The Situation

[Its JP]

Hey I wrote this song the other day its kinda about what I think about mainstream these days and I dont think its that good at all but I figured I havent posted a song here yet, so what the hell right

“The Situation”

Verse 1:

Theres a situation; plaguing our nation

And everybody seems to think that Im hatin

Well I’m telling you I’m not

I’m just expression every feeling I’ve got

But so what if theyre negative

I think the problem is evident

Rap isn’t what it used to be

It didn’t used to matter who it was produced by see?

It used to be about what the rapper would say

But now today, it’s just about produced by Dre, or Kanye

And if a rapper drops an old cliché

He’s treated like he’s 2Pac reborn

He is completely adorn

Cuz he raps about what he’s on

Talkin about acid, speed, coke, and weed

Today that’s a double platinum album guaranteed

It shouldn’t be so easy to succeed

You should need to be able to rhyme

Not just rap about how your dad left your mom

And how you grew up sellin drugs, befriendin thugs

Pullin out your gun and shootin off some slugs

Chorus:

Something’s wrong with rap these days

Looks to me like something changed

Now instead of MCs

You’ve got a buncha ‘OGs’

At least that’s what they tell you they are

How they smoked weed, then stole a car

Startin rappin, now they’re moneys expanded

Talkin bout growin up in the ghetto

But writing the song in a mansion

Verse 2:

The biggest problem is all the whack rappers

Doing the whack rapping

But for some reason the fans cant stop clapping

But these rappers are just takin money from you

So I’ma go ahead and tell you a few

Well first theres Slim Shady

Used to rap about he was crazy

But now he cries about his daughter

What happened to the days when he’d rap about manslaughter

Hi my name is {what} my name is {who} my name is

I love you Halie, Are you happy now your dads a big baby

But I can’t forget to mention 50 cent

I haven’t seen a good song from this man yet

Theres just a lil bit, and the candy shop

Im surprised these didn’t make the rap game stop

Now I can see why this man got shot

He needs to shut his mouth, I can’t understand him anyways

Lets see who else is there these days

That guy who sings about tippin fo fo’s

Whos Mike Jones Whos Mike Jones

Not one of his fans even knows

But he can rap the numbers to his phone

So lets all go and buy his album

We’ll listen to Mike Jones, but not The Game?

Man whats wrong with rap these days?

Chorus

[mfuqua23]

Nice and str8 foward. But for your previous stuff, I think I'd get off 50, Em, and Mike Jones for a bit, unless of course you calling for war.

"And if a rapper drops an old cliché

He’s treated like he’s 2Pac reborn" - I like that a lot. It's very true.

Everything else is pretty general, so it'd just be a matter of who would get captivated by your message in the song.

thanks for the feedback FuQ

I like the concept, it will be interesting to hear as well.

'We’ll listen to Mike Jones, but not The Game?

Man whats wrong with rap these days?'

I think it would be better if you would put another rapper here that isn't as mainstream, cause the Game has a lot of fans and he gets his share of media attention too.
