If you have a league based on hip hop aspects who is going to decide if it’s hip hop or not seems like a very subjective thing

You know every single one of my verses can be spat on a beat.

Mine can also, I just didn’t get that vibe with Objective and Cereal which made me wonder why them preferring a hip hop based writing outlet was a priority.

A common feed that occurs when I post elsewhere: "Do you rap or write lyrics? It has that element to it." Even when I don't write with a beat signature in mind which you're right about. I don't do that often anymore. I like to break rules and create transitions that wouldn't work well on a beat, I don't see the point in limiting myself too much in terms of storytelling unless I'm going to record it as well. That's me personally tho. I also don't particularly like getting "+ points" or "refreshing read" just because it's different than what they're used to, detracts from what I'm looking for in feedback and critique. "I don't understand the slang but after a Google search I got it." Which kinda detracts from the reading experience, or if I use references I got to be wary of what would easily be understood by hiphop heads but not so much elsewhere. Just shit like that, mainly. Also the fact people are way more critical in terms of use of vowels and consonants, when to use them and so on. Language preferred being "poetic" or "beautiful" more often than not. A lot miss out on rhyme schemes beyond internals as well. I like the rawness of language without having to worry about which word is easier to say in succession of another and how your mouth/tongue is positioned when saying the next word so it "floats better". The "Do's" and "Don't's" are different but both has its place, ya know?

I’m currently trying to get some of my writing published in literary magazines. Rhyming is very frowned upon in the poetry world but imo that’s because they can’t do it anywhere near the complexity level that we’ve reached. That being said I’m also submitting non rhyming stuff, my favorite of which is micro fiction, which is usually 50 words or less. I can crank those out quick. There’s publications that do monthly topics on those

@Cereal - Haha, for sure. I do love that vibe, style of writing and stuff too when done really well, though. It's just that I never really feel at home with it, the atmosphere or whatever. Can't really put my finger on exactly what it is. If that makes sense?

People can't really hate on it too much either cus too many of the greats are amazing. The storytelling and depth in The Raven is an example and personal fav of mine I bring forth when people are set on free form poetry as the one and only form that doesn't come off as "childish". Micro novels sound interesting though, never thought about that being a thing. You still writing children books and stuff tho? If so, how's that coming along?

Most common feedback from this world is "childish" and "detracts from the overall message". My brain: "Huh, what... How? You trash af bruh but fair enough, you do you"
