[doublenegative]

How do you define blacking out lyrically?

Longer than 16 bars?

Minimal beat breaks?

Defined by multiple memorable moments in a single verse?

 

[FreshAIG]

Ways to black on a track means you had an extremely memorable verse. Whether it be great punchlines, wordplay, rhyme schemes, delivery, ridiculous flow. Something you did in the verse stood above and beyond everyone else on the song, or if it's a solo track, beyond what you're normal is.

Example of blacking out lyrically: Canibus on Beast From the East
Example of blacking out flow wise: Eminem on Dead Wrong

 

[28 Gramz]

Damn near every line has to be quoteable..usually longer than 16 bars and just has to leave you saying "goddamn" at the end of it.
