    i got a question....as far as text battles what the ? do yall define "flow" as? I be thinking its like poetic meter and rhyme structure but obviously that aint what everybody thinks it is as i see people get commended for having a "good flow" and the bars be choppy and mismatched as hell.....somebody hip me to this please..

    shouldn't it be the same as if you're reading the lyrics to a song?
    like

    "Sick sick dreams of picnic scenes, two kids, sixteen
    with M-16's and ten clips each
    And them ? reach through six kids each
    And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint's speech to fix these streets?"

    well that's jus my opinion tho

    "Make ends they hate you, be broke girls won't date you
    That's why I relate to, choke your ass 'til your face blue, make you
    Open the safe too
    No matter how you call it (how you call it)
    This "bralick", alcoholic
    Like his weed green'd out like his brick solid
    Distribute to kids who, take heart like Valentine, drink Valentine, all the time
    Slugs hit you chest tap the spine
    Flat-line
    Heard through the grapevine, you got ? foe times
    Damn that three to nine, ? you up for real doe'
    "Slink steal slow"
    As you remorse we feel no"

    is another example of flow that looks good in text, I think it lies in if they use punctuation so you'll know when to pause and you'll get the flow they were thinkin of

    I have seen verses like yours and ones that look even more complex...I always have to read raw materals verses twice.
    Your verse was a similar structure but I got it in one read...the only reason I would say something against the style is
    every line was "set up/punch, set up/punch" each bar wasn't random but there was something missing...IMO
    I'll guess your gripe is with what I posted and you not seeing the reason for some comments...I would say my style is in between
    what your looking for and a regular 123 like fazem's style if you read it the flow is there
    I think there is three lines where the bar ends without rhyming with the first line and the off word ends up rhyming in the middle of the next line
    the reason it looks mismatch...I feel u. I can't speak for others but, it's my style of writing and u don't like it...my bad

    I know what you mean. Flow should not be considered in a text battle. But I think wording should. For example, someone should lose points for posting garbage like this:

    Your mom is fat/
    BC when I look at her, I notice her big legs, big stomach, three chins, but I don't notice her ankles or her neck, what's up with that?/~

    ^^ That's trash BC the lines are very uneven and lazily written.

    Before the judges began to vote, I told them to concentrate on punches, creativity, metaphors and maybe 5% on multis but for the most part, I feel like they are knowledgeable enough to distinguish between a good verse and a great verse. Tell you what, if anyone gets a vote they don't understand or agree with, I can ask the voters to explain a little more.

    On that tip go ask those that judged in BCO VS Judah to explain what about the "Flow" they liked because the ? looked garbage from one of the people in that battle???

    I can understand why you would feel that given you write ? like you are tone death with no rhythm so ? makes sense you would root for other with your special lyrical impairments...
    I will if b.c.o. and judah want me to since it's their battle.

    I get what you are saying but dif this they are judging all of our battles so if it is not sensible on 1 it makes sense that the same lack of logic will be used on others if clarity is not brought forth on what the ? they were talking about by flow. That said it will impact my future battles if they are allowed to continue to run on a messed up premise with no explanation on how they came to the flow conclusions they used to justify their votes in that battle...

    I'll talk to them a little more about judging future battles and whatnot. The 2nd round will be better. Also, there will be another tournament late summer, a few weeks after this one finishes and there will most likely be new judges. I might be a judge unless I win this tournament, then I will probably defend my crown.

    LOL! GL on our rematch.

    Just updated the bracket. I am making the threads now. We are going to have some crazy battles in round 2. With the exception of 1 or 2 people, I think anybody can win this whole thing.
