Sorry for the structure, but hey, sue me...

I'm the lyrical equivalent of diligent militants riddling the sickest spits, like I was in the Gaza strip with this, spilling the illest rap to ripple indifference, tackle the actors - grappled with the rhythm, attack from the beginning with the bombastic, aristocratic enactment...

Recite the patents, coz I'm the boss kicking this like Obama in the United Nations, don't change the station...coz if this was BBC you wouldn't get facts so easily, could rap rapid on 1Xtra, pack packets with mad habits plus hot texture...could kick similes like Wordsworth, Shakespeare and them...could bring Al-Qaeda coz the West straight fearing him...they aint near to him...rip rhythm with precision endeared to him, spin prisms coz their visions are clear as sin.

Revered like the Pope, but I'm Benedict to those on benefits...for the hell of it, I plunder politicians like they were celibate...no Immortal Technique, but my rhymes are timeless...unlike the doctrine slithered by those guys that's spineless...I'm the light to miners, getting Chile with the flow coz my lines are priceless, I'm twice a diamond, slice ya wise men, divide ya violence...coz the ink of a scholar is worth more than the blood of martyr, but many spilled their life as price for barter...locked down by the rites of charter, in chambers trading peace and that's just for starters

Nice multis! After a bit I started to catch the rhyme scheme, even though there was no structure I could still follow it.

Nice drop CUBA!!

If I did sue you, how much would I get? We can settle out of court if you like. I'll accept £5.

This piece was sick, too. Actually flowed flawlessly. Great use of vocab (but none of that Kosmo > Thesaurus stuff) - some sick lines. Good read. 

Drop more.






I'm so fucking intelligent, half the time I don't even know what I'm saying...

Yea man, you already know this was dope. I also gotta applaud you for not holding anybody's hand and walking them through it with elaborate expos or cookie-cutter formatting. I know for me personally, I hate to get caught-up in a repetitious style and I have to change something in order to keep that feeling of actually being productive and creative.

Cuba, you will hear from my lawyer.


This was so well written it becomes a circular argument. You write about how good you are so well, there's no choice but to believe you. You paradoxical monster

Oomph... sickness, sickness... so many hot lines in this shit, seriously

I didn't like the format, I think you could have gone the other way and filled it with line drops, and that would have been more effective

I also didn't like the intro. It honestly sounded like some *** shit the way it started and I was like 'oh boy...' but you recovered in tremendous style -- and that's just me nit-pickin'... It got better and better after that and the last two paragraphs were serious business

Metaphorically this was a different class

Not for nothin', on pure skills this is two classics in two weeks from you... No one has done something of this type to this standard in LA history

But you've inspired me -- now if I could just get off work for long enough . . .
. . . Now who said they fuckin' with me?
They just said that FUCKIN' with me
They didn't mean it
Nah . . .
