I really wanted to expand on my verse with the collaboration with Liquid so I have. I've quickly wrote a few more bars. The general concept is to explain that hip-hop is not simplistic in terms of rhyming and then to explain what it was built on and not what you may hear on the radio.

Any constructive feed is much appreciated!
When people say "Hip-hop takes no talent", I laugh at them,
Reply "yeah, you're right" with the utmost amount of sarcasm,
Because, artists like Sadistik have lyrics you can't fathom,
You can't comprehend the skill it takes when crafting 'em,
You know a lot about rhyming? Ever heard of slanting one?
Nah, didn't think so. Your ignorance has got us laughing son!
Like a greyhound every artist wants to open with a flying start,
Trying to prove to everyone, this genre is far from a dying art,
Fight the ignorance on every occasion, until the sirens start,
Pounce at any competition with the bravery of a lions heart,
We'll forever fix the pieces to hip-hop's dying parts,
Hip-hop will always have an objective, like a flying dart
Here's some room for thought!
Take Lose Yourself for an example, I'm not sure if you know it b
but the song has multi's and internal rhyming, complex poetry,
And I know it seems that hip-hop is mainly about cars and money,
Or who's in the most bars.. it's funny, we started off as story-telling,
Like Slick Rick with Children's Story, it was never about who's more a felon,
Fuck what's selling, it doesn't mean that's true hip-hop, remember that,
Sales are irrelevant, dismember that! Nas' One Mic didn't chart well,
Never did Tupac's Changes, but both are considered classics, both are heart felt.
Both Changes and One Mic are classics in hip-hop, they charted in the Billboard 100, but didn't peak above 32.
Thanks!
