Yeah, I agree with that. But, what I meant about flipping a decent concept to make it nice... I meant coming up with the concept in your head and flipping it, despite the fact that you know it has probably been used before.
Its like lines where you say one thing, and then flip it around to use it as a means of saying you are going to hurt someone or something. Mimesis is one who uses them kind of punches well.
Example:
I'm the narrator to your death, and dude your life is gone..
But I won't tell you one story. . I'll just push you off of one.
and...
This dude is dope, but his bitch ass will still feel the slaughter,
Cuz he was only a legend amongst his peers. .
. .until I dropped him in the water.
Same idea, you use one thing and then turn it around on a person. The basic concept is always the same, but there is so many ways you can flip it.
