Everything I dislike in a piece, all in one spot!
You think I'm trolling but I think pieces such as this are horrible. Just pseudo intellectual pompous bullshit drivel. |

I wasnt criticizing, just noting that you rarely seem to put personal aspects/ emotions in your drops, which i think would humanize your philosophy

The rhyming obviously is outstanding, and a lot of the lines stand out. But the lack of concrete details does open you up to criticism such as that of Split Eight and PancakeBrah. You dance around the real emotions of the piece in a way that feels scientifically removed. It's a prime example of telling rather than showing.
Your talent is immense, but your touch could use some work if it's going to match it.

I unno I always enjoy ur sht
its like concious/intellectually dope to me i like ur word affiliation (boat/ship) and use of homonyms (pride/pried) to drive ur point i hear what some ppl are saying about informative vs emotion, but in all honesty i feel the tone works bc its structured like a possible buisness letter (lol) like a memo of sorts. but word, the lions den/tireless/hovercraft was the standout among a bunch of other dopeness. Conceptually i feel u had at least one dope idea in each stanza tho, and nothing was overly complex that it would go over heads, but still spoke on pretty complex ideas...So u did a good job with that, and flow wise this was on point. I enjoyed this bro. |

good looks @ all of you guys - it's solid feedback. makes sense, and i will experiment with having the more emotional/personal touch to my drops for sure.
for what its worth, when i bring up the difference b/w PR and here in feedback terms - the reverse happens to some of my drops too (better feedback here than PR), i think there is something to be gained from BOTH -- but definitely two clear preferences on each but again, good looks ya'll. i was starting to get into a mode of extremes between straight-up-diss and super-technical-topical. tried to pay more homage to the flow in this, but i'll definitely experiment with the more emotional/personal touch yo. 'preciated.

Nice. It looked complex to me. though, i didn't stress myself trying to get what this piece is all about... But i was able to pick some usefull, intelligent, hidden, ideal info in some lines.
Your rhyme scheme was superb. Nice diction with flow (like u said:)u spent time on it). All in All, it looked poetic. Its a resourceful masterpiece for ideas. You wrote this in 2010 ??

whattup namix. i think the written style i see you're with equipped with... you've refined over many a year. i can appreciate its ostensible simplicity but deceptive depth... treading shallow waters then realising you can't swim. but yo, i haven't read a lot from you, but what i have is similar. re-purposed proverbs. proverbially... put in some pinches of your personal philosophy, sell it to the reader with a nursery rhyme rhythm. you're good at what you do, would like to see you just go nuts and experiment. not a flex, i mean you can if you want, but it gets to the point your verses familiarity feels predictable. you got skills, let them dictate to you instead of dictating to them. know what i mean? idk what i mean. just write.
the bottom line is the kinda mind, not the kinda rhyme. pz namix. |

So am reading this again, but with the voice of George the poet, mentally vocalising it in form of spoken poetry. 3yrs after and am mentally better equipped to resonate with your poetic write up and appreciate your ingenious creativity with respect to the "rhythmic ryhme interlude" (see! I just christened the words made in bold.) Howbeit so I wrote with a similar pattern last year,but mine was a repetitive format.
its just feels like a skill employed by poets who dig deep into their works. i envy your pen sire. Keep it bleeding.
