to me it depends on the purpose of the battle..

If it's just a battle with a no-body for no money, nothing around..and just practice and a lil respect..I'd go in freestyling definitely..if im stuck pulll out one or two writtens from the past.

If there's gwop on the table..im not a fool, I want money..If I start..ill start freestylin...when he hit..if I know he's written or he jus that good..Ill hit em with mostly writtens with a few freestyles to humiliate him so I can get money..

yeah, you can deffinetly tell if they come back with a freestyle or written.
