im thinkin that verbally freestylin is like my only way of life these days... but when i see a keystyle or try it... well it's kind of a lame 2nd best...

Does anybody agree that we should just call it pre written text verses...

A. cuz it's debatable how off da tip a "keystyle" is
and B. there are a bunch of wack liars who pretend their hours of work are "keystyles"

holla back y'all

{Peace}

damn gd thread...

i agree wit wot ya sayin
they claim its a keystyle but it never is......

it makes em look better

^^lmao.....true also

it is a stereotype now....its jus given tha name keystyle even if it isnt

When i keystyle, i write down, what pops in to my head.. w/ out changing my lines afterword.. =)..so yea i keystyle. same as freestyle only with keys o.O..when i pre write, i re read my verse & edit things in or out .. i think thats the diff between keysyle & a prewrittin

and then where does the line get drawn?

I don't think ahead when I'm freestylin...you dont' have time. If anyone says they do, they're a damn liar...or not really a freestyler.

Keystyling is called keystyling for a reason. There's no way you can type a verse on the I-net as fast as you can freestyle. Freestyle's you have material to work off of standing directly in front of you. Keystyle's you gotta remember shit that's happened earlier, of course you do have their sig/custom title/posts in thread/avatar/location to work with. It all depends really. I do the majority of my verses in 10-15 mins. As I told Chrit last night...one verse took me an hour...but I was typing a Psych paper at the same time.

keystyle and freestyle are too different.....
when ya doin live freestylin'......thats wen ya say wot pops into ya head...
keystyle can b changd even if ya say ya dnt change it...

whereas live battlin' n rhymin is pure........straight off tha top......

Word yo....My fingers have a mind of their own... Yeaaaa

Nobody keystyles...it's just a moronic word that some net/textcee made up to try and make text more like audio.

When I see "Keystyle" in the title of an Open Mic I never read it.

i keystyle like a motherlover

I think it's fair to say.. that almost everyone..
Writes somethin down quick.. but reads it afterwards & makes a few adjustments..

all i do is keystyle


i cant stand spending more than 10 min on a piece

KEYSTYLE= Real, just typin of the dome rhyme for rhyme....it possible. it may b wack but watch

"i keystyle while typin on keyboards, mc better stop hating before they get washed up more than a seashore, this aint tight, its just type, saying keystylin is fake just aint "write""-20 seconds


then thers always the fact that they can delete/erase or edit it whenever they want. but same as freestyles....it could prewritten or rehearsed acting like its coming off the dome


keystyles and freestyles......just gotta trust them or decide for yourself if its legit

Obviously we have some people who agree with me...

I don't think "textcee's" or "keystylers" are as credible as rappers...

How do you know that your flow is going to be read correctly?
I used to post a bit of stuff on this forum, but it didn't make sense after awhile cuz nobody could hear how it sounds...

this is why real emcees are successful and people buy cds... nobody gives much cred to the text rappers or is running out to buy their books...

...unless...

you count poets and poetry anthologies, that is the area some of the 'textcees" should be focusing on...
