Honest opinion
I've been on this forum type stuff since Bay area rap talk days.....i get on here occasionally to observe....this prolly gonna be one of my only/few posts...either way
A few threads ago, I read some other folks talking about constructive criticism, being able to take it in this battle rap environment, and moving on with their lives. Y'all need to keep it that way. Going thru the 'flows' board, in all honesty, sounds like a bunch of drunk teenagers arguing. Fact of the matter is, no matter how you slice it, writing/typing rhymes is wack, because the delivery and beat are essential to the overall rap. So when I read y'all lyrics, it may be completely different in my head than how you would actually deliver it. So when I say shit is wack, as everyone is well aware of, it's just my opinion. Still may seem it's wack.
The song that Fatal put on the other thread, come on y'all. I read comments afterwards like 'yea sick flow' or some shit, and also something to the effect of 'we should get together on a track'. From what I've been reading, it seems like Fatal has a large following on here. Maybe y'all been on here with each other for a while, I don't know. Strait up and down, that track was super garbage. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, having to deal with the karoake machine and a so-so beat. Maybe his next audio will leave me in awe. Who knows, i'm just looking forward to hearing more shit. His written lyrics are cool, so i'm not on here to just hate. Lack of delivery fucked it up. And the word 'delivery' as it pertains to rapping really encompasses a lot of shit.
So, putting the two tracks side by side, (fatal's and indo's), are you guys serious in saying Fatal's is better? Come on now, be real. I don't know what's gone on between everyone and indecent before, but it seems like that animosity has spilled over and doesn't allow some of y'all to give an honest opinion, clouded by their dislike of the artist. I am well aware that the songs were not put on here to be compared. What I am comparing, however, is the measured response by the motherfuckin post-ers. It has basically become a popularity contest.
So instead of someone like jabbz saying basically i'm going to ride on you because of this track, why don't you guys come back with some audio? Would enhance everyone's creativity, and make the competition (between artists/post-ers) much more fucking healthy and productive. Would also enhance my experience as a regular joe schmoe coming onto this site.
I"m cutting and pasting this same comment to put on fatal's thread. Make sure everyone reads it, cuz it's the truth.
