Never Have Seen

I could never be the universe's smoothest person but I can try right?
Friends asking if I'm ready for the limelight
I tell 'em "Wait and see", I got it all planned
9th Wonder on the beats and they all jam
And that sounds like a wind chime
So move over to the side like the french fries
Most of these kids rhyme atrociously
But babes fiending for my music like Jodeci
Keeping it simple and dumbing it down are different
My pencil is real offensive, killing competitors spirits
Scholars quoting all the lyrics that I write down
Excite entire towns anytime I rock crowds
And narrow minds get catered to
I shine 'cause I was made to
Played too many games as a kid, now I'm ready like P-Troy
Records'll get obliterated, killed and destroyed
They say success breeds contempt so I can tell I made it
The game's contaminated, players get elaminated
I'm glad I made it in time for these kids to watch
Tom Hardy, the gnarliest since Barkley
Narnia status, I'm probably 'bout to win the Carnegie
Caldecot scalding hot lyrics for the spirit
Messing with my team no, can't get near 'em
Flow the most superious, serious, serious
And the only thing I'm fearing is not a fucking thing
I decided to rhyme and I'm riding until I die from it
Making investments now but yet to make a dime from it
And you can smile and say backhanded shit to me but I'ma go down in infamy inside of the industry
Inside of me is G-I-F-T I be the extraordinary Hardy
I'll make it P, and I'm rocking to my own beat
I don't own jeeps
My parents got me a Honda except its on lease
I own the world, I'ma show 'em I mean it
I'ma show 'em they raised me right and the world is gon' see it
I make songs for my homeboys and girls to sing it
I make songs for the whole fucking world to sing it
I'm a fucking genius, I can't lie
I'm special and rode the short bus, that's why

Change Of Heart

It’s not often that you can hear a record and not display the hyper machismo that is so common in today’s rap game. Every now and then, you’ll hear a record that immediately strikes a chord with those listeners around the world. And even more rare, that video is given the decency to receive video treatment. Really really rare.

Well, this is one of those Leprechaun moments, where a record is actually given a video that is more than deserving. This is from Fly.Union rapper Jerreau, who hails from Columbus, OH. This is a narrative that basically details an honest male perspective of why sometimes “pimpin is more complicated than easy”. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy this joint.



P.S. If you haven’t checked out the five Fly U “Value Packs”, please do so. All 5 are great EPs. Fly Dot U, where dreams come true.

Mixtape Corner: Eminem is the Truth

Check this song out!




Why the hell is Eminem not on every top 10 rapper (dead or alive) list? I have no clue why this dude is left out of countless conversations about the best rapper/lyricist/performer. The fact that Gucci made the 2009 MTV list and not Eminem...SMH. I know he did fall off for a little bit, but he came back with a vengeance. It's like Mariah Carey somehow turned this man into a lyrical Super Sayian. No, it's actually kind of like Kung Fu Hustle where the dude dies and comes back on some whole other shit.

A fellow Winslow family member and I were having a conversation about this the other day. I think it can be contributed to reverse racism. People used to say the only reason people like him is because he's white. I think people like him despite the fact that he's white. Listen to the song. He tore two separate beats to shreds in two minutes and fifteen seconds. That's all he needs, and there was not even a pause between songs. But somehow Gucci Coon is considered relevant. Can anyone tell me why this is?
