Thoughts on the song:
This was a lil sumthin I threw together real quick this week that just skims back a few notches into my past as a kid and mixes in some of my personal feelings then and now! Just threw this together for fun on my free-time this week...my nigga Jesus on the production boards ofcourse! Let us know what'cha think of the track overall and the production.

-Thanks

Lyrics:

1st Verse-
Flashback, let's rewind the clock..
backwards to a spot when Kurse was still Rock..,
before he knew rap, Bolingbrook on the map..
Fernwood was the block dat the Kings tend to flood alot.
I remember when they spray-painted the house wit the crown..
forks down, like they was renoun..,
at dat point my momma was ready to move out..
set sail and find a way up outta this town.
Bridgeport was home afta dat..
South side till we die, let it fade to black...came on back..,
you could say return of tha mack, from a boy to a man...
...whut'chu kno about that!?
Childhood to adulthood ova-nite..
learned to hustle...got into a few fights..,
dats life, I was ridin the fast track..
ahead of my time, not born to be laughed at.

(Hook) **2x's -
"I grew up being a pest...
...tried my best to get along wit the rest.
They say I'm cursed, but I say dat I'm gifted...
...whats more to say than the fact that I'm Different!?"

2nd Verse-
At this stage I was slightly an asshole..
rotten lil adolescent born of a blackhole..,
never went to class, somehow I passed yo..
hated scool so much that I'd rather watch grass grow.
Fuck it...
dat's the life fo' me, the life I lead, everything tends to be a fantasy..
I don't git shit fo' free while these suburban lil kids get everything they see.
All they gotta say is..,
"Hey mommy, mommy...look at Tommy...he got one befahh me...
...it's not fair. You said I could have thatttt...
...now go git it quick cuz you're ruining my rep!!!"
Damn...
wish I had it that easy, to turn around to my momz and be talkin all greezy.
If I did that...she would crack me one, watch me run..,
chase me wit a chankla son...she's tha one, who tried to keep me on track..,
but I rebeled every moment and ignored tha facts.
I was wreckless...steady caught in the momemnt..
..if you don't believe me, my criminal record'll show it!

(HOOK REPEATS) **2x's

3rd Verse-
So I'm a lil older...matured a bit..,
makin better decisions and things are startin to click.
Life is makin sense. Pieces startin to fit..,
..my shit is coming along pretty well I gotta admit.
I came to a point I don't need no help..,
and if I want a better life, I gotta git it myself
and if I'm goin to rap...
...i need to do just that! Battle my way to tha top and git my name on tha map.
I'm statin tha facts on every single one of my tracks..
I'm eatin the competition up like a bowl full'a snacks..,
and not even tax, the pussies that I damage on wax..
sooner or later they all land up lying flat on their backs!
Yea...
...things started off rough, but now dat the ball is rollin I can never git enuff.
Born different...got control of my game..,
but at the end of the day, I guess we might be kind'a the same.

(HOOK REPEATS) **4x's

This Shit Wasn't Bad At all Son..
I was Feelings D.J Beat i Used The Same Exact Typa Beat It Wus a Lil Different...
The Lyrics Was Cool... The Whole Lil Life storyline Wus Coo...
Flow Wus straight.. Lyrics wus Coo.. Emotion In ya voice wus Dere..
Keep Doing You

loved the beat.

but kurse....i dont know what to say.
like its not the i dont like it. its the fact that im gettin bored listening to ya.im not beefin or ne thing. but i dk. every time i hear ya tracks. it just seems like the same old kurse.same voice. same flow (for the most part hard to explain tho). i dk im just gettin really bored with ya tracks.

sorry but i have to give u my opinion

although i did love the chorus

Dead Silence wrote:every time i hear ya tracks. it just seems like the same old kurse.same voice.

I appreciate all feedback I get, and I can take critisism n' shit just as well as the next man...but think about what ur sayin TK.

Same ol Kurse...same voice.

OFCOURSE I'MA HAVE THE SAME VOICE!!!

I'm an emcee! Not a vantriliquist! All artists have a voice that seperates them from the other. When you hear 50...you know it's 50. Same wit Kanye. When you hear Kanye, then you know it's Kanye. Weezy...like him or not, when u hear him on a song, you just know it's him! Well why do I need to be different. If I sounded different on every track (or had a different voice on every song as you say)...then Kurse just wouldn't have a VOICE!

So when you say that, honestly it just sounds kinda dumb. I change up the flow on sum tracks...but my voice and my style are just the articles that make me who I am as an artist. If I changed my voice and swagga on every track...then I wouldn't have an identity. Think about it.

i know what your saying.But like i dont know. maybe its not your "voice" your presence on the mic maybe? when i hear a RB track i wanna hear that pain that your feelin or w.e it is.When i hear a Diss track.a serous one i wanna hear that aggression. i guess thats what it is. its the same emotion on every track. atleast thats the way it sounds. Like viral. i love listening to him but same you i get bored with it because the emotion seems the same. i dont even know if emotion is the word for it. but i want to feel what ever you want me to feel. I wanna feel the pain and sorrow that you feel i wanna feel the anger that you do.

Concept Was Nice, Flow Was Good Thru The Track.
i Wasnt Feelin The Beat, But Beat Doesnt Count As Ur Skill.
Thats How i Caught it, But Dead Silence is Right
You Should Switch Ya Style Up i Dont Mean Lie in Ya Raps
Just Like, Dont Sound The Same Thru Every Track
You Should Use Multies And More Then 1 Syllables
"Millz Sick, Real Quick, Still Rip"
Then Add Similess,Metaphors, paradoxes ..Damn Kurse
Then i Bet You Gonna Sound Sick As Fuck In Yo Tracks
Neva Drop Something Fast To Get Done For The Fuck Of It
Always Come Ya Best, Lyrics That Anybody Can Write isnt That Entertaining
But No Hate im Just Leaving Honest Feed
Only THing i Didnt Like Was The Beat, And how u Dont Switch Style
Example, Play The Games Track And Ull Find Nothing Different
But Then This One New Track His Style Changed And He Didnt Sound
As If You Could Get Him Mistaked As Talking Through The Track.
But Hey Nobody is Perfect, i Always Had Flow Just Not Da Lyrics
Back Then ..
But Ya Lyrics Were Kool, Just Add Atleast Simily, Or Meta4 Then its A Wrap.
Keep Up With Ya Rapping And Try What i Told You, Ull Become Beast if u
Keep On Practicing.

What ur sayin is that he's got bad delivery... I don't agree, pure and simple

In fact his voice fits these types of tracks, deep and mellow - unlike Viral who's sounding like he's just fuckin around on tracks, like he's relaxed or sth.. lol.. but these are only characteristics which creates the artist - like Kurse stated in his post, but i respect your opinion.. no hard feelings, just suggesting that u should say u don't like a guy due to his voice (to be honest with u, i thought a lil bit the same when i heard Kurse for the first time, but then i started listening to the artist.. that changed perspectives of things)

Yeah But Hey Thats Just My Opinion ..
We All Got Different Opinions, But As Long
As He not "Actin" Fake Like Some People On Here
And Just Doing His Thing ..So Kurse Got My Respect On Here

Well I definately appreciate your thoughts and critisism on it all. I've only been doin music for goin onto 4 years now...writing for maybe about 6 and a half. So really I haven't been doin this for a long time...but no matter if I'm a seasoned vet or a rookie...I think that no matter what stage ur at, you'll always have room for growth and improvement.

Really at the end of high school I still had no idea what to do with myself. Kinda felt like a floater. But when I discovered writing...it was like damn...I didn't wanna do anything else in life but that. It took me a while, but atleast I can say I'm doin what I absolutely love.

I'm just glad that all of you take a moment out of ur days to check it out, and let me know what you think I did right and what I did wrong. So I always take into account what you guys say and absorb it for what it is because in the end it'll just make me more well-rounded.

So thanks again Bear...Miilz...I'm definately hearin u guys.

Yeah ..As Long As U Being You
And keepin it Real Your A True Lyricist in My Eyes.
i Check All The Audios That Get Dropped in Here
But i Never Left Feed To Nobody But i Will Start Now.

Yo ..
Everyone Knows Me And Kurse Got Are Lil Problems
But Noone Can Knock Dood For His Voice Or His Flow...


Really at the end of high school I still had no idea what to do with myself. Kinda felt like a floater. But when I discovered writing

^ How i've Been Feeling For eva ....

i get sick n Tired of hustlin Man.. The Thought of gettin Put away for
Most my Life jus Fucks me up.. Plus i jus gota job And Dont Wanna stay Dere fa Eva... So i Feel Wut U Saying...

I Think Dis Wus Different Topic Wise..
I Use To Talk Shit Bout Cha Style And Wud Not..
But i Think ya Style And Voice is Wut Makes You You..
You Differ From ya Whole Camp... Ekoms And Viral Got da Lil Multi Shit going...K.O.. i Can't Speak For Don't Listen To Him eva...
G Baby Got His Own Style And HKX Got His Own Flow ..

I feel you Haz...I was in those shoes at one point and shit just gets crazier as time goes on unless you get a grasp of what you're searching for.

Right outta high school I was out and about doing stupid shit, and I got popped off. It was just my time I guess cuz luck don't last forever. I remember I was in and out of court for years and the longer it carried on...the more overwhelming it got. One day I came across this judge that just wasn't hearing it and decided that he was gonna make an example out of me and locked me up straight from court. I lost a great payin job...hell. lost a few things.

So it wasn't till after August 3rd of 2001 when my sentence was finally served, that I wrote my first song. And shit'z been a roller-coaster since then! Our enviornment helps build who we are...but it's ur passion that'll push you the rest of the way after that. So while ur still a young buck...organize ur ideas and figure out ur game-plan! You'll be glad you did.

As for all of us on illest here...we all offer various styles and swagga when we hit the mic! I'm just glad to see more niggaz steppin up audio-wise instead of stayin glued to text! It definately brings more attention to the site, ya know!? And shit...while we're on it and niggaz are uppin they game...we still need to do that big-ass site collab wit all the audio artists from illest on dat shit!

Yep Dat Shit Will Be ill
Get On Tha Nicest Beat To

First verse
It was a good intro

"I remember when they spray-painted the house wit the crown.."
wish you made this sentence one word shorter for flows sake

2nd Verse
amazing verse. good emotion and delivery.

"....suburban lil kids get everything they see. "
you shouldn't have stretched the word 'get', for flows sake

3rd verse

i didnt like the ending , it sounded forced.


the chorus is amazing

One of your best tracks.
I know what dead silence is saying. He's right. Some of your tracks are emotionless. And they sound forced. Like you picked a random topic and rapped about it without really 'feeling' it.
But in this track you can feel the emotion.
Good job.


And drunken jesus , excellent beat dude. panning is perfect. synchronization perfect. bass is perfect. HE LIVES!!!

yeah this was pretty dope
nice lyrics
the hook i didnt really feel but it was good
keep'em comin
