& why. in ur opinion.

i think probably vulgar. ppl will say' i can use big words 2' but i can tell the difference between a vulgar verse and other ppl. u guys can incorporate battling as well.

even tho same.

then maybe split 8

Good answer.

I agree with Split Eight.

Vulgar, too, probably. He seems a bit easier to mimic than Split but it's hard to get the details and nuances down to really make it work.

brokenhal0 is the correct answer, though.

On the opposite end I'd say Geno, Wise, myself, Darth/dull in paragraph form, and CopyPat are the easiest. Not that that makes them any less dope.

Except me. I suck.

I'ma say it's gotta be Manhattan.

His style is so multi & intellectually crazy... very hard to emulate.. I think the only 2 that come close is Neighbor, then Beyond.. & in that order.

In battling.. nobody. All styles can be duplicated if u've been at it long enough.

Except one style.. of a retired textcee who was an original & did a real style of what u faggots call longbar. Mudfoot could never be duplicated.

That kind of defeats the purpose of the topic. I'm sure the intention is towards people on here who have an identifiable style. That's like answering 'What's the worst tasting food' with 'Cinderblock'.

I would say most would find it difficult to write like me, how i normally write, i don't know if i have posted much of that here, or much of anything really, but i would say i do things a little differently at least...but then again I would find it difficult to write like pretty much anyone else, I only know how to write one way.

I have been experimenting with different sides of it recently but it is back to the tried and tested for my next piece.

I would say people like darth yoda tbh and wise, and a good few others...that clever, witty, zany paragraph stuff is something i don't think I would be good at tbh it gets hated on a lot but i think it is fun to read and takes a certain type of mind to be able to do it. Nobody rhymes like me though, not with the consistent flow throughout a 60+ line piece while staying on topic and telling an intricate tale at the same time...THE FLOW JUST DOESN'T STOP, I DUNNO HOW I DO IT EITHER, I AMAZE ME TOO.

tbhumble.

Beyond & Aero.

Beyond, because his mild case of OCD and perfectionist tendencies force him to make the length of his lines as equal as possible, without sacrificing superb rhyme schemes and a showcase of complex multies. 99% of short bar battlers are lazy as fucking fuck, with this "as long as it rhymes with faggot and has dat punch" attitude. I will never see the day when someone on this board gets to Beyond's lvl.

Aero because he's witty, humorous and has a way with words that make his bars flow flawlessly as they ease into the punchline.

I'ma say it's gotta be Manhattan.

manhattan is bwhahas brother and have seen them do similar verses to each other. neighbor/manhattan are close, but not identical.

It's different though, people think they have a certain style mimicked but, when it comes to differentiating (an art in itself) it's very easy to see who's who. That's why I said Vulgar. People can mimic his cadence, his word usage, the way he compares and uses references, but I can choose a vulgar verse from a bunch if 10 other writers were copying him. The only one I can see coming close would be NYCSPITZ to that sort of style. Geno/Wise are close, to each other, but not identical (in some instances) Pancake is also someone who's hard to mimic. I'd say certain has a certain style. lol. But me and dull have pointed out it's a liquefied version of me trying to copy dull. :p jk (not really

In writers who are synonymous in writing I'd say it would be

Neighbor/Manhattan
Wise/Geno
Oats/Certain (they're my best friends)
Zygote/Pancake (longshot, but both are formulaic)
Me/Dull (WE're the same person)
Split 8/Dead (deads style is easy to spot by the way he formats his writing)

Zygote? I have to disagree.

Certain and I have relatively similar styles in particular verses, I think. Zygote doesn't seem like a close comparison at all in my own self-aware estimation.

zygote is impossible to match up with anyone because his style changes whenever he feels like it.

there is no way oats and deadman pair up

im also weary on saying split and vulg pair up, but thats a more feasible comparison.

but no way oats and dead man share a writing style. at all.

and the wise/geno comparison from earlier was correct

me and oats are different. His style was too easy for me to imitate in the challenge league. His formula is easy to emulate IMO. the only hard part about emulating oats is he's intelligent.

Geno and wise have a very similar formula unless geno goes rhyme heavy.. but his average verse formula is very similar to wise's. Zygote is an impressive writer. I dont know what his base style is. His Battle raps are getting worse by the number.... they read like an intelligent mans version of

I know who to pair dead with though.
