Opiate

[Chris Black]

Opiate

*trapped in thought before the performance begins*

Brought up and groomed, by prophets of doom
As an object, with whom, to deposit the gloom-
Product that fumes from their optics. I loomed-
In the shy depths of my mind, locked in a room
Busting my fist on an unmoving wall. Using all-
I had, to abuse the hall that held the soothing call-
Of the crowd behind it. Which brought suspense.
Then the wall faded, & I met with the audience

*steps onto the stage & points mic at the crowd*
Wick-ed!.. Wick-ed!.. Wick-ed!.. Wick-ed!..

As my adrenalin pumps, I begin with a grunt
Sending the front, into a frenzy. The thumps-
Of the kicks take hold, and I start to spit shit
And get lost in the intense bliss that this sent-
Through my mind as I rhyme with a sick lisp,
Taking shots at fellow MCs, on my shit list..
Already hype & loud, but it ignites the crowd.
The righteous howl when the DJ stops the beat.
“1 song down, 12 to go, niggas. I like the heat!”
That comment made the audience just flip,
As the next beat drops, I can see that I love this.
After fives songs, my shirt drips persperation
So I remove it, to the many women’s ovation-
No waiting, I throw it in the crowd & keep goin’.
I keep flowing with this simple, but deep notion
That peeps know when you give everything..
Then the crowd blurs out and this scary ring-
Linger in my ear, but I keep spitting the track..
But then I get dizzy, and my vision is black

*The crowd is gone, and no sound exist, except Wicked’s voice*

Still seeing black, but, now, hearing no beat,
As the horrible realization grows deep...
My sight comes in & I’m back at the hall wall,
Rapping, but no longer hearing them all call.
Still dizzy, but to rap, I’m a slave, bruh,
Then my mic slowly turns into a wave brush.
Not gassed now, and my rap voice is past shouts
I’m dripping wet, & naked before I passed out.
I lye shaking on the floor, and the day streams.
Opiate; the hour of heaven in a daydream

[Chris Black]

Writer’s Note: I used to rap intoa wave brush when I was younger and imagine having a crowd. Most of the time, in a mirror when noone was home. It was my way to leave the fucked up life we lead, and for that 30 minuted to an hour, I would be in heaven. I’d often be dehydrated and completely exhausted before the end, but I loved it. Most of the times it would even upset me when I was done and back to reality. :-/ Just figured I’d write something about it. I don’t know how much I like it yet, but I hope you enjoy.

This was a nice piece man...I really liked this...Nice ending, i liked that....I liked the entire piece, once i started reading it made me want to keep reading to find out the ending, nice...Nice use of multies, love those haha...But overall it was a real nice piece man, Theres nothing bad i can really say about it!

[$pitacular]

alot of multi's here... I liked this piece, the imagery was excellent and I liked the perspective. I think you may have sacrificed some parts for more multi's, which can be a downfall, but I think this piece stands well enough to pull it off. The explanation after made me re-read it, and like it even more. good shit

pz

[sue_a_side]

[Broken Skrolls]

[Foreshadow]

Dope Wicked I was feeling the wording of your lines. You did a nice job explaning yourself nice work.

[SMZ]

opening was sick and the rest off the piece maintained the tempo pretty much - flow was nice as usual - description was good - told the story almost perfectly - I could picture everything happening in easily understood chronological order - dope closer as well - top ten material...

[Prince Escobar]

Incredibly dope use of multies in the beggining, the imagery was bannanas and the fact you were able to draw a true life experience as vivid as this in rhyme was great. Flow was good but i felt it was a bit stymied and you could have drawn out the lines more but overall a very dope drop, good imagery, good storytelling, multies out the ass the only shit i felt was off was the flow, 1luv.

[Illus']

Yeah definitely, a very imagery piece.
Nice flow and structure.

can say no more but when I read
this piece I could imagine it actually happning.


Nicley done

[Wise Ways]

this was dope Wicked, the flow was superb and the content was good as well, imagery was above average also .. the twist in the end i wasn't suspecting but just made it better and gave the piece more meaning .. good read. pz.

Wicked leave some Feed on Silent Screams.

Another nice peice from you

The thing I noticed the most about this is the images it put into my head about the crowd and the dj and shit. Probably because I used to feel the same when I rapped. I felt in a whole new world for however long I rapped for. I would concentrate on the beat and the words, nothing else mattered. So yeah I relate to this.

Dope piece....

[spokenoh]

Good piece.

First things first as mentioned before, sick fuckin' flow, especially the first verse. The multi-syllablic flow was very consistent and followed a specific tempo the entire verse.
The other two verses adopted the tempo and rhyme scheme for the most part, and made this smooth as butter. Transitions were crafted well too.
I found the first verse had better vocab usage than the other two verses, and had a more grim imagery that made me prepare for a dark journey. It wasn't a dark journey though, and I was fooled by the connotation of your words. I didn't really like the topic at all, and the whole on stage theme is played out a little. I know I have done it before.
Vocab could have been more well placed, I think. Hmm, good way to start and good way to finish it, but the topical as a whole just wasn't that good for me. Sometimes it's difficult to explain this, the OM just didn't satisfy what I expected. Along with the first verse as the only section of having any metaphors.
Good Open Mic, nothing extraordinary. By 'prepetration', I think you mean 'perspiration'.
Please hit up, "Lucky Seven's" in my sig. Thank you and Peace.

[Q.S]

I like the structure, and the ending.
The piece was good over all, good vocab,good rhyming.
