Rap hastily

BigVirge said:Have to say Mary, according to your criteria, I feel somewhat overlooked, wonder why ?

Hmmmm ..... It's cool, subjective rather than objective is how these comps tend to run, but, props to the winners, it is what it is, in the end it's all fun right ???

So, come on then Typhoid, as you chose to set this up, i'm interested to know who your top five emcees are ?

If I had to hand out additional honorable mentions, it would be to Austin Rura and Dresdamanx. Their raps had relatively unimpeded flow from start to finish, plenty of rhymes in all the right places and tight on content.

Hardallover, despite what he says, had something hardcore going that he abandoned shortly after it started. Had he followed through with it and taking into consideration current events, could have knocked Loki down into a runner up spot. I saw the potential, but he obviously didn't and now it is removed obviously out of some ill conceived protest.

BigVirge, I feel yours was weakened  by
1) over reliance on vulgarities that lacked impact
2) some lines were too comical to reconcile with other lines posing serious subject matter, throwing the overall slag n diss out of balance
3) going to the well too often with variations of the word lyric

Now Now, i'm entitled to share what I deem to be relevant .... it's hardly trolling !!!!!

Was just sharing is all, actually, because I recently posted the piece on my site, within the last few days, so, seemed reasonable to me to do ....


and Rap Hastily hardly indicates a requirement for heavily thought out and structured, Respectful, sets of words ....

"Fast & Furious" .... you said !

Not that it matters now, but, I dealt in that, and, vulgarities, says the one who started with talk of mans' ass hurting him ... OKAY ... smh

I linked to where you started and took it from there is all, comical, hmm, that's rare for me, and I like a bit of humour in a good freestyle, can't always be serious !!!

.... and I am, Very Serious, for the most part, with most of my considered constructions,

Balance ... damn, you really like to over-analyse something as subjective as ... a again, supposedly, fast and furious freestyle, but I get ya .....

It's all good and done and dusted ....

Got my shameless advert in at least !

and, top five Hip Hop artists, did that part of my question fail to register ???

Part of the joy in judging a comp is being able to reward writers for the noteworthy construction and effort that goes into their labors. There is a lot to learn from reading and analyzing the works of others.

I'm not a big hip hop fan ( though I will confess to penning several raps under another account here ).

I will just leave you with my all time favorite rendition of Bring The Noise by Public Enemy and Anthrax.
