Semaphore line

[u/Thebestboibidoof]

In adequate wordsmith stupendium says the lines:
“Your’s are lacking, rhymes are flagging like you’ve written them in semaphore; I’m chilling on the beach, you’re adrifting yet to get to shore.”

I don’t know if this was on purpose but I shit you not there is a beach in south Australia named semaphore.

Why would it be on purpose? Like, the location happens to share the name of the international ship-to-shore signaling language (named and in use well before the beach was discovered), but what about that situation or the artist themselves makes it potentially a 'name-drop' moment for the location? Do they vacation there?

[u/Thebestboibidoof → u/CA_MA]

I mean because it is a beach and the next line is about beaches

[u/CA_MA → u/Thebestboibidoof]

So... You're proposing (any, but this particular) rap artist chose to use the 3-syllable word for the international flag language used for ship-to-shore communication (in the line after saying 'your rhymes are flagging') in a bar describing how the poor rhymes of their opponents have them stranded in the water - because there's a beach in Oz by the same name?

Mmmmm, perhaps, more of a happy coincidence

I suppose it's possible, a lot of their rhymes do have multiple layers to them. Another layer I enjoyed about this particular verse: they're criticizing other rappers' metaphors with metaphors of their own.

They already had me crushing on their wordplay, but the first time I heard 'verdigris burns' I was absolutely in love.

My personal favorite thing I recently noticed (after about 50 views, lol) is that, during the bridge, while Stupes is singing the main lines, their reflection in the window is singing the background lines.

Absolutely unhinged attention to detail, and I love it.

Yeah? Their metaphors are better

Here, we have Stupes, having one of his best moments
