VHS vs DVD (Feat. MMLP)
 

I'm not new on the scene like this DVD disc is
- they were queuing for me before he even existed!
Your superior image quality may be a digital dream
but mine still appears like they did it, ORIGINALLY!
It's pixels you need, you can count on my frames
Tryna kick it with me you'll be down on your face.
I'm out on display, you're trapped under boxes
Shoved outta the way at the back of the loft, bitch.
The fact is I'm top pick, straight off the shelf,
while you're flat out obnoxious.. quit playing yourself!
Fans burn you daily as well, you don't define the new age,
I reign with the belt cause I Betamax while you BluRay!
Got them tiny screws loose mate, I'm the tower above
you're a pile of huge waste that's down in the dumps.
You got wound up for fun... Mister V.H.S
recording hours as much as these tapes stretched!
Aren't you cheapskate end products resusable, mate?
Then how come we played better until it chewed up the tape!
See with you in the tray and the face scratched a bit
then it's true what they say... Playback's a bitch!
So what, I lay flat and spin, but this bitches cycle's done
In the same act we fixed and finished titles up.
With the midas touch to end our motion pictures
When you did a final cut... it involved some scissors!
Our users hold us with an unmistakable pride
while your glory hole gets fingered every day of your life.
Plus you're way overpriced, the way you skip is a data risk,
and I HATE your design, you ole LaserDisc plagiarist.
I'm an entertainment system that's a gift for the house
A creative vision, it's why your whinging so loud!
Bro, your signal is out now you've met your maker
You're beginning to sound like a broken record, player!
I hope you get a laser that burns you a secondary hole
- you'll need all those extra layers once you're left in the cold.
Collectors alone always want the better release
and 4K's the end for us both, inevitably!
As the more successful machine going from flights to a PC
Now you're begging of me to be signing a treaty?
Your time is beneath me, condemned to a life of misery,
while the two sides of my DVDs are re-writing history!
You might just disagree, and us tapes did just that,
standing by implicitly til we were erased from the past.
Replaced by our natural successors in time
- once they leave the factory, we're end of the line!
We're a set of devices that would equally gloat
as our competitors strived on beating us both.
We'll reap what we sow as now all of a sudden
people stream what they own at the touch of a button.
Once the production line crawls to a stop
our Judgement Day cometh, in the form of a box.
We'll all become obsolete, covered in rust,
with a new dawn of technology pulling the plug.
We should have adjusted before the internet
just as the dust settled on dormant E-cassettes.
Yet with all the streams the web has to be downloaded by
I'm sure we'll meet again, somewhere in that Cloud in the sky!

This is a great concept. At the start, it seemed like maybe there wasn't enough meat on the bone for this beef -- but in the middle it heated up with some hilarious lines.

final cut/scissors... glory hole... laserdisc plagiarist... broken record player...

Cool concept. Text is not dead! Thanks fellas.

Im bumping this MF

Shit was slept on @Clutbuck LOL

As an old fuck who's unfortunately familiar with both medias (and their flaws as you play with here) this was pretty amusing.
So yeah, dope concept and execution here.

Collectors alone always want the better release
and 4K's the end for us both, inevitably!
Indeed.

lol, this was a fun read... i'll edit in some more feed later, but enjoyed it fellas.
@MMLP you gonna come back to GWL for the playoffs or what?

I may do, too much nonsense lol

You’ve a guaranteed spot in the playoffs as your record is one of the best win percentage wise, FYI

Aren't you cheapskate end products resusable, mate?
Then how come we played better until it chewed up the tape!

^^Lol...

Killer shit y'all, I'll echo what previous have said & say dope ass concept...You compliment each other well.I enjoyed the whole thing from top to bottom, what I quoted though was stellar...Good stuff my peoples.

dope super dope it was like from start to finish just my style dude - i hear but it is only a rumour that blockbuster in australia is the only one still moven them but even that rymours old.. and back to the verse the line structure was looser then your usual piece but the straight up raw personal pov touch you add to all your pieces really brought out the emotion.. cool story wise aswell.. all and all just a dope piece.. the condemned line was my fav dope piece dude..

Loved this. Creative and some great lines. This is the type of concept I would've loved to be involved with.

Good job, fellas.

ha ha this was awesome. well im team VHS for nostalgic reason lulz

When you did a final cut... it involved some scissors!
