K.A.L Lyrics

There are too many MC's who are overrated
There is an abundance of MCs who are receiving excessive praise and recognition despite their lack of talent or skill

You ask me, they wasn't even supposed to make it
In my opinion, these MCs never had the potential or ability to succeed in the first place

In the rap biz, they don't know what rap is
Within the rap industry, these individuals lack a true understanding of what true rap music should be

So give it up, become a actor or a actress
Therefore, it would be better for them to pursue careers in acting rather than continuing to attempt rap music

Or a producer, cause you fail to use the
Alternatively, they could explore opportunities in music production since they are unable to properly utilize the microphone

Mic right, so take flight before I bruise ya
Since they struggle with utilizing the microphone effectively, they should retreat before they face severe criticism or backlash

For sayin those bull crap wack raps on wax
They deserve to be reprimanded for creating and releasing inferior, nonsensical rap lyrics on record

You need to get smacked, sit back and rip that contract
They should face the consequences, reflect on their poor performance, and terminate any record contracts they hold

Hey yo, I'm serious, Big L ain't playin games
I want to emphasize that I am sincere and serious in my critique, as artist Big L does not joke around

I should get foul and buck wild and start sayin names
I am tempted to become aggressive and call out specific individuals by name for their lack of skill and credibility

But deep down inside you know who you are
However, deep down, these individuals are aware of their own lack of talent and credibility

Your rhymes are not up to par, you fake superstar
Their lyrics do not meet the standards expected of a true artist, making them false and fraudulent in their claim to be superstars

And that really gets on my nerve
This fact greatly irritates and bothers me

When a rapper gets the credit that he dont deserve
It is frustrating to witness a rapper being praised and recognized for their work, despite not deserving such credit

Goin platinum and don't have no soul
Some artists achieve great commercial success, such as selling one million records, without possessing any genuine artistic depth or soul

Some rappers are mad nice and don't even go gold
On the other hand, some highly skilled rappers do not achieve the level of commercial success symbolized by selling 500,000 records

I don't like the way it's goin down
The current trend and direction of the rap industry is disheartening and unsatisfactory to me

Because it should be the other way around
I believe that the situation should be reversed and that true talent and skill should be the primary determinants of success

MC's what's goin on?
I'm addressing and inquiring about the state of affairs among MCs

I don't understand, man, how rappers cold transform
I am perplexed by how rappers can undergo a complete transformation, often for the worse

One minute you're hardcore and raw
Initially, these rappers were recognized for their intense and authentic style

That's what you was known for, but not no more
However, they have since lost that image and reputation

You changed, you rearranged
They have altered their style and approach to their craft

You're not the same, your raps are plain
They are no longer the distinctive and remarkable artists they once were, and their lyrics have become dull and unimpressive

That explain why you lost your fame
This change in style and skill level explains why they have lost their original level of fame and recognition

Used to be on top, then you fell like rain drops
They were once at the pinnacle of success, but they have now fallen dramatically, similar to raindrops descending from the sky

You turned pop, now you no longer gain props
They have transitioned into creating pop-oriented music, resulting in them losing the respect and admiration they once received

Who's fault is that? Nobody's but your own, black
There is nobody to blame for this decline in success except themselves, as they made conscious choices that led them down this path

Used to make fat tracks, jack, but now you're stone wack
They used to produce exceptional and quality music, my friend, but currently, their work is incredibly subpar and unimpressive

So MC's, don't ever step out your range
MCs, it is crucial that you stick to what you are truly capable of and not attempt anything beyond your skill level

Remain the same
Stay true to your original style and identity

And only change with the time
The only acceptable alterations should be in accordance with the evolving trends and demands of the industry

Unless you get dropped like a dime
Otherwise, you run the risk of being cast aside or dropped by record labels and fans

Go for yours like I'm goin for mine
Pursue your own goals and ambitions with the same determination and drive as I do

But if you're rough, stay rough, if you're dap, stay dapper
If your style is raw and rugged, then maintain that persona, and if you have a sophisticated and smooth image, uphold that as well

And never try to look or even sound like another rapper
Avoid the temptation to imitate or mimic the appearance and sound of another rapper

Just fulfill your own needs
Focus on meeting your own artistic desires and objectives

Some rappers wore gold chains, and now they're wearin beads?
It is perplexing and disappointing to witness some rappers who were once known for their lavish gold chains now resorting to wearing cheap beads

This is how it should be done
I believe this is the correct and appropriate way to approach and excel in rap music

I'm not the one, and my raps is strong like rum
I should clarify that I am not speaking about myself, as my own rap skills are powerful and impactful, just like rum

But some MC's grab the mic and sound dumb
On the other hand, certain MCs come across as unintelligent and foolish when they take hold of the microphone

Plus slum (How come?) Rap skills they have none
Furthermore, their rap skills are extremely lacking, leaving a lot to be desired

And I wonder how the hell they records sell
I find it puzzling and frustrating how these individuals manage to sell their records despite their lack of talent

They raps are stale and frail
Their raps are stagnant and feeble, lacking freshness and strength

They're false like fairy tales
Their persona and image are fake, just like the stories found in fairy tales

Your technique and everything you speak's weak
The manner in which you deliver your raps and the content of your lyrics are both feeble and unimpressive

You got a little airplay because of your beats
The only reason you receive minimal radio airplay is primarily due to the quality of your instrumentals rather than your actual rapping skills

Your fame and your name, but your lyrics are lame, black
Although you may be famous and recognized by name, the lyrics you produce are incredibly dull and uninspiring

Step to this and get ran over like train tracks
If you dare challenge me, you will be easily overwhelmed and defeated just like a train running over tracks

Your raps border wack, and you went on tour with that
Your raps are teetering on the edge of being extremely subpar, and yet you proudly showcased them during your concert tour

Crap, don't understand it, cause rhyme skills you lack
To be honest, I am perplexed and cannot comprehend how you lack the necessary skills to construct meaningful and impressive rhymes

I got more soul that Nike Airs, givin MC's nightmares
I possess a greater amount of soul and authenticity than even the iconic Nike Airs shoes, which causes MCs to be fearful and concerned about their own abilities in comparison

Rappers be frontin hard, and rhymes they don't write theirs
Rappers often put up a false and exaggerated front, pretending to be skilled and creative lyricists when, in reality, they don't even write their own rhymes

But still call themselves MC's
Despite this fact, they continue to label themselves as MCs

Please, how could that be?
I find it hard to believe or comprehend how such individuals can claim such a title when they lack the fundamental skills and qualities expected of an MC

How MC's take this rap game for granted
I am disturbed and puzzled by how MCs fail to recognize and appreciate the true essence and value of the rap game
