YACHTBEETS

Sensitive poet that I am, my walls of sensitivity were thoroughly shaken when my sensitive beats killed the near-epic rhyme battle that came ever so close to popping off on my back porch one night a few weeks ago. My neighbor’s inability to locate his CD of instrumental beats prompted me to offer my own meager set of beats, which I’d been quietly compiling on my computer, to accompany the battle. I had some really hard bangers that I couldn’t seem to locate, so unfortunately the ones I could find were admittedly a bit on the artsy side and thus succeeded in swiftly dismantling the potential rhyme-battle before it even started to heat up, and even prompted one onlooker to remark that the beats I presented might be good “to have a nice sensitive poem spoken over.” As a devout fan of (in my meager opinion) the hardest kinds of rap in existence, I was saddened by my beats’ lack of ability to pop off anything substantial. I couldn’t do anything about it that night except go inside and cry. So since then, I’ve been on a hard-banger-creation spree in case I’m ever in the position to provide beats for an impromptu rhyme battle, which now I will happily yes gladly provide at first mention of such a battle. These will be incorporated with other Yacht Clubbers into a Yacht Clubbers mixtape in the near future:
