Open Mic: "D.O.P.E" - Trizzy Tre ft. fuckoff & Point Blank

If certain people felt gut shots with these punchlines then it was probably directed in that way....lol

But this drop was deading this picture epidemic....but ki what kinda answer to your question are you looking for regarding names? I think its all pretty clear my dude...

Thanks Que, props on the feed bruh...

I'm glad people took this for what it is and felt this.

Shit this drop turned controversial lol

Some people are not keeping it a rack.

I started the usage of pictures in the O.M in its current form.
Y‘all can ask Nepenthenz. He was the first one I pitched the idea to and he was like ‘go for it‘.

The picture is supposed to represent an Album cover; the cover of your Open Mic.
It was directly influenced by hip hop sites like Nah Right and 2DopeBoyz.
It was around the time Kanye was doing his G.O.O.D friday thing and he was dropping covers with crazy artwork. I liked what he was trying to do. Cause hip hop aint as visual as it used to be.
An album‘s artwork could influence your whole listening experience.
I remember looking at Ol‘Dirty‘s first album like ‘wow, I just know this is going to be dope‘

My first drops using pictures were all chick-related verses, that was what the pictures were for.
To make that shit even more exciting. I wanted yall to feel and see what the fuck I was talking about. I even used a real girl‘s picture once (One I knew in real life)
Thats why I removed my name, date of birth everything from my profile.
If she finds out she‘ll fucking body me, but im gonna save that for my Lyrical Assault Interview lol

Long story short. J504 took it to another level and some dudes try to bite what he did.
If ur gonna use a pic for a regular ass topic that shit better be artistic!

And some dudes just dont get it, lol

No, Im not going to stop using pictures. Thats like dropping an album with no cover art, and thats ass backwards. The irony of Kanye dropping Yeezus like that...lol

Dont be demonic and keep it a buck, ppl.

Peace.

Like PB and fuckoff have said before everyone has their own opinion regarding this picture issue.

Chains you undoubtedly have barz and I can respect that 100% bruh....

But I don't agree that comparing an album cover and dropping multiple pictures in an 8 bar drop is the same. The fact that the pictures most of the time tell the whole story without even needing to read the actual verse. Not saying you do that but that's when things start to be a problem in my opinion man..

I like the idea behind this - however, I think it coulda worked better. I don't wanna take anything away from this ere though cuz it was decent.

Right - PB The Chain reaction play has been abused and murdered. It was buried somewhere secret, but you managed to sniff it out and exhume it. Having said that though, you used it in a way which made it more effective than the Chain reaction plays Ive seen before. Not all of them - but yano what I mean.  The Google images bar flow was flawless - like that one.  I won the topical title from Cuba - it didn't contain a picture - I tehn re-matched him and won again - again, it didn't contain a picture. So dunno what that was about. Maybe it was my latest title defense against Exo, which I know rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way. In all honesty, when everyone started going on about it I thought 'fuck!, I over-used the pic thing there'. And I see that now - but didnt at the time cuz I thought it would be a good way of painting the pic. Aint like I can't do that without a pic so yea - bug mistake there that I made, and I wunt be doin it again. Lastly - as far as I remember - I'm the only one who usually uses THE LATEST material from the news, in OMs, and theyre generally good - so dunno if that was a pop at me - but anyways.  JPeg line was dope. And loved the play in the closer.  Trizz  Liked the opener, the punch in the second line - but one thing that you do a lot of is say stuff in your set-up line that dunt really come across as proper English. Not that I'm expecting the Queens English - but ya set-ups can be a lot of filler sometimes. Not all the times - but it did that here.  Forced to stop and PhotoShop didn't rhyme for me. Can't pin-point an accent where it would rhyme. I liked the beast/Pony connection in the next part. Ya coulda threw some magic play in there somewhere to connect the one trick thing - coulda made it better I reckon, but still, this was a decent line. Liked the x-ray posts/body of work play. You did that thing again with not making sense in the set-up. Like, where does 'sloppy you jerks' ever get said in that way where itll make sense? Ja know what I mean? Closer was ok. Fuck Wasnt really keen on your opening bars - not that they were bad or nuttin, but just a bit neutral in comparison to how Point and Trizz started off. It started to get decent at your dream shit line.  Loved the no pic/O shit line LOL - that was cool man and the best in your verse. Clever too the way you posted a link of a pic of your verse LOL. Nice way to finish off and that was IMO the most creative bar ou of the whole 3 verses. I think with PB opening this - it left you 2 with big boots to fill though you both have small feet. Ya get me? Its no use having a collab where one outshines the rest far more than he should have. It made a lot of the stuff you's picked on repetitive too - cuz PB had already covered the majority of it in his verse. Even still - I liked the concept behind this. It was very creative and a good way to poke fun at PIC verses. Good shit lads

The exact response I was looking. lol

Glad this drop did its job.

When I said that's the response I was looking for I mean I knew you would feed it that way. I can tell just from your feed it bothered you. Even chains and cuba who use pictures siad this was one of the best collabos he had seen on a long time on this site. There is slight hate feed from you.
My idea for this was basically to murk the "picture idea" shit. I never even said a persons name or anything i just went at the picture idea shit.

And you keep you thinking I am talking shit which never once in our convo's did I say fuck manc or ki or anyone in your crew.

Funny how if someone goes against you or your crew you always view it as "that person is wrong". But of you go against someone you are just stating your opinion....so why is it so different?

This was a solid drop from all three of you.

Tbh I always though the shit went OTT, I was cool with J5 and Chain doing it because to them it was just cover art, which didn't take away from the piece. But some are dropping shit that aren't as good as the pic, which is crazy.

That was absolutely dope. Much respect to fuckoff for coming in with heat after two ill verses. I loved seeing how angry and descriptive Trizzy was also.
