I hate it so much when rappers brag about taking 5 minutes to write their lyrics, especially when the end result is the worst song ever. Who do they think they are impressing? I don’t want to point anyone out, because a lot of rappers are guilty of writing down the first thing that comes to mind and having the nerve to record it, but Juelz Santana needs to be called out. I heard little Juelz say he took 2 minutes to write his verse for one of these mixtape songs. I can believe it because  no one would believe you took an hour to write most of the garbage you spit. And you do an incredible diservice to yourself as an artist and to the fans and hip hop as a whole by releasing this sub-par material.

• It doesn’t impress anyone that you took 30 seconds to write your verse, other than maybe the fourteen year olds dreaming of becoming rappers. It’s not cool to chicken scratch a rap in five minutes if the end result is trash.
• I understand, not everyone can record good songs on the fly like a Jay-Z or a Tupac. But not everyone can be rappers and neither should you. You see how that works? I remember when a diss used to be “oh he can’t rap”, today everyone can rap, but not rap good. If your not a great rapper, like the aforementioned, take the time to write good well thought out verses with good well thought out catchy flows. 
• Don’t just write the first thing that comes to your peanut head mind.You might get a one hit wonder hit song like soulja boy or hurricane chris, but 3 years from now I guarantee they will be flipping burgers somewhere because the hit song was trash and nobody who is a real hiphop head respects trash tracks even if they did make the top 10. With that said The probability of you writing a great verse on your first try is so low that its pretty much pointless to even record that sh*t. If your a rapper reading this, take a moment to think of how different the rap game would be if rappers took a day, a month, a year to write a verse? It took Michelangelo four years to paint the Sistine Chapel and he didn’t even really finish it until 30 years later. He is consider one of the greats because of his unwaivering commitment to quality, don’t you want to be great? Don’t you want to be the best? Then dont record garbage tracks because the beat cant hide your piece of sh*t flow. Keeping it real as always hiphopspy.
