Emcees are a dime a dozen, we got a dozen of dimes. For those who don't think we're serious...
hiphop piano chinese acoustic guitar femcee asian vietnamese magnetic north
Comprised of close friends that share an unhealthy lust for music, Magnetic North is a hip hop duo that strives to find the balance between insightful lyrics and engaging instrumentals. Though they formed in 2003, both Direct and T-minus have been emceeing for over 7 years. Direct, the mastermind behind their instrumentals, favors melodies heavy in acoustic guitar, piano rifts, and a variety of strings. He tops off his production with honest rhymes and a refreshingly crisp delivery. Then there is T-minus, so called for her timebomb like tendencies, who brings to Magnetic North that final touch - a female emcee as comfortable on the mic as any of her male contemporaries. Currently, they expect to release their first album together by early 2005. Downloads and more information can be found on their website at

Lyrics
CHORUSx2 Emcees, they just a dime a dozen I got a dozen of dimes Cuz everyone and they cousin be jackin' other rapper's lines Their uh, rhymes mean nothing because half the time, Their raps are lies, And that's why... T: So you wanna be an emcee? You wanna rhyme huh? You wanna characterize your life in liners? You think it's simple grab a pad and then you grip a pencil, You write a song and when it bombs you blame the instrumental? It's evidential, they barely respect-ya See I write from the soul not the Merriam-Webster And that Einstein is the fine line thats between us ...nevermind the line that's more like Mars and Venus So leave it, why don't you, put the mic aside right? You in it for the cameras but glamour is so finite. So where's your heart at? Mine's here on this page. Your heart never leaves the confines behind your rib cage. Plus you all say, the same things and topics. The same bling, same scene, the same plot twists. The same flow, the same lame pantameters. For shame yo, way to fucking drain the game amateurs! CHORUS Direct: Now I know, the masses like to act fascist at my tracks, Cuz I don't, rag on bastards with bad ass type battle raps And my clothes, don't happen to match the latest fashion fads, So I, should be banned from having a mic in my hand? Well bitches like it or scram, cuz I'm goin fight it and stand here, keep writing these lyrics til all ya'll hear it real damn clear. keep shouting and screaming, til my lungs run out bleeding til my heart's just stops beating, this hip hop art is my being. But seeing how you don't-really-listen, to what emcees be spitting you just, follow the hype, and to what-ever is spinning on the radio waves, and what your friends play man forget crea-tivity and how the shit was made Yo who cares that I composed, e-ver-y note, on this beat, huh? Who cares that I expose all-of-my-soul, when I speak, huh? Who cares that all of my flows are original and unique, huh? Man when will the ignorant people stop hinderin music by clipping its wings, huh? CHORUS Direct: It's like, everyday a new name pops up in the game man, but it's sad to say that all you start to sound the same man. It's a shame man, betta say your a-mens, I'm sorry, but none of us really want any more carbon copies. You copy? T: 10-4, I'll be your mentor I'll prove to you what this pen is really meant for Against your, popular beliefs and philosophy It ain't for, talking about your frequent misogyny Direct: So follow me, cuz I'm about to break some new ground, Cuz soon tomorrow be, the day that I create a new sound, So step into this revolutionary era of rap, It's about time, that my asian heritage varies the demographs T: So pass the Stenopad, cuz ya'll never had the heart for it You never gave hip hop half of what I offered it That's why you rap acts are rehashed and half assed We get the last laugh, biatch, and that's that.
