Crazy Verse: Joell Ortiz – A Couple Dollars
Joell, my goodness. Gets better by each line…
As a youngin’, had a lot on my plate I ain’t finna complain, just had a lot on my plate Razors, 12 12 skinnies and 58s I cooked a 6 deuce and came back with 58 I ain’t stressin’, I ain’t stretch it, I just cheffed it in the butter Orville Redenbacher, had it poppin’, word to mother Swervin’ under covers, had it local, had it OT Whippin’ up P-O-T tryna get to the T-O-P Get in and get out, that’s always the plan But all of them bands to a kid in the project who had nothin’, so damned Hard to let go from starvin’ stomach, hollow with the echo To the hardest Marc Ecko extra large retro MJs before they dropped, but a lot started to drop Stick up kids got the drop, my sneaker box dropped Dropped crack, switched to diesel when some fiends dropped Feds eavesdroppin” on my drop, got ’em street blocked They dropped by my man’s spot so now he locked I drop to both knees prayin’ dimes don’t get dropped Dropped it all, be the bird locked in the coupe Or take your talent more serious and lock in that booth I chose the latter, and thank God for showin’ Joe the ladder Helped me climb through these rhymes Who said I would never matter? Look at me, such a hard act to follow Lookin’ forward to tomorrow, you’ll never hear me holler

Inspiration: Dizzy Wright
We all striving to be comfortable and happy
But in life we go the distance
A major part in life is building the life you wanna live with
I know we lack patience, but you gotta stay consistent
Only you can slow you down, turn your dreams into commitments
Making sense with a sentence, Golden Age and I’m vintage

The Wordplay is above average.
Some philosophy from Mega
MegaPhilosophy is one of my favorite albums of the last few years. I’ve never heard Mega so sharp on the wordplay. This album is specifically raw truth and wisdom. Here’s a few nuggets from Mega…
- “Misery loves company, I chose seclusion”
- “Lies mean nothing ever since I found truth”
- “I stay clear of snake heads with venomous thoughts, poison your kind, resist if you mentally strong”
- “Death comes to all, Midas well live it up!”
- “Learn to cherish every meal on the stove and the clothes she bought you though she couldn’t afford to”
- “In the face of adversity, my shield is faith”
- “When your mind is not confined, that’s when you’re free”
- “Saying life’s a bitch is getting old, if your life ain’t in order – seize control”
- “On the road to the riches you exposed to resentment, everybody want to eat but they won’t do the dishes”
- “Adversity is a lesson, be composed”
- “People who never voted, betray you for dead presidents”
