Theyre two very different things. Text you've gotta worry about structure, stretching your lines, complex wordplay somtimes involving bolds/fonts/colors to tell the reader what the wordplay actually is. Audio you've gotta worry about what beat you're using, quality, flow, how to make wordplay witty, but still understandable without explination, delivery, what to write about over the beat... etc

So when a text head starts talking shit to an audio head, its like a ballerina wanting to dance battle with a breaker.

And I think people that do audio feel superior because its a bit closer to being a genuine MC. Writing lyrics is an important part of rap, but spitting lyrics is more important. We didnt see LL and canibus having a text battle..



and yea, i see where your coming from

but the point i am trying to make is that just cuz you do audio doesnt make you some sort of god, and just cuz sumone does text it dont mean they are ultimately wack as fuck at rapping, which some audio heads (leady in particular and a few others) seem to think

and yea in a way audio is superior to text

cuz it takes a whole lot more to pull it off
but that aint to say textcees are wack cuz they dont wanna go and spend their money on a mic so they can come and battle with some nerd on an internet site
