VERITAS

split8 has a very distinct style.

i also feel like it would be difficult to mimic zygote's battle rap style. he reads as very formulaic and easy to copy but i imagine in practice it's much tougher than it seems

no one could mimic my style

I would say most would find it difficult to write like me, how i normally write, i don't know if i have posted much of that here, or much of anything really, but i would say i do things a little differently at least...but then again I would find it difficult to write like pretty much anyone else, I only know how to write one way.

I have been experimenting with different sides of it recently but it is back to the tried and tested for my next piece.

I would say people like darth yoda tbh and wise, and a good few others...that clever, witty, zany paragraph stuff is something i don't think I would be good at tbh it gets hated on a lot but i think it is fun to read and takes a certain type of mind to be able to do it. Nobody rhymes like me though, not with the consistent flow throughout a 60+ line piece while staying on topic and telling an intricate tale at the same time...THE FLOW JUST DOESN'T STOP, I DUNNO HOW I DO IT EITHER, I AMAZE ME TOO.

tbhumble.

Beyond & Aero.

Beyond, because his mild case of OCD and perfectionist tendencies force him to make the length of his lines as equal as possible, without sacrificing superb rhyme schemes and a showcase of complex multies. 99% of short bar battlers are lazy as fucking fuck, with this "as long as it rhymes with faggot and has dat punch" attitude. I will never see the day when someone on this board gets to Beyond's lvl.

Aero because he's witty, humorous and has a way with words that make his bars flow flawlessly as they ease into the punchline.

Frank tbh

he has a very unique, audio friendly and complex flow ,and brings characterization and real human emotions all the while using tongue in cheek dark comedy

lexicon has a very unique style. tough to pick apart. he writes from an intriguing perspective

Lol in here, good thread

He was dope and my boy. Wish I still had our collabs from that site's Open Mic section.

As for the thread, I don't really find people's styles hard to mimic. At all.

In fact, that was my persona back in the day. For anyone who knows my AIM name, which is Spittin Image, I created it because I could mimic anyone's style to perfection.

I've beaten some of the people being posted in this thread with their own style just because I can.

Sound like competition lol

lol

Do you ever get tired of living? If I were you I think I would sometimes.

lmao @ beyond's blatent big head
apparently the lack of an eye has allowed his head to expand into that area

I thought it was kind of obv beyond bit the saurus' style? hmm

I used a mix of blue bayou and hush style to beat beyond

no, but seriously, I beat beyond

Take a few shots of patron followed by a case of patron mix in some sociopathic tendancies and a knack for not giving a fuck what anyone thinks with a shitload of swag and you may be able to write like the nigga that wants to write like me.

"with a chin load of swag"

fixed

manhattan is bwhahas brother and have seen them do similar verses to each other. neighbor/manhattan are close, but not identical.

It's different though, people think they have a certain style mimicked but, when it comes to differentiating (an art in itself) it's very easy to see who's who. That's why I said Vulgar. People can mimic his cadence, his word usage, the way he compares and uses references, but I can choose a vulgar verse from a bunch if 10 other writers were copying him. The only one I can see coming close would be @NYCSPITZ to that sort of style. Geno/Wise are close, to each other, but not identical (in some instances) Pancake is also someone who's hard to mimic. I'd say certain has a certain style. lol. But me and dull have pointed out it's a liquefied version of me trying to copy dull. :p jk (not really

In writers who are synonymous in writing I'd say it would be

Neighbor/Manhattan
Wise/Geno
Oats/Certain (they're my best friends)
Zygote/Pancake (longshot, but both are formulaic)
Me/Dull (WE're the same person)
Split 8/Dead (deads style is easy to spot by the way he formats his writing)

i would say the hip hop style of writing is what you all struggle at emulating
