Kapoof Instrumental

Back in the days some college radio shows would open up the phone lines for MCs to call in and rhyme over the air.  99% of the people that called in would get clowned on and cut off.  In 1994 I called up 89.1 WNYU w/ Mr Mayhem and managed to be part of the 1% of people that didnt get clowned on and hung up on and i actually wound up getting invited to be on the show live a few weeks later.

Here is that freestyle.  Sorry for the shitty sound quality.  Its from a dub of a dub of a dub on cassette.

In other similar news, the way I met the guys from Atoms Fam initially was on another radio show where callers would rhyme on the air (WBAU Adelphi M-Train w/ Drew Spence).  I called in one night, and the following week Molecule & Whichcraft called up and gave me props over the air.  The host got all our info and we linked up through him and Centa of da Web was born and I was grandfathered into the very new and rapidly growing crew known as Atoms Family

lyrics transcribed below:

This is the Cryptic One EBS from Strong Island
Yo throw a beat on

Poppin shit in the AM with Mayhem
Freestyle off the top of my dome
because im prone to use my telephone right now
Cause I hit you with the booms and bows
The bashes
When I smash kids
Ya bloody bastard
Get your bandages
Because Im slamming kids
Through the wall
Guaranteed you fucking fall
From the brawl
The lyricals are never criminal
Subliminal when I hit you with my messages
Im blending its
Not advised to step to me
Because Im fucking wise I use telepathy
And ESP to get with the
Never can you get with me cause Im the master
I blast ya, then I ask ya questions later
Youre a traitor
I hit you with my paper? No
I hit you with the free flow cause I know I got skills
Head for the hills
Or your blood spills
Out your eye sockets
When I drop it
Like I said… give me a topic
Ill drop it atomically
When I be dropping the verses
Blood spurting
You better go to fucking church and
Pray
That I wont come at you this day
With my slaying skills
Cause I know you better chill
I chill in the fucking vill
When I get ill
I spill your blood
Cause youre a dud
Look at the puddle on the ground from the sound of my voice
It was your choice to step to me?
What are you crazed?
I am amazed
When i fucking blaze MCs
Light them on fire
Yes now they perspire
They are sweating me
And now youre getting me
Angry
And upset
And I bet
I catch wreck
On 89 point what? point 1
How fun its the Cryptic One
Using my tongue
To slash kids
You dumb fool
I send you to school
Now youre drooling on your self
When I hit you
You fucking melt
From the heat that I use
When I complete and abuse
Kid you refuse
To ever step to my crew
When we fucking choose to do what we do best
Its EBS dont test
Or youre gonna get me vexed
And upset and pissed again
My friend
Its not pretend
The shit is real
Can you comprehend
When I steal
Your soul
You fold like a piece of paper
Cause youre a traitor
Im evil like that motherfucker Darth Vader

In memory of...

From my "The World According To..." EP

They're overzealous with what they tell us black 
Well fuck them and their aggressive crap 
See hip hop's been to hell and back 
Overrun by some bums and some underdevelopped rap 
Lets bring it back to when that running man was real 
And give a clap if you remember how Fonzie made Richard Cunningham feel 
Well fuck their happy days 
Fuck their appeal 
The protective outter shell has been ruptured and peeled 
The underlying gumptions revealed, when something is real 
You feel it in your skeletal frame, from your gums to your heels 
Envelops the brain, feel the hum of the steel 
The drum will leave you numb its sureal 
Come and get healed 
I promised myself not to rap about rap, but here we are 
Check where we at on some apps, we're near the stars 
Just another cat in this spat, reveal the claws 
Exposing all the facts and react, then clear the flaws 
I stay joyous but cautios 
Spend late nights alone in the office 
I hope you enjoy it, Flawless in Orbit 
Pay full attention you can afford it 
Cryptic One 
Atoms Fam 
Peace
