Exis ft. Master Rock-Hip Hop
 

Master Rock:
From the park to the streets, from the west to the east
it’s the war, it’s the peace, the inheritance of the meek,
to the pain that it leaks, from the blood that they seek
It’s what keeps me… up at night
It’s the strain, it’s the strife
the process of my plight, it’s knowing when to pick the fruit when it's ripe
its's harvesting seed to bloom for my rights,
It’s sight beyond sight, it's more than the eye can see
interdimensional, a vision beyond three
times as dope, it pierces the vein another way cope,
I reminisce and I poke, diggin deep and I soak,
from the bus stop, mean streaking streets for props
we scoping out the plots aiming for perfect spots
it’s an understanding, an urge the itch don't stop
starving to eat all the toys in the shop
breaking, all the way to pop n locks
table turn, revealing
not the cristal nor the bottle pops
It's the mean, it’s the streaks
It's the nod to these beats
It's the night and the freaks
honey drips in them sheets
throw-ups in them streets
fat laces on my cleats
sparking of the leaf
From the clenching of my teeth
savoring of the beef
It's the reach from my peak
where the wonders never cease
It's the culture
it's the art, It's my part
lifeforce, my heart
It's where the rhythm starts
it's the blues
from the color that they choose
It's the samples so give me a little piece
It's the chops so gimme that beat

Exis:
It's shinin' brightness - It's darkness, decay
It's life & a predator stalkin' it's prey
It's walkin' this way, It's not conformin'
It's cold as ice, It's hot & scorchin'
It's silence & screams, It's to die, It's to breathe
Amongst creeps & violence, It's a child of the streets
It's to cloak your image, It's to provoke the limits
It's the realest shit, It's jokes & gimmicks
Food for thoughts up in it, churnin' your mind
It's a la carte, It's a burger with fries
It's a burden, It's light - It's discernin' a lie
It's a tidal wave & it's turnin' the tide
It's clarity, It's to blaze a sack
It's fakes & acts, It's to state the facts
Got the grace & tact of a social retard
It's an expandin' mind, It's total recall
It's peace & calm with enough havoc
It's blood splatters, Love & drug addicts
It's rough, savage - It's upholdin' decrees
It's anarchy, It's the code of the streets
Got laws of it's own, Never go to the police
It's the written word, It's to flow on a beat
It's rockin' a show, On your block, On the go
It's conflict, Withstandin' all the shots & them blows
Lacin' them tracks, It's young peeps achin' for stature
It's DJ's, Graffiti, Breakin' & rappin'
State of emergency, Nowadays it's gats, Pimpin' & crack
But I love it, It's Hip Hop, & it's as simple as that.

Why did you edit my first line like that...?

Fixed.

Master rock was cool. Lost me in some spots with your scheme. Got a little to wordy and added 1 or 2 too many syllables once in a while. Concept was cool. Fun flex

Actually thought Exis came in and stole the show here, pretty solid. Nice way to close out dude.

Concept was cool.

Props on the feed. Stay up.

Felt the same, Rock had a decent verse but it wasn't nothing spectacular and it might be nitpicking but you referred to the streets a lot for my liking would have liked to see you use a different vocabulary choice but it's cool. Thought it was decent just felt a little simple imo

Exis had a lot of dope concepts here snd an awesome flow throughout loved the comparisons and how you kinda hushed the people saying you're good on flow but never really on topic you've had a couple dope outings as a topical writer as of late. Cool collab guys

Yo Adverse, I grew up in the streets where Hip Hop became a part of my everyday life. It might sound cliche but it is my experience. But respect, different strokes for different folks.

Good looks on the feed Ad, 'tis appreciated fam...

Nice. A back to basics collab that reminds the reader why we're even here on this site. in some cases, where we're at in life. I caught the passion in this for sure. Rock you brought some nice images in your verse. Rhyme scheme was straightforward but the flow was nice for the most part. Exis, compoundtastic stuff. The use of opposites to illustrate the huge spectrum that hip-hop represents was inspired and had me cracking a smile before i was even halfway done. You brought the imagery and the philosophy in a great verse.

Good work gents. I'll keep an eye out for more drops. Please rtf if I ever get around to dropping something new in here.

Gracias fam...niggas need to show more love to Master though, thought he held shit down.

Up

Master Rock
pretty cool verse. it rhyme fairly well. I can't say any one line in particular grabbed me or anything like that. But overall it was a cool ode to the artform. Decent stuff to be sure.

Exis
You seemed focused. Very choice and concise with the your words. Your imagery was on point, and I felt the emotion and flow were both stellar. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Good shit.
