Topical Battles
You know what I've noticed about topical battles? Most people on this site prefer a topic where they can be "deep"... Then they use a bunch of big words. Truthfully, reading topical battles on this site is like punishment... They fucking suck... There are about 5 people on this site that are actually skilled at topicals and i dont mind reading. And most of the "topical vets" are the worst... I mean, maybe their shit is deep and has good vocab and what not. But who the fuck wants to read that shit???

I made a good topical once, but LRI is long gone so the proof is no more.

The art is finding a good balance concerning your vocab, expressing everything in a vivid way with raw emotion...Well, that's what I like in a topical...But some are indeed quite boring, depends on topic and approach though...

You read the battle between Copywrite and final didn't you? Honestly I think I'm aight at them. I try to put in a story line or something different so it is different and interesting to read. Anx, who are the people you don't mind reading?

theres multiple ways to write topicals.
1. Single form: basically writing a song, no hook...a chorus, and those usually feature another. 2. Emotional form: the type you see with intellectual vocab, these topics are the deep ones, the psychological, the complex, their more feelings than a tale. 3. Storyboard form: the most common used topical, this is the topic you write a story line, try and relate it with personal events, attempt to use your knowledge to explain something that hasnt really happened to you. those are the three forms ive seen here. theres others... Conversation form: ...like an interview sort of verse. others i guess. * but vocab i think is just like a theosaurus. in the sense, your just trying to use other words than the average expression. example: freed = liberated calm = whelmed truthful = candid looks = appearance * but then theres always those who have a large word every other word. (too extreem) who else has ideas? peace. I WANNA SEE LINKS. BRING EM. |

What you tryin to say? confused? Well alot of the ppl from L.R.I. are gone, and only a few became good, and only a few r still here |
I hate when people overly use vocab.
Its stupid,text rap is still rap,and nobody uses those words in audio. So don't use them here.Seriously,don't use wack words, but don't use fuckin words that are only used by God. Its fuckin annoyin,and people actually vote for those people just due to the fact,they don't understand them.What the fuck? |
I disagree...topicals are great ways of getting shit out. Its basically a song lyric battle...and whats so bad about that?
|
^^^^^^ Omfg Exactly.
Directed at Indeph... |

Huh? Lol..I didn't say anything opposed to topicals..I'm a topical head. Just hate when people overly use vocab. |
yeah.. i hate reading a topical thats like.. a billion huge words and no emotion and no imagery.. its gay.. cause i wanna hear how u feel.. and get into the story.. and by usin words i dont even know... doesnt help.. i vote against people everytime who over use vocab... because u dont hear people in audio's using those words so its senseless.. and sounds like garbage...
|
o yah and eph i just read ur verse against 9th degree.. they were fake personals.. he never posted his pic.. he is not fat.. and he is not white.. lol

Quote:
No I agree with you...people use WAY to much vocab. But I disagree with the thread...haha... |
Oh Lol...I was all "LE disagreed with me,I'm so wack" *wipes tears*
|
Lmfao............
|
9th Degree is white.
|
look at copywrites verse in my battle with him...talk about 100% vocab but lacked everything else...and i bet you hes gonna get votes cuz of vocab
i guarentee mad people on this site automatically see a verse with extreme vocab and they say...oh hes dope im voting for him i cant stand that fucking shit people dont know how to vote |
It's like I said, you have to find the right balance between complex and basic, it's all about finding the right words to express the emotion. Good vocab can be an add-on if it suits what you're trying to say because you can't keep it too simple either.
Maybe I'm not the one to talk since I started topicals just recently but I prefer reading a strong emotional drop with the suitable vocabulary... DQ |
I could drop topical's, but I rarely feel like it.
& yes, most of the topical head's on this site suck. Because they use too much vocab...Which is gay. |
and discovering those who are the best, wouldnt be so diffucult if members of the ingenius league stop no showing.

*wants to battle anxiety in a topical*
|
you poeple have a formula for writing topicals? I just write whatever I think of.
Anxiety is this thread directed at me? I hope not. |
* battled anxiety in a T, but he didnt show.*
|
i prefer a deep topic, has a true meaning, but i will only write on something i actually give a shit about,
otherwise i do descriptive topical battles pz |
I dont agree.... allot are skilled....but yea those large words and shit...
|
Why would this thread be directed at you Chase?
This sites topicals are just far too annoying to read. |
I write rap songs when I do topicals, I dont bullshit around trying to make my vocab huge or nothing stupid like that.. Its the substance in the lyrics that makes a topical dope.
Remember that. |
