[Kanye West's actions during the VMAs sparked some intense remarks on Facebook just now, and, because I've never loved the way he conducts himself - or many other mainstream rappers for that matter - I just started freewriting what came to mind. It wasn't THAT big of a deal, but it just fueled some lines off of which I continued...
If you don't know what he did, either look it up, or ask me!]
Every rap sentence I drop is relentless.
I’m contentious when it comes
to the average “artists” pretentious -
disposition.
Hip Hop is in critical condition
‘cause of pitiful emissions
from the mouths of these misogynistic
so-called musicians…
who twist the traditions;
calling money Jesus
whilst becoming born-again Christians.
It’s the demolition
of the culture’s true composition –
uplifting the children
is an idea turned apparition.
Only appearing when it’s least expected
but it’s appearance is still hidden
so it’s often neglected or rejected.
Minds are being infected
but no one found a cure
because although these sounds are pure
they’re unknown
so they resound to fewer.
My attempts are becoming obsolete
when I stop and speak.
Seek some applause
for my worthy cause,
but I only receive a pause.
and when I hear the silence
It rings internally... sirens
Inner environs
where nerves are touched
and memories are clutched.
Hope to be heard past a slurred word,
or misinformed conjecture
of a coarse texture
that refuses to understand my lectures…
