I agree with this, i don't want to be a rapper either, it's just something i have a huge intrest in, where your intrests may be go karting, football etc :)

Also, nice reply to EL i do agree speaking from your own expierences is much better as it shows you, rather then the so called 'wannabe'. Freestyles are an exception as we are all having a laugh, but if i do write something up i will make sure its from my life. :) I would actually like, and most probaly enjoy writing a 'rap' as to me, as mentioned before the best 'rap songs' are stories without that many ryming words going on. Would be fun, a new expierence.

You are a very talented poet by the way.

Thanks matey! :)

I'm actually a singer/songwriter for a living, in the rock/pop vain. I suppose it translates well in to this sort of thing. A lot of my actual song lyrics are quite poetic, although they are obviously completely different to the silly stuff i'm writing here. I tend to use a lot of imagery, metaphor and double-entendre which stems from poetry. I haven't sat down and written a real poem for a long time but needless to say, when I did, they hadly ever rhymed! :p

I actually had a poem published when I was 12. You can check it out here if you're interested:-

http://www.poetry.com/publications/display.asp?E=1&ID=P3368378&BN=999&PN=1

It's not particularly good, but I guess it wasn't bad for a 12 year old. :)

EDIT: Link is now fixed
 
That's a cool poem, my grandad was a poet (William Reilly) but he had to stop righting after losing most of his voice and power on one side (strokes)

He is very often featured in the Liverpool Echo and has been for about 30 years.

Poetry is a great thing, like i said i love rap music that is a story, not a ryming mad song. I will hopefully try something myself, my above diss to EL on audio was ok for my first freestyle, felt bent talking to a pc mic though :D

Whoops sorry I messed up with the link so I don't know what poem you ended up reading! I've fixed the link now, the correct poem should be called "The Stand". Like I said I was 12 at the time so don't be too hard on me. :p

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather having to stop writing. I would love to check out some of his stuff if he has any online. I always love reading poetry, whatever the style. I just have a love for words. :)

I haven't listened to your freestyle recording yet since its late and I don't want to wake anyone. I'll give it a listen tomorrow and let you know my thoughts. :)
 
So GordyR's advice is to stop pretending,
learn to get some flow, instead of just defending,
your pointless dribble and lack of flow,
arrogance, and ignorance are always in tow.

Take some advice, instead of just dismissing,
the point of some of these posts are clearly what you're missing.
You rap about gun's like they're your best friend,
when it's clear you're lying and still trying to pretend.
You think you're a ganster with a chip on your shoulder,
the truth is you're nothing and you need to grow older.

There's talk about gays and raving willy woofters,
why be so subtle? Just call 'em poofters!
Arcade's lyrics are usually pretty sound,
but we all know the truth when no one's around!
He bends over and takes it, like a man never should,
making lots of noise, like a woman only could.

GordyR's no better, but he'll never say,
he often likes to anchor - in poo bay.
Now i've stepped in after watchin' that list of Schindler,
hoping to have some comedy, where the hell's Mohinder?

Ah, i thought seeing your name as Arthur was incorrect :P

Anyway, cool poetry, by the way my freestyle, aint nothing special as when i do them i do actually 'free' so i say/write the first thing without hesitation. It's not that loud, listen to it if you can.

Anyway, all i have is my grandads first poem, which got him regonised in a park in Liverpool (or something :P)

The Angels of Aberfan


From the heavens above came down the rain
Bringing forth sorrow, heartaches and pain
Children at school on that fateful day
Unaware of the terror creeping their way
An ocean of black waste, a deluge of sludge
Came closer and closer, faster and faster
To Aberfan that day, came untold disaster
No one knows the reason why
Innocent children had to die
Gasping, gasping gasping for breath
Battling against a slow gradual death
Essential services who answered the call
Natural heroes one and all
Hour by hour with one thought in mind
Hoping to save the life of a child
Under a dislodged beam or an upturned desk
Lay the broken bodies, now at rest
Hands clasp as though in prayer
Mingled with blackboards or a scattered chair
With all the sorrow on our mind
Let’s not forget those that died
So n bended knees let’s offer a prayer
We know that they are watching from way up there
The Angels of Aberfan

Note: Elrazor... Some of us make no pretence about being rappers. I for one have never rapped or written a word to that effect in my life. It's just not me. What most of us are doing here is having a little fun with words and rhymes... More like simple poetry than rap and deliberately going for a comedy value all in the name of fun. There is no need to bash those of us who clearly couldn't care less.

As some constructive criticism I would suggest you try to write more from your own life and your own experiences rather than talking about guns and 'gansta' stuff. When I read something that has clearly come from the authors heart I can respect it greatly, be it rap, rock, pop or whatever. But your verses sound very fake to me. Use your writing as an expression of your emotions and experiences, i'm sure you are capable of much more than you have shown us.

Please don't take this the wrong way I am actually trying to be helpful here. Just don't try to be somone you're not and you will earn a lot more respect.


I really didnt want to get involved in this thread but this man speaks the truth :D

Its all about expression, personal experience, and heart felt emotion. Anyone can rhyme a few words, but its making people "feel" them that is the true gift imo. The only way people do that is by actually relating to them. If you write about guns, fast cars, or any other materialistic stuff etc. great. But it's no more than a catchy rap at best. If you write about something you went through, good or bad. Divorce, breakups, marridge, even stuff back at school, good memories, worst days, your 1st love, people will be able to relate to it on a real level.

There is a difference between being entertaining and being true. What's classed as entertaining changes from day to day and form person to person. The truth never wears out, and so your material won't date so much :)


EDIT: Oh **** Didn't realise it was this many pages when I clicked it lol. I'm only up to like page 4 or something lol. :p
 
what really got me miffed when i read through this thread
is that every normal sentence got rhymed up in my head
i was thinking of a way to get it normal as i read
and then i though "oh *** it", and toodled off to bed.

[apologies all round]

One of the best so far, read it thinking you were serious, turns out you are spitting, cool man
 
hi im new, and my name is trogdor
as you may well know i am the burninator

i am a dragon man, that's right, because i can breathe fire
i'm here to kill your gracious queen, and then you'll call me sire

i crawl the countryside, and no-one thinks im pleasant
you better get out my way, or i'll burn all you peasants

i'll pillage your village, steal your gold
and eat your young, till i grow old

please don't be surprised, if you poo your pants
it's all because to me, you're the size of ants

so run and hide and squeel like pigs, because im here to stay
im gonna flame you all, and Gordy R i think you're gay!

j/k :p
 
This thread started as a challenge - as in i believe anyone can do after a conversation.....
My first blast was more rhyme based/straight up picture of what i want
Hey yo this is El, ra-ta-ta ta-takk/ you know im back with a brand new rap attack/ i grab the mic like a pimp called the mac/my temp so hot i do nothing but melt the track/you read my views in here and you can tell im untochable cuz Dons can do no jack/ Maybe i love controversy like your average rapper loves Hennesey/ Cant you see i bet my money on chelsea not to win/......

Immediately i posted that, the thread got derailed, then from there it went onto people turining it into a battle and taking shots even though i asked for freestyle NOT BATTLING. See page 1 of the thread. Even after i explained AGAIN, people just carried on, so i went away for a while. Then when i came back, i saw my name in every freestyle posted so i thought i might as well do the battling thing with them.

Most of the thing i posted after that were deemed rubbish, it is there view and yeap they can hold on to it

Below are some of the rubbish apparently

I came in here with loads of respect
But this dudes, geeks and warriors gimme somthing i didnt expect
Gilly and mohinder all up in my face trying to disrespect
CBS with your thin veiled insult im more than happy to break your neck
but the dons dont wanna see that so i suggest you all keep in check
So in effect when next i open another thread, i demand respect.
Half of the warriors in here aint got no skillz
Mohinder please, you are a bald ginger trying to be ill
I suggest you go pop some pills so as to get your thrills
How many kills can you make with your spit drills
The abulity to freestyle is exclusive like house of beverly hills
.....El im out...No im back
I microwave suckers in millseconds
Dont bother or try to reckon
I do this like gone in 60 seconds.

Now from my second freestyle, i think anyone can easily lay out what im about. i rhyme words and im straight up.

I represent the new breed of O C U K
60% of you cant even me like madam Bouqet
The rest have no style no substance but just a cliche
Hence i put you where i want, on the shelf like a dummy display
El's got you guys in check, holding you still like your favourite hair spray

Im ok im all right and im doing good
My style my flow is not from the hood
Yet most things is i say is completely misunderstood
Seriously i hate to brag, but you know im good
If my dick was a gun i would be El Eastwood
But here am i eating them like sea food

All you warriors watching, trying to have a go, my advice is never bus' a rhyme
Until you are sure you can come correct in real time

The same method i used here, yet im completely written off.



I dont know what you came here for
You aint half as strong, you are drunk and wearing your mother's thong
Some one better tell this dude before i crack his jaw
I studied your rhyme but it is filled with flaws
You need to go back home and practice more
One word to describe your rap - it is a bore and im starting to snore
The difference between me and you
My rap is a blessing while yours is uterly depressing
Yeah you know it so i suggest you start confesing
You dont bring a knife to gun fight
So go back home and get it all tight.

This one is against chris R, i kinda liked it, it fills me with rage when im saying it. Dont know why!!


The whole point of battle rap is to take rhyme and word to new heights
This i can do without hesitation any time day or dark night
I was on the sideline when you dragged me into the ring
Now i pounced on you and flingbang you just to show you im the real king
This king aint even wearing no bling just straight linguistic string
Now your cry for help is falling on deaf ears
Watch YOUR supporters as they give me the cheers
When i look in the mirror i see me, i see elrazur
But what do you see? you see something that cut faster than a laser.

When next you wanna battle, make sure it aint me.
Another picture painted here with simple words but they just dont like it.


How can you win when i have the crown
what? the simile on your face is turning into a frown
Come on man you can do that, cuz you are the clown

Now im steeping out of the door
let me see you get the mop and clean the floor
That's what you get for steeping up to someone bigger than you
Now bow down and kiss the ring.

This was one of the short one as im starting to get bored! But i still find it funny.

Tried and Tested and the next thing that comes to mind is the word detested
it is clear with your views you are totally defected
To one side of the forum who thinks this style is whack
This is the real guiness and it is totally black
Im not even gonna rhyme the next word with jack
But if you wanna battle just say so.

This is for someone i dont think he even deserve a reply.



Anyway GodyR i do hear what you are saying but when im inthe mood to freestyle so to speak, i can string rhymes faster than a boeing 77 in flight, i put my punchlines as you can see and i tend to paint a picture just the way it should be. I only see myself not using metaphors but im trying to incooperate that into my freestyle.
Watch most freestyle battle in real life, people keep it simple and entertaining, and that's some of the verses i dropped have been doing. :)
Im off to the library now, you draw the first blood and im coming back to murder you in cold bloodied lyrics.

PS
Those who says im doing gangsta...erm, im freestyling here so any subject matter goes but since this is ocuk maybe different sort of rules apply, what makes anyone think i havent hold guns here before?, im not claiming to be a gangsta either..... You dont know me and i wont say more than that.
My style is simple, entertaining yet filled the rage....do the maths!
 
The problem is you say you're Freestyling but delivery is all-important with Freestyling, and you're putting it into written form, so it needs to be better.

If you were doing recordings you might have a bit more respect for what you're doing.
 
ElRazur, this is not a personal dig at all, but you have a seriously inflated opinion of yourself as a rapper/freestyler. As Gilly said, perhaps it would come across better if you recorded it, but in written form your raps come across very poorly. I've much prefered the ones from GordyR that I've read in here.

I liked Belmits one the best! I'm gonna rate 5 stars to the thread. 2.5 for Belmits Gentleman Rapper, and the other 2.5 for gordy.

El, you get none because you say you can freestyle, but you neglected to record anything, and now you've had too much time to practice and learn stuff anyway, so even if you DO record it, it possibly won't be freestyling.

Oh the vogonity of it all.

Carry on lads, let's see some more rapping from GordyR, Arcade Fire, Belmit, Mohinder, Gilly...and where's Sic?

*waves*

i try to stay out of ElRazur's threads...can't believe i've missed all this. i skipped page 4 and 5 so i havent seen Belmit and only 1 Arcade Fire, but you guys are awesome! you're so great i had to text Gilly and Mohinder - i couldn't even avoid it!!

ElRazur; you think you gots talent, you're so much mistaken
There's more rap talent in Danepak fried bacon
You go on about cars, gold and guns
But you gotta know, i'll smack you up for fun
Getting whooped by white-geek-boys; now that's gotta hurt
So think how you'll feel with your face in the dirt
