RE: V4vapid Presents: Tin Foil Raps - A Paranoid Rhymes Contest - Winners Announced!!! [170 + STEEM Prizes]

in #tinfoilraps7 years ago

Thanks for the competition, and for the hefty upvote on my entry. I have been thinking about adding a few more verses into my piece and recording it as a proper song. I have been drawing a lot of inspiration from your recent competitions, and it is clear that many others have too.

I hope you will keep doing what you're doing, mate.

Dude, I loved your entries so I had to give you a bonus upvote. You know, some people have suggested that I make an add-on to this contest as well. Like take the winners entries and hold a contest for who can put it to a beat or music the best...I'm seriously considering it.
Glad this contest is bringing out the best in Steemians :)

I like the sound of that a lot. It's a far more difficult task, so I imagine you would get less entries. But, after just checking out the winner's entry, I am curious to see what people can come up with. That was a really fucking great song.

I have some ideas for other potential contests that revolve around conspiracy theories, and that will be able to give artists and other creative types an opportunity to jump on board too. Chances are you have probably imagined some of them already, but if you ever do find yourself stuck on a competition brief, give me a shout and I'm sure I can provide you with something that is likely to bear a lot of fruit. (And because we live in this world, I feel it necessary to mention that fruit in this context refers to powerful entries such as @jamesgetsit's entry to this one. Not money and bitches. Lol.)

Yeah, I agree that it would have less entries but that's okay with me atm ;)

@jamesgetsit freaking killed it! and the video assemblage was really great considering the time constraints.

George Bush clip talking about terrorists and the red arrow next to his head, LoL

While I do have a bunch of contest ideas and several variations, I'm always open to suggestions. If I need some help or I feel stuck I'll definitely take you up on that :)

My problem usually isn't a lack of ideas, it's mainly finding the time to bring them out of the idea stage and into the world.

I agree. That shit was on a completely different level to the other entries that I saw. You definitely picked the right winner, and I doubt anyone disagrees.

My problem usually isn't a lack of ideas, it's mainly finding the time to bring them out of the idea stage and into the world.

This is me right here. I am literally an ideas machine. But, I either lack the time, resources, expertise, or willpower to realise most of them. I have been thinking about starting an open-source creations type project where I just continuously write pilot chapters, or plot summaries for books and short stories and just let those who have the real talent with writing bring the story to life and to completion. Your last competition gave me a really good idea for another story too.

By the way- here's a useful competition brief I was thinking of that you may like. I was thinking you could call it something along the lines of "Sound the Alarm." But, the name isn't important. The goal would be for participants to create something, be it poetry, fiction, art, music or anything else, that can "wake people up." The fruit of such a contest could serve a very useful purpose, at a time when I think the world needs it most. But, I would also look to find a way to get the best entries out there into the world beyond Steemit.

What do you think?
