This is My Hit


"What happened to KRS-1's philosophy?

When did hip-hop become hypocrisy?

Consuming flock of sheep - that's society.

We need to change our media immediately.

They breathing shallow words, you gonna swallow what you heard?

Who's leading the leaders, who follows followers?

The world is a pitch for corporate advertising.

My thoughts ain't a bitch switching commercializing

Sky is falling, the earth is erupting

Don't believe everything you hear kid trust me

Analyze. Gotta question, ask it

Or be a market pitch for a specific demographic

Fourteen and a girl, you're the number one target in the world

Question even me gonna believe a catchy hook

Have I got substance?

I don't know take a look."

- Kyprios "This is My Hit" from the album "Say Something..."

Buy This, It's Nothing!


"The fact that nowadays people are so desperate to be seen with the latest ‘whatever’ that they’ll buy almost anything, which is exactly what that Fiona Jack woman proved when she got some billboard company in New Zealand to start advertising this totally non-existent product called, ‘Nothing.’

What? I never heard about this.

Ya, this Fiona Jack woman designed these billboards that said, ‘For the person who wants nothing,’ and tons of people ended up calling the billboard company and asking where they could buy Nothing.

That really happened.

Yep."
