      Lucy ford taught me about women and then life gives you lemons taught me I don’t know shit except for that being a good person is harder than relationship with a woman but worth trying. Only ARTIST can start with a nitch(overcast) but keep it maturing as we do as we get older! I love when he says when We started it!

    Kevin hit the nail on the head when he said, "You really started and cultivated a scene." I grew up despising rap. I used to say, "Rap is crap without the 'C'." One day in college I was on youtube and came across 'Trying To Find A Balance' and that started my love for rap. I was ignorant towards the fact that there were rappers that could speak to me on an intelligent level and that lead me down a path towards Blue Scholars, Brother Ali, Living Legends, Sage Francis and many more brilliant 'real' artists.

It is 2017 and ( why the F am I in Birmingham?) I wanted to thank Ant especially...wow, his beats! A true artist and like no other, and thank Slug for speaking with me those 🔟 long years in Oregon...and THANK YOU Seatle for radio stations like this one...it gives me hope, simply you give a gift as important as hope to souls like mine.

    This man is responsible for my deeper interest and new found talent in Hip Hop.
    I am 52... Age is never a factor. Let's break these stupid molds and recognize talent for what it is, no matter who it comes from... Black, Yellow, Brown, White... (Hell, if a purple alien came down and starting spittin' mad bars, I'd give credit where credit is do! 😂)
    Slug... Ant... Rhymesayers....
    You are the bomb.💣 Thank you. 🤟
    (Gettin' my bars together). 🎼🎤
    Rap Battle Me?!!
    Rat a tat tat.
    Rap battle that.
    Heads are gonna
    rattle to the sound
    of my gat.
    I'm the cat in the hat.
    My verses are phat.
    I don't need a dictionary,
    to battle a rap brat.
    I don't need a baseball
    bat... Virus,
    I'll watch Miley Sirus
    take all y'all down.
    Don't try to Richard Pryor us,
    You'll end up looking like a clown.
    Dont need you to admire us,
    Just respect my Hip Hop sound.
    I know you want to hire us,
    We're the greatest show in town.
    Compitition inspires us, hands
    up, money on the ground.
    No one gonna make...
    a liar of us, we keeping it real
    with the lyrics I spray.
    No one can ever retire us...
    The Savage Underground is
    here to stay.
    So whatcha got to say?
    Better speak up, or go away.
    I'm the big dog, you the pussy
    cat that just lost eight of your
    lives today.
    You got one chance left,
    You better bring it, I don't play.
    You up against a rising star,
    I see you all as prey.
    When I spit my lyric,
    No one comes near it.
    They steer around it.
    avoid it, they fear it.
    Hand me your list,
    as I beat em, I'll clear it.
    They try to mirror it,
    Make it inferior, it lives
    and it grows in me,
    everyone gonna hear it.
    You'll never endure it,
    you're winters not over yet.
    You came in so sure,
    with your arrogant bet.
    You smell like manure,
    Your underwear brown and wet,
    See, that's what you get,
    when you fukk with a vet.
    Ain't no one I've met that
    can do it quite like me.
    My name's Mike Savage,
    and I'm ravaging this industry.
    I'm here to School all these
    wanna be M.C.'s.
    Because you don't know how
    to rhyme and flow, without
    showing a limited vocabulary.
    Yeah, I'm getting older now,
    I need glasses to closely see.
    But that don't mean I need em
    to dot your eyes and cross your t.
    You better be an O.G. if ya
    wanna rap battle me.
    There's only a couple people I
    know, who's lyrics even come
    close you see.
    I don't need to mention names,
    or use your slang so repetitively.
    When I bust, in Savage I trust,
    I can't be labeled, I'm an anomaly.
    So call me what you want, flea...
    I'll swat all your B.S. down,
    with my precise ingenuity.
    Because I'm a lyrical prodigy.
    You're just a toddler see?
    Go throw a tantrum, it's time
    for your bedtime story.
    I'll put you to bed, I spit venom,
    not lead.
    No one ends up dead, but they got
    my claw marks in em permanently.
    Now it's time for me to go,
    I got a bottle of Hennessy.
    I got some down homies, that
    wanna get blown with me.
    Thanks for the show, I needed
    to practice my artistry.
    I didn't mean to scare you,
    you'll come out of it eventually.
