Week 14 Chat/Beef

[Vaskez]

lol sorry but you offhandedly dismissed flex battles as easy which stunk of ignorance to me...

did you see some of the coo flex verses dropped in teh bragginwrites tourney? They aint easy to write

[Nick Nice]

na.. i havent read them. maybe there is more to them, but im just sayin it would probably be much easier to glorify myself rather dissing someone else.

[Vaskez]

not really, it's the same difficulty in tryina be fresh and find new ways of writing surprising wordplay etc. just with a different aim

[Seyance]

Don't just think it's a normal verse where you drop glorifying punches, I think Vaskez's example was a bad one. It's a showcase to your talent, proving your technical skill and sending a message saying "i'm dope as fuck" through the use of things like multis, inners, metaphors, imagery, flow and overall swagger. The more you use the better, the wider the range you use.. the better.

I personally think in a lot of ways it's easier to write a dope battle verse than a dope swag verse. For the fact you HAVE to be technically sound and when looking around, I don't see many people in here that are.

[Vaskez]

which example are you talking about and how was it a bad one?

[Seyance]

Your verse, the one posted before from the BW tourney final was more the kind've thing we should be looking for in a flex verse.

[Philly®]

hmmm,

figured the only battle up would have votes by now

[Vaskez]

my verse was a fine example, what do you know ho

everyone can write swag/flex how they want, you aint the authority on it

[Philly®]

lol

i dunno why this reminds me of the south park episode

"respect my authoritieeeeeeee"

[Seyance]

my verse was a fine example, what do you know ho

I'm not the authority, but it's what I write alot.. so I know what I'm talking about.

[Vaskez]

jr kids write a lot of text
doesnt mean they know what they're talking about

bad logic

[Vaskez]

and even if you DO know what you're talking about, it doesnt mean that flex verses have to be written like yours. You can do whatever style you want

[Seyance]

I'm not saying they have to be written like mine, I was saying yours was a bad example. It didn't include a complex enough rhyme scheme, shadow boxes, inners and overall imagery and metaphors. Your flow was stretched out a little and some of your bars felt very wordy.

[Philly®]

everything is opinionated.. but not always true

just like $pit being dope

did i say that out loud?

[Seyance]

Not when looking at the techniques of a verse, e.g. you can tell the difference between a 2 and 5 syllable rhyme scheme.
