Open Mic: Can the phoenix rap?

   Is hip hop like Marxism in its Soviet stage

A Bastardized Movement locked in a Cage

Is the dream over, has the Morning come

Where is the next generation? banging that drum

Wheres the tunes that makes us get up of it ?

Budden's trying to be a prophet but to many trying to make a profit

I cant be a hater, cant say the newcomers are wack

But sumin is wrong when album of the year is the Notorious soundtrack

Wheres the tadpoles straining for air, the new stuff is fucking appalling

 Pac was Marx and Big was Trotsky, we aint got Stalin but we are staling

We become obsessed with beats, sacrificing lyrics and flows

Rappers talking about topics less real than reality shows

 used to bow to the old school,saw them as pure like Jesus mother

But then i saw, Collio on celebrity Big Brother

We had Pun rapping so hard he had heart attack

Now we got rappers on adverts and that's just wack

Hip Hop used to be the Philosophy of music searching for truth

But now people calling Wayne the greatest so whats the fucking use

Hip Hop had its Plato and Kant full of thought it was legit

But now Hip Hop is like Theology based on a load of shit

will Rap get its Christ destined to be stuck in the side with spears

Lets face it, it ain't Nas he aint had a dope Cd for over ten years

Tech had two dope Lp's but now it appears all a stunt

And jigga sold his lyricism so he could get beyonce's Cunt

People worship the underground but that makes me pissed

They all like Christians waiting for a saviour who don't exist

The Pattern with Marxism cant continue would leave my soul torn

Ask yourself one question, are you the emcee to make hip hop reborn

	lmao @ can't be a hater then saying "the new stuff is appallin" "less real than reality shows" is pretty dope...like ironic in a way, liked the "Big Pun rapping so hard he had a heart attack" too... skips over Nas comment Closer was coolio...decent versage man

	We become obsessed with beats, sacrificing lyrics and flows Rappers talking about topics less real than reality shows Best bit of the verse for me. This was real cool man, I also like the searching for truth/Wayne bar cause it's exactly how I feel lol only thing I picked up on was no multis, try incorperating them in, it improves flow and readability of the verse. Good job though.
