Just gonna rip Ki with a quick Key...

You don't wanna swap lyrics with me if you're in it for beef
I'll leave you hanging by a thread off of the skin of your teeth
It's easy to see that no one's weaker than Ki
This actor 'can't remember his lines'? That's funny, cos neither can we!!
Drops nice pics with his verses but still wack as an artist
This Dr.Who fan couldn't be 'out of this world' if he was trapped in the tardis
So stop frontin like you're hard cos mass destructions on the cards
I'ma leave you chopped up ...
...just like the structure of your bars
My punches leaving scars as I wreck him with ease
You know the 'joints' I drop are tougher than an elephants knees
So why you steppin to me? Have some respect for PB
Or you'll be going fucking nowhere when I break your skeleton Ki
Nothing on your CV but tons of foolish credentials
Just lookin at that uni you went to would prove that you're mental
And I'ma steal that girl you like cos I'm one hell of a charmer
How the fuck you gon 'attract her (a tractor)' when you dress like a farmer
You say I'm 'tired'? Yea I am, of the same old shit...
I'm sick of reading your tame punches everyday son cos they don't hit
You've been here long enough to know that you're wack kid
Totally hopeless at battlin' and thinks he's dope cos he's active
He's a joke and a faggot, we know this lyricist lacks threat
He couldn't be involved in a 'killer play' if he auditioned for Hamlet!
Nothing flows in his verses, his persona is worthless
So I'll leave Spirez crashing and burning like explosions in churches...

Great flow and some really nice punches. I liked the skeleton key line. That was crack. Very consistant and read smoothly throughout. I have been enjoying these open mic drops going back and forth between you guys. 

I do have one bad critique to this drop, I know you said it was a key anyways so prolly why you didn't catch  it but the attract her wordplay was kinda forced. The wordplay itself read smoothly but as a whole it doesn't make grammatical sense IMO. 

"How the fuck you gon attract her when you dress like a farmer"
"How the fuck you gon a tractor when you dress like a farmer"
^^ reading it that way doesn't really make sense to me.. what's it mean when you "gon a tractor" 

Either way besides that little input, the drop was dope. Structure of his bars line was nice also. 
Go my Minions!

Thanks for the comments man, good to get some criticism now and then aha. Yea when I was first writing it I just left it as attract her but when I read over it again I realised it sounded like a tractor which linked to the farmer play and I couldn't really be assed implementing it properly so just left it as I did aha.

Cheers for the feed everyone

I liked this man, very direct, and the flow complemented a lot of the lines very well. 

Laughed at the tractor play and the 'remember his lines' bit, funny that in my whole time here, no one's made that reference haha 

Good response bro, been on my phone all day, but had a 40 min train journey to jot down a couple of bars, so I got you.

What's up PB, I thought this was an enjoyable piece broseph. My intelligence quotient hypothesizes that this wasn't exactly a legitimate keystyle, more so a quick write of concepts you had brainstormed. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.  I enjoy how strict you are with your multi rhymes, gives it a smooth touch that some rappers around here are slack on. I enjoyed how you approached this diss from several angles with metas/similes, and a variety of other literary devices. One thing I disliked throughout the verse was how blatantly you spelled out the wordplays. To me that came across like a crossword puzzle with the answers lightly stenciled, completely takes the fun out of reading for wordplay with it's made so obvious. It's as though you're catering to morons and I feel that people should have to work to comprehend the dopest parts of the verse. That was the only theme I disliked throughout the verse, now I'll break down so quotes that I felt deserved a comment/critique.

"Or you'll be going fucking nowhere when I break your skeleton Ki"
Felt the 'fucking' was out of place. I know you were trying to keep the syllables balanced but I feel adding profanity that adds little to the line is almost lazy and could definitely be ironed out. I realize that this was a (semi) keystyle but best not to create bad habits for yourself.


"How the fuck you gon 'attract her (a tractor)' when you dress like a farmer"
Although, as addressed by Law, this only made sense in one context, I feel the worded was dope enough for it to stand alone. It would obviously have a tremendously increased wow-effect if it were to have two segregated meanings but I don't have a problem with it how it was. Read more as a line alluding to a tractor in relation to dressing like a farmer then it did as an intentional double entendre. 

He couldn't be involved in a 'killer play' if he auditioned for Hamlet!
Alongside the tractor line, the elephant joint line, and whatever other ones I'm forgetting, these are examples of lines I feel would come across as being more memorable if the wordplay was was in quotes. You word things well enough that the reader should be able to figure it out, and when you allow someone to figure it out on their own it will be much more memorable to them.

Last thing I'll mention, I really enjoy how you stray away from played rhymes schemes and use unique multies. Solid piece broseph, take care.

I think it's partly to do with the emphasis you place on the phrase in a punchline though, I get what you're saying from traditionalist perspective and really I agree with you...but I guess he's imagining rapping it saying KILLER PLAY so putting something to emphasise it punctually is fair enough...

Quality feedback though, Nigs is in the place

That's the difference between audio and text IMO, and it all boils down to personal preference.

Knew I was forgetting something, 

"Nothing flows in his verses, his"
I really liked some of the little things you were doin too, you don't always always need multis, sometimes small assonant repetition does the trick nicely.

Yea Nigma is clued up for sure, I respect your opinions. Cuba hit the nail on the head really, it's merely for emphasis and delivery, although I completely agree that it's not needed since this ain't audio. Nobodies ever really picked up on it being an issue but if that's the case then I'll stop doing it.
