Ok, as my upcoming one year anniversary as a CT member, and also my one year anniversary in the coin collecting hobby I have decided to hold a contest. Now, I have decided to switch gears and not ask a billion questions about history for a winner:goofer:. I instead will hold a lyrics contest: The lyrics you will write has to be at least 100 words (There is no max), and a rap or rock style format (Keep it clean). It must also be in a song format of three verses and even with a chorus if you feel to do so. Use your own style of poetry for this contest. Talk about anyting you want..make it random Please do not try to steal lyrics from a professional performer, as I will guarantee I have already heard it (I listen to music non-stop, it's a lifestyle) DO NOT PM ME. Please post your thing here. You get only one post, and NO editing..once your done, your done. Judging: I will pick the three best by my opinion. from there, I will have three fellow members along with myself (4 total) look at them by PM...They will PM me with there vote on what the best one was. That will determine the winner. NOTE: I still need judges..lol..as I am thinking this through as I am writing this:goofer:...Please note..judges will not be able to participate. PRIZE: I have no clue....it will be good..I promise that. contest ends: January 18th ready.... set.... go.... stainless
Count me in as a judge . I grew up during the rise of hip hop & ganster rap & heard it all. Suburban OG :kewl:
LMAO, I heard about those ruffians in Toledo, us Detroiters knew about those bad boys, the Toledo rep bleeds into Wayne County, yanno wha I'm sayin? . Didn't quite realize you were OG Budgood, now the " nic/streetname " makes more sense. Check it homies, BG is solid. Word.
Hey stainless, fair warning, my song is going to be a love song-rap of course. (I think, haha. I'm working on it and have made some progress already, but anything and everything could change at the drop of a hat. We'll see. ) Peace out homie. Phoenix
All right Im having a fun night so I threw this together for ya'll. Ill see the error of my ways tomorrow morning. Done in a medium paced Ludacris rap. Now let me take back on a walk thru memory lane. Checking out some of America’s first chaaaange. The Flowing head Dolla was the head of her class. A strong patriotic design to remind folks of kickin Britain’s …. The Next Dollas were nicked named Busties for the size of her…, Heraldic on the back Im hoping for heads when she flips. Onto the Seated Dolla Liberty sittin on a rock .Not the best dressed but hey I can’t knock…. Its onto the Trade dolla that circulated the worrrrld, arm stretched out … damn look at that muscle IS that a girl? She was used & abused & chop marked upon … now one of the most counterfeited , I gotta move on. The “collectors” coin that so many enjoy – George T. Morgan’s Dolla is choiiice. With the most famous of Liberties & an Eagle spread wide .Too much to say about this & well in my opinion boring design. OOOOOOOOOO The end of WWI brought the Peace & so came on the Dolla modeled after Mary Teresa, She was high what a relief. Another great desing I aint got no beef. The US took a break from this point on our Dollas wouldn’t make a bit of differance to American commerce , a coin made for a collector ahhh what could be worse . Ikes , Susan B’s Sac’s & the Presidents another 9 or so years & you’ll see the evidence. Nice coins but no one cares … Lets go back to the Flowing hairs.
rock or rap only? What about blues Clever rap budgood, that will be hard to beat. another note: it is kinda hard to determine the breaks and pauses in the song and to determine the melody. We should do a video of us singing (or rapping) our song, and put it on youtube. Then put the link on this thread. That would be tight home skillets. MG out.
Update: there are five judges for the last three nominees: Me, Snaz, Jaceravone, Budgood, GDJMSP. stainless
Greetings-cool contest.... well Spock, Vulcan language won't win today- here's my creative piece. Smaugy read it and giggled and said whatever Dear- What a good way to spend inside during a snow storm! Hope you all enjoy it... Legomummy Dad always wanted me to save, but I didn’t know the way. He would give me a small box with halves and metal coins, Some would stay, others traveled to Star Trek books to pay. He gave me a taped box that was quite heavy in coins one day. No one knew my coins travel to a little can each night How much no one knows but it will be alright.... Legomummy married Smaugy as you all know, He brought to my house his little stash as he joined my clan. Our child did a merit badge so we went to a show The bug was stinging wildly and free that week it all began. No one knew my coins travel to a little can each night How much no one knows but it will be alright.... The in laws had boxes and shared some coins from the Pops Four different boxes to combine but Smaugy didn’t see Those little cans that I had stashed keep popping up on desk tops We now have a slab or two and a cache in a box to see ‘cause NO one knew my coins travel to a little can each night How much no one knows but it IS alright....
Budgood: That was great! I got the beat. LOL! :mouth: This is a neat contest. I'll listen to the Ipod for a while and think about something that might work. Maybe in, maybe not.
