ok that's a good example of what I'm talking about - just using wordplay from the context of the punch. Maybe most peeps don't read into it, but I do. And yeah ok I admit I like that line, but perhaps best line ever? ROFL, you haven't seen much then. Yeah ok that one IS somewhat effective, but wordplay that uses part-sentences and works both ways is generally dope IMO, but as you say, you CAN do some cool stuff with simpler wordplay.
I always liked this one from DTH:
Can ya stand up to me when I'm coming for the kill?
Yeah sure, you can hold your own....dick, since no one else will
it was worded different but that's the gist of it, wordplay like that working both ways is cooler IMO.
Although I do use the other type as well sometimes, like in the tag tourney:
Damn cheater, I'ma putt ya in ya place and club ya down the stairway
Ya worse than wack golfers, your strikes never hit the fairway
but see mainly in the setup with the putt and club being wordplay from the context of the punch which is golf. In the 2nd line I used the 2nd type of wordplay which works both ways, cos it's doper
