Anyway, I find it both sad and amusing that so many people are like "omg I don't like rap but this is good". Rapping is almost exclusively about the lyrics. Sure, it's great to hear some nice beats but without the lyrics they're nothing. What most of you guys have heard are a bunch of clowns who waste your time rapping about things that don't mean anything to you. As soon as you hear a rap about something that is relevant to your interests (i.e. StarCraft), you realise that it can be intriguing, so it's all about whether the artist has any talent at all. | ||

I was afraid it might...I'm always bad at gauging these things. still, there has to be a way to ditch the pretentiousness and still say what I mean. OK, let me try again. it's just that I'm sort of into light verse, and people who write that kind of stuff are really exacting about rhyming and meter and stuff like that, so that kind of spoiled me for rap where the standards for that sort of thing are looser. any better? You're right, and I wouldn't, if I were the first poster in the thread, but when I see lots of posts that I disagree with, I get this urge to state my countervailing opinion. Probably I still shouldn't. I did try to mitigate my tone by qualifying, but that only resulted in my sounding pretentious, I guess. I wonder if a smiley would have worked better.  Your criticism is misplaced though, as is usually the case when you attempt to employ aesthetic standards appropriate for one art form in evaluating another. Rap is simply not light verse put to music. Would you consider it fair if I were to critique your favorite light verse poets on their (in)ability to create great beats, and then rap over them with subtle inflections, rhythms, and general vocal flow? | ||

On topic: That raven line is my favorite as well. Ditto on the intro being too long and slightly awkward. I loved the shout outs at the end too... Day9 for life hahaha. | ||
