I've heard of him, I've been watching a lot of these acapella battles recently. I never really liked them (I never understood why rap battles with actual beats playing went out of style???? puzzles me). It seemed like it turned into a comedy event vs music. Nothing will ever beat when you diss someone like they do in these videos but you do it to a BEAT. Hits 10x harder to a beat vs acapella.
I have a theory on this, it is simply EASIER to put together complex rhymes acapella than to a metronome. I agree there is a clear distinction and one is more 'off the top with flow spoken word?' to me as well. Tough to judge flow and deliver with no beat though.When it comes to the acapella battles I'm a huge fan of The Saurus and a bunch of other people but I think The Saurus is #1
That's the thing, though, about these new "rap battles". It's not rap, it's spoken word battles. IDK man I will always prefer battles over a beat like real rap battles
yea there is definitely a drop 4 bar (I hope semi freestyle) cypher type deal. (What you should do is get a fairly normal BPM beat for those of us (me) who are bar-tarderd/challenged.) Pretty sure I been stinkin it up the last couple days uhh not posting drunk surely. It needs fresh blood too *EDIT* It is in the "words" forum.i realized after posting this that this isn't the thread for blue lighters writing free styles, that might've been in the longue. i remember a few people were posting stuff. i thought this was that thread and not a video one.
but posting got me thinking of different raps... the marijuana dispensary that is my favorite is a 4 mile walk from the place i live now and where i'm gonna be moving, so walking there and back is 8 miles.. i thought of this cool chorus for a rap last night it was repeating stuff about 8 mile walk like eminem, 8 mile walk with a sore back again, or something, but that wasn't it. i remember it was kind of like some of those reggae rappers that go hardcore in my head. i don't even know the names of any of them... i have a pretty bad back. i tried walking to the dispensary a few weeks ago, and on the way back i was really feeling the nerve damage. when i got home and slept it off, i felt fine. it didn't really injure me anymore, but 8 mile walk is pretty rough for me.
i forgot it by the time i was upstairs to record it or write it down.. if i could remember it, i'd probably post on the internet looking for some one to make a beat cause i'm not good with a lot of styles of beats... would've been cool. i think it'd be funny to get a speaker and walk to the dispensary and back rapping it the whole time. i like to do stuff like the great gonzo from the original muppets.
