My lifes been wasted, livin in my parents basement
no girlfriends to mention, love life’s always vacant
Today it all changes, in the strangest of places
after all our exchanges, we're no longer strangers
I enter the diner, but I cant find her?
I get nervous, I think I'll hide here
Takin a seat while I wait for my sweet
Fucks up with this heat? Im gunna deplete
scannin the menu, least Im pretendin to
Yelp reviews claim it's a great venue
Someone walks by, see her out the corner of my eye
mouths bone dry, I wanna die, why are guys so shy?
with a rebellious air you know this girl's rare
long blonde hair and a beautiful round pair
I'm full of desire as I check my attire
Star Wars T over the spare tire? This geeks on fire!
Quick re-ajust of the specs - it's a nervous reflex
Thinkin of subjects, damm datin's so complex
pressures increasin with time, I just wanna shine
Should have a witty line that'll make her mine
My slow advancin treasure prologin the endeavour
I just wanna be together while shes takin forever
Shes starts walkin over, I'm tryna keep my composer
As she gets closer I hear her utter... "Can I take your order?"

A nice read here Scoot, great flow and your story telling is nice. You set the scene very well and you ended it with a good little twist. Nice job man

Also is this autobiographical?

You've got really good flow actually. That's the first thing that stands out is that you aren't over wording or over writing at all and that's a massive bonus when you read anything.  That "Yelp" reviews line has brilliant flow and delivery and would actually sound great in audio haha.  Your rhyme schemes are nothing showy but you get a few multies in, you have a nice style of writing though with a very natural humour to it so it gives it a very entertaining read. Surprisingly, the humour combined with the very real topic makes you a charismatic writer in general, you're always tapping into that same sort of creativity as the better stuff by "The Streets" and I'd take that as a massive compliment.  You really should write a lot more, this proves you've got the ability to put out very good entertaining work.

haha this was pretty nice scoot, you developed the story well and the closer was pretty funny. Your flow is actually pretty smooth man, sounds like it'd be good for audio. Nothing special with the rhyming but you threw in a few multis here and there. I'd really like to see more from you man, this was pretty good.
Keep up and stay blessed. Peace.

This was a really good read. Your flow was great and your rhymeing in this piece is pretty good, good multis and I love the topic and your story telling ability. Over all this was a good funny read.

haaaaaaa sweet ending! loved it, i think what i like most about this piece of the bat is it heavily understated, delivery wise, not trying, just easy, and that carries on over to the reader. multiples weren't flashy, but nothing was without necessity, you cut the fat and told the story, i always appreciate that. imagery was again not over the top, but enough to bring us in with you. just nice work all around man, this is the first thing i've read from you (well piece wise anyway) it'd be dope to see more

"I don't always drop OM's But when i do i get positive feed!" - Scotty32 aka the most interesting man in the world.

Honestly this was funny but a really good drop.... I better see scotty32 feed some OM's now that he's dropping them lol

thing that surprised me most here in this drop was your inner rhyming scheme.... thought you nailed the flow and the story kept pace very well. 

overall 4 star drop...

Scotty

This was hot

Liked the opener such a large expansion of description in short sentences

My lifes been wasted, livin in my parents basement
no girlfriends to mention, love life’s always vacant
Today it all changes, in the strangest of places
after all our exchanges, we're no longer strangers

That was dope

Haha your story telling abilities are advanced sure liked the diner scene how you mentioned the awkwardness as well

Laughed at the star wars attire line and how the geek was proud of it what an A

Lol wished you went on after she sat down it would have been funny my guess he is gonna fuck this up

Dope over all it was nice scanning your intimidating text with out being scolded haha good read

Loved the story-telling. Flow was very on point and I'm glad cause I had fun spitting this on a beat and having no trouble at all reading over the lyrics. You set everything up nicely and had no filler at all. Everything felt necessary and significant to the whole piece. The ending was gold. Those last lines were built up a good mix of tension and humor. Just a very well thought out piece. Nice work, man.

Thanks for the feed everyone. Pretty flattering to get such positive feedback from an open mic vet like Freeda.


Nomedic, I think you might of the 'punchline' at the end. I'll give you a hint, it's more of a "love from a far".


Backstory, I had this idea years ago but never got round to writing it until SS's challenge. The idea was to feed off of the idea old LA had of me, so some of the newer members might of missed that. So I guess it's more of a parody of my self, or the image some had of me.


I'll be going through feeding everyone who dropped for SS's challenge (fuck like-for-like feed), so give me chance and I'll get there. Anyone who feed's this but wasn't part of the challenge, drop a link to any of your open mics and I'll do my best to drop some feed.

Just saw this.. my fault

Anyway, yeah, you did a nice job on this scoot. for someone who doesn't really post rhymes much I gotta say you killed this. Not much use of multies or internals but honestly I'm not one to care much for those, so I'm glad to see you spit everything you had wanted to say without trying to bring much technical skill into it. I really enjoyed this tho, hopefully you post some more OM's in the futre ;)

here is one of my OM's if you want to feed it, it's fine if you don't. http://www.lyricalassault.co.uk/forum/the-ghost-of-sarah-archer_topic33121.html

Anyways, keep up the good shit homie.

Only critique I have is the simplistic rhyme scheme and details.

but besides that it progressed nicely and flowed well. 
had a several humorous lines, the yelp review, spare tire. 
I was dying at the closer lol

"My slow advancin treasure prologin the endeavour
I just wanna be together while shes takin forever"

This bar was nice as well, made me picture the waitress taking a year on someone else's order. 

And after reading your little backstory, it made the verse that much better. 




Go my Minions!

This was actually hilarious, writing from a perspective of what LA users view you as being like (i.e. a nerd who'd be useless with women LOL). I thought you nailed that aspect of it perfectly and the ending was pretty funny. You have a really unique style and it'd be good to see you drop more verses from time to time.

lots of time character development is done soley at the start of the verse, i liked how the reader continues to understand the character from start to finish, its almost the focal point of the verse. painted a cool story. mechanicswise, was slightly basic but not enough to take away from the writing. felt the flow was consistent throughout allowin the story to be told easily. id deff consider this a 4 star piece, iunno if you were trolling in the thread. hope to see you write somethin again before the end of time

Thanks for the continued feed, much appreciated. Especially from the likes of Exo and Freeda who've been highly regarded in Open Mic for many years.

Seems a common theme is I need to work on a more advanced rhyme structure, which to be fair is understandable as this was my first 'topical' (other open mics have been more disses) I was focused more on the story than anything else. I intend to drop more often so I'll focus more on the structure.


And Nigma, I wasn't trolling about the 4 stars thing. I see them as an 'overall for the site' and doubt I'd get a 4/5 when Classic's are taken into account, considering how infrequently I write. But if you think it's deserved than thanks, that’s very flattering.


I said I'd drop feed for everyone who was part of SS's challenge and I do intend to do that. But hopefully it's understandable I've been a bit busy. I will get round to, eventually.
