I don't have the amount of Writing Forums in my Chrome Favorites that you do, but I'd be willing to guess my self-awareness and perception of interaction put into novel format would at least come close to the spastic, beauty from chaos book you'd write. Or just pure hilarious chaos that English majors would jerk off to. Your command of language and ideas of structuring said novel would be more refined, too. I'm guessing.

I'd ape Jonathan Franzen's style but with a more emotional slant and a bad ending. I still think I'd win. In this hypothetical novel writing competition that will never happen that I started.

hmmmm that's a big lift
once I said 'you can get the dick' to open a battle
no one called me out for directly biting em, just pointed it out as a gay line
go figure

is jada kiss part of ur verse or are u whispering it

I am no longer supporting Dull Boy or associated acts in any dickriding activities cos of that backhanded Fubu roast line

Its called paying homage Jimmy * in my best tracey Morgan voice *

is it really? when he said that is where he got it from but it was a parody in mid verse? is it really des is it realy

whispering very lowly

Gow, you are very not smart.

I could see it go either way
hopefully nobody voting in the battle took that line as an original dullboy line and weighed it heavily in their vote

is Frank Metts good at roasting or something?

Allusion is not parody.

And please name a famous rapper from the past 20 years who has never used allusion. Some who have, off the top of my head:

Jay Z
Nas
Snoop Dogg
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
2Pac
Method Man
Redman
Ghostface Killah
Kanye West
Eminem

Should I continue?

Rap is our shared cultural lexicon. If you didn't recognize dull boy's flip, you probably are very young. He intended for people to pick up on it.

I didn't even like the flip. I didn't think it was that reative, fresh or interesting. But it clearly wasn't biting.

why is that dullboy because i dont parody other peoples lyrics in the middle of my verses? or because if a newbie did it they would be tormented daily?

or because i dont jump aboard the dull train and just defend you instantly without question?

sorry bro life is life

Biting is a serious accusation, and wouldn't be taken lightly by someone who understands what a reference line is = you shouldn't be judging battles, or speaking at all, imo.

lol @ your backlash over people liking me

Very gay.

The biting/homage/parody debate section of this all-spanning topic has devolved into a baseless circle jerk. This topic needs a stage 5.

thats fucking stupid, so because its dullboy he intended people to pick up on it

how come the same inst said for every other person who used someone elses bars ? or do we only hold that special thing to people that we ride dick for?

GET 'EM CERTAIN.

AYO

I USED TI READ WORDUP MAGAZINE
SALT AN PEPPA AND HEAVY D UP IN THE LIMOSINE
REALL NIGGAS DONT READ


ITS GOOD TO KNOW THE FUTURE HAS RIBS BRO.

SRS. I HATE U FAGGOTS LIKE MUSLIMS.

does dull boy even really write topicals though? ive read some of his verses but havent seen an actual topical from him yet

Can we talk about Gamble
