It seems nice at first, then after awhile you peeps will realize that it's very limited in what skills you can actually show, plus it gets boring looking for people who actually know how to write a god verse. anywayz........yeah

Re: Text Is For Fags.
 

if you text, you dont sound like anything. coz its TEXT dumbass.

is there a point to this thread? most of the cats who post here dont own a mic so therefore cannot do audio.

Most of the people on this site probably text, so dough hostile suck yo muthas pussy bitch.

Have fun

Pz

Fucking Morons...

U R Gay For Making This Thread...Who Cares If You Do Text Or Audio...Your Still Just on a Fucking Computer So It Doesnt Make A Difference...Stupid Ass Imbecile...

As an old, semi-retired texthead [I still drop the occasional piece, every 4 months, lol], I'd say that it's not. Text is just a stepping stone that some people get stuck on.

Some kids don't want to move on, some kids don't have the means to move on, and some kids do both. Nothing wrong with it.

Sure, ill textheads might not be able to do ill audio, but can an ill audio head do ill text? It's a different medium. A different form of art.

The artist changes himself, and his tools, depending on the place he is at in his artistic ability.

that's wrd.

Fuck Off.
Whats gay is making threads saying "text is gay" ...

I do both.

And think about this, with text people concentrate more, and actually see everything you say.

You must be only talking about text battling.

Cuz saying that about people who post Open Mic's, and Poetry is just fucking retarded.
People who do like battle rhymes, or no topics or anything, all that and post it up in text...that I think is fairly dumb...but whatever

Some people can't do audio, no mic, really slow computer, whatever...

So again, Fuck Off.

ok. again. ive been here since like uh when fuckin shadow used to battle n shit.

back when rage used to free here.

N demik i dunno who u are loser. :D And Lowd Mowf what up!
Remeber Sickened Virus?
We used to be in the same crew in shit.

all im saying is text is rather gay, and i dont like it.

also. by saying u sound like a little bitch. most of them scared to use a mic cause they afraid to get tossed n shit.
i might key some shit in text but i dont battle text. too many biters if u see what i mean. some people drop ill verses on paper but got no flow on the mic and then some bitch bites you and spits it on the mic. and u making him what he is.

see what im sayin.

one

werd

i respect lowd mowf. thats my nigga :D

shit if they didnt reset post counts id be at like 6000 n shit.

DAMMMIT!!!!!!!!!

text is a way of gettin feedback on your shid. Open mikes and poetry.... peeps spend hella time to write a rhyme whater it is storry tellin or an abstract desing. lol

aoudio heads do the same shid post audio's to get feedback and to actually see if peeps is feelin their shid or not.

audio might actually get you somewhere.....

txt is good to uper your rhymes to a certain exten,but when peeps get stuck on it... that just seems to be a fake career...

Well, I don't text battle and I don't audio battle. I find battling to be rather pointless and stupid. It's not what defines my true skill. I write about concepts, I don't do pointless pieces containing punchlines and take cuts at an invisible opponent. I think battling is dumb.

Secondly, I don't have the urge to buy a microphone because I don't have the time or patience to make beats and mix it all in and shit. Plus, my house isn't exactly the quietest house in America.

Thirdly, if the flow doesn't appeal to you, then don't listen. Just because you think they don't have flow doesn't mean that they lack a flow of any kind. They are just different.

Fourthly, I post my pieces up when I finish them. They usually are months in the process but sometimes I will get a great idea and jot the whole rough draft down and tune it up later that night. Either way, I will post it up on the net. But I take safety precautions. I keep the original sheet and almost everything I used in the process of making the piece. This way, the man who stole my shit and made money off of it can't say that I copied off of him because I have the original and all index cards I have used for that piece as well. Plus on sites like these, they tell you when the posted date was, so I am pretty sure no one will be able to steal my shit, publicize it and make money off of it without me finding out some way or another.

"Thirdly, if the flow doesn't appeal to you, then don't listen. Just because you think they don't have flow doesn't mean that they lack a flow of any kind. They are just different."

i dont see how text can have flow. :D
the flow comes out when you say it. but if u said it....you are most likely going to spit and then go into audio.

holla at my boy over there that said text seems like a fake career.
it kinda is. cause i dont know one sick ass mainstream textcee...but i do know some mainstream netcees (audio heads) for you incoherent types...

You said "Some people drop ill verses on paper and no flow on the mic."

Just because you think they don't have a flow doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have a flow, it just means that they have a different flow that you are not used to.

I never called textceeing a career. Only thing being a textcee has done for me is allowed me to advance and elevate my writing skills. That's all. So if you want to be a dope ghostwriter, textcee all of the way. But I can't record music because I have neither the time or equipment.

a_lot of nice shit has been said here in this Thread

Text maybe old and boring but do you really get any_where
posting Audio all day

I mean, Audio is good if you're going some_where with it

If your just on RB posting singles you mid_as_well be in the
same category as us Text Heads

Were not going any where and your not going any where

~1~

shadow has never battled on this site you friggin liar.

yeah he has. when he first opened rb he battled like 60 sumthin times. the guy is like 67-and 8 i believe?

he battled here back in the day.

I do text.. I do audio.

The illest at both

Cant fight that.

I don't think text is for fags. Some people can come up with mad crazy rhymes that are incredibly sick, but they cant keep a beat. So for people like them, i guess text is there only way to represent. Thats just my opinion.

Or you can just do both and be fine.

Shadowed battle Highlight on RB once.

That's all. Kid's full of shit.

"holla at my boy over there that said text seems like a fake career." Someone said dat.

If there is ANY1 who thinks they can get a career off text battlin then they have to be the single most saddest no hoper muthafucka who needs to get back in skool and learn shit or two... hell get a real job.

I text battled cauz i got real bored and a friend told me bout it. My rhymez r weak as piss but its all for entertainment purposes, not that im sayin this is the only thing i do for fun. Hell no!

I dont think text battlin and shit is gay as u would call it but i think the concept of ppl gettin a big head or gettin a career upper of text battlin has to be the:

>>> SINGLE MOST WHACK LOSER IN THE UNIVERSE<<<

^Maybe if you did text a bit more you'd learn how to spell :p^

who gives a fuck its da net. who the hell needs to be punctual? wat? u gonna spell check for me now?

Ok, your talking about text not having flow...Ok, when you write your audio's...there's now flow?

You can also read shit out loud...:whacky:

And whats this shit? "mainstream textcee" wtf? First off, who cares about fucking mainstream. Second, who says any of these guys wanted a career? Or wanted to make there text anything more then what it is?

"words of a man who votes his own opinon on his own poll"

words of a herb with newbs on his ripped list.

Totally agreeing with Brukor. If there is anyone who does wanna get something out of typing their stuff over the net then they need help. Hey look I'm even spelling everything right. Hehehehe.

Good on ya Brukor.

ok thats enough from this thread.

honestly i just wanted to see who else thought text was gay, and there was no reason for people to start insulting each other becausse of each others opinions.

good points have been brought up in this thread forthose who are pro and anti text.
:D
ill see you guys around in the audio lounge.

fuck off text is da shit

no hatin on me for dis vote

Re: Text Is For Fags.
 

I think you already answered your question....text is pretty lame,if you can afford the net,then you can at least afford to get a $15-20 mic to start with.Text doesn't do too much considering flowing in text is different then flowing to a beat,plus a lot of punches in text would sound gay in audio.You don't have a beat to take advantage of....it isn't as moving,plus nobody sells text albums....the only place a text album/track will get rotation is in a paper shredder.It is better to go straight to audio and write songs to beats.Even if you don't have a mic, you could at least cypher in the streets or something until you can get one to get you started....their is no excuse for someone to say they can't get their hands on a mic...go to a friends and use theirs,save your pennys or something,you could benefit a lot better from it.You don't get signed to a label for text,you don't buy text tracks,text is only half of it.So yes text is pretty pointless,eventually you textcees will wake up and realize this and eitheir make the transition to audio like most,or part way from rap.

^^Aiight, I avoided this thread for the most part after I posted my thoughts, but this kid is going to make me post again.

I know this might be a hard concept for a lot of people, but you peopel saying that text is pussy, aren't the best audio heads. I've peeped some of you, and you're garbage, you have a lot of places you need to improve. So, instead of picking on a medium that made you medium possible, why don't you give them credit and stop forgetting your roots.

Everyone came into audio through text, very rarely does somebody just jump into the audio scene with a mic. On or offline, it's the same thing. People don't just hop in the booth, they write shit to their favorite song, and tweak and edit it. They make sure that their lyrical basis is set in their writing before they move on to that vocal step. The writing is the foundation for audio, 'cuz anyone can run on a mic and talk bullshit (like some of the emcees at RBs), or you can think out the verse[s] and spit them with heart and feeling, because they came from you. You can relate to your material and make sure that it expresses what you are feeling at that time.

Another point I plan to make right here is this. I know you have heard of "ghost writers," who do nothing but sit around and write!!! So, the people you are making fun of, mocking, and calling "bitches" could very well be writing the material you are nodding your head to a few years down the road. Respect writing as another aspect of hip-hop.

Graffitti, b-boys, scratching, freestyling, ghostwriting, popping, flexing, etc., is all a part of the hip-hop culture. You cannot have one without all of the others. It's a mind-set, not a "level." Everything is on the same level, your skill is what determines what "level" you're on. I know some textcees that could bitch audio heads by posting a quick 16 bar keystyle. So, audio is by no means "better" then audio.

I know it might be weird, an audio head, defending the text kids. But I used to be a text kid, and I used to struggle and sweat and work on my material until I knew that you could read it and get the vibe I wanted you to get. It's hard work, and when it's done well, there is no knocking it.

Text and audio are just the skin of an emcee, their skill and talent is what makes them "bitches" or "ill."

SO READ THE SIG, 'CUZ MUH'FUCKAS \/\/\/

yo u no what man, text can be more difficult then audio if u really sit down n think about it. You cant take words that dont rhyme, and rhyme with them in text like u can in audio. Audio u can change the way u say shit and so many people do that. So before u go off sayin text is gay maybe you should think about it all in perspective homie.thats all ther is to it, if u say text is gay then u really aint shit, prove ur good
