Midnight EyeZ - The Grand Illusion feat. Avangarde

[Midnight EyeZ]

LOF

Don't think I ever posted this here...Possibly done during the period I was locked out and couldn't find my keys lol...

A 24 verse I dropped for Romanian Hip-Hop outfit Avangarde...I come in at around 4:20 for those of you who can't/don't want to listen to and/or can't understand Romanian Rap...

It's a sexy ass beat though!!!...Produced by Eyekon...



Lyrics

Turn on your TV set; your attention takes a redirect,
You see a med you need to get to squeeze into that evening dress,
Being stressed, about your look and weight, and even when you’re looking great
You look a state, or at least that’s what you see reflect,
These greedy heads, publish skinny girls in magazines,
So as a teen you grow up thinking that is how you have to be,
It saddens me; you draw your money from the cash machine,
Then starve yourself to death becoming the next fashion queen,
And while you’re kicking back at night, sitting watching channel five,
They advertise a pack of lies, telling you shit,
Selling you shit that you don’t have to buy, they glamourize,
Little kids fantasize thinking that is where their talent lies,
Narrow minds, they’re just feeding you hope,
But only care about their companies and keeping afloat,
Fiending for notes, selling things you think that you need but you don’t,
So leave it alone or be left to reap what you sow,
It’s easy to scope a weak mind with products that,
Cost a lot of cash, but only leave you with your wallet flat,
It’s a god rotten trap; you’re lead in easily,
Without a shred of decency, go get your fucking honour back,
These corporate cats with corny ads that cause a mass delusion,
Their pocket’s fat from talking crap but not a fact is proven,
TV and Radios only add confusion,
And I ain’t preaching I’m just seeing through The Grand Illusion,

That was great! The lyrics are simple but still sound great flow-wise which is pretty rare, nice delivery throughout as well. Only thing I might've changed was that "Telling you shit, selling you shit" line but even as-is it isn't bad at all.

[Midnight EyeZ]

Thanks man, appreciate it...

I can see why you'd say that...I hate that kinda shit aswell, people rhyme the same word, but I dunno, I think I'm a good judge and know where/when to use them and still pull it off lol...

I totally get what you mean though!!!...

[Francesco]

I liked it too! Definitely deserves props.

[Midnight EyeZ]

Thanks man, appreciate it a lot!!!...

Awesome verse man. Lyrically great. I didn't understand shit from the other dude, so i'll just refer to your part. That was dope, you're accent hinder your pronunciation a little bit but it also gives you a bit of a uniqueness. So if you can keep it while working on the enunciating, that'd be nice to hear.

[Snakebeast]

I feel like the last line could've been more punchline-ey, but the rest of the verse was fucking fire. The rhyming didn't feel forced, your delivery was awesome, and your flow was fantastic. Great verse :3

[Eedee]

Oh what the hell, i thought I fed this already.

Anyway, this song felt like it dragged on way too long. At least that's what it felt getting to your verse.

You had nice flow and delivery, man. Props there.

The beat was pretty solid as well. No complaints there!

[Sam.]

Nice. I've always liked your work and you managed to keep it hot all the time. This is some good stuff.

I wanted to ask you, if I may: What happened to your Album? Am I missing something?

Yeah I ain't got a clue what they're on about either!!! lol...But pretty much the same kinda thing I'm ranting on about lol...Thanks dude, appreciate the feedback...Yeah I kinda get what you mean, I always have that doubt in my mind whether people can understand me as well as they're meant to...

I feel like the last line could've been more punchline-ey, but the rest of the verse was fucking fire. The rhyming didn't feel forced, your delivery was awesome, and your flow was fantastic. Great verse :3

Thanks a lot, I get what you mean, but I've never really been a punchline kinda writer...Never have been and probs never will be...I don't sit and think of ways to make lines hit harder, if I think it's dope and rhymes well, it's all I'm really concerned about lol...I don't really get into all the punchline/metaphor/simile style of things, I just write...I'm glad you liked it, that's what's important to me and makes my tracks worth doing...

Yeah it kinda did, at 24 bar verses there were no need for 4 verses...Three should've been enough in my personal opinion, but this was for their project and I decided to include it on mine to get the numbers up lol...But I had no say, I liked the beat, liked the message so I was down to jump on it...How they edit it is completely up to them...Personally I would've stuck with 3...I wouldn't have had the long outro either...

Glad you could give more positive than negative comments...Thanks man!!!...

Nice. I've always liked your work and you managed to keep it hot all the time. This is some good stuff.

I wanted to ask you, if I may: What happened to your Album? Am I missing something?

Wow, that album...It's still in the works, just a lot of things slowing me down with it...I've finally got myself a new job so I don't have as much time to get in the studio, and when I do I literally can't be bothered in all honesty...The hunger's not as strong as it was so their's not as much desire at the moment...It will come back and the album will get done, it's just a case of when...I was with Skirmz last night and we were talking about the track we're doing and that...He wants to get it recorded soon, so I gather that'll be the next track you'll hear from me...He wants to do a video for it aswell but I dunno about all that lol...

[Sam.]

Great to see that you still are passionate about your Album. Please do put it out before Eminem, lol. I really like your work, always have. Now that you mention it, I remembered about your collab with Skirmish. Damn, it's been a long time. Tell him I said "What's up?".

Sorry for the lousy one liner feed, I suck at giving feed to Audio. I try...

On some other note: What's up with Possessed? His Album?
