FLOW
Flow is not structure everyone should remember that, flow is how well it comes off the tounge, there is no beat in texting battling so this is how you judge it, if you are stopping and re reading and confused how the next words come about he has BAD Flow , it also about were every rythm
Example 1 -
see ma words kill with this word skill, you aint blaze your glaze,
twenty ways i smash you, just bash through, throw you in the trash to,
that bar by Tournament rapper "WordSkill" has good flow if you check the rythming, Blaze and Glaze end the line the next rythm is Ways witch flows the lines together, he then opts to change the rythming scene but still has the flow
Example 2 -
fuck you , tuck blew , machine dun firing range
then you spill and i kill your posse
that bar i just made has bad flow, the rythming starts nice then he changes it and doesnt flow the lines together
STRUCTURE
Structure is simple and good structure usually is a good plus for flow
Example 1 -
am a deadly spitter but more deadly hitter
you a deadly shitter but even shitter spitter
that bar i just made has great structure both has 8 words with near the same ammount of sylybles aswell, if you do not know what a sylyble is please google
Example 2 -
am a deadly spitter but more deadly hitter
you really a fucking deadly shitter even worse your a shit spitter
that bar i just made has terrible structure, some words dont even need to be there
always check your verse before posting and check the structure count the words and sylybles and you should no mess up on it, it doesnt need to be perfect just no bad enough to notice
PUNCHES
Punches is a BIG part in battling its were you compare your oppenent to somethin humilating or make a personel shot about him/his skill/his family anythign that can humilate him.....BUT punches can also be used to compare yourself to something but that is alot less effective and not usually considered a good punch
Example 1 -
once i win this we can battle agan if you wanne
i feel bad, you got your penis size from you momma
That bar is usng a punch "inches" used in a battle a while back, not the exact same lines though, as you can see its funny and its smart coz "momma's" dont have penis's and its personel
Example 2 - see your so scared you gonni pee
youll run away like a floating tree
That bar i just made there, and some ppl straight up may think its good but it sucks, you see tree's dont run so the comparrison is shit, they cant run, and why a floating tree is just stupid
MULTIES
We should all know what multis is but ill show examples
Example 1 -
sick-o-matic
trick-to-static
Example 2 -
Prime-fanatic
Time-automatic
both of them are multis , because the have the same sylybles and all the words rythm
example 3 -
Sick-o-matic
Trick-to-ya-static
that isnt a multi because of the added word "ya"
RHYMES
Rythms are above but also the words used
example 1 -
imma shoot threw you
itll end you life to
thats bad rythming very simple words that everyone has done a million times
example 2 -
this is just like climb and practice
and my rythms like cactus
now that isnt super rythming but better , using Practice and cactus is pretty smart , cactus aint a commenly used word...
VOCAB
vocab or vocabulary ir simply haing a bigger knowledge of more words, i wont do example but if you always rythm with , To , You , Blue , Moo , you have bad vocab , if you want an example of excellent vocabulaury listen to McMaybe, the only way to get this better is read books/dictionarys/thesaruases
COMPLEXITY
complexity is a mixture or everything , rythmes
, multis , name play, vocabulary
Example 1 -
sick-o-matic like your hair a trick to static my rythms dramatic,
flow in time automatic, im real, you just a prime fanatic,
see your neck a snap it, now check, a rap it no guess a tap it,
you spit shit a spit wit dont quit just admit my rythms transmit,
through your mind and time but a dont mind this crime,
those lines by me arent extremely complex but the complexity is there, multi, rythming in line multis ect
Example 2 -
im a real street gangsta
your just a normal wanksta
id even say your a pranksta
you just aint no gangsta
very simple lines no complexity at all
NAMEPLAY
nameplay now i beileive a lot of people do not think about battles enough to notice name play at times so ill shall explain
Example -
another magazine im goin to get shot off quick
you aint mean just coz you cock off dick
that was the first bar in a battle " 24 mag vs Mc-Menace" now that bar was by mc menace and has gook examples of word play....his opponent is called 24 mag so the first reference to magazine is nameplay , he is referring to magazine that your read and the magazine in a gun...shot of quick is also name play witht he word shot, get shot of somehting can mean throw it away ( through the magazine as in the one you read away ) then it can also mean shot a gun off ( as in shoot the magazine in a gun off ) that first line interlinks the both uses of wrodplay..... the last line has a litte aswell, Cock of dick....now cock of dick is using cock as name play you can cock somehting of as in suck so suck off dick , or cock it of as in cock of a gun... thats name play
OTHER
other is simply the refferences used ( metephors ) any effects like alliteration you liked or did you enjoy it overall
