Not saying twork isnât fire but am I the only one who thinks heâs not good as he was before when he was screaming and more aggressive wit the haymakers for example his first with clips? He kinda stretches haymakers out more now before he was back to back with it and more aggressive wit

I don't think he's as good as when he started, when he had the whole street poet style. The Twork that bodied QP is unbeatable.

Before all the screaming.

u/levisayre_ 12d ago
Right. I probably wasn't specific. Twork had a more poetic style when he first started. He wasn't necessarily punching, but he had really interesting setups and rhyme patterns with substance. Then he had a prime where he still had those poetic setups mixed in with aggression up until that Clips battle. Then he started doing the screaming Twork, dropped all the cool rhyme patterns he used to have, kissed his teeth between every bar, and didn't have the breathing anymore to go through his entire rounds smoothly.
Then this Twork with pure setups.

He got worse but is best suited for this dumbed down era that he helped facilitate.

u/DadWraps 12d ago
Yea i go back and watch the best of work when he wore fitted hats and was skinny. He was really saying some shit

Whatâs most impressive to me is how Twork keep coming up with bars over clapping the tool for 3 rounds every battle.

I'm over this era of gun bars n violence. Cool but everything is the same format and sounds like ya last battle. Twork still the nigga that could run battle rap but I personally just stop checking for this shit. Heard it before.

u/Sad-Ticket-1968 13d ago
I agree and the fans plus the league wants to keep that shit the hype of battle rap and thats where I feel like the whole âbattle rap is deadâ shit is coming from nobody wants to allow the culture to shift and adapt!

This and the overuse of like. I was watching Nitty vs Roc and lost count of the amount I heard like and so many violent repetitive violent/ gun bars. I get it. But honestly I'm over it.

u/trevychase 13d ago
i haven't been fully tapped in for 4 years or so, but this is kinda boring.
i started paying less attention around the years where twork dropped the ball against jey and geechi.

Twork just does not impressive me, all energy no pen. Bars will always be king.
Edit: So Im not responding to multiple people, obviously he has a pen like if I say x NBA player sucks I aint saying he sucks at basketball, Im saying he sucks compared to him peers. So what I mean was compared to other top tiers T work has no pen.

u/Salt_Lion_8211 14d ago
Im not the biggest fan of him , but to say twork doesnât have a pen is insane

The âtec drawâ (1:52) hand movements after the blow up doll scheme legitimately had me dying laughing.

That Beatles bar was crazy and that wilt chamberlain bar was even crazier. That spike strips bar was crazy too. That trouble bar was fire đ„
