You can use different types of disses in text, that is why I think the really good text heads have a tough time going audio. Believe it or not, there is no flow in text. Syllable counts don't fuckin matter unless they are horribly off, or you stretch the shit outta your lines. When people try to convert their text to audio, it seems rushed at some spots and too drawn out at others. The reason behind this is breathing and natural pauses, thus making the person sound off beat....

However, text heads tend to have much better punches and wordplay. It is easier to display your wordplay when people can see it. Plus people understand it better because they can go at their own pace. I think that text heads come up with better shit because they think of the punches first, and then they worry about making shit flow and all that other shit while audio heads worry more about multis and flow first and then they make sure the punches are tight.....

With all this being said, I am now considering myself an audio head. This has nothing to do with me thinking that text is wack because everything I just said should lead you to believe otherwise. I like doing audio because it is more of a challenge for me now. I did text for a few months and there are few on this site that can beat me, now I am moving on to other things. Text just got boring for me and audio is so new to me that I love every aspect of it.....I encourage everyone to try audio, but never forget where they came from
