ok but half the time I don't even know is that shit makes sense. Don't let these dudes fool you, I see a lot of people changin' their style just to win battles. And these faggots they changin it for don't even have the real meaning of hip hop. They can't even grasp what it's actually about. WHy? How do I know? They said this cat was better than me, cause he had better "punches". His punches referred to gay sex. Now if I took that attitude to the studio, or release that shit out on the streets, they would gay bash me. I be tellin these cat's, to be witty & unpredictable, these CHILDREN, snicker and think it's funny, to say gay things, cause their moms not lookin. The occasional, you a faggot is cool if not in access, but going into detail makes me wonder, why ae you sitting around thinkin about that stuff?
Another thing is that they have formed alliances beind the scenes (via IM) to win battles. "Hey man come vote for me, and I 'll return the favor", so the hip hop element is removed, and replaced by politics. There has been a couple of times when I spit and Ill verse, and some nigga come with the humpty dumpty and won. What gets me is they would come out and be like, "dude won, Legend is wack", no real explaination, and no one contests it so it gets added to the record.
I Pledged Alleigance to Hip-Hop, that's why I can't let this shit slide without sayin anything. I make beats, I write rymes, I record, Graffiti, breakdance, shows, all of that; so when I came to embrace a site that is Perceived as being hip-hop, cause I am Hip-Hop, they Shun ME? Why because most of Y'all don't know what the fuck hip-hop is, y'all don't know me. You people tried to study it's phasode and came up with your own definition, and ran with that. Fuck rythem, expression, clever rhymes, replace it with categories that really don't make sense? Wrong
DW, would be tight as hell with a little direction, he's got some tight lines up there. But if people keeppointing him in the wrong direction, he will fall.

^this shit doesn't make sense

People look at my verse and say "it's too simple", any professional MC knows that the listener has to understand. So people put a bunch of garbage in there verses cause people say it to simple. I don't text battle anymore for this reason, I did a couple of battles because I was bored, I'll stay in audio cause thats were people who are serious about this are. If your just a text dude, you'll never understand.
