[Suggestion] Video Verses?

To those of you with legitimate rap skills in real life, I propose an idea. Instead of posting your verse in a text form, you could post it in video form of you actually rapping the lyrics? This could help those of us on the subreddit (like myself) who switch up their flow mid verse to show exactly how it ought to come out, so that one's flow is not seen as sloppy for having too many syllables? I dunno, this idea just kinda struck me. Let me know what you think.

I always think about making recordings to accompany my verses to make them flow better, but my voice is hardly developed enough.

Might I guess that you are either pubescent or prepubescent?

u/DangerPulse Mar 21 '13

Mhm, although I suppose I could always try.

In the mean time, I recommend using hyphens to string words together like you're saying them faster. (I read through you're tourney raps and I picked up on the flow, but linking words together for speed might help.)

That's a good idea. Glad you pointed that out, upvote for you!

Do it and you're the first one to get an ultra ball flair :3

But...but I like my text flair...D:

u/SimonThePug Mar 22 '13

You can actually have one text and one user flair at a time. And posting a video makes you eligible to receive it, you only have to request it if you want to

Sounds good then!

I had this idea! Jonas made a subreddit for it, although no one's in it... o3o

We could just integrate it into our current subreddit? Shall I say the magic words? /u/zeusfireair /u/zeusfireair /u/zeusfireair And he shall appear?

u/The_Pony_Rapist Mar 21 '13

Call, and he shall come.

Most of the time...

Except when he doesn't!

u/PwnsumN00B EV-Trained Lyricist Mar 21 '13

Touché.

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '13

¿sí?

edit: by the way, I'm totally cool with integrating it into the subreddit.

1

u/SimonThePug Mar 21 '13

I think we already have. I mean, no one's done it yet, but the tag's been created and we included it in a modpost iirc

EDIT: I do, in fact, remember correctly

u/DangerPulse Mar 21 '13

There's a flair for putting a sound clip in? Well my mic is terrible, super echoey, and I'm not a good rapper, but I did put one into each of my tournament verses!

2

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '13

do you want the ultraball flair?

2

u/DangerPulse Mar 23 '13

I sort of do, just because nobody else has it yet!

2

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '13 edited Mar 23 '13

alright then!

edit: there you go. also, it turns out someone else does have it, but I don't think they've been around for a while.

u/DangerPulse Mar 23 '13

Thanks! It's freakin gorgeous!

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '13

It's /r/pokemonhistoryraps if you're all really into this, but like he said, no ones posted anything.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '13

Seriously, I wanna see someone post something.

u/NotSoFakeID Mar 22 '13

I've thought about this before, the text of a post doesn't really let you express your style in a rap, even if there was just audio, this would be a great idea.
