I would make two edits which makes it a 178 and the chorus is 174 but the way you work with the internal rhymes "H-W, great" and everything starting from chicka cherry cola is 181 got damn sonnn you done did it again

lol. people talk shit but try, just fucking try, to write em verses that stay on meter. i don't think you guys really get how this works at all. ask TNSJ who did better. it's not just about being topical or working in memes. you have to do it strictly within the rhyme scheme. with eminem that's nearly impossible. but, of course, i can do it.

mfcr. I don't know TNSJ's song so I can't judge how he did. But I had to pass up references to boat shoes, Peter North, and Wiccan mom - DO THESE INGRATE NIGGERS THINK IT WAS EASY.

TNSJ is good at this, but it's like anything. It's like when people thought JP, who clearly did a pretty good job with the "Stan" parody, did a better job. If there is such a thing as an objectively wrong aesthetic judgment, it's that.
IDK, people just more strongly respond to the idea of lots of memes in a parody, I think, than faithfulness to meter. Another issue is that it's just hard to follow along with fast verses. C+C's "get them legs on my shoulders" was very hot, but I think a big part of the reason for the adoration is that the flow is so slow and so it's easy to read along with. cf. http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?forum_id=2&thread_id=1325822&PHPSESSID=82adc93fbf3f4927ed39b3168a568da7

just neggin ya, potna. I always appreciate your writing. never think your effort goes unappreciated, unknown. "send me a picture of your ass to be sure — but i know; i know."
when Leonardo painted the portrait of Ginevra de' Benci in the National Gallery, he put a juniper bush behind her head. In it he carefully painted each individual leaf. Many painters might have thought, this is just something to put in the background to frame her head. No one will look that closely at it. Not Leonardo. How hard he worked on part of a painting didn't depend at all on how closely he expected anyone to look at it. He was like Michael Jordan. Relentless.
