Concepts vs Punches
 

I would say just from reading people pay more attention to the concepts & not the punches...it seems like people's concepts are funnier or sting harder than their actually punches

Lemme break it down...

funny concept + unfunny object punch = average bar (average battle w/ long schemes)

In an ideal situation wouldn't you want?

funny concept + funny punch = crazy bar

or

good concept + punch w/ sting = good bar

Fuck it...in my next battle I'ma show y'all if you don't get it -I'ma take it to the next level

i agree with u bud, sometimes a funny concept just isnt enough although i do find it the most important part of a bar

So RULE you still gon call yourself PLK? or is it gon be CK now?

Your move motherfucka...

ye but sometimes folk focus TOO MUCH on the concept and lose the flow, like one good concept wit a beefed up flow is gonna make me go "damn" before a bunch of good concepts mashed together in a choppy flow does ya know?

Super-Heavyweight tho...

concept is just a punchline that hasnt been worded yet in my book

also here from how alot of my battles have been voted on text wise it's all bout the setup multies which is fucken stupid

Agree ....

Agree!

A concept can be a punch but if a concept is followed by the word "like" it's not a punch it's a setup

Like is a simile...a comparison indicator

Anything that follows like is supposed to be a damn punch...not some unfunny ass creative object

& that's my whole point

I agree Spook, I think a lot of people have this completely ass backwards.

Your concept should build to the punch. Although a concept can be dope on it's own if it's worded well, too many people (I've been guilty of this in the past) drag out a cool concept to the point where it becomes a wasted bar.

A lot of it is down to lazy editing and people letting egos dictate verses, rather than being self-critical, sacrificing impact for nothing more than a neat idea.
