    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

    beautiful. You have tied in our culture with the struggle just
    to make it. How our neighborhoods gotta hustle n grind just
    have a piece of the pie because that's all we know n believe in.
    Any hustle and every hustle is... a hustle. I like how you embraced
    this subject. Nice. Very nice.

    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...

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it. It was kind of long. I usually only write 20-24 based on how much time, but yes. Thanks again.

    that states all that can be said you did a real nice peace and id like to work with you sometime if you would like.
    to love something,is to die for it ,if you do, your a martyr , but these days music is morbid, false carters ..prohet's for prophet no lie, look how our last martyr was crucified. to put it in it symplicity, you aint true...you wouldnt sacrifice a few dollars for authenticity..

    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, 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.

    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

    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

    Ignore the comments, giving everything one hundred percent


    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.
