Okay, now my thesis is done, I've thought about it and decided now is a good time as any to work on my verbal skills. The idea is this:
* Give me a topic, and a style (of a person, or the name of a style). I will attempt to write a verse or two accordingly.
* If you could, give me links to the topic and examples of the style.
* No redistribution, please. The verses I write here are mine.
For example, in a previous thread, Klaushouse asked me to do a rap in the style of Kanye West on the topic of Pokemon, so I wrote one that could be rapped to Homecoming.
Who here was born to a family that lived underneath the poverty line.
UH before my parents finished their residency and became Attending physicians, I lived below the poverty line in east st. louis. I was the only chinese kid in school full of black kids, and it was true, they could get shot, die in a day. Sometimes kids would be missing, and you'd never see them again. Or they were just out working trying to make a quick buck. During gang wars, it was impossible to even step outside without having some person jump you to hope that you will not go on the other side.
Who here comes from the ghetto?
Um, I'm pretty sure east st louis is like the ghetto, My family was living close to the hospital they were doing their training. It was a 3 room apartment: kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Fortunately enough, My parents sent me to live with my grandparents after a few years of this.
DDX. Make more of that surrealist rhyme. It is heaven.
Strop I was born in the 818 valley in panorama city ghetto , where I live now pacoima ghetto , I've lived poor my whole life , at age 12 in middle school every day I would get hit up , there were times I was scared cuz I didn't want to get jumped on my way home , I've been in so many fights , expelled had to go to 3 different middle schools , couldn't even get into regular high school , had to take adult school just to get my G.E.D. , so anytime I say I pop guns its because I have , even though I don't put any of that in my rap , come on now you don't know what my life style has been its been real hard , at age 13 I tried to kill my self , Its been problems after problems for me , so in my raps I think I can say whatever I want cuz I have lived a bad lifestyle.
Who here can't go to school because they'd just get killed walking down the street?
well, if i go the usual way, i will get killed. but i am smarter than that, i know people hate me. so, i just go with a facemask on and wear stupid clothes so that no one gets that its me. real clever huh.

... They would kill you because they have a reason, in the ghetto they dont need a reason to shoot you. Get it? a difference. :\\
In a battle I"LL STEAL THE LIGHT , make you DISAPPEAR IN SITE// Dudes ain't built TO FIGHT , murderous? , THEY CAN"T EVEN KILL A MIC!// But its ok Its time to KILL THESE POWER PUFFS// I've HEARD HARD STUFF , easy win after they'll delete there post and act LIKE THERE BARS WEREN'T UP!//
I'll be walkin and seein my homeies die I really hope that their souls do fly They'll be watching me from down on high. All I can do is to weep and sigh.
There was ricky my man, black like the beast there was nothing that man couldn't really feast Now a bullet to the chest marks him deceased, The last thing that did, my hatred increased.
Those haters out there that are dissing my rhymes They don't really know about my hard times. They ain't never seen their friends die in the primes. I have heard the gun shots, they only the wind chimes.
I'm holding my BREATH , GOT A GUN TO MY CHEST// From all the PAIN I IN-JEST , Its not a game , ITS A BET// I keep hearing THE WORD DEATH , dude its time for you TO LAY REST// I have to STRUGGLE WITH LESS , having to live life with NOTHING BUT HEX// I should put a NEEDLE TO MY NECK , leave in a box , maybe that way my soul will be IN CHECK// Tell me WHAT'S NEXT , I'm I dying or am I BLESSED , is my life a LIE , or I haven't LIVED YET// I don't got all the ANSWERS , are my plans CANCER , or will I BE AMERICAS NEXT BEST DANCER// Should I GIVE IT A CHANCE , or do I DIE AT MY STANCE , Should I OPEN MIND , or be stuck CLOSED OFF SHINE , should I SHAKE IT OFF , or be remembered as A LOSE?//
