Battling is so pointless.
 
seriously it's turned into a joke

it was a joke before but now it's just a completely anal joke

other than the attention they might get from it, why do people still do it? is there any other reason?

cause i mean, fuck...everyone writes the same. even the ultra popular clever style lines are still boring and feel like i've seen them written by everyone else. unless your name is krossword you're not unique, and he doesn't even battle cause he's smart...and the other people who are unique, are unique because they completely suck and havn't learned to write like a robot yet.

people who blew ass a year ago are known as decent now...like zuch and jux and shit. no offense, well, actually i dont care but yeah, i read these verses and they're not worth raising my eyebrows for. no ones are except for maybe Nebs and that's it.

everyones the same. everybody writes identical to eachother. i won't even start about how voting has never, ever been fair...because that would just taint everyones precious win columna nd we can't have that now can we! storytelling is ok, "battle" battling or whatever the fuck u wanna call it, isn't...not to me at least

i'll say it again. battling is stupid and pointless and only good for the kids who wanna see their names in voting replies.




With that said - JOIN THE BATTLE LEAGUE.

Agreed- I hardly battle anymore. Ever. Its just a hassle, and not that fun anymore. Im speaking of net battling...in real life playing dozens and shit is just fun. Fooling around with your friends. I dont battle to get a deal, I dont want a deal. Most people on here just want a good rep or they saw 8 mile and got all giggles and excited.

But I will say that I enjoy doing topicals. Its more like using your mind to write...More intelligence...complexity...satisfaction and meaning..For me, sharing my creativity and deep-thought literature is not pointless.

MADD HAtter81 03-29-04 04:21 PM

hey i battle cuz i usally have bad days and i gotta take some anger off me i usally do open mics but battlin is fun cuz you dont know who you battlin so it's like a andventer

[♡]_Fuck_you_ho 03-29-04 04:37 PM

Voting May Not Be Fair - So ThereFore .. Why Battle.. EveryBody Has There Own Opinions, I Just Like To Battle For Fun And EveryBody Battles For Different Reasons Whether It Be For "Madness" "Fun" "Records" .. Or What Not' .. I Agree Battling Isnt The Same AnyMore' People Bite Lines Off Of MC's Other Sites And What Ever, But Still They Get Caught In The Long Run, I Mean Its Worthless To "Bite Another "Mc"' Or What Not' But Its Just A Battle Nothing Really To Hate About It. (Just My Opinion) Nothing More Nothing Less,!!! But I Do Agree With You Very Much So.

Khemistry 03-29-04 05:06 PM

who cares...some people like to battle...some think it's stupid...and you have every right to voice your opinion...but just because you are tired of seeing battles doesn't mean that everyone else is...me? i could care less...i think the site should go all audio...i battle just to keep fresh concepts coming...i use a verse to battle some one up here, and might take a punch or something and use it for a mixtape track or some shit...topicals is a different story...but we won't get into that....

The End 03-29-04 07:20 PM

That's why I prefer audio battles.


Anyway, are you IP banned or just name banned? Because I still feel the reasons why you were banned (while i was gone..) are gay.

Crossword 03-29-04 09:54 PM

I did a couple battles on this site. But i won't be doing much more. It got boring on here, and other sites suck. Battling is very boring now considering all of the people that bite, d/r, cheat. Annoying stuff, and too many newbie textcees that will end up beating good textcees. Stupid d/rin cheating bastardos. Yeah... it sucks.

Chris Black 03-29-04 11:44 PM

I could have sworn that I read this exact shit a few months ago. Anyway, text isn't fun for me, personally. I really wouldn't care enough to give a damn if other people think it's pointless or not. Eeeehhh, if people enjoy it, so be it.

soul. 03-30-04 08:54 AM

I`m about to quit all this net shit period, everything bores me even those gay ass open mics on sites like RNR,

Baron Mynd 03-30-04 03:35 PM

true. there's nothing i like about battling now, every battle verse ive posted over the last three months or so has been keyed in the reply box at the bottom cause i just dont feel the need to try now, and topically there arent many better than me right now.

Young Kidd 03-30-04 06:10 PM

the reason why i battle is to see how i rate compared to other MCs across da nation.batlling motivates me cuz i'm not in it for da attention of winning a battle i actually do it cuz i want to be defeated.i know dat may sound funny but if i lose then i would know dat i need to work on my skillz.to me losing a battle is better in the long run tha winning.cuz if i win all the tyme then i'll stop ryhmin all together.and if i do that then i'm turning my back on myself and the rest of the hip hop nation.

Lol.

I actually only posted that verse because they had banned my Baron Mynd name already ..

been doing that for 2 years now.. incase you didn`t notice in all the verses i`ve done

SPuLâ„¢ 03-31-04 08:32 AM

yea, the voting is unfair too. They should assign like 9 people who would be willin' to take the time and vote on most of the battles.

DeVaZtAtE MinDz 03-31-04 09:54 AM

word? Fuq battling. That stuff was hot like 2 years ago but, it done kinda feel off.

VitaL 03-31-04 10:24 AM

text battles are loosing whut they had about 5 years ago...

lol... i been doin this too long...

Audio is the way to go.

SNP 03-31-04 06:29 PM

You are one dumb fuck. Rappin is fun. We do it for fun. Its like a hobby dumb shit.. grow a dick and grow up

Enygma 03-31-04 07:16 PM

I just like new material...........battlin is an easy way to get new material and quickly rip it to shreads.......... it's just fun to me. I don't take it serious at all.

kid, ive done this whole `online hiphop` thing since '00, thats four years at least. you registered last month. im 18, som please, save the childish shit for some kid in your class at school. pfffft.

Crossword 04-01-04 08:02 AM

^ I've done it just as long. and it sucks now. in 00 it was still a lil shaky, but there were people with skill doin it. Now all the wannabe rappers that praise 50, or have a couple freestyles downloaded want to do it. And since they aren't coordinated, or smart enough to get on a mic, they have to type. The online freestyling shit has lost its amount of skill and its edge.

Krackmittens 04-01-04 12:14 PM

^^^ i agree a hundred percent

Battling is not pointless it's a great thing to do to sharpen your skills with the pen. You have to be fucking stupid to say that it is.

L.I. 04-04-04 03:50 PM

battlin for me is a getaway....u may merk sum1 or get merked but its all good....but yea i agree wit u baron

~Lady Fiya~ 04-04-04 08:34 PM

It's a good way
 
2 relieve stress from a bad day...
u seem pretty intense on the topic tho. If that's how u feel, then that is u...

Makro Physhal 04-04-04 08:37 PM

text is just garbage now, thats why me and my friends are converting to audio..

Ricochet1 04-04-04 09:49 PM

text aint garbage.. its a way to improve ya lyrics.. but hmm yea audio is much better 4sure

:laugh2: Then call me fucking stupid. I'm not saying it won't help you with other 'pen skills' But if you really want to work on them... then write. Cause unless you start beef with someone, you wont need most of this stuff in a song. I'm just saying battleing is pointless in text, there are so many ways of cheating and herbing your way out. But if you audio that shows true skills.

Enygma 04-07-04 11:06 AM

^^^ good point........

HeXen 04-07-04 12:01 PM

Man I total agree...wen i first came i thought i'd love to have a big rec so peeps can respected me...but do u ever see any of the big time rappers batllin'...da answer is NO!!well very rarly u seen or here them battlin'....so i agree with baron battlin' isn't worth shit....pz out :D

thats why i useually dont do text battles, just face to face battles, on the net they can go to a-zlyrics, and just bite that easly, ya kno, butin person u can kinda tell by the way they act or some shit like that, and u can tell if they free-styling or prewrittin spittin and too those of u who bite/prewrite.... :cussing: :shoot:(me) :help: (you) :gfy: :nono:

and u will become my :hump:

DeVaZtAtE MinDz 04-07-04 02:48 PM

I dont see why all the fuss over text battling? Personally I like a good prewrite battle because most ppl keystyles are @zz, not saying all ppl, but words don't do a song justice sometimes. Alot of mainstream songs are garbage on paper. Delivery and flow and a decent instrumental make a world of a difference. But yea battling is becoming on of those "lost arts".

SINISTER 04-10-04 10:08 AM

Totaly agree with you it is turning into a joke, i cant wait for the annonomus battle feature so pepole can stop dick ryding

R-Sinic Jaws 04-10-04 08:59 PM

i withdraw what i said ealier, i rarley battle anymore either. i would but i don't have time for the shit anymore. i just did it for noteriorty.

Shadows edge 04-10-04 09:09 PM

i dunno... i battle because i want to work on lyrical worldplay and stuff like that, and this gets me thinking, and its cool... im probably get burnt out soon and switch over mostly to writing... i mean i would do audio and mix beats and stuff if only i could, i mean im just a white boy from the burb :help:

i might start doing more music and maybe putting some out.. but mostly i do this shit because i consider rap a more interesting form of poetry for me... it's all about getting out and penning some cool shit...

don't do it if you don't want to, but no need to rag on people who are actually trying to do some real shit, is all im saying.. :shrug:

S-killz 04-10-04 09:24 PM

thats like asking why do ppl. breakdance, or why do people do graffiti?






why?







CAUSE ITS FUN,!

DUH! STUPID

Diagnose 04-11-04 12:22 AM

yea..I agree with all of ya..battling is alright..and it is more fun in real life cuz on net..you get to think..in real life..you have to come up with something at the top of your head which is alot harder

Diablo-Vice 04-14-04 10:56 AM

my opinion is different i battle cuz im always looking to get better so if i can see how better emcees use wordplay and multis and shit like that and make it all flow together it becomes a learning experiance

are you talking about the so called netcees here? or are you also talking about real emcees who battle outside of their closets? there is a big difference there. and yes most kids on the internet eventually fall into the typical rap battle style. especially over at your sister site. oh by the way that site is gay, and they IP banned me. so fuck them...but anyway let the little kats do their thing n shit. maybe a few of them will actually go out and get signed or something.....
