Some of you raise a good point, varentineo and one other person said that its more of a stage, the older heads whove done it longer and are better left and now we're becoming the dope ones. Thats a better way to look at it, we'll see if it comes true. I wonder how these newbies compare to quo's skill level when he was new to text ? probably about the same ..

I think that rapbattles.com can be compared to the business cycle? Hopefully i'll be correct as I explain myself.

This site consists of 4 stages: Depression, Recession, Recovery, and prosperity.

Now it seems to me, by what is mentioned...is that Rapbattles.com was at prosperity maybe back in 2002....since I am hearing names like Bare Knuckles, Shadow, etc... all were around near that time peroid.

Now I'm guessing that has died down and right now rapbattles.com is experiencing what is known as Depression where the site has literally plumetted to the ground.

I think this has probably been one of the best posts i've seen made seen I've came to rapbattles.com. Since you are making it public that drastic changes must be made...which can only result on Rapbattles.com experiencing recovery, then prosperity, then recession, the depression, and the cycle will continue until this site eventually dies.


Now before I really start to start not making any sense...i'll jsut shut my mouth.

Someone should find verses by Bare Knuckles....Shadow...or whatever the "dope" heads were back in '02.......and post them so we can see why we suck so much dick?

Well your comment is true Horud...but there aren't too many people here who brag about how good they are at audio...most are just doin it for fun.

And in anything you do, der is a very very high chance that there is somebody who is better than you at it. Skill isn't the only factor that decides who goes famous in anything...Usually it is determined by luck and who is most commited...then a bit of skill on the side.

Young Gunz fits what I am saying.

I agree with alot of the statments hear.. But first off isnt Quo aka Slowhands from the old Rb???? Lmao if so he Has gotten some what better.

i dont see need in spitting anything near a good verse in text either way, yes if your a newbie sure shoot att your "greatness" into one verse, maybe it will help, as far as text goes i do not belive there is a limit you can reach for greatness, although text comes to a point that sez

"grab a fucking mic, save the money you kids get from your parents"

I dont see a point in working hard in my verses for any battle ive done since i changed my name.. theres no point so i just type it up real fast. Keystyle ( LoL is a good oxymoron)

As far as somthing that was spit back in the day of old RB

One of the illest lines ive hear.. Went somthing like

"It must be 6:30, cuz im winnin this battle hands down" - shadow

Whats fucked up is now half the newbies on this site are going to cop that line, flip it and spit it as there own, since thats what the magority of this board does.. read n respit.

Oh well, hopfully things will imrove ( doubt it though, RB has gone down hill for awhile even in shadows last days)
Whats worse half decent people are running mouth actting tough shit, voting is garbage, and Some one really needs to try moderating Front lines better.. I did my best at giving every battle a break down, in hopes to show how to give good voting, but there still MAD sleepers, and newbies running everywere

If anything i would move to label ONE account PER IP... Fuck that bullshit "my friends wanna post" to damn bad, its called a Libary..

All you people that are saying RB.com is in a 'depression' or whatever, are morons. Right now we are averaging more users per day than at anytime this site was up. The whole point of this thread, wasn't that RB.com is dying, it was that the talent on the site has gone down.
