    Temptations: Note by Note

    Temptations: Note by Note

    You’re tempted to leave…

    Describe to me please, the definition of heartbreak
    Singing to the trees, reason of treason, a heart ache
    Mingle, to the jingle, with my girl, standing by me
    Ranting, to the rant of the streets, no matter what I see
    Chanting, to classics, told me their oldies, almost Jurassic
    Pounding, around me, the echo of which is thoracic
    Fact finding, fuck grinding, I’ll slow dance to bliss
    Don’t mind me; I’m timing, the luck of a perfect kiss
    Musical gods', moderation, needs to put in this generation
    Lighting rod’s don’t attract as much as your old foundation


    Sing to me, and please never stop…
    …Ring the songs that cease to rock
    To the top, on my block, to the park…
    …Produce more love than Noah’s Ark


    Raise, the rise of the unblind eyes, staring through time
    Cage, the demise, of your talent, your voice, your mind
    Singing with vocals, that could total Aretha’s voice box
    My motto, is to model, a hand, that can stop a clock
    Memorizing every dieing, glamorous song of yours
    The corrupt erupted new wave of songs, generates a blur
    Diving into your records, of record setting singles
    Can't give me a single reason to not let my body tingle
    I recognize your decade of ruling the musical world
    As I realize my age wrecked the love of My Girl


    Hip Hop took away…
    …What used to be hip
    We used to hop all day…
    …Now we hop with a limp


    Temptation to be patient, listening to what you wrote
    The Temptations dazzled me singing each..note by note


    …But I refuse to let you go

    This was impressive, I liked this. The first thing I noticed was the way you set it out, with the font & whatever, the way you produced it into text. I was really impressed & pleasently surprised by that, you have a good eye, thats the type of thing that makes me, if only me, want to read something. If you've taken the time to make it look right, surely people should take the time to read it right?
    The feeling I got from this entire thing was it was wrote to be spoken, hence the broken up sentences & the continuity of the verses, the rhymescheme wasn't complex, it was simple, something you could both read & say out loud easily. I liked the first verse more because of some of the vocabulary used, certain attention-grabbing words & sentences, not taking anything away from the latter verse, but the first one got me wanting to read this more. I liked the way you changed the flow to split the piece up, too, that was nicely done. In all honesty, the storyline threw me a little, & I got quite confused at parts, a little work on the storytelling could work well, & a couple more multi's would help it flow a little better too, but it stood out as it did.


    Overall, a fine piece to read, well-written,
    Well done.

    Good Luck, Mr. Christopher Goggins.

    cool. pretty nice choice of words in this, the emotion was excedeing fa'sho. a bit more in-depth as i kept reading which kept my interest. the overall message about the rap game right now is a message thats been blatantly used over and over since nas' hip hop is dead. but you kept on this topic pretty well and i liked the little hooks that were added inbetween to spice things up. g'd drop

    This was a tight line right here. I liked the structure of the verses and the message was good. This was a nice read all the way through.

    hmmm this was nice...

    you had a special almost audio like flow going on... the topic however.. has been done a million times, and no offense but your take on it wasn't all that creative either, im not saying this was bad... just that its been done, however your wording and flow created a great peice, the emotion was strong (obviously) im not sure if this was from personal experience. usually it is with a peice like that... and i got respect for this one. great work its good to see some dope new heads.

    Twix.

    Played topic dood, but other then that i enjoyed. This peice was pretty impresive from not knowing u were around. The emotion was awesome, The change between the stanzas, or the subject change was decent. I get the seperate topics now. imagery wasnt all that good, seeing how it felt like a personal thing, but this was still cool.

    I Enjoyed, G.Job
