High School Kyle
Ok. So you have heard about College Kyle. Right? I’ve talked about College Kyle a couple weeks. And you know? Not the best. Not the wisest young man. Now we are going further back. We’re going to Highschool Kyle.
Whenever I was a senior in high school, there was this sort of charity fundraiser. That was a competition for Senior guys. And it took about 10 or 12 guys together. They would compete to win the crown of Mr. Liberty. Liberty is the high school I went to. So that’s why it is called that. In this competition there are all sorts of whatever things. Like doing a dance choreography thing with a bunch of awkward clunky senior guys but they also had a talent portion. That was a pretty fun site to see. But they also had a talent portion of this competition. I was really looking forward to this talent competition. Many of you may not know this, but I used to be a rapper. I’m not talking Christmas wrapping paper. I’m talking involving music rapper. I wrote like 100 plus songs. There was one point in my life, I was the number 19 best rapper in Kansas City. Don’t clap for that. We all know how fierce the competition is in Kansas City for rapping.
Broken Reputation
At this point, I was like oh this is going to be when my career launches. This is the first time I would have performed in front of somebody. For a live scene. Around the peak of my prominence, around 19, I was like this was going to be it. People are going to see my gift. They are going to start downloading all my stuff. This is going to be my launching point for all this success. I write this song. Its super witty. Its funny and directed to the judges. Talking about why they should pick me to win basically. I have them memorized so, so well. So I come out onto the stage. I have full confidence. Everything’s great. Up to the mic. I remember the first two lines and totally blank on everything else. This was like a four minute song. I’m hit with this panic moment just right after saying the first two lines. I can either tell the person to stop the song and start over. Or…I just freestyle and make it up as I go. I went with that one.
