Volume: Time (Poem)


Rivers flood the valley, overflowing with red
Darkness hangs over the town like a fly swarm 
The grim feeling settles in, and takes control
Struggling, trapped under the heavy mountain

A crushing sound echoes across the canyon 
Rocks start falling, the rumble follows
Screams are heard from the distance
Birds flock away as if something bigger is there

Rushing waterfalls get drowned by greatness
Glass shakes and shatters, the shards obsolete,
As small as each human's role in the universe
Strength is drawn from the destruction and it's path

Something rises up as the fire roars in the night 
Trees collapse like buildings during an earthquake
Crackling is heard for miles as the light is a signal 
Flames burn everything that comes into vision 

From the skies, something starts to stand up
Someone larger than life emerges from the pain 
Suffering builds the savior like cells to a person
Legendary awe is felt throughout space and time 

Creation spans infinitely through the battle forge
Sparks collide insignificantly as the hammer slams
Cushions can't soften the blow felt among power
Onward and endlessly one exists with the world

Hip Hop: How Much Should You Sacrifice To Be Relevant?

So as an artist I've started to think about the question of relevancy. Like how much of your craft should you sacrifice in order to stay relevant? In some ways the answer is obvious. Just enough to keep your business alive so that you can have a craft to do in the first place. In other ways, it's less obvious. Take this for example; finding your style as a rapper can be a difficult task. The landscape of rap has changed so much in the last twenty years that it's hard for people to find their fit. In the past what was valued was pretty obvious. Lyrics. You always had your rappers that weren't quite as lyrical but relied on their cult of personality (which I hear was Tupac's claim to fame). You also had your complete booty rappers that were entirely commercial (Vanilla Ice for instance). But long story short, it was a market that was album driven and primarily featured lyricists. Now Hip-Hop has expanded so much that a lot of the things that make it "Hip-...
