originality in my book kills anything..but definitly the depth as well..imagery is always good so the reader can depict the story better...and story goes along the lines of originality...some people aren't original no matter how hard they try...takes an autistic mind to really capture insanity in a piece...

I say, that imagery and originality are important, but without the delivery and the right expansion of words, it wont be good.

dont use a thesausas, a gud way to expand is use slang sometimes. or subsitute words for words, making it seem like your telling the story from your view.

imagery...originality....flips in the story...and word play all crucial parts to a topical ...in some pieces maybe not word play so much but it all helps to make a dope piece

<---got a 29 on his ACT's....uses the big words and doesn't have to look them up! Only when I'm arguing/debating though. Who the fuck wants to talk like that all the time?

Sorry, forgot to reply to the topic. Imagery...orginality....a fresh concept on the topic. One that isn't predictable. Something no one else could think of.

It needs to flow, have internals and multi's, portray the topic using imagery and emotion, have a good writers voice and word choice placed behind it.
