I just randomly woke up and this was playing. This is very good, teddy. Good work
I know this is off topic dude but are you ever going to post anything about download?
Yes, I am dying to hear about his experience!
fire
Thank you for sharing 💚
Thank you for listening 🙏
This gave me chills and made me tear up while still giving me the "stank face". I can relate to a lot of things you say, and other things you say i can only imagine and imagining it becomes easy when you paint such a vivid picture with your words. I'm so sorry for the things you had to go through Teddy. But it makes me so happy to see you using art as an outlet. Sometimes there is no better way to both feel the things you need to feel and to also get rid of the thoughts that get stuck in your head than art. Wish you the best and thank you for building this little community where people can be real and where we can appreciate art together!
"Until one day I snapped and smacked a kid in the head. After I attacked the guy I said sorry and couldn't rest. I was thinking all night about what I could do instead. I decided to write about all the anger in my head" I'm on my second listen and this gave me so much chills, made me tear up and go "Ooouf, that's insane" out loud both times. There were a lot of things you said that make me react like that, but the lyrics right here is what I'm talking about. Art can be the best outlet and without it, I personally would either be an empty husk or a very angry woman. Because of childhood trauma, I used to be (and sometimes still is) a very quiet and introverted person. But instead of shutting myself in or exploding in rage, I am able to process the anger, bitterness, sorrow as well as the good thought by using art as an outlet. And I'm guessing from all the comments I've read under Teddys videos that a lot of people in here can probably relate to this.
“Never had that as a kid” 😩 jokes on you, I already planned on crying today
I shouldn’t have laughed at this comment but it caught me off guard 😂
Put more into your voice teddy this is too repetitive but I’m here for it my man. I will always support someone trying to voice what they have been through
I hear that, I’m more of a writer than a performer so vocally emoting is difficult for some reason 😕
Teddy, dam this hit very close to home. Wonderfully written my dude ! Please don’t ever give up writing, even if it never a fully reaches a larger audience, I can feel the passion and love for the rap game with your reactions and writing man. I know Eminemslaimmarshall isnt your main source of inspiration but I can’t help but feel he is bringing it out of you and giving you the fuel for that fire of late. On a side note, being from the UK you’ve probably heard of the artist Faithless ??? My guy minus the club/dance beat this freestyle had me reminiscing to his song Insomnia not to take away your work but had me instantly jump on YT and pump a few of his tracks haha Keep it up Brev look forward to hearing more from you in the future
I can see where you’re coming from. RIP Maxi Jazz
Childhood trauma gang rise up 🙏 Jokes aside, it’s so cathartic to hear someone speak about their experiences and being able to relate to them as much as some of us do. It helps knowing we aren’t alone in all this. I appreciate you opening yourself up like this and look forward to any future projects of yours!
Good shit, dude....thanks for taking that leap and letting us in.....we appreciate and respect the vulnerability.... and speaking of being in my 40s reminiscing of younger days, your reactions help me relive those feelings from times I thought long gone. It's a form of magic, tbh
You are more than welcome man and thank you for allowing me to do so 🙏 I live a lot of my life thinking about the past, so I try and be cognisant of that to make sure I don’t regret anything in my future - we gotta live today my friend! And not everyone gets to feel that magic you know, takes a special kind of person to let it in brother 🤝
I cried. Hit hard 🙏🏻
Sometimes I cry for my younger self too, but it’s ok. I am free now 🩶
Wow that was emotionally charged, if it’s based on life then hats off to you for putting that into music. Really liked it Teddy, the flow and the wordplay. But mostly because it felt more like poetry than lyrics. I know they are one and the same, but equally very different
Thank you 🤝 everything I write is based on my life, I really only write about memories. This started out as me questioning where my disdain for government/authority came from. Whilst writing I was reminded that I wasn’t always this free thinking or even willing to fight back against it. So I explored that and that’s what led me to the latter half of the lyrics. I’m glad you enjoyed it and you’re right, they’re often one and the same! The interesting part for me is weaving those rhyming syllables within the confines of the bar!
“The way I am” giving you the itch to spit bars yourself haha
Hahaha nahhh check the “Me” tag under this video, I’ve been posting my music here for 3 years! This place is genuinely my outlet 🙋♂️
Fucking fire Teddy. Sounds like an Immortal Technique beat.
Definitely, that kinda eerie feel!
I can feel not only the influence you were talking about yet you 100% made this your own. Your story. And even those rhyme schemes. Diverse and complex but still works. Great job Teddy!
Thank you Mallorie! 🙏
Fire bro! I would realy like you to react to clouds by jcole the lyrics are insanely complex
