie, and not like some new Eminem song.... but it reminded me of "Way I Am" a lot. Which was cool. You seemed like just a really pissed off person writing this man. You had some really badass wordplay going on here. A lot of very creative concepts in here. Just an overall badass read. Hall of Fame for sure. Keep it up dude.

    ^^lmao
    whats good you fucking psychopath haha. I really enjoyed this shit, havent read anything by you in a little bit, flow was top notch, and i could practically hear it as i was reading. alot of dope lines with nice wording in there man, not fitting any deep specifics into it about your personal issues. you still kept the topic in clear viewpoint for me, that you indeed have issues to deal with. your issues seems like they're not part of you as you are with them. probably was high as shit writing this, as it should be, if you drop like this man. I also liked how you fit the problems of your past into it and to be measured by it. nice read fam.

    Re: Issues

    lol @ smokin bud n a cantelope

    really consistant verses, solid rhyme scheme
    good progression.......

    the amount of different topics in here was what I liked the best
    every line I read I didnt know what to expect the next line since
    the idea's in each one went to so many diff places it was a
    really enjoyable read.....it made for a good tempo as well
    especially with the multi's setting a pretty quick pace

    lookin forward to reading more from u....



    stay up^

    Re: Issues

    Overall I think, as usual this was a very technically sound and nice piece of writing from you Eng. The rhyme schemes dope, the flows on point and coupled with the multis is sick, reminds me of the way I usually write. As far as technicals go, you know you covered them, and you know that you know what you're doing.

    Now the content, the content was exactly what the title of the piece said it would be about, issues, and you did a great job of displaying which issues you personally view in which ways. I can relate to some of this shit, and that's always a plus to me, as a reader - I won't quote what I think was 'hot' because honestly, it'd take less space to quote the shit that was GOOD, but not as dope as the rest, which was maybe 2 to 4 lines. You really drove the point home with the way this ended and the connection to that picture as well, props for that.

    If you could, drop some feed on any or if you're in the mood more than one of these links, it would be much appreciated and respected feed.

    ^^^reaaaallly fucking dope.. and I love how this piece took the turn it did. at first it was real comical, you actually directly spoke to the kleenex company with that line and it made me laugh lol.. lines all through there were pretty good. then as you got to the end, you started getting real serious, the tone of the piece went from "laugh it up fellas" to "okay, now here's my point guys.." really smoothe shit.. the point was strong, the ending lines were the strongest in the entire read imo.. and it just was a very fluid read my man.. love reading your shit and it's always a pleasure.. not a bad read at all, duke.


    get at mine and SyaNidal's new collabo, Righting the Write.. should be on the top/middle of the page by the time you read this comment.. but word man, again, good read.

    Re: Issues

    This is hands down one of the best pieces I have ever read. The flow and rhymes were so on point I was having fun reading this. When I entered the post I was planning on breaking it up to give you feed on little sections, but it wouldn't be worth it because every line you killed it. If I was asked to point out my favorite line I would just quote the hole song. For real, your work is amazing, can't wait to see more from you.

    sick fucking multies, and use of words. I have to say did remind me as well of an Eminem type joint, but still very well written.
