To Conquer Open Mic

StarFaggot · 01-11-2014, 02:19 PM

The text battling scene is dying here. Mostly just no shows or key styled verses. Great thing about open mic is you don't have to battle anyone.

My thing is this, how can I become a good Open Mic writer of all time? How do you guys write a piece if there's no punchlines?

What is considered good? Do I need imagery, alliteration any other poetic things metaphors etc.

Can I get by with a decent vocab?

Any suggestions would be helpful. I expect OTG to pitch in as well.

Lavender bubbles was a funny punchlines and was well received.

StarFaggot · 01-11-2014, 02:23 PM

@Witty please give me one bit of advice

Witty · 01-11-2014, 02:23 PM

Definitely use vortex as much as possible.

StarFaggot · 01-11-2014, 02:25 PM

Nah man, I need honest advice on writing

CtrlF4 · 01-11-2014, 02:26 PM

Witty · 01-11-2014, 02:26 PM

You might be right. Maybe I'll write a piece on that.

oats · 01-11-2014, 02:40 PM

the trick to being good at writing, I've found, is....

....writing a lot. just read other people, write your own shit, and it'll steadily improve. I've written way more wack - mediocre shit than I have mediocre - dope shit, just gotta keep writing and it'll come.

uh-oh · 01-11-2014, 02:42 PM

i could never write punchlines so i dont have this problem

just say dope shit and make sure it flows and rhymes dope
