I try to put a fresh spin on my bars.. some work out and people like it, some don't and people give me the "its okay" or "nahh, didnt work" responses.
Good punches/concepts takes a bit of research. By this I mean, do you want to go the cliche' route when forming a verse? Do you want to do personals, if so.. which would work best? Is it okay to make up a personal such as saying some one is ugly or fat even though you never seen them yourself..? Do you want to involve current events into your punch? If so, where would you look and what would be relevant? Wordplay/nameflips.. assume most simpler ones have been done before so go for the more difficult ones to tie in. In my recent battle vs Galactic, nameplays on him have been beaten to death as they have on me, so in order for me to get ANY points for a name flip, they had to be creative, never seen before, or worded nearly perfectly.
Read my verse from this week vs him and look at the replies I got, who liked what bars the most and why.. do you agree or dissagree with them? Think about why they liked some name flips and didnt like some of the others, same with his verse. Best way to learn is to analyze.
