I'm the talk of the talk
I put the walk in the walk I put the stock in the shotgun But Beef is not what I want Peace is all that I thought of its hot on my block People surrounded by narcs Evil comes out in the dark Needles are found in the park Fiends buy pounds just to spark Weed, is loud and if narcs See it out, then good luck You'll be out by tomorrow. It is not the ideal life, The pain i've revealed You've no idea what it feels like walk a mile in my shoes tell me the future is still bright I've got nothing to lose Inside i'm hollow like steel pipes. |

the problem here is the simplicity
your trying to illustrate the pain and grief is living in violent surroundings, but you have to provide imagery and the right words to really make all that despair and pain come to fruition. Im not saying you cant keep it street, but the words have to translate into feeling. Keep writing and time will advance your skillsets. I see how a verse like this could work in audio and your lines naturally fit into a bear measure. . but in terms of a written text piece. .its just lacking in most categories if im being honest. Stay elevating fam

This verse was on the basic side here,and depth for me was the enemy,I do believe
an OM doesn't have to be complex to make an impact,but it does need details or character to make it stand out,otherwise it just a rhyme,however this did have some content like here " Evil comes out in the dark Needles are found in the park Fiends buy pounds just to spark" "You've no idea what it feels like walk a mile in my shoes tell me the future is still bright I've got nothing to lose Inside i'm hollow like steel pipes". That was the highlight for me,these passages did have character,I liked them,this read was good also via flow due to the short lines,plus the simile on the close out was nice I thought,and yeah I can see this being real nice in audio format,but it would be ripe if it had depth,still decent read..peace. |

Not bad, but very basic. The beginning was decent, going short bar you gotta keep it fresh or it becomes very monotonous. Up your vocab in situations like this should help. Give yourself more time to create a verse in an attempt to elevate. I definitely think you could do better. This piece had decent lines, but you could push the pen more.

Well, I won't leave much feed for you on this one my dude because I feel as if I'd just be echoing more of the same. But, I will say I somewhat enjoyed the read. Yes, it was simple, but it also had little glimpses of grander ideas nestled between each line. It was kind of like a Nas track -- seems to be all over the place but when all is said and done it provides a stylistic vision of ghetto existence. The only difference between your verse and Nas' work is that your verse is less developed and detailed. To me it reads like something a rapper spits a cappella before the beats drops and he gets into the meat of the verse. In any case, this was nice but could be so much better with more attention paid to detail.

According to the OM culture yep you just needed to up your vocab. The rhymes are fine with me, i just wanna hear that verse as an audio. It doesn‘t really matter how simple a verse is to me, it must have a good flow and good imagery.
I know you write better than this so if you wanna do Audio just do it on the mic not via Om cause you might not get relevant feedback |
