Off to an excellent start!

(this image does not belong to me. Just putting it up to illustrate a point.)

So I wrote the first five pages of my first feature ever! and it feels GREAT! I realize there will be many revisions but I can't help but love what I've already written. lol.

Since this is my first post, I will start it off with a bit of hip hop.

Nas - Take It in Blood Part 2

There are a lot of great rappers, but Nas is my favorite of all time. Few emcees can touch his level of imagination and clarity IMO. Definitely an inspiration for me when I approach the craft of writing. Plus my screenplay deals with blood in a very unique way.

Which is better, the "Take It in Blood" off the It Was Written CD, or part 2? Personally, I feel Part 2 more. It's just more....raw. The first is more of smooth gangsta feel, which is great. But I like the added edge in part 2. I feel like Nas was just blacking out when he was rhyming. Plus the chorus is better.
