Blueprint - Lo-Fi Funk (feat. Aesop Rock)

[horsex5]

"You're part of the 98%, conformed, floating about Evil Dead style, regimented dress sense, secret shame, crying at night eating bags of Tate and Lyal, mediocrity seeps from every facet of your being, judgement clouded? judgement obliterated, your masses approved hairstyle covers what you should be seeing, a life rich in experience to enhance character development, it's a shame you settle for less, a victim of your quality-deprived environment"

[elgrimfandango]

Tesseracts form in your vision.

As reality ceases to be in tune with precision



due to the fact i've altered your perception and made some revisions

reformed the way you might make your decisions

information and influences, just tools for noble and fool alike

similar to the negative and positive that dictate who wins the fight

any peasant can pull a trigger and change the fate in a flash of light

[NejeraEnt]

to the internet rappers below me: good shit. i make beats and i wanna give you a beat.

[horsex5]

@NejeraEnt surely you arent refering to me lol ;-p

[elgrimfandango]

@horsex5

Honestly dude, i like reading your lyrics.

I think they're pretty cool.

[horsex5]

@elgrimfandango that's pretty cool man, thanks. I don't really take it seriously tbh, just something to do when I'm walking about town.

[elgrimfandango]

@horsex5 yeah same,i just post 'em here cuz it's the quickest way to get 'em down when i hear a good beat.

I can't freestyle for shit tbh, i gotta sit for 5 or 10 minutes and write it.

[horsex5]

@elgrimfandango nice one man, I find it can be quite relaxing and helps with boredom, I have a rap I've written about my friends cat that had a bent leg and died (sadly, that's not even a joke/lie. I think I need brain medicine haha)

[elgrimfandango]

@horsex5 Thats far from the most terrible thing someones rapped about.

Shit Soundgarden has a song about a bird that flew into Chris Cornell's window and he had to put it out of its misery.

So yeah its all good.

[horsex5]

@elgrimfandango haha, yeah plus it's done with a sense of irony, not to be taken seriously, might put it up here for the hell of it. What bout you? what you hoping to do with your raps? They seem more than worthy of a beat at man, I especially like the use of vocabulary that doesn't include N-words and references to guns n hoes haha ;-)

[horsex5]

@horsex5 *at that man

[elgrimfandango]

@horsex5 I dunno, I just like writing them. I don't even really show them to anyone.

It's not like I'm embarrassed or shy,It's just somethig I enjoy doing on my own time.

It's kind of ironic that strangers sometimes see parts of you even your close friends and family don't know.

[elgrimfandango]

@horsex5 Appreciate the compliment by the way.

[elgrimfandango]

The string rapidly unravels, exposing substandard housing like mindsets resembling the rabble. One drop of blood is all a shark needs to hunt you, and the slip of the fang is all it needs to ring true.

Best vacate the premises if you value your existence, because i'm about to pull the plug on this pathetic resistance. Trembling as morale begins tumbling, resembling hesitation, careful thats the kets yours fumbling.

You can onlu get one shot to break the lock, and your times run out, doc.

[iHaveEyedeas]

@elgrimfandango I like you, real lyrics. If we collaborated it could get scary.

[elgrimfandango]

@iHaveEyedeas No kidding man. If you want, pick a beat out and start it off. They'll be powerless.

[horsex5]

@elgrimfandango OINK, of the jibba-jibba variant, I cherry-pick rhymes to help make my rap salient, all the while you wax platatudinous I ruminate over comebacks of a nature thats invidious, my lryics are inspired subjects of contention, ten-fold any topic since the internets invention, I abstain from bouts of precrastination, it's the primary cause of my body and souls agitation, I refrain from listening to this areola cranium, that ignant som'bitch just snorted a viel of uranium.

booked :-)

[horsex5]

@horsex5 *procrastination

[elgrimfandango]

@horsex5

Brace your collection of matter and energy and face the fact the scope of this space is so beyond your comprehension your soul will shake in the wake of the collapse of the very foundations of your perception of everything you've ever known and felt

Then I'll take my scalpel of linguistic fury cut another knotch in my belt. It's just another instant in time where eternity passed by in the span of a second, when you turn the cards over and survey the hand you've been dealt.

[elgrimfandango]

@elgrimfandango

Capable of raising the air temperature to make minds melt, I can breath fire into the hearts of men and they'll march against you in my name, or anyone who says a sword is mightier than my hand with a pen.

[horsex5]

@elgrimfandango The causation of this occasion is purely governmental, leaves racial harmony in state that has become temperamental, pedantic regulations focus on the colour of eyes, a minor shade alternative leaves you disenfranchised, hop on a cab opposite to findus avenue, cultivation drug station - my main source of revenue

just a wee one there ;-)

[elgrimfandango]

If you don't want to be verbally flayed, hung drawn and quartered, hop on then ext flight and get the fuck out of my borders.

[elgrimfandango]

your life span is measured by the ticking of the clock. heavy does the hand of time sit on your shoulders when your know your chance to make a mark has left the flock

Now you have all eternity to bask in the wisdom that failure brings. You are the example on what happens when ignorance reigns. You're in my court now, so pick your words carefully, we don't tolerate amateurs in the house of masters, so speak warily.

[ThinkOnerandProdigy]

Boom... Bap.. :)

[toycrusherdj]

Yeah, that's Aesop on the hook.

[SteelSnarf]

two great musicians, collaborations like this beat your typical lil wayne video with 8 other meaningless rappers with no notable parts in the song.

[elgrimfandango]

prove to me i can't break your realities,your threats are just trivialities

hollow and brittle like a glass, i can see right through you

i bet you wish you were made out of brass

a little truth to your words at last, but it looks like i'ma have to pass

i doubt your ability to show me wrong, if you do, maybe you can put it in a song.

That would require your head out of your ass, can you manage that lass?

we come to raid your hood, drink pillage and plunder, here comes the thunder.

[iHaveEyedeas]

@elgrimfandango Please kid heres my thesis when I grab the microphone i'll leave your mind blown to pieces with ease bitch, and leave you speechless, shit even if you were jesus you would never defeat me kid.

[elgrimfandango]

@iHaveEyedeas

A long came a spider, a slick nuisance in the house of purity. Washed out to sea by his lack of insurable stability.

if you can't win the battle inside your own head, stay away from the minds of the masses, i'll turn your neural network into nodes of molasses, better get back to your history classes, because ad infinitum, i've come again conquer the world of men.

You can't fathom what you've brought on yourself by opening pandora's box.

[iHaveEyedeas]

@elgrimfandango My lyrics are the opposite of meaningless, even if Im speakin shit reasonless.

It's exceeded whatever you could have dreamed or invented kid, I vent in a dimension to mention the vision of my penmanship listen bitch Im a senior eager to leave ur career ended quick when I spit this shit flippin organisms over the rhythm abort the mission before I distort your vision kid get off this is my hypothesis is ur not as hot as this problem is I dont know why your still even talkin shit.

[NejeraEnt]

@elgrimfandango i make beats. you and the other internet rappers, need to contact me as soon as possible so we can make you emcees :)

[elgrimfandango]

i'm battle scarred, put me to the test and get your skull jarred.

light the fuse, i'll burn like napalm, the only way to put me out

is to just let me blow you away blue rinse, sanitize the radio waves

so we can hail back to latter days, what makes you think you got skill?

when i get down i go in for the kill, flip the switch, like a fastball pitch

get the fuck out my realm before i show you the meaning of overwhelmed.

paradoxical prodigies, a title we claim if we please,

[elgrimfandango]

Incoming, know the meaning of the word?

Translation, your life spans limited by my sword

i bring with me all the infallible gods of linguistic mastery

this can only bring about your city's catastrophe

special made, packaged with care, delivered to your door step

open it up and turn it on if you dare, i'm here to bring down the foundations

i'm here to shatter your mundane fixations, you think you might be man of the year

get a clue nigga, drop your assets of a pier, now we run shit here

[konradhk00]

this beat makes my mind flip and fold like circus trapeze artists

[gmerit1]

holy shit beat hit me like a 2X4

[MrZackmack]

This song should have way more views

[SeattleMashUps]

this beat is more silly than v.i.c.s hairline.

[BobbyBluntandthafunk]

Just realized that this interpolates Cal Tjader-Bonita

[hhhaaaccc]

First i've heard of BLueprint. Dope. Dope track.

[olneymaryland77]

@Awesteez Name a couple for me then. He's at least the most underrated artist on the Rhymesayers label, you have to give him that.

[Awesteez]

@obeytheory Oh, he definitely is. A few more off the very top of my head include One Be Lo, No Bird Sing, Fresh Breath Committee, Josh Martinez, the Knowmads, Macklemore, Nero, and Blu, and Span Phly

[obeytheory]

[onemanarmyasonrip]

[damienamarty]

The two samples that are most prevalent sound like they are from the animated film "Metropolis". In particular, the fire-fighting scene.
