why aint my bars any good? please help!

dunno bout anyone else but i think its cool that you swallowed your pride and are asking for help, alot of people here are very talented and can teach you a bunch and help you elevate. Its not a matter of your shit being "good enough" you just talk a big game and dont have the lyrics to back it up - and thats what pisses people off....so understand thats why everyone was pissed or w/e

You need to expand your vocabulary, when your rhyming something dont structure a bar just to rhyme some words. Think about the bar, add some creativity to it and make it into something. Try and work with words that have more then one syllable, this will help put some complexity into your bars and make them a lil stronger. Theres a ton of things you can do in a battle verse that you dont necissarily wanna do in a keystyle when it comes to how you do your bars.

Theres a pretty good thread here on illest you should peep, its like tuts on how to write - I think almost everyone here has read them a time or two and they help ALOT. So dont be ashamed to go over em and learn a thing or two - I'll post some of those links for ya to make it easy

Good Luck~

exactly...

'good enough' is the wrong phrase..bcuz if anybody on this site was 'good enough' they'd be signed already..nobody is perfect yet u strive 4 perfection..understandable...but read books(dont act tough as IF u dont need it,cuz u do)read words u dont kno and the context surrounding it 2 understand it,or look it up in'a dictionary..thats as far as ur vocabulary goes...but as far as rappin n bein creative..thats gotta come from the heart n soul homie...pEaCe

Write Creatively, Shit Thats Original And Will Either Get Ppl Going \'Oooh\' Or \'Hahaha\'.
Dont Just Write Shit Like \'u Cant Play The Game\' Or w/e The Fuck u Were Sayin in Lawgix\'s Diss.
And im Too Lazy To Type Examples Up, Just Look at My Record if u Dont Believe Me Haha.

^ Read that all, it looks alot, but it'll help u a bit

Big P did you read the links I posted above? Those are a huge help and will stop you from asking questions like "what is a multi" etc. If you take everyones advice and read the material they are giving you I promise it'll help you out some with your writings. But dont ask people for help and not take the advice they give you and then expect others to help you as well.
