Alright, people. I’m about to post two of the biggest pieces of written work I’ve ever done, so hang on to your seats if need be and turn up some killer tunes if need be. I really hope you guys enjoy these, seeing as I put a hell of a lot of thought and work into them. Briana can tell you about this one if you have any questions. She read it and gave it some pretty rave reviews. Here we go.
Recently, I have noticed an unfortunate trend happening amongst my fellow youth. There are very few people willing to listen, I mean REALLY listen, anymore. Too many people are far too concerned with voicing their opinion the first and the loudest. No, this isn’t a complaint, a tirade, or a condescending rant. Yes, it is quite ironic that I am posting something about people not willing to listen on a BLOG (I laughed pretty hard when I realized that). No, this isn’t the only place that I speak my opinion, but that doesn’t mean that I shove it down other’s throats. Listen, I just saw some stuff I didn’t like, and I want to share my opinion on it with you, and if you have an opinion on it too, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT! And I mean HEAR it. Sometimes people just need someone to listen. To REALLY listen.
With that in mind, I will post two little bits of beat poetry that sum it up quite nicely:
This is the rap for the beat I posted today.
This is the beat that I made for a song called, “The Great Divorce.” That title is stolen from the title of a C.S. Lewis Novel. The novel is an allegory about life and the temptations that bring us farther from heaven and the road that we must travel to get there. Very good book. This rap, however, is NOT about that. It is, quite literally, about a divorce. An ugly one. So…enjoy.
Hey, thanks to all of those who are currently following me. I appreciate the support. I will post something new today just to show you I care.
Thank you, new follower! You and I both know how awesome you are. And it is good timing that you should start following me, dear, because I am about to unleash one of my first audio files upon you. I will keep you posted.
Thanks, once again.
This one I am especially proud of. I feel like my writing keeps getting better and bettter and I hope this is an indication of that. Let me know if you agree.
This is a rap. Yeah.
Alright, everyone (everyone who actually reads this shit), I have my first full length rap to post for ya, and it’s a real head trip. Literally. It’s about the concrete vs. the abstract self. Check it.
So, after a long night of writer’s block, I am talking with my friend Briana. She suggests that I use this little exercise that she learned from her creative writing classes, where you pick a sentence and use that sentence to end the story, basically building your story toward that point. She gave me a list of them and I picked one, but when I told her my idea for the story for that line, she was a little surprised. See for yourself.
