I played connect the dots with your beauty marks and I ended up with picture perfect sheet music
I read your musical notes with a composer's eyes and heard our song for the first time-
My spine is still tingling
mental images of your fine tune is what I've been nodding my head to lately
and every now and then you can catch me humming your nudity under my heavy breath
I heavily suggest you resurrect your ancient neglected dust collector
If you distrust the dissonance in my seldom plucked heart strings
Sit stripped before your full length
Perform your reflection
backwards
Maybe then you will understand the rhythm in my movement
Listen when the news is sent
Extend when the rules are bent
I'll be waiting to take your leave
Make me a victim of your two step
Make me an apprentice of your body parts
Teach me to dance to your beauty marks
I'm stepping on toes here and I don't care
It's hopeless, it's hopeless
It's hopelessness holding this openess to blow a kiss
So close your lips but don't get pissed
and throw a fist at this vocalist
I'm not emotionless, in fact I broke my wrist
when I wrote the list of all those I miss
THIS IS MY POKER FACE
Mister Feel Nothing

are there any sage fans here that went to the show last night?

goddamn that was a great gig

he looks like a fuckwit.
i didnt think his lyrics were much chops either.

who exactly is he? ive heard his name around a bit.

 

[artfag]

he's a rapper/slam poet

those lyrics are from a spoken word piece "hopeless", and spoken word sucks when it's written down

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

i dont know, tom waits has a few pretty awesome spoken word peices that look good written down.
but its by the by really.

I dig him as you already know, but goddamn sometimes that whiny voice gets to me.
I didnt go to his show last night partly because noone else I know likes him and plus I forgot.
Has the DJ Signify show been already cos I wouldn't be surprised if he popped up?

 

[Raiks]

I saw the show and although he is decent, Tom Waits shits all over him. I love Mr Waits.

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

tom waits is the toughest whiteman in the music industry.

What's with all the fucking comparing to Waits? Sage is hip hop, he represents a hip hop ethos, he is also a dope battle MC, he's not trying to compete with Tom Waits.

What the fuck? Wow, he's more hip hop related than Waits is.... so what? I said nothing about him competing with Waits, I was just saying for lyrical and performance execution, Waits is much better than Sage.

It's like comparing a full modded Lancer to a Ferrari. No one denies that the Lancer is a great car for its purpose and who it appeals to, but it ain't no Ferrari.

 

[Soma]

What do u mean more hip hop related? Sage is hip hop, that is all. I think he even won scribble jam recently. Whats the point of comparing two unrelated styles. Sage has the flow of an MC, him and Waits have totally different styles.

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

i dont really get the comparison either.
i only brought tom waits up as an example of spoken word that looks good written down.

Same here, the lyrical side of things is the point I was getting at... I think the point I forgot to fully explore was that hip hop has a lot more trouble looking good when written down. I was talking about the spoken word, the hip hop is entirely Sage's stage.
