Blackout is when a rapper sound like every bar is to make a lasting impression

A lot of these postings are really good verses, extremely lyrical, but not really blacking.

When a nicca blacks, it's as if something took over him.

Some force just gotta hold of him, and won't let go. Usually you can tell because the delivery starts to get compromised ever so slightly, the emotion ramps up and the passion is unparallelled. It's damn near an out of body, extra-sensory experience, which is transferred to the listener...who in turn has a similar experience.

...and that experience is so rare these days because the studio experience has become so manufactured and inorganic.

Completely agree. That was my point of this thread.

I think blacking usually occurs outside the normal framework of verse writing and delivery. Thats why it seems like most good examples occur in a verse longer than 16 and why it is more likely to happen in a stream of consciousness-style verse or freestyle. You cant black out telling a story can you?

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

Was coming in here just to say this. Best example that could be given IMO, another good one is Beans and Scarface on Mac & Brad.

Yup. Well said.

And I dunno man...I think it's possible to black on a storytelling joint...it's rare, but possible. Whenever there's good creative energy and a gifted rapper who takes the craft seriously, anything is possible. ...
