"Don't mind the fact that the okaymusicians look and laugh at wack rhymes on this board (don't mind them...not like they are brave enough to post theirs).

Actually, most of the rhymes and poetry in here isn't wack, that's why you better come right if you want to flow here. (It's actually a friendly place. We're just trying to sound hard.)"

That ish is wack. I've always hated that. It's belittling to the art on here, even if it says 'just kidding'.

It used to say something better when okayplayer first started. Then all the forum decriptions changed and have been stagnant since. It would cool to just have it revolving every season are so.

And the okayartists don't post here because it would make no sense. Nobody will buy the cow if you give the milk away for free.

Let's have a contest to come up with a new description, and we could maybe archive all the good ones to pick from in the future.

Oh, but don't start complaining that it shouldn't be called the freestyle board. That stays.

What y'all tink?

agreed.... that shit has been wack from the first time I found it and I think it detracts from the ill talent that lies in here.

Look at the word more abstractly. Freestyle.

FREE

STYLE

It encompasses poetry, keystles, verses, collabos and audios.

While still keeping respect for the foundation that this site and community are based in.

Besides, if we ask for too much we won't get nathin'.

Pace yourself.

Peace.

One last time.

Is that the old skule Maverick w/ a new login?

WOW yo this is the greatest honor that could be bestowed upon my idea. My heart overflows that so many people agreed with my description. Blessed be all!

And from here forth let the record show that MaverickStar is the artist formerly known as "InGeniousPoet".

i say we archive this post so that it stays on the record that mav and toe got this started- damn i guess i should have put that in the cleanup thread

and mav why you gonna tell us who you were if you went through all the trouble of changing your name? nice surprise tho

LOL man I had to get back to the old school when it was about just writing to get folks attention and not the name that draws the curiosity. Came out bc I doubt many folks will read this anyways, and TJ was wondering if I was a previous Maverick, so might as well be truthful. Good Look tho! This thread doesnt need to be archived, save it for the muses and emcees.... madd love

freestyle makes me think of just emceeing not poems or anything else..

change is GOOD! all of it should go!

they even had a contest where you rename all the boards (shit was on the front page).
weeks went by and they didn't change any of 'em. it's been several months now.

*Yuuuuup*

"Where okaypsalmist blend minds to inspire and insight one another in their quests for self revelation." just a thought. in a way, we are all psalmist and we do blend, so just a thought.

Maverick's joint is perfect.

yeah, i like Mavericks a lot better than mine. i gotta co-sign!

I actually post off the top everytime I put a rhyme or flow up on the boards. No notebooks, or paper, just random thoughts put together. So the name "Freestyle" is fitting in my opinion

we're not changing the name of the forum, just the description.

Victory is ours.

Democracy in action.

Pride in poets.

Emcees get free!

Thanks.


Much respect.

it actually changed

this has come up before and i figured that once again it wasnt gonna go past the level of talking

mav's joint WAS perfect and im glad we didnt change the name

im real glad this went down the new description is much more in line with what we doing on here

(((Much Appreciation))) -- :)


~Excellent Suggestion & Input~
