Fragile had a good Tech verse (for Tech, at least). He managed to stay on topic the entire verse (good job, we should probably give him a cookie or something) but the verse as a whole is just mediocre.
Some of the people appointed to give an opinion
Never do get it
Get it? Get what? Classic example of Tech cutting his fucking sentences to make his verse flow better.
I want you to come on and gobble a jimmy and... die
N9na be givin the remedy and why?
The remedy? TO WHAT? Now his sentences have stopped making sense completely. Why WHAT?
Critics are really the enemy and I
Can't stand the way they slam today's gifted
Bit awkward with the phrasing in the first line but at least I understand what the fuck he's trying to say.
get fanned away with grands to pay
The fuck does this mean?
This jam will lay scripted
Deaf and impeccable
Okay, I'm guessing that by "jam" he means "song" and "will lay scripted" means that it'll stay on the pad, meaning the artist. But the next line doesn't make any fucking sense. WHAT is "deaf and impeccable"? The song? Is this personification? If so it doesn't make any fucking sense. How can a song be deaf?
Write a rhyme and I put everything in a flow
I'm the N9ne I'mma look very mean
When a foe scribe a line but he has never been at a show
So we're switching topics from other underground artists to just Tech. Bit abrupt, but I'm cool with it. These lines flow very well and, thank god, actually make sense.
By the times it'll be better, leave it in the sto
This sentence doesn't even make any fucking sense. By "sto" I'm guessing he means store. So leave it in the store. Maybe leave the CD in the store? But what does "by the times it'll be better" mean?
Cause they wrote nothin' but lies, quotes stuck in my eyes
Amateur writer dissin'
Alright, back on track, Tech is pissed about the critics saying bad things about him and how they're amateur writers. Not bad lines.
Note, however, that so far, even the lines that make perfect sense aren't good in any sense of the word. They're just Tech saying "fuck you" to critics. Not exactly genius.
He's a beginner and hopes for your demise, folks I'mma despise
Never do try to listen
More awkward phrasing, but Tech's talking about how the critic is (surprise surprise) an amateur writer who hasn't listened to his music enough to understand it. Well, maybe you should stop sacrificing everything for random rhyming and flow, Tech. Then people would understand what the fuck you're saying.
It's real - I'm mad
Clueless when you scribble on your pad
See, this is what I want from Tech. No intense rhyming here, but you can actually feel emotion and passion here. Could do without the fucking "rrrr" sound he loves so much though.
How you gonna criticize now with a chisel on your nads sizzling your ad
Not sure if he was trying to say "ad" or "ass". Either way, I'm guessing that Tech is talking about taking a chisel to their gonads. What? Where did he get the chisel from? He's talking about the chisel already being on the writer's "nads", but he makes no mention of this "chisel" any time before this line. Maybe he's talking about this verse being a metaphorical chisel? I don't even fucking know anymore.
You don't really get why I'm so pissed? Understand this:
I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit
And so Tech ends his mediocre verse with some actual good lines.
