The Maestro

[00:03.29] Strange Music fans, some of you might hate me for this. Some of you might love me for this. Most of you Aren't gonna know what to think. I just got a story an ima tell it. Who am I you ask? ask yourself this...
[00:20.28] Who's the man with the master plan
[00:25.42] With talent that the world never knew could have so vast a span
[00:28.72] Who raps, writes, records, engineers, makes his own beats
[00:32.58] And sings his fucking ass off, ask my fans
[00:33.98] They'll all tell ya who
[00:34.90] (The J to the O)
[00:37.20] Yeah the record company executives would never give his ass a chance
[00:39.76] Ill give you a classic example of the way that it goes
[00:42.63] Let me tell you bout my interaction with Strange and them folks
[00:44.76] I sat with Tech on his tour bus, the two of us
[00:47.82] Through "Welcome To The Show" on and half way through the of "Jokerr's pain"
[00:51.95] Cory the annoying tour manager with his superiority complex intruded just to kick me off
[00:57.65] Without a second thought, even though his fucking boss was the one who invited me on to it
[01:02.48] Tech didn't say shit
[01:03.77] But Strange's vice president, Dave did
[01:06.46] "You need to build more"
[01:07.17] Hey bitch, fuck what you think!
[01:09.06] This is my show, it's the maestro I worked a twelve hour shift, got off and flew to Phoenix
[01:35.52] And drove another nine hours to Santa Barbara to meet up with tech
[01:36.91] And day one is behest
[01:37.75] I'm here trying to impress
[01:39.04] Some pussy tour manager enters in flexing his penis
[01:41.68] How the fuck would you feel if you put your last dollar bill
[01:44.25] In the gas tank of your truck and hauled ass for hours
[01:47.59] Willing to bet
[01:48.12] If you were chilling with Tech
[01:49.18] He'd feel the skill and respect
[01:50.23] But instead ya kicked out, left, pipe dreaming
[01:53.68] You see the difference between me and these other mother fuckers
[01:54.85] Is I ain't afraid of Strange and ill declare it publicly
[01:58.33] Their kingpin can't fuck with me
[02:00.47] And my success isn't contingent on his, Travis's or Dave's puppetry
[02:03.97] It ain't nothing against the man
[02:05.95] Tech's legacy stands
[02:06.96] I'll show respect to this dude and un-begrudgingly
[02:10.66] But don't fucking tell me I ain't a valid contender
[02:12.35] Iv'e been raw since crypto-zoologists first discovered me
[02:15.16] You see rappers all want tech's spot well guess what
[02:20.42] Jokerr ain't a rapper bitch, plug me in the next slot
[02:21.29] I'm bigger than the label with one actual artist
[02:23.23] Surrounded by tax write-offs and talent-less redundancy
[02:25.25] You got your fans tricked but I ain't buying that shit
[02:28.54] Like all the garbage ass B-list albums you keep publishing
[02:31.68] You had the opportunity to pick up this up and comer
[02:35.43] I tried to approach you all humbly but now fuck what you think!
[03:00.62] I know Tech, man. Man I know your gonna hear this, bro. I just wanna let u know I think I figured out what it takes to make it on Strange Music. Be the #1 independent rapper on the planet, ya know? Like, I've been studying you, man. Because, ya know, I wanna be the best and like everybody says you're the best. So I'mma just take this last verse and, ya know, share with the listeners about how Tech N9ne be ripping. NOW
[03:19.54] Allow me to break shit down
[03:21.10] Let's rhyme
[03:22.78] Tech N9ne
[03:23.27] Blind shredder (CHA)
[03:25.12] Predictable patterning
[03:26.03] With a flattering end cap as a tie jetter (CHA)
[03:27.92] Then a couple in a minute bars
[03:29.01] For a double A, B, A stanza
[03:30.49] That commands in advanced of the bonanza
[03:31.31] Then it all ends up in the same rhyme letter (CHA)
[03:33.13] But he won't stop there
[03:34.27] He'll take it to the A bar
[03:35.05] Make a nigga way hard
[03:36.22] Then he goes (CHA) in between (CHA) everything (CHA) that he says (CHA) what a great time setter (CHA)
[03:38.92] He might even switch it from 32nd's and divide it to triplets and introduce harmony for the philogyny cause the ladies love his singing like fine leather (CHA)
[03:44.18] Then we speed it up faster but it doesn't really gotta make sense (CHA)
[03:46.59] Cause the fans can't even understand what he says anyways knew better if they did they'd laugh when a nigga say shit like
[03:50.50] "Dark and wicked, (CHA) Autistic kid, (CHA) picking up frogs and crickets" Then he goes back to the line header. (CHA)
[03:55.83] It's called completion, it's all cohesive, it's basic music theory bitch and it ain't that hard to teach it
[03:59.96] Listen I ain't got nothing but love for the nigga but he's not the governor of the shit
[04:03.16] And I'd love to admit it but I really can't in good conscience cause the fact of the matter is I'm better (CHA)
[04:06.19] And if you got a problem with it you can kiss each cheek to the beat while you're nodding with it here we Look at the jester Dissin' on Tech like Can he do that?
[04:13.62] Yeah, and I don't need y'all's permission
[04:18.68] Listen, to all you up and coming rappers, I know it's tough, but if you know you're dope then you go after what you And don't let them tell you to Travis and Davis are So what we gonna say to them? (uhhh) FUCK WHAT YOU THINK!
