Your strengths and weaknesses of writing

Postby Yah-hah » Aug 6th, '10, 05:58

I''l start
My strengths are defintely multis. I dont hear simple rhymes anymore its always multis to the point its natural now. I have a good way of grasping emoton with my deeper peices. Wide variety of topics lol Alot of people make the mistake of having every song sound the same or just random freeverses. Not saying you shouldnt do that I prefer having full songs and didfferent topics to keep it fresh. I'd like to think my vocab is pretty good too. I also stay true to my Native American roots. Most people I've heard say its a good thing. Sometimes I feel I talk about it to much but I know its not a very common thing and helps give me a memorable foundation.

Weaknesses are for sure structure, although its getting alot better. to those who saw my first few songs lol you know. I use alot of inners to mak it flow dispite the awkward structure. My punches ae getting better but are still something I tend to struggle with. I'm listenin to alot more "punchline" rappers at the mooent to help broaden my horizons so to speak on punches. Same for wordplay but im a bit better at that punches tho. I really suck at choruses. Early in my writing I was very good at coming up with them but now I seem to struggle. I often just skip it all together lol

Strengths - I'm very versatile, I've tackled every type of song I could think of. I can imitate almost any artist's style because of that. I grasp multies but that's a double edged sword. I can do punchlines and wordplay but sometimes I force it. My flow is on point even though I'm not experienced enough to spit some of my more complex pieces without fucking up. Horrorcore is a really comfortable area for me. I can right stuff very fast and it turns out great, but some days I'll take my time and only manage a few lines. I can do stories.

Weaknesses - Sometimes I use simplistic rhymes schemes. Sometimes my multies turn my pieces to shit because it's all random babble with no cohesiveness. I stay in my comfort zone too often. I prefer 16's over songs. I set a limit to how many bars I'm going to write before hand instead of just letting it flow.
My style is sporadic and I don't yet have my own.

It's a Mortons Fork. I love the concepts, the expansion of detail, etc. But, you're limited to an audience that belongs to Slug. How'd you slip from it's grasp?

Stringing together one liners. Writing like other artists. The last time I was doing it I just wrote 3-4 very long stories. Haven't felt the urge to write one since.

Wonder what my secrets is, niggas'll move on you
only if they know, what your weakness is,I have none...


Oh wait... :facepalm


I don't think I have any strengths,maybe my flow.

I guess my weaknesses are : I don't write about a variety of topics.

Feel free to inform me about more of my strengths and/or weaknesses.

I feel my strength is being able to touch topic others normally dont.I can write about stuff others would normally hesitate on writing about , I can do some pretty decent story telling and i would say i can get what i have in my mind across to the reader.

My weakness is that i dont touch versatile topics, i stick to stuff which inspires/moves me...and that is something only part of the world relates too, thereby acting as a barrier.Also the fact that i ONLY write when im inspired means i miss out on collabs, or doin stuff for beats. I dont foucs on multis and punches, i stick to the message at times and thats a lil bothersome to some,lol

Strenghts: Wordplay, vocabulary, imagery, emotional, punchlines, poetic, unique rhyme schemes and complexity.

Weaknesses: I can't work on a song for more than 3 hours. If I'm not done within that time period, then I just drop the concept. I can't write 4 bars today, 4 bars tomorrow and the rest next week. I have to finish it up ASAP. And I manage to get in a lil' writers block every now and then. I'm too sensitive for writer blocks.

Iunno about strengths but my weaknesses are that it takes me forever to write something. Also if something is bothering me in my personal life then I can't find the motivation to write at all, like most of the time now. I worry too much about structure instead of using the best flow possible and I tend to rhyme the same words a lot.

strengths - flow. usually can take almost anything and get it to sound alrite against a beat.
im pretty versatile too, can right about basically anything, except if its something i dont know to much about im prone to writers block.

weaknesses- takes me forever to write anything, because i focus on flow. and most of the time because im so about that, that actual verses start to become mediocre, or at least lack rhymes.
