Time to pop the cork and get it going.
@OG Maestro I appreciate you for leaving all this feed back
This dude ain't the only one giving mad feedback lol.
tomorrow I will be going through and checking for links.
please get them or I will close it up until you do.
I got links for days.
@Cracka , finished your feed. Sorry it got cut in half.
I feel as though OG does not appreciate the art of flex bars or dropping just to drop without having a picture or story
Flex bars sell more records than "topicals" ever would. I'd rather see someone speak from themselves - even if they're just hyping themselves up - than read fairytales or conceptual pieces if I'm honest. The beauty of rap (and text is rap lyrics if you do it right) is that it doesn't require years of musical training to be good, it gives a musical voice to those who usually wouldn't have one. The best shit whether text or musical is always the shit which comes from the heart not the head imo.
I ove flex pieces as well, I like the deeper shit where people use pictures and stuff to, I htink people get to deep into it somethmes though and think that if you write a flex piece its not as creative or articulate as the other type of piece. which is completely wrong. BUt i am also a big fan if disses lol
Whaaaat, nigga you CRAZY. That just made me wanna release a flex verse. and imma take ya name and put it as the title just for you.

nah but all jokes aside. i do appreciate it. but i have expectations for flex pieces. i'll show you how i expect it when i post some shit today. i'll even tag you so you get the exclusive notification on it being dropped.

And flex vs. deep pieces is a false argument. art is art in my opinion. I've released like 5-6 disses in OM, they all get 500+ views off the first page alone. and my flex pieces are typically underrated.
in fact, i could make an argument against flex selling more than deep pieces. let's keep this relative to RB, for the sake of an example, right?
So, I got 4 HOF nominations, 3 HOF's. All for deep pieces with topics.
Do yall know, I've never seen a flex piece get HOF throughout all the different OM mod eras? idk. might be a sign that they are not where the money is. Money = success in viewership and accolades.
I remember when I first came to rb, you would get a warning or banned form om for dropping disses in it me and another dude rallied against it and anoyyed the shit out of smoka until he made the dude who run om change that stupid fucking rule...and no one nominates flex pieces because they think it takes less skill to write which is also false.
Well where's the lyrical text heads at to change this? @joog'n @...Celph Taut @Witty @Amen
It's like yall (not yall specifically but the community as a whole) have disagreements with how things are but forget that yall are a part of the community that causes that disagreement. every time I come on RB, it's Emily, some subpar topical writer, a poet, or Dagel nominating pieces. And you can't judge them, cause they just doing what they feel is cool and justified. But, then it's like...that 'crowd' (using that term loosely, u feel me) only nominates a specific type of piece. And overtime you won't have diversity. it's gon be the same shit gettin recognition.
so if flex pieces aint gettin no love, people gon stop writing em. and then we'll be talking about it like we are right now.
