Do you need to "go there" or get into the frame of mind related to your subject matter? For example, writing from the perspective of a murderer, as a priest or a child, as a peaceful sage in the woods... what gets you in the mood? Directly. Is it a variation of the same thing?

When I battle or write topicals, I have different states of mind. Especially pic battling. Just curious if there are some more different or unique customs out there, pre-writing rituals.

If there is already a thread like this in the past, my bad.

What's up fam?

PM me let me know things are going

Drink mad pre workout stimulants and do a line of coke

I will sit on a topic for at least 12 hours and think of a different approach. Writing comes natural to me though. I can write a full length verse in under a hour. You know my style though vulgar, condensed lines with as much content per as I can fit. So this takes more time, I actually write two bars and condense them to one for maximum depth. I also would always write to a beat for potential recording possibilities, recently though I started writing to entire catalogs of beats instead of flowing to just one. But in the past month I found myself writing in silence,which is new to me, but I like it. The different beats I realized would dictate flow. So a single verse wouldn't flow well together, but individually fine.



Either way, writing is something I love, and Lars, I write for me. I'm not as evolved as you admittedly,but I see myself going down the route of tailoring each verse for a competitor soon. For now, I just enjoy writing and think I'm the best so don't want to change a thing. Even though I lose a lot, it's rare that I read my verse and my competitor and think to myself, "he would get my vote". The style I write with I would vote for every time pretty much.



1-0 vs Lars though. ;)

[Mr. J]

insomnia usually helps too..

[sral]

LOL Adonis caught me sleeping, we've all had a battle vs someone we don't respect at all in our craft and just wrote some bullshit we thought would be enough to win then they've lucked out and somehow won by a vote or two. You guys know how it is.

Not one person here thinks he is actually on the same level I am.

Real talk.

Lol Black, Soulstice, Oats, Pinot Grij, NYC, Big Baby, Pancakebrah all doper than prime Lars. Lars gives 100% effort and comes up with good fanfiction about pirates on floating islands, and it does have good creativity, vocab flow etc all that but it's mostly the sub 110iq crowd who eats it all up and everybody knows that. Black robbed in winter topical. Everybody I mentioned also tries way less than Lars who is 100% focused bc not much else going on in his life than topicals. The people I mentioned are better writers and more intelligent, IMO just my opinion...

I am up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday working a shift and about to get breaded then turn that into more loots via options or bottom bounce plays while all of u are hung over and posting about bar fights that were probably a missed punch, an apology and a kiss on the cheek IRL...Diode's portfolio is meaningless now. Focused...

blah blah blah that whole list all writes better than you and probably in dif formats too. You have a the personality of a 6th grade juvenile and you're like 34, which is a mark of insecurity and compensation. Veritas to thread...

Also again, black completely robbed in winter topical. Eons ahead of you. Weak lame dickriders that you PMed on twitter voted for you to secure the victory

I put on a good soundtrack and I just write. Then refine from there. But, in a way I kind of freestyle my writing. My freestyling process is one of spontaneity and transcendence, where one has to transcend thinking in many ways helps dictate my writing. Of course, what helps is also reading, reading, and reading. Nowadays, I'm a better emcee than I am a writer.

[Certain]

I masturbate.

[oats]

^^^in all seriousness, jerking off can be a huge help for me when I'm stressed by a deadline or just distracted in general. I always jerked before big tests and interviews, too.

mostly, I take my dog for a walk, talk things out with him while I'm walking, come back clean my desk and I'm good. I think better when I move around, on some transcendentalist shit. I also revise and rewrite a good bit, so once I get something on paper, even if it's not that good, it's not terribly difficult to get it to a reasonable quality with revision.

[Certain]

I was serious.

[oats]

Every time you write, @Certain?

[Certain]

If I'm at home and actually care about the thing I'm writing, which isn't always.

[Vulgar]

lol

So it looks like our topical careers all unanimously came to an end.

I thought it would be fun to host a short topical tourney dubbed "champions league"

where previous champions are only invited. I don't think you would qualify sadly, but the line up would be pretty sick.

I think pulling all champions would be too numerous, was considering taking end of season champs and final champs only. maybe champs who won multiple title defenses? Probably won't ever happen, point is at least someone is still active even if I'm not elite, I am from the old lore

[oats]

interesting. you ever get in the work jerk @Certain? Also, I'm sure @Bags wants to know, is this to porn or not?

[Vulgar]

I think Certain works from home, which puts it into context.

also this gives the alias Certain Serpent a whole new meaning.
