This is funny because Pancake was just telling me how he was mad at my interpretation of Grizzly Bears, and that is why he was coming at me sideways in a thread last night!
Deja vu!

I'm onto your game, shitbird

Ya

Not inspired atm, day after tomorrow I think I will be good to write, sorry for delay

Aesthetic · 08-25-2013, 02:13 AM

Whats a shitbird? That's a very subjective clause.

PancakeBrah · 08-25-2013, 02:15 AM

@Split Eight

You didn't feed that piece. We had many a romantic PM about it. The Grizzly Bear thing was just a pettiness that tipped the scales of how I feel about Vulgar feed. You can insinuate some sort of insulting self-centered bias in this conversation if you like. It's wrong. But you're more than welcome to do it.

Vulgar · 08-25-2013, 02:15 AM

The problem with the Grizzly Bear piece was that the first time I fed it, it was a slow process before I misclicked, or typed, and bye bye went quality analysis. Weeks later, the retry was a scrawny, malcontent version of the original feed. All in all, I say what I think and try to do it in a courteous manner. I probably used to treat this medium (and feedback especially) in a more orthodox way. Maybe I need a break from rhyming for awhile in order to rejuvenate my mental faculties.

'Keep doing you' was said to me a long time ago by one of my earliest rap teachers, so I decided to adapt it for usage in his honor.

Certain · 08-25-2013, 02:17 AM

I think the "keep doing you" and "never let anyone tell you how to rhyme" sayings espoused so often are poisonous. Yes, it's a hobby in a field that has no earning potential at all. But that doesn't mean we should write without the goal of improvement.

Aesthetic · 08-25-2013, 02:18 AM

Who the fuck would write a song about grizzly bears.

PancakeBrah · 08-25-2013, 02:18 AM

I would never suggest you stop posting rhymes as your Open Mics would probably rate as #2 in clickability behind black's. Although you and the collective of dull/bwhaha aliases do battle.

Split · 08-25-2013, 02:21 AM

Not sure if you mean morally wrong or what

I rode my bike to a party down the street and rode back shitfaced

20 mph on a bike, drunk, is a great feeling

Vulgar · 08-25-2013, 02:22 AM

Nah you don't need to worry about me disappearing as I'm not a delicate flower. I'm actually interested and semi-riled up by these observations, Caketh. I do feel like I agree with @Certain Serpent on the feedback meme sayings, but like I said, they helped me grow as a writer so I think nurturing is an important aspect in harvesting newbies. I used to be really really inspired to leave feedback on pieces. Now it feels more like complacent ritual - hence the reason why I said maybe I do need a break, else I do a disservice to an upcoming Kid Dynamite.

PancakeBrah · 08-25-2013, 02:24 AM

Word. You should try writing some with some emotional weight. And in response I'll write a science-perfect attack on a subject with great rhymes and no emotion. With a socialist slant.

Vulgar · 08-25-2013, 02:25 AM

I wrote a pome about a stripper. Possibly emotionless. I can't tell.

Good use of 'poem' as a condescending noun.

The switch off offer stands. We could make it a collab.

How is that condescending? I love poetry.

And yes, I accept, but only if it's not about women.

Split · 08-25-2013, 02:28 AM

sorry for your lose

PancakeBrah · 08-25-2013, 02:31 AM

I'd normally be fucked, but if we're doing a collab trying to ape the other person's style I should ok.
