And a different issue: the rules should have to be that you have to write your rhymes in common time 4/4 BARS as opposed to lines. Here's why:
your sig is kevin spacey but to put some space between us
i can make spacey made ...
In bars, it would actually look like this:
your sig is kevin spacey but to put some space between us I can make/ spacey made to suck my ...
Because the "I can make" falls in the upbeat of the 4th beat (as a double-time quarter note triplet), it's still technically part of the first bar.
But in lines, one might assume that the upbeat begins on a downbeat, which would disrupt the flow to the reader.
But if I put the way the bars would look in line form, then some rap newbie might mistakenly think that I can't rhyme.
So my impeccable flow (yes, I can rap my shit perfectly) doesn't come through like it should.
I'm thinking fuck this. This rap battle shit should be done audio, or else you CANNOT choose one flow over the other. Every rapper has their own flow, but that won't come out on screen.
I know I'm new to this forum, but I've probably been a musician and rapper longer than most of you. I DO know what I'm talking about.
Thumbs down for this shit.
