Wordplay.
On a serious note.
- Do you think there's a limitation?
- Does your "connection" have to be within reason?
- In other words, is it possible to be too far-fetched?
- If so, then where do you draw the line?
- Do you take into account accents when you read a verse? (Not just accents that vary across America, but British accents and other International accents too)
- Does your wordplay in a text verse have to be transferable to an audio verse?
- Is it ok to use played wordplays if they're a part of a bigger wordplay? (eg: using the likes of in bread/inbred as a part of a more complex play like Sicily view/sis'll leave you, etc)
- Is it better to be complex, or simplistic? (no inbetweens)
Discuss.

Yeah, I don't know who you're talking about but maybe his material sounds fine to him? perhaps he's foreign? maybe it's beyond the grasp of the general intellect of the site?
It's a divisive subject.

I don't know who you talking about so I don't know what you're tryna say. Is it the wordplay or just a bad use of the english language?
anyway, I just read some thread about some dude tryna rhyme flood with good. This kinda falls under the same category of pronunciation/accents.
