"Oranges" - An Ode to Unoriginal Hip Hop

in poetry •  7 years ago

I'm eating these apples and oranges
Apples are not equal to oranges
Versace does not rhyme with oranges
No apples, no doctors, just oranges

Stuff rhymes with limes but not oranges
I'm wasting my time with these oranges
Sunny D does not taste like oranges
You notice how weird the word 'orange' is?


Maybe I'm showing my age here but I have a problem with the excessive use of triplets and lack of lyrical depth in a lot of modern rap and hip hop. I know, as long as someone's enjoying it, there's a place for music like that, it's just, things were different once. That being said, if anybody wants to buy my shit rap for lots and lots of money, put it on a sick beat and get this produced, just say the word 👍 💰💸💎💰💸👍. I've got bills to pay while I wait for Steem to go to the moon 🌜.

Share you problem! Not an age thing (I'm betting I'm a lot older). Just wanted to reassure you. So now you know, yo, bro!
Oranges are weird, but as long as you haven't gone bananas.....

Lol, I've seen people who aren't that much younger than me seem really impressed by hearing the word "Versace" repeated three times in a row and I was really starting to wonder if I'd gone bananas

jajaja que bella amiga, y la edad es lo de menos con esa gran actitud que tienes. Un besoo

Look into "KILL THE PAD" CHALLENGE" here on the steemit platform! I do daily raps on my page, but i might try my hand at writing soon. I saw this post under "rap", and figured you'd be a good candidate for the contest as well.

Looks like a nice competition. Just freestyled something on it. Thanks for the info

Thanks! I'm more of a singer than a rapper but I'll check it out
