Old School, New School Hip Hop Same...

TP brought Hip Hop to this Newmarket venue.

TPE covers TO Hip Hop club show in 2015

Recently I had what I can only describe as a new age discussion on social media wherein you're trying to make a point but not dis someone specifically because that'd be disrespectful in this day and age on his forum or page. Plus my mom taught me some manners. Lol.

Its even more fun when the subject seems to know about what you're referring to but doesn't acknowledge so in so many words and thus war of wit ensues. Who can walk that fine line better? Who has the communication cahoonas to save face but address a post that may or may not be referring to a specific incident only the two know about. Your ( his) buddies can spot it immediately..sense the slight sarcasm or hint of it in replies... and take it as a signal to test out the come to the aid waters. Ha.

But there it shall end with me, because I only wanted to make my point known to that person, who was mentioning how he was unfairly treated, and it was now affecting his business. As I understand. Maybe even sympathize. And that was my whole point, as a venue I'd referred him to had been dropped with no notice.

And my point was shit happens but communication when it happens is crucial...We're all in this together and without venues, no one wins...But Yea, shit happens.. So in response I wrote this Rap. My first stab at Hip hop lyrics. Take that yo! Lol. Peace out.

Schools of Thought

Old School, Mainly for fools,
A type code designed to tarnish jewels,
We'd walk the streets, back "in the day",
Lived experience they only rap today,

Experiences they never had,
"Why when I was a kid!,"Yo got to look bad,
Hey ain't no reason, to stop trying,
Get on your mic,
Stop your on-lining whining,

(Chorus ends)

Old School had conviction, Yo but new school has it too!
Adrenalin rushed addictions, And a voice of attitudes,
And when we work together, when we see things true,
Old Schools find New Schools that share that feeling too

Old School, New School,
It don't matter to me,
'cause anyway you slice it it's still just poetry,

(Repeat Chorus)

Old School, mainly for fools,
But every now and then you find a polished jewel,
We'd walk the streets, back in the day,
Lived experience New Schools face today...
