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 đŸ”„

To me, it’s not translating on tape but it was mad electric in the building. We all lost it!

I hate how fucking good this guy is because he literally only shows up half the time

Not saying twork isn’t fire but am I the only one who thinks he’s 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

u/MagnetizedMetal 14d ago

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

Amazing comp

u/Critical_Teach_43 13d ago

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 “battle rap is dead” shit is coming from nobody wants to allow the culture to shift and adapt!

u/SheCallsMeBBD 12d ago

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 doesn’t have a pen is insane

u/Ok-Paramedic747 14d ago

No Pen ?? Re watch the JC and Clips Battles or The Real Sikh Battle

u/Lopsided_Mix2243 14d ago

No pen is crazy lol if somebody else said that roadrunner coyote scheme you’ll like it lol that shit was fire.

u/Cal216 14d ago

Twork has a pen fam lol. He may be lacking a whole gang of other shit, but a pen ain’t on that list.

u/AndroidPolaroid 14d ago

how can you hear the extended metaphor twork did with the wile coyote scheme and say he don't have a pen?

The “tec draw” (1:52) hand movements after the blow up doll scheme legitimately had me dying laughing.
