Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren't really about anything - which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.
Copy Quote View & ShareFilm and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like.
