"KILL THE PAD" CHALLENGE WEEK #8 - SPONSORED BY SMA ( This is a DSound Community Initiative )
What is Kill The Pad Challenge?
Kill The Pad challenge is a weekly topical text based rap competition for SBD. Why am I starting a text based rap initiative? We have many creative writers in the hip hop community. One doesn't have to get onto the mic to show their prowess with lyricism. This will benefit the less experienced and the more experienced alike. Topicals are always a good exercise. It's all about elevating together, learning from each other, and growing as an artist.
SMA
This challenge is sponsored by the SMA. If you are a musician, singer, song writer, rapper, or musically inclined in any way, head over there and connect with other musicians! An invite button is at the bottom of the post.

This weeks topic is: Apathy
So, @ulqu3 suggested demigod as a topic, and I immediately thought of the rap group Demigodz, and that made me think of the originator of the Demigodz, Apathy. So in a round about way, @ulqu3 picked this topic!
I think it's a very interesting topic because I believe everyone has dealt with this type of feeling, or lack of feeling before, and could make for some great lyrics.
1st place winner = 3 SBD + 20 Points in Steem Music League
2nd place winner = 2 SBD + 15 Points in Steem Music League
3rd place winner = 1 SBD + 10 Points in Steem Music League
Remember, this is a rap competition. While most rap can be considered poetry, most poetry wouldn't be considered rap. If you are a poet, don't worry, do what you do. I will try to leave critiques for every entry and let you know what could be improved upon, if anything.
DO NOT POST LYRICS ON THIS PAGE. Please put them in your own post and the just post the link here. Thanks!!

All yours buddy https://steemit.com/killthepad/@article61/article61-s-entry-for-the-kill-the-pad-challenge-week-8-sponsored-by-sma-this-is-a-dsound-community-initiative
Gonna try find time to mash up a rap, bro. Good subject again :)
Btw, I made up a track on vocal(1st attempt) after seveaux gave me a track to use. The track is banging but I had to stitch it together using Filmora film editor so all the sound level are shit. Would like some critique on my flow/voice though, if you get time, bro. The track is on dsound and YouTube as I ended up putting a visual to the music. I though I sounded too American(I am UK) but my friend told me last night that it didn't, so I am now very curious and maybe willing to do more, if there is any potential.
Yea dude, will definitely check it out brother.
