rap isnt about "clever" lyrics its best suited to strong emotions and simple concepts like "friendships" or "being pissed". it's not poetry and it's not about finding the cleverest rhyme word i also dont like slam poetry and spoken word because it tends to hold this awkward middle ground between poetry and rap when i think those two things basically have nothing to do with eachother and don't blend well

phuo: most poets and most writers in general are not very good at reciting their own work. which is to be expected, as reading stuff out loud in an engaging way is not really their job. doesn't stop them from trying though

Pussy put that pretty boy I just hosed Right to sleep, Second that he’s snorin Take his wallet and his keys, And its back to the street going scur-scur in the jeep, Hot box in the wip, but this piffy aint cheap, beep-beep. Who got the keys to oblivion? Mark-rear end motherfuckers trickin' in oblivion. Never gettin rid of him, Let the money trickle in, gently caress his brains out once and never touch his dick again. Relentless, cuz my taste is expensive, Lookin at the world through lanvin lenses, Take everything and they leave no forensic, Evidence, I’m a Monica Lewinsky, Yeah I hosed the president, yeah I hosed the president So I know Obama cares pictures on my phone of him chokin on my underwear, 100k a week Just to make sure, I don’t share Called it a secret service

No matter how stupid the story is, there's somebody out there that's stupid enough to match it.

If you strain too hard while you're making GBS threads you can get a vasovagal response that causes your blood pressure to drop, which can cause you to pass the gently caress out. A lot of old people pass out in the bathroom this way because they're straining too hard trying to take a crap. I have no problem believing that somebody poo poo their pants so hard that they vagaled out behind the wheel.

To enjoy poetry you gotta let it take over you, and also have the ability and willingness to do that. It's just a bunch of boring words otherwise. Enjoying poetry is kinda like enjoying music on hard mode.

phuo: "i don't get it" doesn't have to be followed by neither "therefore, it sucks" nor "people who do get it are obviously pretending to make themselves look good" or any permutations of thereof like, it's fine to just Not Get Things - there's far too many Things in the world to Get them all. however, Not Getting Things might preclude from having meaningful opinions on or critiques of said Things, so one should tread carefully

Model work is far superior to CGI. Dunno if that's an unpopular opinion or not, but if you look at the models for something like Star Trek II, made almost 40 years ago, it holds up far better than CGI made even four years ago. It's the nature of CGI that technology is always changing, so computer graphics are going to have a much shorter shelf life than really well done model work.
