Text is more direct you have to keep the person reading and IMO self-glory isn't a way to keep me interested...audio is mainly flow and rhyming/pronouciation so yea you can get away wit it but not too much...but self-G bars are wasted in text battles...it's gotta be creative from a dissin point of view otherwise it wouldn't be a battle would it?

All your examples were songs, not battles....

no but I agree with him. ONE bar shouldn't be a bad thing.

self glory's ok when freestyling,but when you're givin the time to think
Jesus diss the dude.I would prefer it be all personals too lol You god damn right bitch.

now want some grapes? pancakes?

^your mom?.....................

in text it just wastes space, basically filler. and when in a text battle and youre dissing theres really no need for it.

lmao i forgot "RV's" text rules sooo lol... i cant speal on text.. but in audio to MANY self glorification lines in a battle will start me takin off points.. i mean there cool and all for FILLER.. but you still need punches son

I always have self glory in my verses... well like one or two bars anyway... You cant just say some wack shit like

im the coolest, you know rap? well I was the first to do it
the bullshit you say isnt affecting me, like I was fuckin stupid

If you do decent shit voters dont seem to mind. Like my battle with Kill Switch. I use self glory in that, you all should go and look at it and vote on it...................... :rolleyes:

wtf get on aim slut.

wat if u glorified urself in a line then compared the other person to it while dissin them at the same time, how u sposed to vote on that and evry1 says yeah dope wordplay etc etc if sum1 has really good wordplay but the diss aint that good they still get the vote for it, thats basically sayin its alrite to do that but not alrite to self glorify! :huh:

Good wordplay is dope though. If something makes me laugh or go OH SHIT because of how dope it is, and the other dude had none of those lines... I know who id vote for..

No, they were battle songs. I didn't say nothing about freestyle battlin, cause no one on this site does that.

No, but I would like waffles.

I just don't like reading self-glorifying stuff in a text battle on the net, if you work it out as a creative punch I don't mind but I don't see it a lot unless when the cats are new or wanna act tough so it's all good...

hell yeah
makes sense to me
if u text battlin, nobody wants so sit up and read about how u not dissin the other guy... in an audio diss *which also happens to be a fuckin song on a CD* u wont always have every single line to diss him. in Nas's songs where he was like "name a rapper that i aint influence" he was really just sayin that JAy-Z dont influence anybody and pointing out that nas influenced jay-z...
also when he said the thing about guest appearances, he was saying that Jay-z's 1st album had biggie and foxy brown, nas had no famous ppl but still had a better album. its not really self glory- he's just pointing out how he's better.
