Education › Re: 10 Signs You Only Went To School But An Illiterate by llaykorn: 9:27pm On Dec 09, 2015*. Modified: 12:09am On Dec 11, 2015 |
Tosyne2much, this is a beautiful article. I totally don't agree, though, with the examples you came with to bring to life to some of your points. I don't think it is that thoughtful to label a people illiterates for engaging in acts which you only deem wrong because they contradict your own instinctive values. Sagging one's trousers is not unlawful, and you only deem it unacceptable because you find it repulsive. Well, many other people do too.
As a matter of fact, sagging for many people is a symbol of freedom and cultural awareness; a symbol of their rejection of the values of mainstream society. For these, I don't think it would be fair to have sagging as an example.
Keep up the good job, brother; I am a big fan. |

I never thought I could hunch over to write a love poem. My pen is saying all the truths I'd rather keep to me. Every word I never uttered made you felt I had left Life's hustles are none truly but some complicated mess Dividing us into boundaries ever ever impossible Again, your mind has faltered; you have doubted me.
If you could see inside my soul; inside my heart....
See, you might not have said half of what you said. True you wouldn't know that if I could have a wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the warmth of your Lips on my cheek; touch of your fingers on my skin. Laughing softly in my ears, curled up, lost in our sins.
Life is worthless without a soul to remember Or even meaningless without, without a sister. V'e found a sister in you, a mother, a soul t' remember Everything, anything, all I've ever wanted ever!
You are always with me in a smile, a memory, a feeling. Or even in one of those moments you're missing. Ur scent is always there; you're always with me. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Truckpusher: How did the black people degenerate to this level of stupidity ?
Is poverty and lack of adequate education responsible and have reduced us to this sorry state of human existence ?
Are our leaders responsible for this show of shame that our people are now finding succour in God's word that everything goes as long as it has the 'God' tag on it ?
Who did this to our kind ?
Where did we go wrong to deserve this level of ignorance ?
What is happening to our people ?
Where are we going from here ?
My people , we are so lost and there is no end to our misery in sight. Weep for Africa , we should weep not for ourselves but for our generations unborn that will inherit the fruit of our shameful actions today . We sold our kind for mirrors and gun powder before yet we haven't learnt our lessons. 
What did the black man do to deserve all this ? Your words almost made me cry, bro. They remind me of El-Shabbazz. May his soul rest on in peace. |

Truckpusher: An Another typical example is the mass exodus of these people from their own homeland to the same land where poverty and backwardness abounds yet we haven't seen our Niger Delta youths travelling to Lagos to become truckpushers the way Northerners are arriving here in their hundreds willing to do any menial job for peanuts. You are an example of an exemption to that rule.  |

Can only get better SAW, I agree that your verses are plain but I don't agree that your poetry is not deep. You make your poetry evoke more emotion than do many of the poets I've seen. |

kr0ne: Yes, you can twist it anyhow you like. That's where complexity comes in. It's risky, though, because you'll always have to make it even. If you start with three you must add another three to balance it. But just so you don't make a mistake, two is advisable. Thank you, sir.  |
Rap Battles › Re: NL Rap Battles chatroom by llaykorn: 7:12am On Dec 05, 2015 |
kr0ne: Very good! Lemme explain, using some lines in your verse as example.
The first bar:
I'm sure you wanted to do four syllables here but the starting rhymes 'whacker/weaker' don't rhyme. It's not a must that every word in the syllables must rhyme but always ensure that the first and the last do; you can slant those in the middle. No problem about that.
Due to the way you kicked off, I assumed you adopted the two-line scheme, but you derailed here when you couldn't end the 4th line with a word that rhymes with ways/bae/ and away - the 4th's end rhyme is 'all' which doesn't match with the scheme. Even the "all" doesn't really rhyme with "burn". Burn can go with "learn/yearn/earn/turn/spurn", etc.
Two things went wrong here: you did five lines, which is odd and the "exams" in the middle doesn't rhyme with the rest. Aside these, you did a very good job and I'm Funlord is satisfied with the way you executed his topic. Kudos, bro. Thank you so much Kr0ne. But is it compulsory I adopt a scheme throughout my verse? Can I switch between a two-line and four-line scheme? |

kr0ne: Lekan the poet!!!! Just as Funlord said, there's no way Heinzekido could have survived this. He saved himself the humiliation by pulling a no show. Lekan's verse is direct and almost perfect, I'd only advise him to polish his multies next time. Llaykorn is in my top ffavourites to win the KOP. Kr0ne, this KOP win makes me feel unbearably nostalgic. You're a hero Kr0ne. |
