Text rap is gay, you know why, cause you text people made it that way.

Instead of good lyrics, and individuality, and ill-skill-will wit da words (which is how you get respect in real life). You got the exact opposite in text. Little kiddies who think callin' each other gay, and going into distrubing detail about homo activity, think thats what makes a good emcee. "Never mind style and creativity, let's see who can spit the gayest". On top of that, many people pack their bars with so much bull shit, that one bar will run over to the next line, fuck the rhythm right? So to try to gain respect in the text is like aspirin to be the best ball player in
Lithuskechislavakia, where they don't know little or nothing about what the game is, so they run with their own interpretations

My advice....skip the text and put all your effort into audio, because hip-hop is meant to be heard, not read...

Good advice, Legend. No beef meant with this, but why so many losses? Are those from text battles or audio? Tryin ta find out which is harder.

man just do you thing no matta on open mic or audio if you spit that real shit respect will come

WORD TO YO MOTHER!!

If You Wanna Earn Respect Then Dont Beef TOO Much, Peep Shit And Give Truthful Replys And Advice When U Do., Even If Its A MC U Dont Like. But Respect On The Net Is Retarded Soundin Anyway Kinda, To Me

Could it be that Mr. Legend is 1-8 for a Reason??? hmmm..lol

HELL yeah that shit is from text battlin. That "spit nice and respect will come" is BULLSHIT. They've incorporated politics in this shit. If they don't like you (personally), then they'll vote against you (never mind if you better). They got cliques of IM buddy's that go behind the scenes and say "hey, come vote for me right quick".
So I would get shit like, "yeah legend was better with the punches, and more creative, but mc whatever killed him though!"
huh?
I love Hip-Hop, and I couldn't comprise it for anything, even if the other cat is better than me, even if I don't like the MF, and he spit somethin to make my eyebrows raise, I'll vote for him. These cats would come in and diss anything I did, sayin it was horrible, and totally absolutely wack! Like I just started rappin yesterday. I ain't the best that ever did it...yet, but I'm light years over these kids. I've been rhymin since '88 son, my freestyles be better than some of dem.

& I've been here for about a year, before the automatic voting shit, and the Mods had to update records themselves. Needless to say they fucked my shit up, and refused to fix it. Then when I came back, they had this automatic crap. The losses may be right but the wins are def not.

They need somethin like a Quality MOD, somebody to peep that shit out and watch it, becuase it's makin the text aspect of this site gay...

Yo jus always spit 100 %,try and battle vets but if it's a newb only thing u can do is win,so do it with style,also do audio coz txt is cool but most shit done in text is too complicated for audio or doesn't sound real when u spit,so write always as if your rappin it or jus keystyle.Also jus be urself and don't let tha haters get to ya,yo theres always gonna be haters whether it be beef or jealousy or jus ignorence so jus keep it real and be true to urself and the culture.

peace

Ok west I agree to a certain degree, but where your wrong is spittin like you rhymin. When I did that they said it was basic, when the other cat had two lines per bar. I experimented by loading up my text bars with bull shit that was impossible to rhyme to a real beat. I made it look just like theirs, and added some gay references. They told me I elevated...wtf?

What we need is real MC's in there votin, especially audio cats, so we can teach'em that that shit is wrong. We like, washed our hands of text, and they're going in the wrong direction.

Shit I remember they had this garbage gay dude beatin me, and I remember thinkin' where are the real people at.

They're tellin newbies to do like this or do like that, ad it's wrong.

A good way to tell if your somewhat nice is to compare your self to proffesional MC's. Listen to their words, listen to the structure, and delivery, and compare it to your ish. Theres not one MC in the rap industry that talks about gay shit in every verse they spit!

The occasional "you a faggot" is cool, but anything further than that would make you suspect....

Fuck You

^^^Perfect example^^^
