Participation Prerequisite - DJ Format, Abdominal

Well hey, how you doin, kick back put your feet up

My name is abdominal, watch me rip this beat up

Pull a seat up, you don’t wanna miss this

Cuz i can rock a rhyme from halloween to hanukkah

Slumming a typical numbskull outta his complacency

Mainstream or underground, it’s all the fuckin same to me

Plain to see you’re blatantly whack

Not tryna be rude, i’m just statin a fact

That i be hatin the raps, that be laid onto wax these days

So i’m takin it back, but not back to long gone old school period

Back to a place where you need skills period

As a participation prerequisite

Things like flow breath control intellect and wit

Self evident for any mc worth his sodium

Til you get it, stay off the microphone you crumb

It’s just a par par par par

Tissa tissa tissa tissa

Pation pation pation pation

Prerequisite

This is a par par par par

Tissa tissa tissa tissa

Pation pation pation pation

Prerequisite

We stick to a basic approach, raps over loops

But some people try to get cute and say that’s been done before

It’s not innovative, well then riddle me this

To be considered creative, by that logic i’m forced to invent

A new form of music which i must present

But i already gotta a type of music that i like

It’s called rockin mics

And before i leave in pursuit of alternate career paths

I’d like to master this craft

I bring innovation through my level of skill

Still sceptical, well i expect that you’ll

Redirect your perspective and chill

Why don’t you chew on this, cuz it’s been done i shouldn’t be doin this

That’s like sayin coltrane was at fault bro

Cuz charlie parker already played the alto

And since shakespeare wrote plays

I guess beckett shouldn’t of had his say

And cuz gandhi took a non violent approach

Luther king junior should be reproached

For adopting the same ideology, obviously no

And the fact my philosophy is ???

To direct your progression, and that’s a statement, not a question

It’s just a par par par par

This is a par par par par

Prerequisite

Now i’m not tryna come across as cynical and jaded

But one thing unique about hip hop that sometimes i hate

Is the fact that sixty per cent of the cats that come to shows be like

Bro, we make rap tracks

And dig into their knapsacks and pull out a fat stack of raps

That they proceed to spit

Not spit meaning rhyme, but spit meaning spit

Literally all over my face

It’s cool that your eager but dude give me some space

I’m just off the stage ???

from rocking the place

I’m tired i’m sweaty, please give me some space

Not to mention that i’m havin trouble hearin what you’re sayin

Right behind you yeah, that’s a dj playin

And there’s already raps on those beats see

Which means makin out yours is not easy

Better to give me a cd with your tightest three tracks

I’ll listen, and write you with my feedback

Not to say that i’m against a friendly post show hello

Put it this way, say you played the cello

I’d assume it’s safe to say you wouldn’t bring that thing to a show in it’s case

And as soon as the symphony finished

Track down yo yo ma and play a little ???

Or suppose you took your girl to the ballet

Afterwards you slip on tights and bust a jete

Not to say that i’m a snob is not curious about new mcs

Just i take this shit seriously

Build some skills and approach with some etiquette

In other words follow those participation prerequisites

It’s just a par par par par
