NEW SONG

[bagotrasho]

Heres my new song I'll have one more up in about an hour

“EXPLOITATION”

CHORUS

I’m tired of the world exploitin the Hip Hop game

Takin our rappers and sellin their products using their fame

Its screwin up the entire hip hop world

When I see stuff like that it just makes my skin curl

VERSE 1

What happened to the days when you would rap to rap

Not to sell all of these companies hats, and cars and crap

They’ve been doin it since adidas was usin Run Dmc

To sell their shoes Run DMC was the key

O yea it really impresses me

I think I’ll go buy some shoes because 50 cent got shot

I’ll go to mall and wherever I spot a poster of a rapper

I’ll drop my money like its hot

Every single dime I got

Why can’t you leave rappers to rappin

Instead of sittin there with your big mouth flappin

“Lets get Mike Jones to sell our pants”

Bullsh*t like that goin on your crazy rant

CHORUS

VERSE 2

Hey man you get the point yet?

What are you startin to sweat?

What happens when people start realizen

That all you people do is hypnotizen?

That’s what you’re doin to the nation

All you’re doing is screwing up my idols

Does that make you feel a little suicidal?

I mean I look up to people like Slick Rick

Now you got Snoop Dogg sellin AOL sidekicks!

How much fabric softer do I use?

At least let Snoop look like a ghetto dude

I can’t believe you’d screw up a reputation

Just for the sake of your corporation

So give us our rappers back

Or you’re due for an attack

Then what about your new marketing plan?

Well then sh*ts gonna hit the fan

CHORUS 3 times

So you gonna stop the exploitation?

Give me back my inspiration

Because the guys you use

To sell your shoes

Are the guys who inspire me to write

These little rhymes that make up

Without them well I’m washed up

CHORUS

"I can’t believe you’d screw up a reputation

Just for the sake of your corporation"

These were my fav. lines outta the whole song. Kick it how ya feel it. I ain't got nothin' wrong wit that.

Back in the day, Hip-hop was spreading, but with good reason. It was a constant developing culture. Now it expanding with the wrong reasons and images. But it's more of too much of the same.

:werd: Too much gimmicks now, I feel that message there, you got heart to fight back, we need more mcs out there like that! :ali: Like KRS once said: "Hip-hop is not a product like pants and sweaters"

You've hit a nail that I've been paying a lot of attention to recently. I see so many kids wearing G-Unit merchandise. I've realized that these kids don't even know why anymore. Like they need to buy all this crap or 50 Cent won't be rich enough. Like he really gives a damn about them anyway.

God Blessa!

hell yeah boy!! thats what im talkin about, spoken like a real mc, it makes me wanna get on the subject if its alright wit you im about to freestyle on it

should i wear g-units because 50 got hit 9 times

well i sure wouldnt because of his rhymes

i aint gone lie, i want sidekick cause snoop had one

other than that nobody in the world would have one

i guess 50 cant make a whole dollar

cause he need the whole g-unit to make a girl holla

now lets talk about the boost phone

they got luda,kanye, and game freestylin on cell phone

if that aint exploitation i dont know what it is

lame companies usin rappers to boost up they biz

[Don Jiggy]
