Question to Topical writers
 
why does every damn topical have to eand with a death or suicide??? every story song has death at the end... why is this... even when i write my own shit, i sometimes end it with death, but lately i have been tryin to move from that... but im just wondering why...

Because...It helps put a twist to a story to make it more interesting.

Mental God 10-07-03 10:43 PM

but everyone does it... so it doesnt twist anything cause you know what is gonna happen

^I've never had one topical rap end in death.

Well Not Really.
It Depends On How You Build Up Your Story Character.
If you Know So And So Has this Good Personality
But ends up committing suicide, it adds an element of surprise.
But I See what Your Saying, As You seem to grw older, Stories seem to become somewhat of tragedies, because maybe maturing or, a current time in your life, where something is changing, and it is a serious issue.

Now that I think about it though...about 25% of my Topical Writtens end with someone turnin on their friends and killing them....maybe it's cuz of bein backstabbed one too many times. A good question for my General Psych Teacher.

'cause it's become the freakin' cliché : Self-induced Depression. PREACH!

Umm...Only the Newbies to that continuely.

And Ill-Mental, sorry to break your brain but Death is second most portraid life experience, following Love.

There are not that many genre's. Love, Death, Hate, Pride, Etc.

Maybe if you read more you would know more about how this type of thing works.

It doesn't matter twist wise. To make a nice twist you can used a PLLAAYYEEDD ass concept as the ending and simply express it in a way that no one has ever thought about. But yea death is the biggest twist to a story. It's the shock effect of it hence why people over-abuse it.

Because ninety percent of Hip-Hop heads were goths who listened to too much Manson and Type O Negative.

That, or there are a lot of uncreative people who think they are somehow unique.

Then again, just because it SEEMS like everyone elses, doesn't mean it is. It could be very much like everyone elses and still be unique. Suicide song by Sole comes to mind.

Then again... we all want to die.

Im not sure, but ive noticed that too...Death or suicide, and it is becuz everyones lookin for that twist..problem is, the ending is so played now, theres no twist..New shit needs to be unveiled!

^^^ you are one ignorant mother fucker... I know there aren't that many geners, but it doesnt have to end in death EVERY time. Im sayin end a story with a happy ending once in a while. It gets boring to read about death all the time. And im talking about the topicals that are stories about someone. "Billy was a good boy, he was very happy... Then he killed himself" come on, you can think of a better story. I realized this when I wrote my last topical. I got to the end and thought, why does every story like this end in death? So i left it open to the reader, and now i have been writing some more and i realize that i dont want to write about death all the time. Im sayin change up the endings once in a while, this goes for me too... I was just tryin to make some other people think too, but some people are assholes

Cuz Death Is Fun To Write About.
People Enjoy Writing About The
Dark Side Of People, And Shit.

Mental God 10-08-03 02:24 AM

Sureal 10-08-03 02:38 AM
