The Difference Between Text And Audio Heads...
 
Okay...there is a lot of controversy surrounding "text rap". In my own mind, text is NOT rap. Rap lyrics, yes...But not rap itself.

Rap is a genre of MUSIC. Not words on a screen.

Text heads can cuss up and down saying that it's rap...but frankly it never will be.

Text Battles: Poetry that disses someone.
Topical Battles: Poetry.

You may be "dope" at text...but guaranteed any normal text head that comes into audio for the first time will find his or herself wack as hell...for the simple fact that they do not know how to display their lyrics into music.

That's the difference.

True...but it's way way way more than that.

Delivery...emotion...breath control...

Man, shut the fuck up. We already know the difference between text heads and audio heads. Text heads do text. Audio heads do audio.

Lmao. Word. I realize text isn't rap. I just do it for fun and shit. I don't think anybody on this site will claim that text is rap and stuff.

first time I did audio I flowed on the beat right.

L. Veracity 11-15-05 08:40 PM

WTF are youtalking about Will, your flow is horrible :(

not everyone can flow on a beat, it's not "easy" for some people, if you can naturally then you gotta work on other things, but not everyone can flow properly just starting out...I never had trouble with it, but it's just not simply being "natural" for every person to flow on a beat the right way...most people are really shaky when they first start out and need a lot of work on their flow...some people here on RV that are considered "vets" at audio need a lot of work on their flow

YEAH, that explains why Im still in the RG worry free, and you're busy tryin to redeem yourself to still be in it.
:thumbup:

L. Veracity 11-15-05 09:01 PM

I'm in redemption cuz it was a TEAM effort, if I was in by myself I wouldn't have to have depended on someone else to post shit for me while I was at thsi place called work...that's where people making money go :)

and Jack The Jocker, Will does not "merk" me in audio, don't ever be mistaken into believing such petty foolishness...wait, have you ever even checked my tracks?...doubt it...I "merk" Will on flow alone, though it's not the only facet I'm above him in, it's the one we're talking about here and he does NOT currently surpass me in that department :thumbup:

TeamOne 11-15-05 09:04 PM

IF YOU actually truly think that I wouldnt murder / kill /destroy / oblierate / demolish / crush / shit on you in audio, then all that pussy juice you be swallowin is gettin to your head.

It doesn't exactly mean NOTHING point blank there good at what they d bu suddenly they thinkthere all that sitting on a computer writing some heavy vocab dissing 50 cent when the dude is actually audio and there not. they have a terrible flow that's not evebn listenable and all these other rappers that you are jealous of do.

L. Veracity 11-15-05 09:24 PM

Will, if you think you're so much better than me set up a battle, either now or once RG is over, doesn't particularly matter to me...I'll tell someone to pick a topic and we'll battle track for track :thumbu:

P.S. contrary to public belief, LV doesn't lick pussy

Sorry...my mistake.

Sure...lyrics. But rap is music my friend...

I still get lip from text heads...they're like "Let's battle bitch...10 lines and I'll own your ass."

I'm like... "Fuck that shit...audio."

And whats the common excuse..? "I can't afford a mic."

I use a $10 mic. I've never used a mic that has costed more than $100, and when I did, it was at a show, but it wasnt even mine.

I'm just saying text heads are not rappers.

Lyricists...yes...but not actual rappers.

I use a 30$ mic and i dont even battle BTW and i dont consider myself an MC I consider myself a pursuing hip hop artist, im all about doing what i do i dont have to do punchlines like all these other rappers do. I recorded a mess but give myself props for going up to audio instead of being stuck in a shell in front of a computer.

That's a good attitude to have.

And who says I battle..? I record at least two tracks a week...Music is a form of art.

And rap is music.

Dude...

I'm in my senior year of high school. I manage to go to school, write my books, do book signings, interviews, and all sorts of presentations, and record tracks.

Sorry..."Hip-Hop is music" then.

text and audio are one in the same
text/writtens on paper are the foundation for your music
you cant expect to have one without the other
You cant make a solid album otu of freestyles
so dont come in here acting all mighty
simply because your droppig audio on the NET
think loigically..some people either cant or dont want to
drop net audio
just because your rapping and have the technoligy and expense (not to mention time) to post your songs on the net
doesnt make you ay better than someone who is mearly chilling and posting there seed to the music you hear.

The written form is a simplicty form of the music.
you cant have one without the other.

.... that was sorta stupid. Sorry man just being blunt. But that was one of the most retarded things I've ever read.

K. If you think spitting on a website makes you a "rapper" then that's where you end RIGHT THERE. Seriously.. audio heads are just like text heads. Neither of you are getting anywhere with this website. You wanna be an MC.. then take it to your local clubs. Do shows. Do radio.. clubs.. fuck preform in front of your school. Anything man.

Second off. It's HIP HOP. Not Rap. Rap is a music genre yes. Hip Hop is a culture. Just because someone doesn't "rap" doesn't mean shit. I spit and I'd murder you point fuckin blank. But I don't "rap". That's like on some retarded Nelly shit. Rap is an industry term.

And yes.. of course someone who has never spit.. will sound shitty... www.soundclick.com/crystalmeth My old homie Robert.. RIP.. those are the ONLY audios he EVER did in his fuckin life.. he was a textcee named Epimetheus or Metheus for short. And I'll put anything to say he would have eatten you.

Don't say stupid things like this ever again.. thank you. Oh and show me YOUR first audio. I bet IT'S wack too. Thank you. Point made.

I don't think he's saying anyone's "getting "anywhere" on this website" by doing audios, he's saying he's actually "rapping" like a trumpet player would really play a trumpet. Text would be just tapping the valves and saying you play the trumpet - you may picture you are, and in your mind you hear that you are, but in reality, you're not. I think anybody can agree with that.
