Sini taking out those haterz was beautiful, man. Reminiscent of when Eminem spit "Lose Yourself" in Eight Mile.

I believe it's more grammatically correct to say, "Fuck you as well". :eye:

i'm not a rapper by any means. that implies that there's some sort of a brand/product going on.... i just have moments in time and space where i can rap really really well. usually when the pressure's on, preferably at gunpoint. it's hard to overthink those flows, and if there's one thing everyone in this thread can agree on it's that i've had a lot of time to devote to the fine art of the overthought.

no, back when i used to hang in the neighborhood way more i'd just freestyle while i was walking down the street from point A to point B. i was working on the whole stagefright thing without the benefit of having any stages around to play with. the kids must have remembered me cuz i was some kind of awful at it and in no way said anything they enjoyed.

but hey does anyone remember that bernie mac used to give scheduled/ish standup sets on the brown line? he'd tell some people to show up at like 7 o'clock at a certain station and then in the middle of the train he'd just do his early routine. at least i wasn't doing it in enclosed areas with more than 10+ sec of exposure to any given member of the public.

My mistake. I thought you considered yourself better than Macklemore. I must have been mistaken.

He's being modest. I've seen him bend space and time with a rhyme at the Celtic Knot in Evanston and the bartender was so smitten she wet herself.

ok welp you (sarcastically) asked for it.

i used to be friends/friendly with a local chicago underground rapper named robust. that said i'd try to come out and support his shows when i can cuz he's a good dude. so one night there was jam one's birthday party @ some place right by that handlebars bar on north ave (you know, the one with all the bikes/parts on the ceiling and in the back?) but it was an off-the-books/unofficial venue, this means that it was a throwback rap show because you could smoke what you wanted when you wanted and they were selling ice cold cans of PBR for like $2-3. it was grand. there were also a whole bunch of ciphers going on outside/inside/wherever because see, you know, there's this "oldschool mentality" at rap shows where people used to break out into circles of rap/dance between/during sets (respectively) because it was almost as if they had the boundless audacity to think that they perhaps had a little something something to contribute to the evening even if they weren't on stage.

so i did my thing in like 10+ ciphers and at some point in the crowd i ran into this rapper dude kid static. now i was a bit thrown off by his set because all i remember of it was that at one point he was on stage grabbing his dick rapping about megaman, but hey he did a track named "volcano" with my guy actual fact, so i was thinking there might be a chance at the whole friend-of-a-friend thing working out to help me figure out a way to take all that goofy quasi/artistry i was doing a lot of back then and like.... you know, learning how "the game" works etc etc etc.

problem was that when i approached him and said high he was like WHOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU?!?!?!?! like the fucking cheshire cat. at first i was "huh?" and made the mistake of trying to re-explain myself to him which only elicited another "WHOOOOOOOO ARE YOU?!?!?!" so after 3 or 4 of those i stop and say "ok asshole, i might be nobody.... but i'm a new enemy of yours. i'm going to remember this and someday you're going to pay for this asshole...." so whatever, i walked off and him and the 2-3 little giggling groupies on his nuts all enjoyed a laugh at my expense.

so go figure that after all the rap shows since it was jam-one's birthday and he was a beatboxer/DJ eventually turned photographer, when he got up there and started doing his thing they were like "any mcs in the crowd wanna come on stage?" and i was prodded on by a few people to go up there because i was doing my thing in the ciphers earlier. so i accepted the prodding and ended up on stage and before i could even really do anything like his real namesake i see MOSES (kid static) parting the fucking red sea in convenient crowd format making a bee-line straight to the stage where he grabs a mic and says "i'm sorry everyone.... i know you didn't come here to see a rap battle but i gotta son this guy and let him know his place" --- all i mustered back was a quick "thanks dad"

now, when the beat was dropped he decided to go first.... but think about it for a sec, what did he really know about me? not a goddamn thing other than 1) i'm white 2) i'm overweight and 3) i'm wearing a camoflagued expos jersey/cap. that's all he's got so he spends a minute or doing his best "YOU'RE A FAT WHITE NOBODY" attack at me (jeez.... it's like deja vu all over again, eh? =) and then i'm up....

and well, this is where things get a little bit dodgy because i was "in the zone".... alls i remember from my first ~45seconds was that i pointed out his lack of anything on me and rhymed something about being a freestyle heavyweight that levitates over his tepid hate... you know, lyrical bullshit. but at the end of my verse i went off on the motherfucker.... remembering that part where he was on stage grabbing his dick rapping about megaman i said something like "don't you know that dicks are for chicks and you can't have it like the trix rabbit? call me your son but you're still the kid, static, cuz off the lid step to me and you'll always look like a silly burrito"

and as i hit the word burrito the crowd was going all kinds of OOOOOHHHHHHH so i held out the mic like em at the end of 8-mile, dropped it, and proceeded to walk off the stage into the crowd for my HHH(homeys/hugs/handshakes) circuit, making a quick pitstop behind the speakers to grab that tupac "i get around" 12" i had stashed cuz i picked it up b4 the show. so as i grabbed that some white dude runs up to me and says "uhhhh you're going to have to leave... you're intimidating our talent!" to which i was just like "YOU DAMN RIGHT" and i walked out of the place holding the 2pac "i get around" 12" over my head pretty genuinely amused at what had went down.

the first time i ever heard anybody bring it up when i was at a art fair at division/damen and i randomly hear somebody yell out "HEY I KNOW YOU.... YOU'RE A GENIUS!!! I KNOW YOU YOU'RE THAT GENIUS THAT SERVED KID STATIC!!!!!!" and it was chicago street legend / real-heir-to-the-wesley-willis-empire, sharkula. we ended up discussing his thoughts over $140 of weed, scotch, and chicken wings.... good dude.

Dear Lord, that is difficult to read. But entertaining nonetheless.

It is the oldest story in the book. You meet with an underground rapper, ciphers are happening everywhere, an old school mentality abounds, yada, yada, yada.

i used to be friends/friendly with a local chicago underground rapper named robust. that said i'd try to come out and support his shows when i can cuz he's a good dude. so one night there was jam one's birthday party @ some place right by that handlebars bar on north ave (you know, the one with all the bikes/parts on the ceiling and in the back?) but it was an off-the-books/unofficial venue, this means that it was a throwback rap show because you could smoke what you wanted when you wanted and they were selling ice cold cans of PBR for like $2-3. it was grand. there were also a whole bunch of ciphers going on outside/inside/wherever because see, you know, there's this "oldschool mentality" at rap shows where people used to break out into circles of rap/dance between/during sets (respectively) because it was almost as if they had the boundless audacity to think that they perhaps had a little something something to contribute to the evening even if they weren't on stage.

so i did my thing in like 10+ ciphers and at some point in the crowd i ran into this rapper dude kid static. now i was a bit thrown off by his set because all i remember of it was that at one point he was on stage grabbing his dick rapping about megaman, but hey he did a track named "volcano" with my guy actual fact, so i was thinking there might be a chance at the whole friend-of-a-friend thing working out to help me figure out a way to take all that goofy quasi/artistry i was doing a lot of back then and like.... you know, learning how "the game" works etc etc etc.

problem was that when i approached him and said high he was like WHOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU?!?!?!?! like the fucking cheshire cat. at first i was "huh?" and made the mistake of trying to re-explain myself to him which only elicited another "WHOOOOOOOO ARE YOU?!?!?!" so after 3 or 4 of those i stop and say "ok asshole, i might be nobody.... but i'm a new enemy of yours. i'm going to remember this and someday you're going to pay for this asshole...." so whatever, i walked off and him and the 2-3 little giggling groupies on his nuts all enjoyed a laugh at my expense.

so go figure that after all the rap shows since it was jam-one's birthday and he was a beatboxer/DJ eventually turned photographer, when he got up there and started doing his thing they were like "any mcs in the crowd wanna come on stage?" and i was prodded on by a few people to go up there because i was doing my thing in the ciphers earlier. so i accepted the prodding and ended up on stage and before i could even really do anything like his real namesake i see MOSES (kid static) parting the fucking red sea in convenient crowd format making a bee-line straight to the stage where he grabs a mic and says "i'm sorry everyone.... i know you didn't come here to see a rap battle but i gotta son this guy and let him know his place" --- all i mustered back was a quick "thanks dad"

now, when the beat was dropped he decided to go first.... but think about it for a sec, what did he really know about me? not a goddamn thing other than 1) i'm white 2) i'm overweight and 3) i'm wearing a camoflagued expos jersey/cap. that's all he's got so he spends a minute or doing his best "YOU'RE A FAT WHITE NOBODY" attack at me (jeez.... it's like deja vu all over again, eh? =) and then i'm up....

and well, this is where things get a little bit dodgy because i was "in the zone".... alls i remember from my first ~45seconds was that i pointed out his lack of anything on me and rhymed something about being a freestyle heavyweight that levitates over his tepid hate... you know, lyrical bullshit. but at the end of my verse i went off on the motherfucker.... remembering that part where he was on stage grabbing his dick rapping about megaman i said something like "don't you know that dicks are for chicks and you can't have it like the trix rabbit? call me your son but you're still the kid, static, cuz off the lid step to me and you'll always look like a silly burrito"

and as i hit the word burrito the crowd was going all kinds of OOOOOHHHHHHH so i held out the mic like em at the end of 8-mile, dropped it, and proceeded to walk off the stage into the crowd for my HHH(homeys/hugs/handshakes) circuit, making a quick pitstop behind the speakers to grab that tupac "i get around" 12" i had stashed cuz i picked it up b4 the show. so as i grabbed that some white dude runs up to me and says "uhhhh you're going to have to leave... you're intimidating our talent!" to which i was just like "YOU DAMN RIGHT" and i walked out of the place holding the 2pac "i get around" 12" over my head pretty genuinely amused at what had went down.

the first time i ever heard anybody bring it up when i was at a art fair at division/damen and i randomly hear somebody yell out "HEY I KNOW YOU.... YOU'RE A GENIUS!!! I KNOW YOU YOU'RE THAT GENIUS THAT SERVED KID STATIC!!!!!!" and it was chicago street legend / real-heir-to-the-wesley-willis-empire, sharkula. we ended up discussing his thoughts over $140 of weed, scotch, and chicken wings.... good dude.

ok welp you (sarcastically) asked for it.

i used to be friends/friendly with a local chicago underground rapper named robust. that said i'd try to come out and support his shows when i can cuz he's a good dude. so one night there was jam one's birthday party @ some place right by that handlebars bar on north ave (you know, the one with all the bikes/parts on the ceiling and in the back?) but it was an off-the-books/unofficial venue, this means that it was a throwback rap show because you could smoke what you wanted when you wanted and they were selling ice cold cans of PBR for like $2-3. it was grand. there were also a whole bunch of ciphers going on outside/inside/wherever because see, you know, there's this "oldschool mentality" at rap shows where people used to break out into circles of rap/dance between/during sets (respectively) because it was almost as if they had the boundless audacity to think that they perhaps had a little something something to contribute to the evening even if they weren't on stage.
