- - THE OFFICIAL S.T.I DISCUSSION THREAD! (http://netcees.org/showthread.php?t=124475)

I have read some of the feedback given and I feel out of place to be honest

I could offer my HUMBLE opinion on the pieces submitted but I FEAR it may be rather RUDIMENTARY (literally unsure if I used that word right) in comparison to other critiques offered thus far

Let's just call it a wash here

I'll agree not to vote and you all will agree that you are happy having me not do so.....

Also let the record show cimm squeaked by w a measly 5-1 robbery.

I maintain my topical glory.

a harvard alum should thrive alongside all these pretentious fucks.

LOL I see u owl

Rudimentary was a correct word choice.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed your verse. Cimmerian's style of uber short, laser precise verses present a problem to even the best in the game, in my opinion. Hard to pick apart.

most of the old guard rate him as one of the best. i've read like three verses - can't imagine he always wrote like that.

I wanted to do alot more w that verse ..... only had the one day to really work on it

I'm ashamed

Legit makes me want to have done better

I've been reading him for 15 years. He's pretty much always written like that, to some degree.

This is from 2002:

Quote:

Sip time out of bottled role models, watchful lips’ll bathe,
Crafting hourglass sand castles, and watch‘em drift away,
On a whim of waves, no tidings, riding on the foam float,
My broken homecoming, crystalline adobe’s stone throw,
Twice homicidal, fowl play cliché, cross their own road,
A fork's in it, we meet deep, to feel the bones poked,
Whoa!… settle the stallions round mountainous sunspots,
Plow the forest for my porous Trojan horses in one chop,
Can’t hack it, but I’ll tell the tale with a lumberjack twist,
Clash with, titan cymbals, tremble till the thunderclaps rip,
Easy as a freethrow, Atlas, snap wrist, skydive Icarus backflip,
Saunter pass go, collecting shadows in a licorice black twist,
That’s a peter panoramic view for the few who never knew this,
Luck of St. Patrick, marching in madness, underdog, new tricks,
Can’t teach this, breathe then apply, rubbing the bare skin,
Damn speechless when it seeps in... now that’s cimmerian.

All of his pieces were 12 or 16 or no more than 24 lines, with tight rhyming and unique phraseology.

well, shit. that's cool.

Yep. He was considered the best Open Mic writer on these sites when I was still new.

I predict I lose to dead man in the next round. There is a sort of melancholy underdog tone with unique phrasing, imagery, and good flow that is intertwined is his verses. How can you not root for that?

Strong STRONG pre anti-sway. You're above that.

ENG VS PINOT AND ONE OTHER BATTLE STILL UP FOR VOTES!
