"Can we change the description of "Freestyle Board""


          

"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?

6. "Lyric board?"
In response to Reply # 4


          

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.

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".

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

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.

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
