The Difference Between Text And Audio Heads...

IP:

Okay...there is a lot of controversy surrounding "text rap". In my own mind, text is NOT rap. Rap lyrics, yes...But not rap itself.

Rap is a genre of MUSIC. Not words on a screen.

Text heads can cuss up and down saying that it's rap...but frankly it never will be.

Text Battles: Poetry that disses someone.
Topical Battles: Poetry.

You may be "dope" at text...but guaranteed any normal text head that comes into audio for the first time will find his or herself wack as hell...for the simple fact that they do not know how to display their lyrics into music.

That's the difference.

far from true.... first off all you need to understand how to count music and then your syllable count to the size of each bar, learn to control your breathing properly, aswell as writing to make your flow more interesting but also smoother and switch up the flow and rhyme scheme.... it takes longer than a week to pick up the basics of flowing to a beat properly, it takes a whole lot longer to master making it interesting and dope

Man, shut the fuck up. We already know the difference between text heads and audio heads. Text heads do text. Audio heads do audio.

Lmao. Word. I realize text isn't rap. I just do it for fun and shit. I don't think anybody on this site will claim that text is rap and stuff.

Who the fuck text heads are even saying that what they do is rap?

Last I checked most people had come to this realisation a long time ago..........

WTF are youtalking about Will, your flow is horrible

not everyone can flow on a beat, it's not "easy" for some people, if you can naturally then you gotta work on other things, but not everyone can flow properly just starting out...I never had trouble with it, but it's just not simply being "natural" for every person to flow on a beat the right way...most people are really shaky when they first start out and need a lot of work on their flow...some people here on RV that are considered "vets" at audio need a lot of work on their flow
