this guy blows. kinda sounds like a white boy is rapping if u dont watch the video and just listen

[IndianaJorkek]

Shut up little bitch................your music that shit

[wassup287]

I like it, except for the music, it sound like its from starcraft or something.

[eyemran]

I respect that! That's what I was aiming for when I made it though - dark, sinister, futuristic sounding - as if robots are coming. It's based in a future settting! 'The Future Has Already Happened!'

[pseudonymmmm]

dark vibeee, dope shit tho

[owenmusicman]

nice! sounds old school nice message too. i dig your bass videos too keeping going man

[canadianiam]

why are you rapping?

[razorcloud]

not too bad. A couple of the lyrics flow into one another a bit awkwardly.

Namely this whole section.

"Fighting and loving each other its in our nature yes indeed I have flesh

I bleed for you

You won't believe what they'll do just to keep control but fuck them!"

the indeed feels really really out of place.

[hjaeko]

hey its Ice Cube.

[eyemran]

Haha and fuck you! I'm just kidding dude - you don't how often I get that. It's either Ice Cube, Charles Barkely, or Oliver Miller. Go figure!

[hjaeko]

hahaahhaha yeah, go figure Ice Cube!

[maymebrow]

Last line is the best. =)

Great vid, 5 stars.

[AestheticizeAnalog]

I don't know if the back track would qualify as grime, but it sort of has that vibe. The MCing was top notch as well.

[eyemran]

Yeah, it has like a 'Trans' electronica feel to it. Thanks!

[whypatcondellisntfun]

At least you are better than Solja Boy.... Don't give up the day job just yet. Oh....Hang on. Nice beatboxing at the end there :)

[eyemran]

SB sucks ballz really hard! I'm incur capita and value anyway you choose, but what about creative integrity and a message - the things Hip-Hip is founded on. Thanks!

[whypatcondellisntfun]

Have to admit, once I made that comment, I tried to work on my own reply!!!! Still working on it! Might give up, so straight up, at least you put your cohanas out there! And yes, there is not enough Hip-Hop with a political message. Not like the old days :) Keep it real.

[JustMaintain82]

Hip Hop Should be more like this. Great Message and great beats

[eyemran]

Thanks Dawg!

[dnHooligan]

Yo "naming the world with our points of view" is WAY too true.

[eyemran]

Thanks man! It's a spin off Paulo Fierre (Pedagogy of The Oppressed) and ontological imperatives.

[dnHooligan]

'base the structure on economy'

hella-good call

[eyemran]

Though I extol agnostic and atheistic like principles, Fierre, who I laud for using 'God' as a tool for Liberation (i.e. Liberation Theology), was a Marxist. So, it's a reference to historical materialism, the 'base' and 'superstructure' that Marx talks about.

[pennilesscripple]

yeah i love paolo friere

i read pedagogy of the oppressed a long time ago and went looking for a new copy of it, but it's out of print and the used copies are spendy spendy

[pennilesscripple]

'hip hop spared my life'

nice

[eyemran]

'I throw my mic into the gears'

It's a self-sacrificial line? Though we must stay true to it, culture is a disposable speech of sorts that we can use to any means. I throw the mic, which symbolizes the vocal element of Hip-Hop culture, into the gears of the modern machine, and 'Hope for the best.'

[pennilesscripple]

yeah that's a powerful line, eyemran

use your particular skills and talents to stop the destruction

[pennilesscripple]

great lyrics man

great response

[PhilosopherFresh]

nice work man!

[eyemran]

Thanks! I appreciate it. I made this beat on my Karma Korg Workstation years ago. It has more of like a Trans feeling to it, eh?

[ambervisions]

Excellent! 5 stars for sure! keep em coming! Great msg! Peace and love to yoU! Di:)

[eyemran]

Thanks! You think I should start posting more snippets from songs? It would be a good advertising tool of sorts! I mean, the albums that this is going to be on, and just other stuff is going to be coming out soon, so....Yeah,, I think I will.

[goldengun85]

"Strike B-Boy Stance!" Lol! Pretty cool...are you going to be answering everyone by rapping to them now?

[eyemran]

Gotta strike my B-Boy stance dawg! LOL! Nah (if I did, I'd start with Cropper - that'll really piss him off), I think I should take ambervisions advice and start posting more spoken word and lyrical stuff-diversify the channel a little more ya know.

[bloodadvocate]

Awesome 5 Stars

[eyemran]

Good to see you man! Thanks! I appreciate it!

[HaleyMary]

I thought that was a really cool song. A lot of good rhymes there. :)

[eyemran]

Thanks HaleyMary! I really appreciate that coming from you! Yeah, I'm way more....intimate, honest and just more aware than 95% of the 'Hip-Hop' we hear these days. To be honest, I hate Hip-Hop for how its sexual, material and overall destructive overtones, but aesthetics can be conditioned however the subject chooses. I may disagree with it, but they're free do it and it's their 'choice' ultimately. Thanks!

[pennilesscripple]

yeah seems it has split into the greedmongers and the spiritual warriors--interesting, and not unlike the polarities we see in society

[zzz33333]

hell fucking yes dude this is fucking shitty

(in a good way)

[eyemran]

LOL! Yeah, in comparison to the norm and status quo, this is utter garbage!

[bbbleaver]

dope.

[eyemran]

Thanks!
