Yeah, there's a limitation.. don't over-do it.
Connection def has to be within reason, otherwise ur just rhyming a bunch of words for NO reason. Very possible. I draw the line in the sand. I take into account accents sometimes, yes. But it rarely affects the verse. It's still English. Not necessarily. I feel like it is ok, yes. It's not better either way.. it all just depends on how it connects to ur punch/diss. Whatever grabs the readers attention leading up to what ur trying to get across. |

Wordplay can be extremely corny at times.
You have to be careful with it...say it out loud to yourself before you post.

I wish ppl were more accepting of txt wp and realize this isn't audio, its txt.
@joog U fuckn wat hoes? Most sluts dont want no clown. Ull never catch a whore eyes, Un..u just stalk them til the sun go down @Unfukwitable when I put'em in a vegetable state, lets see how hard he'll really be; U was never born into riches but u'll finally have, No response ability! Just remembered these from the cypher. Most ppl would say those are a reach or stretch or don't work cause there's a pause but I like wp like that. I think its dope. I like most types of wp as long as its tied in and worded correctly and it makes sense both ways. |

Ion even use wordplay like that anymore in battles.. rarely.
If it's a live battle/audio then yeah, of course.. but otherwise in text it isn't too necessary imo. |

If it isn't basic or working both ways, it shouldn't be used basically is what I get from Bags post.

wordplay has and always been one of those things thats more of a hindrance to a battle verse than a perk. live or text.
most of the time, even when it isn't "forced" it feels... unnatural, I think is the best way to put it. like it almost always comes across like you tried REALLY hard to make it fit into your verse and that makes it stand out, and not in a good way. at least in the way it's often done today.. wordplay is at it's best when it's subtle, and simple yet clever.

Yeah I don't think there is such a thing as too much
I do think it's horrible when ppl who don't know what they are doing are forcing it Tbh I'm happy to see a resurgence of wp

Being creative is one thing. Being corny is another.

If your too far fetched it could actually be an amazing creative concept that everyone will love. But at the time of voting people might not get it unless you explained it to them. Then your swaying. I am British so my issue with wording is I can't use the slang a lot of people are accustomed to and at the same time I can't use my own slang because again a lot of people wouldn't get it No i don't think it has to be transferable to audio in the sense you can create a line that is fire in text that as a audio would come off awful If it's played but is flipped freshly I don't see anything wrong with that. Let's face it there's a limit to wordplay. If you push it too far you may lose your reader by being too far fetched. Simple is more consistent. I think complex is better and more people should risk it but you risk missing out on the votes. Im no expert but I also have given much thought to the points you brought up. |

I don't believe explaining a concept is swaying.

If you're asked to explain it.
