I learnt writing that way when I was locked up. And was amazed I really remembered the whole 16. Had to go to sleep first though so my brain could retain it

[@bangmateo7481]

Were you in a USP?

[@HolyGhostMusic44]

@bangmateo7481 oh yea, kinda. It was up state but I'm from Michigan so it's up but not upper peninsula so to us it's technically not up state

[@meladgoat]

im guessing you didn't write to a beat. but eventually when you recorded the lyrics to a beat. was it off beat or anything? how did you make it fit when it started off in your head?

Stares at the sky to read lyrics da fudge.

What’s demonic about having a creative process? You people love to act like you’re so much more moral and righteous than those that are successful.

First song I heard with Beans was the feat with The Roots, "front row seats watchin Iverson" verse was one of the hardest hip hop verses out and had the world checkin for him. When he signed to Rocafella his verses took a more rap path then hip hop. This gives clarity to that. Thanks for sharing. One love
