K. Sparks - Everybody Has a Series
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: Kurser
Album: Manic Mondays (#28)
Label: Unsigned
Though writing’s more my forte, I’ve been know to spit the occasional freestyle among close friends (who won’t laugh me out of the room). Lately, though, I’ve been thinking that an online-only series might be my ticket to rap superstardom—at least, I was thinking that till K. Sparks‘s 28th Manic Mondays entry brought me crashing down to earth. Lamenting the fact that Everybody Has a Series, the Queens rapper lyrically eviscerates all the “bandwagon n*ggas” who have no business being within a hundred feet of a microphone, but think that they can get some shine by copying their betters’ promotional strategies. As always, Sparks sets the bar high with witty, aggressive verses, this time over a slow-burning, sampled beat by Rewind and Hip-Hop President producer Kurser. After weeks of typing “K. Sparks killed it yet again,” I think I’m developing carpal tunnel syndrome, but it must be said—this cut should be required listening for prospective series-starters.

this guy needs to stop making these songs, they're ill, but they'll never take him to the commercial top, which is every rapper's goal, whether they admit it or not. Let him stop pumping out weekly songs, work on churning out a surefire HIT, and then use these other bangin songs to fill his album.

This kind of rap is so much better than that comercial rap that is coming out these days. I am tired of the damn auto-tune. This is rap. The true rap is underground these days, other than the establsihed superstars (Game, Luda, Jeezy, T.I., etc.). I hope K. Sparks does well because he has talent.

The production does a great job at setting an erie, creepy tone for the song. All the hook does is add to that with the screwed vocals. K Sparks is as great as always, and comes wit a great message/complaint/warning this time... Tell 'em K!

I agree with GStan10 and Hoffa. I feel that hip hop is starting to go back to great lyrics and great beats. A lot of people are brain washed by this trash out. Remember the days when artist like the fugees would go platinum? It still can happen. Artist like k sparks, mickey factz and others will do it.

The production is kind of on the dark side but it works for K. Sparks. His lyrics are nice and I like how he gets out at his haters! Hook wasnt that impressive but K. Sparks insane flow makes up for it. Banger!

K. is right about every rapper trying to do the series thing. The key to a series, however, is quality music over quantity of music. It's obvious which side of the fence Mr. Sparks sits.
@mmcoolman2000 - While you are entitled to your opinion, allow me to quickly explain something. The record industry has turned into a "who is hot right now industry." Unfortunately, artists don't last in that environment. Selling ONE single and getting rich quick means you end up on a VH1 reality show in 6 years. Trust that K. has a solid plan in place - as many artists similar to him do as well - and when the time is right, he will make the right move.

Wow, he went in on this. That beat sounds so simple but it works SO well. Lyrically I have to say Sparks did his thing like he always does. I do think the hook to this song is very week though. Luckily this hook isnt the focus in this song, so its ok. This is easily a banger.

maybe he should come out with a commercial type song so he will get noticed as more of a mixtape artist, not sayin he should stop doing him, just maybe something along the lines of maino, speak the truth but make it versatile to everyones likes. otherwise dude can spit, got lyrics, nice production, and he is on top of the mixtape game

I agree with smokethej. He does get slept on way too much as far as mainstream goes. But here on the Booth, few get as much praise as him. So, why is that success not being translated onto the mainstream radio? It doesn't make any sense, but in the meantime, I'm going to give this song the rating it deserves.
