This was very messy with instances of intriguing content. You write like Zygote at 40% and I hope you don't take that harshly. I wonder what site you come from where many likeminded writers all are connected in some way - it's interesting. Is it a Canibus rap forum? I think you can write hall of fame material pieces, as in exceptionally written stories, but you need a lot of work still. From memory, your freestyle video you showed me was indicative that you are Hispanic, which explains a lot of your rhythmic inaccuracies. One of the biggest turn offs about a verse is when a writer is constantly disheveled and can't seem to decide on a concrete, consistent scheme, at least syllabically. One moment you are organized, the next you abandon your post and you're overrun by "soldiers of writer's neglect" as I will dub it.
Your writing hasn't found its natural angle yet. You stumble over vocabulary words, but you also excel at some aspects as well. It's a mixture of failure and success - only one prevails in the long run if glaring mistakes are present. You don't strike me as a perfectionist, but a go with the wind type, like you'll write 20 long pieces, and maybe 5 of them will be something really special, or worth furthering your efforts on. Would any of those be classics at this point in your writing metamorphosis? Doubtful at this CURRENT point, however, it doesn't mean anything if you set your mind to approaching a work with patience and adventurousness. I'm going to comment on the entire verse and edit it a little as well. I hope it helps you to see what areas you may be lacking in. I'm in no way being condescending with this breakdown, just speaking from what I think can be improved upon. Discard as you feel necessary. Quote:
Keep doing you |

Hello my friend,
My reaction? Well, I do not take any of what you have said as harsh, but rather with hefty consideration. For what you have provided is indeed good feedback, so it is indeed necessary for me to give it a listen to. Hopefully, rectifying with practice the weaknesses. I also see the shortcomings in what I choose to start my lines with. I do write spontaneously, almost as in free writing, and then come back and edit. Your assessment of the more of the wind type is correct. What thing I do disagree with is keeping a consistent concrete rhyme scheme at all times, that is a perfectionist attribute that I'm not too ardent to apply. I do have some perfectionist in me, but I'm not obsessive either. But I wholeheartedly agree that my rhyme schemes can definitely be improved on. Any advice would be highly appreciated to address the proposed chaos. As for the stumbling of vocabulary I do not know if I understand what you are trying to convey. Any clarification would be most insightful. Most of the times when I write I use words/ terminology that are in my vocabulary already. And from whence I came from is not from another forum. Especially not one that consists of like minded Canibus followers/ fanbase. To tell you the truth I do not listen much to him. I usually wrote with any other enthusiastic fellows that were willing to share and partake that space with me. Fauhst as in Goethe's. And yes weep his light means the pouring/ leaking out of his essence, what made the boy him. Thank you very much for giving me many fine points in which I can begin to work on.

Buddha, in my opinion you should capitalize your multis so as to make it an "easier read"...not necessarily all of them...but perhaps the ones that need to be drawn out or sped up in order to make the rhythm work better. for example: Things like “become a faun for your displeased as Faust is”. The poster child of Flawless Manners began to be Tarnished. i myself also need work on syllabic tempo...it's informative to see things broken down like this, by Vulgar or whoever else. @UnbornBuddha @Vulgar Last edited by Pharaohs Army; 08-12-2014 at 05:34 PM. |
