Why Flow Usually Trumps Substance...

[The Ghost of Freak]

#1 I like where this is going.

#2 Big fan of both @HandJob Alias and @Saxx , quite happy to have this conversation with yall.

#3 I have been stuck in LB limbo for many reasons for about a year now. I am A. Not quite a vet, unless people want to suggest otherwise, but B. I am decent at rapping/battling.

Here is the problem, I am similarly inconsistent with delivery/flow, and am particularly guilty of the bad habit of writing good work and recording it way late at night/early morning/some inconvenient time when I am tired and sound like shit. When I am fully on with delivery (which is more rare than I would like) I kick butt and take names… particularly freestyling in LB tinychat.

Also, remember LB is like a really shitty stereotype of a public highschool's love child with a sausage fest… remember many members of your audience may not catch everything you put out there.

Here are 2 great examples for you two to specifically listen to and reflect upon (I sure did).

1. Tyco_RC v. Freek

http://www.letsbeef.com/battle_detai...n=lb&id=637077

-> Arguably just as good if not better bars, far worse delivery -> Wrote this quickly to flip his bars and prove that I can be a monster with a pen… then went a recorded it past midnight when I was tired, quiet (gf sleeping), and whiny (wanted to get it done and go to bed, so nobody else got the open before me).

2. Scheme Tourney -> Freek v. Final Word

Still not fully sure why I didn't win this one…. My delivery certainly was not at its best, but grrr…

WHAT DO YALL THINK?

no offense to Final but you did win that battle. Actually one of my favorite verses from you. I've def got robbed on important battles in the past. It's hard not to flip out. People on this site always tend to give it to the dude with more titles or recognition. If it's close then it's easier to just say the more liked emcee won.
