Twork going :damn:


:hhh:

For starters, Twerk talks like he's holding a mouth full of spit. Also, didn't he just get fukked up by Mike P? Where does he even get off? Him saying the bar of the night was trash lets me know everything I need to know about his thought process ( and explains why I, coincidentally, don't dig none of his shyt). Brizz would bite that nikka head off.

Would love to see Quest & Marv, they sent Chess & Steams to the moon.

The rumored match-up I saw for Quest & Marv was DMV (Jakkboy & Ryda).

Quest & Marv might have just dubbed it. But I think there's a chance that it may happen, and they don't want to announce it with the other battles for fear of backlash.

I want to say Quest & Marv deserve better, but if they aren't above taking THIS battle.....



C'mon man. Its not like they didn't take battles like this before. Ooops, let me say that right. Its not like they haven't battled white people before. Lol.

The Double Entendre. Triangulated.

THE DOUBLE ENTENDRE. TRIANGULATED.
April 27, 2017

When one considers the term: ‘Double Entendre’, many different realizations may occur in your mind. Double meaning, ambiguity and innuendo, are some of the synonyms directly linked to the French expression. The origin of these two intertwined words go far back. The usage was primarily used for socially awkward conversations and even sexually induced puns. Basically ways to cover up solicit language in public, while simultaneously telling a crass joke that intelligent people could decipher rather quickly.


Fast Forwarding to Hip Hop, some lyricists use the technique to create metaphors, similes and other english language within bar structure of rhymes. While studying with my fellow brother Chilla Jones IT, I’ve found a distinct way to easily and cleverly craft Entendre’s effortlessly. The technique is called “The Entendre Triangle”.

Consider a Triangle. With no point of stoppage or exit. Its just a streamlining movement of design. Free flowing. This is the foundation of the Entendre. We will separate the 3 settings into quick format. The bottom of the Triangle can be classified as “Subject”. The beginning of the Entendre starts with the subject matter. It leads off the Entendre with a start point of interest. The left side of the triangle can be classified as “Intrigue”. The middle of the Entendre becomes the focal point and spring board for the closing word and or phrase. This part is essential in bridging the gap between references. The final side of the triangle can be classified as “Summation.” The culmination of the Entendre brings forth a satisfying completed punchline or metaphor. Utilizing the summation properly will ensure a perfected Double Entendre.


For example, take the lyric:


“Rappers wanna be super? Man, they’re in the lowest lane, looking for the booth”.

Subject = Superman
Intrigue = Lois Lane
Summation = Booth

Ironically enough, aside from the obvious pop culture references to Superman’s distinct image, it also doubles as a way to describe emcee’s attempt to be popular, while being eschewed in the underground sects of their career, looking to record.



This format is one of many ways to create a Double Entendre. There is no absolute set format to crafting one. My advice when it comes to writing an Entendre: Tri it.

How can Brizz be overrated when as far as the big stage, nobody hardly rated him high to begin with? Lol

He's earned Cal calling him out, Rum Nitty sayin' he'd take him, Hollow saying he'd take him.

Twork is good but...he ain't Brizz. Both got similar attributes. Twork is good for one highlight in a 3 round battle, Brizz will have 2 in the first 2 rounds to trump it. Especially if the I'm strapped in don't land hard....he outta there.
