    Post The Truth of Hip-Hop

    times are changin, mc's rhymes rearrangin,
    strange to see us all follow after the same thing,
    idolizing hoes and AK shots at shootin ranges
    we're tangled, time for hip-hop to make some changes
    each day you see young'n's tryna be a rap star,
    wearing rags, saggin pants, knowin where gats are,
    and that star talks about stabbin someone for their wife,
    so the kid goes out hatin some guy and takes his life
    so now the kids a juve, a hated n wanted felon,
    commitin crimes doing what his rap star's tellin
    as the kids runnin through states with cops after his ass
    "should i turn myself in or see how long i could last?"
    little did he know the man he murdered was wanted too
    same story as him, he just didnt make his way through
    its pitiful the way people try to take this shit literally
    rappers usually dont mean it when they spit about killin-a-g
    but its a thriller to hear these street dreams in our ears,
    tattooed tears, with death and fear lookin in a mirror
    someday we'll find out why this is what we try to promote
    so make note--this been the truest shit i've EVER wrote

    thats some deep shit, and i reckon that your final line is the truest of the whole spit. i thought the way you worked your words was clever throughout the start and finish. it diminished a little throughout the middle but was worth it to get your message across, especially as you picked it up strongest at the end right before the powerful final line

    at the ending thats a c-murder line there.. so im not really sure if you wrote this but o well... your fault of it's c-murder's or sum other rappers lyrics.
    anywayz.. this was really good..... this is the truest shit i've heard.... rap stars do influence younger kids to do bad things like kill and shit....the shit you wrote about is possible to come true and i think maybe it has happened... great job.. liked the rhymes and multies and enjoyed reading this so much..(this is almost one of my favorites.. more improvment then i woulkd be on my fav. list) keep it up 8.5/10 have a good day

    The verse's strength was in the message. Your structure was fine, but the lines were long enough to do more with rhyming. You picked a topic that you seem comfortable with. I would have liked to see more outer multis. The rhyme scheme like the closing couplet showed promise if you would have stuck with something similar to that throghout.

    so now the kids a juve, a hated n wanted felon,
    commitin crimes doing what his rap star's tellin
    ^sad but true.

    but its a thriller to hear these street dreams in our ears,
    tattooed tears, with death and fear lookin in a mirror
    ^very well done.

    This is a very powerful topic still in today's society
    people don't recognize how influential music is to
    children and even adults for that matter...
    the rhyme scheme could've had more multi's, but
    not at the expense of the content of course.
    To be honest I thought the ending was kind of horrible
    just because I've seen it done on so many generic
    freestyles.

    hey man this was some good, deep shit. it coulda been a little bit better, but overall this was a pretty good verse. your imagery was pretty good and i was feelin the vocab and everything was good. the one thing you could work on..is struture a little bit, which doesnt matter ad much. keep it up homie

    This was a nice piece

    Some deep vocab used here sum wat dope has to be mentioned. Reading this piece i can tell you have potentiol to better yo rhymes and become dope, dnt try so hard TO MAKE SHIT RHYME=makes yo lines too long and it just sounds a drag to read. Try to express how you feel or the topic by using different set of vocab for different sets in the piece! Keep writing dawg,
    written voices makes hidden noises

    this piece was aiight but i think your rhyme scheme and vocab was too simple....it needed more complexity and more multis..your structure was average...i need you to start to stray away from tha gangsta rap thing and lean more towards a hip hop/poetic feel..more hip hop though..all in all it has potential but needs some elevation...keep droppin and elevatin.~1~
