I use to go to this Hip Hop record store in Norfolk Virginia on Tidewater Drive called DJ's Music & Video. One of the store members who put me on to some local group called Jhunippuz.
Jhunippuz: A Snippet of a Legacy
1 2 1 2 ...... 1 2 1 2
This is a
HipHop
Public
Service
Announcement
This is going out to everybody whose ever been to a club
To a party
To a concert
And has had the opportunity to witness somebody perform
To all of yall
I got a question
To everybody whose had the opportunity 2 witness somebody perform
I got a question
Just 1 question
Ayo
How many times have you been to a show?
And the artist that you paid ya money for, sounded terrible
Unbearable to listen to
Nothing like the audio that's been played on the radio
It's pitiful
Horrible to listen to
Like ignorant rappers in an interview
A total disappointment is before your very center view
It's bad
Cause you're figuring
His show was gon be live
Admission was $25
You paid to get inside
Due with high expectations
Boosted through flyers
And radio persuasion
Time for the show & rapper come out screaming
Tried to get the crowd hype
2 minutes later wheezing
Having trouble breathing
No breath control
Plus his techniques is cold
The crowd hype material is old
Although on the radio
Had him sounding is if he can bring it
With his thunderous voice
His adlibs
And all his singing
Cause they in front of you
And don't have a clue
So what they say and do
So all he scream is 1 2
He goes to performing from the wheezing sound
Awful as wack
These nikkas need to practice
Ayo they Trackstars
I
Trackstars
I
They Trackstars
I ๐
Trackstars
They pitful
Standing on stage
In a rage
You & ya homies
Reciting thug ghetto scriptures
I rather turn the pages
Mouths is all over the microphone
Looking like you hungry
Making it hard 4 me 2 hear through all yall yelling
And ya hyper tone
It sound like you speaking something
Other than English
Crowd froze cause ya words
Difficult to distinguish
Key word in this sense
"CLARITY"
Brothers scream HipHop to the death do us part
But some
Say he ready to marry me
Cause I believe the show should be
Twice is better than anything that has ever came out of a studio
When I'm performing
A lot of artist need to rehearse
It's more than memorizing a verse
You need to take
Some of my advice
Use it from the verse
And maybe you will see
That you will be
Respected
To the mass audience get accepted
Not rejected
In this last verse
Some points
I plan to reiterate
The songs purpose is to realize
And of course penetrate
How many rappers do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
How many singers do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
How many channels do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
How many artists do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
The definition of a trackstar
One who gets
Live in the studio
Production quality is beautiful
But visually at a concert, hideous
Utterly ridiculous and boring
Far from enjoying
You seen them clubs and at arenas
Thinking that they really moving something
But ain't really moving nothing
These brothers need to know
There's more to show than screaming yo and kicking blows
Checking mics once twice
Figuring that's how it goes
Cause it's not
And the crowd knows if you know what you're doing
If you in tune with their soul......
Really if you wasting time fooling
An MC
Mastering Control in command of each and every ceremony
And to that
There's a chemistry
It's not only producing music
It's expressing music
On stage addressing music
With truth & confidence
(With Truth & Confidence man)
(Ayo ayo man, tell these nikkas yo)
It's giving the crowd something they feel
Something tangible & real
Something that adhere B
That was planted in my ear
It's about holding ya weight up when it's time to perform
It's about motivation
Crowd captivation
What I'm stating isn't seeing isn't only rocking tracks
But a physical display of where you from & where you at
Word life, word life word life word word life
Word life word life word word life
How many rappers do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
How many singers do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
How many channels do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
How many artists do you know with a track sound live but when it comes to show they sound, pitiful?
