Maybe it is.
Now, I realize that I'm not the only one guilty of what you've said above, but certainly I'm a culprit, which I will try2 explain later.
Although it Is funny how some of the things digged up 'legit have' 1 or more people expressing: "I will get to this" sentiments. Lol. Sort of legitimizes it. Been more action here the last few days, mainly due to Mr.J feeding... but maybe the digging up of olds by me&other ppl is a part of it.
I guess maybe your tone just stung me a little. Almost wanted to say "you need to get over yourself bro." Maybe I just need thicker skin.
Few things:
1) You're dope at writing. Noice flow
Recently I loved the end of a line you had on the cypher that read
you're deep. got it. don't sleep on it.
Whole verse was cool tbh
2)
rather be forgotten than relegated to merely ‘quotable’.
This line from this here oldass piece is cool. Resonates with me personally because I'm a weird cat who'd really take a lot of pride in being merely quotable.
3)I don't Need to defend a couple diggings I've done. But I wanna--
I)OK 1 was where I felt like I "tried" to give high-level criticism-- on an older feed-post of mine-- less ineptly than I would have wanted to.. I realize ppl have thick skin, but perhaps I had a few pangs of guilt that I did not make it clear that the piece was written very well before going into analysis/critique.
II)Regarding my ongoing back&forth "works" with @emcee no one cares:
First of all, at least when it was bumped it's some decent rhyming, as opposed to ppl just typing a "." for a bump. Was not dug up for "other people" necessarily (although I appreciate readership)...it's simply "where the thing happens." When I was a younger pup here I truly did not know people could "create a thread" in freewrite area. For some reason I assumed they were all standard built-in cypher threads. So I created it in the Open Mic area... to this day I actually WANT a mod to close that thread, or preferably move it to the freewrite if there's any possible way to do that.
III)A third dig of mine simply had to be done. An epiphany of sorts regarding Tinder which I just want other people to understand or appreciate. It is the elusive key which opens the door between prose and rap.. However good ANY classic/top-notch works here have been done. This is different &I've never seen a scheme so crazyGood.. I've written, and read other writers, for years and years. So I suppose, just as You have to get over yourself, I have to get over myself as well-- since I say things like: If I have an epiphany about something you better believe it's big fucking deal. lol, Anyway I really don't mean you hostility here. Just wanted to say some chit so take it for what it's worth.
