#ToonamiIsBackBitches; Lyricist Lounge Flow


I don't think of my prose for the most part as traditional literature. My writing style, my unconscious writing style would appeal to hip-hoppers. Poets and freestyle lyricists of the hip hop world, in the same way the Beastie Boys lyrics and lyric sheets on the albums and the Beat Movement of the 60s did. My teachers in high school always used to go on and on about how my words "have a certain flow" to them. And while I'm a terrible rapper, I'm a pretty good non-musical written word lyricist. I do listen to my share of rap, rap-metal, nu-metal, hip-hop, and progressive hip-hop.

I've checked out the websites and mp3s of Richie Branson and MC Chris. I think those nerdcore cats are onto something here.

But I'm also big on Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Bloodhound Gang, and the Beastie Boys, as well as my man, Jack Kerouac. I guess my words and rants do kind of have a hip-hop drum n' bass lyrical beat generation vibe to them, considering I write essays, poems, journals, along with scripts and fiction.  Word flow is very important to me though.
