In audio you use all of those aspects, but in a more personal way.
Textees do little joke bars which is cause they usually dont know their oponent very well, which is a big reason why text is so gay and wont help you elavate.. Cause when it comes time in every emcees career that they gotta diss dudes, if theyve elevated at dissing by text? HAHAHAHAHA @ how embarrasingly pathetic their diss is going to be nit-picking at small aspects and making silly little joke bars. Hence... Text is pointless to anyone who wants to actually rap..

1-Ur wrong about that part where you claim text doesn't help you elevate.Nowadays..when I read my verses on this site from when i first started..i cringe and say to myself.."wtf wuz I thinking?".And when you cringe at ur old work..then that is a sign of elevation.Also..Not to mention..it's expanded my vocab..and really helped my flow a lot.Cause when i first started..i used a basic rhyme scheme.Now..I use multis and shit a lot.And thx to text(mostly in cyphers where we key up shit tho)..I finnaly know how to freestyle in real life.Only part you were right about in that 1st paragraph..wuz the part where you said cats use basic rhyme schemes a lot.I agree with that 100%.But text does help you elevate.
NOW..I have a big problem with the rest of ur post.One question I have for you is..
Why are you trying to tell someone else how to run their shit?If that person wants to do text..then let em.And if you think text is gay and audio is cool..then go do your audio and be.Just don't critize someone else doing their own thing.U were bassically TELLING that person to drop the text and do this and that.Which is bassically telling that person to do wat u do cuz wat u are doing is right and the other guy is doing is wrong.When i don't think you should do that.Your no god at this rapping or nothing.

I said that text will help you elevate to being A BETTER TEXTEE.. Not a better rapper.. You said yourself you mainly learnt from writing in cyphers most likly from writing with people who had good multis and gave you better ideas of how to set up bars or whatever..
Textees elevate in bad ways dude.. Its not untill they pick up a mic and start making songs that they realise where their going wrong and some still dont realise thinking their text is actually going to make for ill raps... Which is a complete joke, but it happens. That dude said he used text to elevate, yes I was
telling him that if he is serious about rap, get the fuck away from text and do audios.. What was implied and what I think you might of missed, is that if text is just a hobby, then by all means, stay doing ya thing.. But dont take on the mindframe that its going to make you an ill lyric writer in rap terms..
