I decided to scrap the vast majority of my previously concocted lyrics. The elite lines will stay, but my writing process and such had evolved so much over the past year that I can't possibly use lyrics from when I just started. I don't feel as hypocritical/contradictionary anymore either.
Honestly, it feels like the breath of fresh air that I'd been seeking and it has gotten my ass motivated.
Anyone else ever do anything like this? Did it work out for you?

can't say i ever scrapped rhymes or rhymebooks before. i do a lot of different things throughout different writing processes that i go through though. it's always good to be able to go back and look to see how far you've came. it's good that you can see and realize your own progression.
for instance, i don't usually write to instrumentals. i usually just write and then mentally classify the different writtens into categories. that way once i do get to record or i'm sent beats i can get the feeling from a specific track that coincides with the specific feeling that a written might project. then i match those up and see which of the writtens fits the best. if that makes sense.
another thing i do, when i reach a certain point in a rhymebook where i feel like i've used all the dope rhymes that i have during the time period i'm writing i stop cold turkey and start a new fresh rhymebook.
hopefully something i've said is helpful.

am i the only one that writes songs at a time? like, instead of writing a shitload of rhymes and then picking ones that relate and calling it a song, most of my songs are basically a series of unrelated but creative rhymes that i happened to write down on the same piece of paper to the same tempo.
