Battle or Open Mic Wise? I Can Help You...

i need some help with tha battle side of things

battleing online i think is tough just because you cant see your opponent. unless he goes first, then you can dissmantle his ryme. other wise the shit may as well be pre written cause you dont really know his faults or what he looks like.

another trick to battling is word manipulation.... try thinking of everyday phrases or slogans and flip them to fit into a punchline

Yeah those are good points^^^

plus like take a phrase like Rich said and think of multiple meanings for it..

like i was battling Father flow on another site
and i had a line that said he sucked------ then i thought about people who suck like chicks that give head and then vampire

Vampires suck blood... so i'm like aight how am i gonna flip this?
So then i took blood.... and Aids popped in my head

So then i came up wit

When you grab the mic you start shakin, cuz u're scared u'll suck
like a Vampire around an aids patient....

Its like a big process.....if you got a concept in ya head.. dont give up on it... keep goin wit it and somethin decent might pop in ya head.... Trust me man i'm still learnin this shit... Tryin to get better cuz i need a lot of work.....

peace

Yea personalas are good, but only if everyone gets em, otherwise people are like what the hell.. lol.. Its all about wordplay and comedy, Everyone likes to see something that makes them laugh and is also clever... Usin phrases and such and flippin them around is a good way to start, pretty soon it will just come to you.. Elevate... Peace

Yo here's so advice.. pick up some good albums to open
your eyes up dogg.. so cats like my nigga- Benefit, Canibus,
Chino XL, Juice, and a little eminem you'll be straight on which
path to follow

Isn't it a weak point to use retaliation at someone's verse?

its all about the flow....n punches...big punches

yeh use a pun like something everyday and flip it to a hit

like something that can mean two different things

i just try to come up with some thing that is a dis to your opponent that everyone gets. Just keep workin on it, you will get better.

i look at it this way....there are 2 types of disses.theres the punch which is usually a line thats funny and consists of wordplay. then theres a diss. a diss is pretty much just comin straight up and tellin them whatever you wanna tell em'. usually theres no humor in it, it's usually one that'll make you say, "damn that was harsh". in online battlin...you gotta use punches, that's what everyone wants to see. so yea...work on wordplay

if punches don't work just say something crazy. Immortal Technique does something like that IE "lets stop with all the lies, i'll shoot ur mom and fuck the bullet hole until she dies." That kind of stuff can work pretty good . thats what i do if i can't think of someway to diss you then i'll say something like "this guys my biggest fan/i 'll fry ur dick with out oil so ur cock sticks to the pan"

everything that was stated above is good advice. Now my two cents. humour is an essential in a battle. If you can make the audience, judges laff at the person your batteling you got an advantage. How you do that is hard especially on the net like someone mentioned. However, for those who've seen 8 Mile can testify to this, you can use a persons history against them. Read some of they're open mic stuff, they're previous battles, who they lost to, who's in they're crew etc. Thats all i gotta say and please dont mind my subject verb agreement errors. Peace
