I came from the land of…

struggle til you prosper.

the extraordinary mantra

just supported theories often

how the poorest rarely conquered

but neo-colonialism concepts

are at the forefront of this doctrine






look, I aint got the answers sway
but while this pandemic rage, I see examples range
from this is the devils plague
to the aftertaste that Eves eaten apple made.

im just tryna be a better human.
God invented the blueprint
and on occasion - we see its incredible uses
live and let live - fuck this federal nuisance

society…is…not…your…friend.
tax money funds the corporate intent
greed and the seven sins - morbid as it gets
im tryna sanitize my hands - the virus is a blip

ya average man taking advantage
of the disadvantaged
re-selling those clorox napkins
for the same 'racks'
as that Tom Ford fashion…

but yall commend the hustle..
thats crabs in a barrel
we could all reach the top
if we extend the muscle.

nevermind..
im probably just as guilty as any other.

Damn i love these social awareness drops, and this was RIPE for many reasons, it draws a reader
in and makes him stay put-t like a birdie in golf, untill its end, the content had this skimming effect
in depth, you broke the water and left it to the reader to dive for concepts and details, which it had in
abundance, you managed to convey an awful lot, with so little, a minimalist approach that projected
volumes...clever writing that my friend, clever indeed, i would like you to expand on this and then turn
it into an audio, but the i've always been greedy....a Ripe an enjoyable piece that hits home, it kinda
makes you look at one self....peace.

This read more like a poem to me which was pretty dope. It has the elements of text drops in a poetry format, and you did it well. When I got to second stanza I thought to myself: "Oh no, not this virus shit again." and it lingered for the entirety of 2 sentences until I understood what you were going for. You mention it in passing and your stance on it all reflects the piece as a whole, in that regard I do find the third stanza to be a bit weaker than the others but it still holds its ground. Overall a solid piece I enjoyed reading, defo good shit.

^^yooo Rhet hit it right on the head. I think neek is the only one who can do sarcasm in a text/topical verse without it being ambiguous ha. That's some serious skill set. that eve line was fucking perfect. not just in wording but the weight of what is being said. short, sweet, precise and poignant. nice, sir. ps i don't hate my big bro ha

As a man you're whatever to me.
But as a writer I'll be damned if you're not one of the best.
Very complex without forcing a single word.

This is great. You've put a lot of the thoughts we've all been having into rhyme.. but a well engineered and clear rhyme. I enjoyed the commentary and the poetic way you presented it all. Rhymes and flow carried well throughout. All of these components just gave it a spoken word 'this is what I think, and this is how I feel' vibe like you were making a statement that just happened to rhyme and flow. The best kind.

Stabbing at Angels with a Harpoon Fiercely

I think you meant "lose" - its a common mistake, so dont beat yourself up over it too badly. The Shine Light/Snooping was pretty solid, but the "like the sun" portion took away from its impact overall. opening line is a keeper tho. I thought the doobie part needed work, especially after executed fairly..a killing scheme wouldve tied it together a little better. perhaps not a pcp reference, but referencing killing the buds to dust and maybe a keif tie in as well. sprinkle keif while the buds turn to dust…etc.. easy stuff. youll get there.

this is alot like my issues with suffix rhymes, your leaning on a crutch heavily and its steering your content. the key to writing better…is just writing. the rhyme should never paint your narrative. your rhymes need to be a byproduct of the message. the random capitols dont help either. this whole section is a jumbled mess. I saw you working on this the other day, so its not like you rushed it either. you took time and still just go completely nonsensical for the lulz (which I appreciate…trust me..) but the key to a good trolling.. you gotta make people think youre being serious. youll get there tho.

Mute The Mangy.. "situation hairy…" you had so much direction. another misstep.

now, I understand the goal was to troll me... but this woulda been better suited at Dizz. he would have engaged you and bodied you for this poor attempt at his style.



overall, opened well.. but then it turned to ramblings. maybe you were too insecure to show your real writing in fear it wouldnt be good enough. opening stanza showed promise, but the substance was null and void. step the pen up and step the troll up. youll get there one day. stay safe and all the best.
