Conscious rap



the first and last atmosphere song I loved... I can still rap this word for word, and did at some random NA meeting


It's the caffeine, the nicotine, the milligrams of tar
It's my habitat, it needs to be cleaned, it's my car
It's the fast talk they use to abuse and feed my brain
It's the cat box, it needs to be changed, it's the pain
It's women, it's the plight for power, it's government
It's the way you're given knowledge, slow with thought control and subtle hints
It's rubbing it, it's itching it, it's applying cream
It's the foreigners sightseeing with high beams, it's in my dreams
It's the monsters that I conjure, it's the marijuana
It's embarrassment, displacement, it's where I wander
It's my genre, it's Madonna's videos
It's game shows, it's cheap liquor, blunts, and bumper stickers with rainbows
It's angels, demons, gods, it's the white devils
It's the monitors, the soundman, it's the motherfucking mic levels
It's gas fumes, fast food, Tommy Hil', and mommy's pill
Columbia House Music Club, designer drugs, and rhyming thugs
It's bloods, crips, fives, six
It's stick up kids
It's Christian conservative terrorists, it's porno flicks
It's the east coast, no it's the west coast
It's public schools, it's asbestos
It's mentholated, it's techno
It's sleep, life, and death
It's speed, coke, and meth
It's hay fever, pain relievers, oral sex, and smoker's breath
It stretches for as far as the eye can see
It's reality, fuck it, it's everything but me

[Hook]
On and on and on and on
The list goes on and on and on and on
It's all according that life on a whole

It's in the water, it's in the air, it's in the meat
It's indirect, indiscrete, inconsistent, incomplete
It's in the streets, every city and everywhere you go
In every man it's the insanity, the fantasy, the casualties
It's the health care system, it's welfare victims
It's assault weapons, it's television religion, and it's false lessons
It's cops, police, pigs with badges, guns, and sticks
It's harassment and a complex you carry when you're running shit
It's wondering if you get to eat, it's the heat
It's the winter, the weather
It's herpes, and it's forever
It's the virus that takes the lives of the weak and the strong
It's the drama that keeps on between me and my seed's mom
It's that need to speak long, it's that hunger for attention
It's the wack, who attack songs of redemption
It's prevention, It's the first solution
It's loose, it's out for retribution
It's mental pollution, and public execution
It's the nails that keep my hands and feet to these boards
It's the part time job that governs what you can afford
It's the fear, it's the fake
It's clear it can make time stop
And leave you stranded in the year of the snake
It's the dollar, yen, pound, it's all denominations
It's hourly wages for your professional observations
It's on your face and it's in your eyes
It's everything you be
Cause it ain't me, motherfucker, cause it ain't me, uh

You the shit!* Spitting some fresh bars at a meeting, that's beyond fresh.

*Don't be offended, please. Where I come from, that is a complement. @Zopiclone bandit knows what I'm talkin' about.
 


@MydriHaze Aesop rock is definitely one of my favorites and very influential on me. I know all his songs. Blockhead is dope too!

"Share crumbs with a drum until I lay in a tomb, vroom" dope line
 
Ah Backwoodz Studioz, i'm familiar with this label since i'm a big fan of Armand Hammer, athough i don't know Blockhead very well except for 3or4 dope productions.

Aesop Rock i don't know very well, i love his texts and his flows, i have more difficulty with his voice, gotta be in the mood to listen to it perso, but he still dope to me no doubt, and he began a long time ago like in the 00's hiphop renaissance i believe and even have collaborate with Immortal technique if i don't say bs, so much respect to the man. A friend of mind was totally wtf when i make him listen to the Spirit World Field Guide :love:


"I can't promise anything
It's pills to help you sleep
It's ill, but you're like krill in that cold deep
Alcohol seep out the pores like gills
Air squeeze out the ocean floor
Leviathan swim with open jaw"

Listened to this in Amsterdam at the cannabis cup back in '07 I believe. Good memories
Never been there, i remember when i was a teenager/young adult, everybody said that it was the goat and all because of the drugs/prostitution statut, but i passed the feeling of needing to go there, now i want 'dam and its laws to go to me instead..... :sleep:

Otherwise Del isn't a real emcee, many are those who made this error, he's a true shaman, after 30yrs of this game he's still pure dope as he was when he started:

I remember when I visited seeing some UK kids on the planes/trains and realized - at least 15 years ago - it was the spot even for EU people.

I'm sure it's changed since then. When I went even American tourists could buy mushrooms and peyote and shit at the smart shops.

It's sad how many tourists trashed the city. I wasn't one of them. I was too busy trying to read the alien language on the street sign high out of my mind trying to find my hotel
