Cool. So anyway, before Carparkology..and before Strange Water...but after KjD came The LP "The Hiphopalypse" And the unfinished album "The 19 Years War". These were all made during my 'Structured Hiphop' phase. Most of the songs from my main profile have been moved here, and some other songs ,not previously uploaded, are to follow soon.

Story behind the song
Its the title, and opening song to my 3rd LP, so it's a kind of warning of how things need to change within Hiphop. (hence the likeness to 'The apocalypse') Motivation was easy, just take a look at all the bad, wannabe gangsta kids making 'rap' music
Lyrics
{Verse 1} Sometimes I Snipe, at night on spies Don't strike till I see, the whites of their eyes Perhaps its right, that they don't realise Where I'm coming from so the attack's a surprise From the shadows I creep "He's here's the words on the street" Fade to repeat till we meet stand on the edge of defeat I stalk with silence the crowd hushes when I step on the scene I'm like Tenchu stealth assassin I move without a trace You're like Kung Fus One hand clapped, you're losing in the race I'm king of the cruiserweights, you could run or choose to wait Whilst I contemplate, different ways to make you bruise and ache For all the vital ballers, and underground title holders We more heavy in flesh than King Kong is in boulders All wax work models are bound to get melted When I entered the room, you're bound to have felt it I don't want this hiphop joint, to get ahead of me Cuz I'm sooo much more than a wannabe celebrity Want more from life than money and space in the paper I wanna settle down and have my own great live caper First lesson I was taught was fools walk with fools Wise men walk with the wise, and I've found this to be the truth So come here, sit down and listen for a second Cuz now its time for me to teach a lesson . . . Yeah, Me to teach a lesson {Chorus} K the whole world knows my flow J We aint ever gonna blow . . because D we putting it down like this We be the three horsemen of the hiphopalypse {Verse 2} You don't wanna mess with this fresh sensation Cuz where the lyrics be taking you, is your final destination I break truthful lines once, and never in bad sense These words are obeyed like the ten commandments I make people sit and listen when I'm filling the air waves The bass from the beat drops just like an air raid The kick is the siren to warn you what's coming The calm before the storm before we break into something - 8 - Turn back the clock, and browse time like a catalogue I'm Gonna pause the world now, Like Bernard with his magic watch It's analogue, and it's time to turn the channel off Time to Break rules, wether you're allowed or not ~The plot thickens~ Great expectations By Charles Dickens Rests On my shoulders, because I do it different Everything in place is clicking And this style's sticking The beat could Quicken, But Still I'll keep ripping A chip off the old block, is definetly what I'm not I'm thankful for what I got, But I just can't believe in god Bibles a fable like Aesop, There's just science and nature We're different people, But I wont discriminate ya - 20 - I just wish you'd stop preaching, keep a hold of your lips Subject change, How many people make music to get rich There's a lot of MCs' that seem to hide the fact that theyre brits But then they never planned on feeling the Hiphopalypse
