a poignant,political,social commentary rap mixed in with straight poetry that i feel represents Set-The-Marq at his best.

lyrical rap, political rap, Real MC quality
i am Set-The-Marq. i rap to express myself in the form of verbal poetry; rap. rap needs a change, hip hop is dead. hopefully in my raps i can try to bring it back, even if only for 3 minutes at a time.by bringing new style, titer rhymes with stronger meanings, i hope to give hip hop the freshness and attraction that it first had when it was born. Money,cars,bitches are all temporary possessions-these are the topics that kill rap. Life is a much more effective tool to bring people's ears to music, wheter this be by showing past experiences, current struggles, or hopes for the future. These themes will prevail over what you hear on the radio and the artists that cover these issues will be everlasting, not limited to 5 weeks in people's minds or iPods. this is my illosophy.(Illosophy is also the rap group i am in, you will be properly introuduced once our album is finished...)

Story behind the song
this song was originally started early 2004, and i finished it in april of 2005 for an assignment for my AP english class....i maintain the same "ooo" sound rhyme structure throughout, and i counted over 30 rhymes when i wrote it.many sets of rhymes laced between, and the message the song has sums up most of our society's issues.references Bush, mass media appeal, superficiality, etc. as well as some struggles ive been through.I performed it for my class, and i recorded it a capella so the lyrics aren't overpowered by a beat..
