Rap, now every genre has there exceptions and I'm well aware that many people like "crunk"-rap, as well as anything that is overly gangsta'. But honestly I can't relate, and recently I found a Genre that is just me. Nerdcore. It's rap for the geek in everyone, now I'm not discriminating against gangsta' rap, everyone has their own thing they can relate to, Nerdcore is mine. Now until recently this certain type of rap wasn't very mainstream, it still isn't, but there are many artists that can be seen as having Nerdcore aspects such as early Gym Class Heroes stuff, Lupe Fiasco, or up and coming rapper Asher Roth, some white dude from Pennsylvania. Well with is overload of Nerdcore as well as intelligent relevent rap like the three artists I mentioned, I've been inspired to write, and it isn't much but it's something and that makes be very happy.
(This is it.)
All He Wrote, All I Am
I feel like I don’t have a medium to express,
The way that I feel or the way I want to be,
I’m stuck in a rut and there have been times where I’ve done less -
But this is different in some way, I just can’t see.
I’ve been blinded by the times,
My mind’s eye is in a recession,
My receding hairline, I’m 19,
And balding how depressing.
But that’s just current events to make this a period piece,
I’m not affected by the way the price of the gas likes to increase,
I’m working steadily, and I’ve got nothing wrong in my life -
I guess that is the reason that I can’t really write.
But I don’t want to tempt g-d I just want to be able to be,
Express what I’ve been feeling in a swift flowing rhyme scheme,
See I think of me as a poet and thought not many people know it -
I like to be able to forever be.
It’s a little dream I’ve had like since I was twelve,
I started writing in my notebook about how much I hate myself,
Because of the way my peers made me feel -
And pressure from my Bar Mitzvah.
And now I’m all grown up I’m certainly a man,
Or at least in Jewish standing I think you can understand,
I’m ok with who I am and I’m ok with who I’ll be -
But because of that I have a hard time writing this poetry.
P.P.S.
New Eminem CD.
