bruce lee used to talk about jeet kun do
(his own brand of martial art) as an adaptable
fighting system. meaning, if you were facing an
opponent who suddenly starts whupping your ass
w/ some kickboxing, you adapt to the situation w/
a workable style that can kick ass back. he also
talked about it being like water: fluid, changable,
never fixed or stuck in 1 style. there's a bunch of
missing footage from 'game of death' where he
expands on this theory in the middle of a fight; i
saw this footage recently & it applies to lyricism &
specifically all this talk of 'style.' (lynch's 'season'
style vs. 'lbi' style.)
the thing is, there isn't 2 different styles. it's the
same man flexing different muscles in terms of
delivery, tone, words, metaphors, etc. we used to
battle cats back in the day & lynch would use different
styles for different opponents. y'all might not be able
to picture him using an 'absract,' back-pack/hip-hop
style but i've seen him do it. those who fix themselves
in 1 style get pigeon-holed & gimmick-ized. (b-real,
beastie boys, rbx, fu-shnickens, das efx....where are
they today? besides b-real, these chioces of style have
put a ceiling on their careers.) trust: nelly's gonna have
a hard time of it in a few years. (although nelly knows it
& understands the nature of the game he's playing; i
may not dig his music but i respect his know-how &
business savvy. we'll be seeing him in movies soon
enough & i don't think in trite roles like ja rule has
chosen. nelly will parlay it into a viable career.)
listen to 'naked cheese' & 'corpse came to dinner'
by lynch, both from the same period of time, & you'll
see why i say there is no 'season' style or 'lbi' style.
listen to my 'plug nickel' vs. 'none to die for.' same
period, different styles. the truth is to choose a style
is choosing a short career in mc-ing. get past the issue
of style & y'all will better understand mc-ing in it's totality.
& lbi as a work of art.
