CompassSaviour takes it up the butt!
Thing is tho, some people post utter trash.

Never post your first lyrics. They will be garbage, I speak from experience. My first lyrics (back when I was 10, all of.... 12 years ago lol) and my first beats at 14 were garbage. Wait until you've written for yourself for about 2 years before posting anything. More than likely you'll have a decent rhyme because you've got 2 years experience under your belt, and you know how to convey ideas much better.

That's the best advice I can give. When people post their first rhymes, what kind of critique am i supposed to give? "Fix everything". I can't tell him or her how to fix what they wrote when they don't even have their own style. I can't tell them what to fix if they've never gone about fixing their own rhymes in the first place.

People come to the Dojo thinking that they'll be good in 2 months (or less) because of all the feedback they'll be getting. TIME is the best feedback of all, trust me. Anybody who's been writing for a while knows, that when they go back and peep their earlier shit, it's fucking awful, and they can't believe they wrote it. Why post these rhymes on the net for everyone to see and say it's whack? It makes no sense.
