From the Savage Intellect album, "The Genesis of Genius", an unreleased project from 2001.

(scratch hook: “I”m going to show you all what rap really means”)

I gotta be honest, I’m getting frustrated with MCs who come out and promise
to always lyrically astonish
Then based on their LP having lower sales than expected
They compromise their skill level their next record
I know that most can’t understand this
but the way that I stay focused, I remain a fan of this
And on the low, developed more flow than Prince Namor
to slay more men than Attuma in Atlantis
And, I know the chances of acquiring all the finances 
to fulfill ALL my dreams OFTEN seems to be just that (a dream)
So, I adjust that by balancing writing rhymes while working full time
And in my spare (time) further design the blueprints to a business whose existence is congruent
with supporting those pursuing what I spent the last 21 years of my life doing
And, that’s being AMC, a DJ, producer, and a B-boy, then act as an outsider
look out for the human beat box and the graf writer
My main point, MCIng is an artform
that is important where you start from
You gotta be a fan first, fantasize on writing your first verse
And when that thought’s finally born, perform it for your friends
If they recommend you pursue that, then do that
Accumulate confidence and start bombing s**t in public places
Until you’re leaving ciphers and stages getting compliments and staring at startled faces
My next suggestion is your true test for your new quest of artistic expression
Best achieved by stepping those best believed to be the nicest in your section 
for verbal slugfest because putting heads to rest builds a street buzz best
Then MCs and producers will be eager to work wit cha
That’s when studio time finally comes into the mixture
BUT, don’t switch your style to get richer
 Just... broaden your conceptual picture
And convince the crowd to get wit cha
Cause the industry’s designed to make you think the way they think
Desert you when you sink and leave you on the brink…
Of psychological breakdowns, so...I’ve...found
That it’s best to trust my instincts
And, place my faith in under connections
Cause I’ve seen proof of their roots at spots such as Lower Links
(What up Duro)
And, I’ve been rocking live since the biggest rap shows...hmmmm...were done at roller rinks
So, I give nada...about what the masses think((((((((((
(vocal sample: “the old school taught me how to be a def mc”)

Dirty Old Man (feat. RA The Rugged Man)

1986 Philly sounds from the same producer who gave us the inimitable Night of Power LP. 
A Smooth banger that effortlessly blends a freestyle-electro-soul feel with loads of jazz influence.

S/M - I'm Here For You

What does a brother have to do
to reap respect already due,
to stop the spiteful spew,
to not be turned into glue?

Jacob Blake is looking at the lake,
feeling the seven-year ache, hoping the treatments take,
chained and inanimate, reputation at stake
When he fell it made the earth quake – grateful to be awake

How many cheeks must a mother turn
before the right to live she can earn
from lemmings loath to learn
How many bodies must burn?

Breonna Taylor was a healer, but the jailer
just had to hail her, just had to invade her
Every, every day here to the cross we nail her
The great experiment is a failure

How innocent do we have to be
for one stoneslinger to see
hydrogen humanity
in the American cemetery?

Eric Blowtorch-Too Many Dues (c&w)
