Wordplay....

[Victor.]

theres two types of txt battlers ppl who type shit as if they was saying it, and more intricate txt heads who have a "Read only" style

both are dope imho


We are reaching a point where everyone ISNT using the same style for once and I applaud that

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.

I tend to split the difference on some of these issues.
For example, on your first point.. I view txt as a means to an end.. But also realize that it's txt.. Sooo, I'd say that txt wp doesn't have to be "as cool with" or "perfectly built for" audio.. but it should also Never "fuck up" the phonetics or be such a stretch as to make things awkward..

as far as my opinion on those 2 examples, I'm just not feeling the first one by joog.. I think it sucks (although it's technically sound).. And no offense to joog I'm sure he has plenty of examples of "good" wp.. but in my view this isn't one of them. if it's corny it better be pretty dang funny and/or clever, and i am just not amused by that example.

the second example by Un is fine for txt without screwing up the flow or phonetics. granted i did have to try it a couple different ways but i think that's mainly cuz i kinda suck..
But anyway, it's kinda clever and "not as stretchy".. so i don't have a problem with it; but i also wouldn't cite it in a vote and be like "Omg he merked with that wp gotta give a major boost to the verse bcuz of it".. more like a "bit of seasoning" (that being a dope metaphor, with the meat of the verse being the main ingredients).. anyway..

again,just my opinions

My Wyatt line was a perfect recent example of excellent wordplay usage.

Poison Sumac would be the opposite recent example.
