old school hip hop

i made this while listening to kendrick lemar. who has an old school feel to his rhythm. but yeah this was off the top of my head.

old school hip hop

I call it hypnotize

portraits in sentences

exercising my eyes and mind.

mixing lyrics like an alchemist

creating potions with poetry

knocking me out like a right hook from Ali

leaving me in shock an awe like a mortar strike.

on the floor staring at the ceiling

while the party pumps without me.

messing with interpretations like its a puppy

or is it messing with me?

barking melodies with understandings

deeper than the craters on the moon.

zero gravity

floating on the rhythm of the syllables

let down softly with the voice of ill skills. 

old school hip hop....

freeing minds like Morpheus on weed.

Ain't no school like the oldschool. I never really liked much hip hop but I can respect your opinion and this was a good poem expressing it. Kudos bro

I remember seeing the video for Shut em down for the first time when I was like 10 or 11. It was loaded with black radicalism and antiwhite retoric. Scary. At the time I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen in my life. Then NWA with Straight outa Compton. "Crazy motha f***a named ice cube/ in a gang called niggaz with attitudes/when I'm called off/ I got a sawed off/ Sqeeze the trigger and the bodies are hauled off. / You too boy if you f**k with me/ THe police will have to come get me/off your a*s that's how I'm goin out/ for a punl muthe f***a that's showin out. Wow, I still remember it.
