im going to invest and watch over me and my friends
and i know about seeing shit correct like i had a clean lense and you know i can film this as if it was a movie your all just actors in my universal studio and its all about money im drawing auditions for those fighting to survive inflation people be intimidated these days its like im looking at a reflection cuz just like the oceans the colour of the water isn't natural its just the blue sky that makes it look blue and just like collateral im using this for my midnight riders where nothing survives without sunlight im like a tribe trying to cover a bee gees song since my shit so tight gonna find the nugget inside this information because its like folgers because im digging in the roots and building dams like i was an otter since its funny how every person needs 3 meals a day there cant possibly be enough food to supply everyone with a plate and im unsure why its so difficult to create a company name and symbol and its a gamble but im making money off this as if it was a cows nipple im trying to decide what else im forgetting because i constantly counting sheep but never fall asleep if you headed upstream then turn left and hit a creek im unsure but you think its demeaning and my posture isn't correct but you aint learn and like women they aint like being treated like objects theres all these shapes and sizes to address i cant always supply the stamps but inside this fixture you can tell that im lighting the passage with lamps but just like a cramp im pulling ya muscles and ripping out ya tissue and im like a diamond in the rough something that's warm inside like igloos you like Indians they need there own settlements and call them reservations and they hate feathers used on baseball teams because they claim its racist they say you don't use a cross or crucifix on any of the professional teams and its the same thing because everything they represent is holy to their beliefs and i aint on no scientifical level but i still run with a hard crew since its like murphys law everything came to life u thought wasn't true ive said enough wrap this up like the Dave Chappelle show its like the probability of the baker not rising and forgetting to bake the dough 32...... match........

At first its for that ecstacy, shared with everyone next to me
Thirst for the treasure as we stare at the board expecting destiny In a state of broken reverie as the system exits me to gloom Memory of what could of been, hoplessness and agony consume Im twisting as my stomach is turning, my ears are burning Whispering a quiver as my lips slither out a yelp, a puppet thats hurting Im concerning my kids as i scour my pockets for hits Instead of coins i have fluffy inconsolable bits that are the exact value of shit If your going through hell keep going..... Winston Churchill I leap for my card and dart for the nearest cash machine Past clarity i push through the mass of dilluded dreams I seem to think i can make it back if i only play again Overdraft.... no worries ill win and wont worry til then The same extactic feeling washes over my mind and body An amazing automatic switch to elation from sighs of worry Then the haze lifts as the signs signal cash or bust and crash is must Its a feeling of lust cus i still want to return despite the deepest of cuts Ill feed my addiction with the banks money until i have to steal An infliction to never learn better, cuts may scar deep but the skin will heal Tell me im wrong but i bet im right |

2K - I wish for one week you would just take your time and come up with a plotline rather than writing your stuff the second you see the image. You had a couple of ideas in here but typos, simplistic rhyming and left field similes brought it all down. If you're going to have comparisons, similes and metaphors, have them to do with an image or the topic. Don't compare business to The Chappelle Show. You've got some opportunities in there but I think you just throw everything out too quickly and it comes off way too underdeveloped.
Flo Real - A small piece but I really enjoyed it. I really like pieces that are sure of themselves and this definitely was. I picked up on the subject matter just a little bit into the second stanza and was begging that you wouldn't finish it off with "blah blah blah my gambling addiction". You did a great job keeping it subtle and it's a very interesting and original twist on a picture that could have gotten very generic very fast. I liked the little end part. Even though you put it across in a simple way, I felt like a couple of people might miss the subtleties so you allowed me to feel like I'm "in the loop" and will the notice comments like "I bet I will". Good piece, enjoyed reading it, looking forward to your next one. MVGT - Flo Real.

MVGT; 2triple0
Always fascinating in it's simple mindedness - 2triple0 is one of the deeper writers in AOWL history. Sure; his material may come off as amatuerish to some, but for me personally - I am always puzzled at the perplexity of his off kilter off beat. He is the golden era old school Newbie; reminiscent of the late great Nasif. Flo Real was O.K if I am being polite; which I don't really deem necessary. The rhymes and content in general were merely way too basic for my liking. If Flo Real wrote this in 15 minutes, I would still be highly disappointed by the lack of effort. The highlight of Flo Reals submission this week was his font and centering. MVGT; 2triple0

I liked the 3 meals a day / plate line, that was cool. Besides a few lines, this seems very sporadic / not relating to the topic. I feel you're using a bunch of similes that don't necessarily improve the piece as a whole. I laughed out loud when I saw the like a cramp line, like- What the hell was that doing in this verse? You're a trooper though. You don't get discouraged and you keep writing. Not the best verse I've seen from you, not the worse either. I feel like you need to better conceptualize everything. I also hate giving advice because there's times I don't follow my own advice, so yeah.. Anyways, I think you should cut the fat on your bars, there's a lot of 'ands' 'buts' etc that would make things sound a little smoother. I just don't really understand how this related to the topic. Sorry. Quote:
If 2000 would have had a verse more directed towards the topic, I think he would have got this match. Maybe I just don't understand it, I don't know. But, for that reason, Im'a have to vote for vFlo Real |

triple's shit felt a bit jumbled to me. I liked flo real's better simply for the fact that it was more coherent and had a cool vibe to it. Triple had some cool shit going but not enough to take the dub. Both couldve connected to the topic a bit better.

PP...
I have no idea what you had going on here, it just came across weird some of it was nice but a majority of it just had me waiting for the journey to end you have more shining moments but the random thoughts pouring out take away most praise I find myself doing this on and off when it comes to your week by week performance I'd suggest a break, maybe take a moment to experience life & return with knowledge either way I found a majority of your ideas to work and not work, at least you showed... Flo, I'm enthused by your work this is a switch up from last weeks performance you really showed your ability to be versatile & work to your topic to the best of your ability it's easy to hang onto every word due to hit being a quick read, yet its effective you draw on different elements to make the piece become more well rounded... v/I feel as though Flo swept PP in all categories while having the better showing PP came with some decent ideas, I wish he would have taken a moment out to touch up some lines chop down a sentence or two or 7 allowing yourself to showcase your stronger points Flo kept it to a mere paragraph & a half it seemed like, the concept just flowed well nice battle though, 2000 puttin' in more work it looks like..
