Buddy, let me be the first to talk some reality to you.

YOU WILL NOT ELEVATE FROM WRITING CRAPPY TEXT PUNCHLINES...
Half the time they have horrible flow, one syllable rhyme schemes, bad attempts at jokes or pathetic 'hard to decypher' concepts with bad wording.. How do you honestly think writing this is going to help you elevate in writing rap lyrics?

Pick up some beats and start writing multis and try your hardest to write stuff that is as good as what professional rappers write.. Listen to a lot of music and understand how they word their bars and set out their verses, then create a style that incorperates good wording, multi syllable rhyme schemes and lyrics that people would actually want to hear over beats...

If you put your mind to it, practice your ass off and remember to always quietly rap your stuff to beats to make sure they flow well... You will slowly build up a style and notice vast improvements in your writing. Unless ofcourse you dont have what it takes mentally to be a good lyricist which a lot of people dont... Even audio rappers, a lot of the time, just dont have the talent to become anything greater than hobby emcees.. But atleast if you drop your shitty text styles and go for a more well rounded actual rap style of writing lyrics, you will elevate to whatever point you are able to elevate to..

Writing text actually will only end up fucking your style around and a lot of textees who think they are lyrical gods seriously dont have as much going for them as they would like to think. Plus they usually have only one style of lyric writing... Not all... Just 99%..

Elevate properly dude... Broarden your perspective..
Text is only for people who rap as a hobby and enjoy the competition.. Dont lie to yourself.... Text battling does not elevate anyone in a good way.. Textees only elevate to being 'better textees'.. Not better rappers..

I ain't being funny Nos don't take this the wrong way but IMO you could say the same for topicals...purely coz a few topicals don't have the same type of flow as audio it has that 'text type' flow as well only difference really is that topical is subjected on something...actually text & topical are both about one thing...except topicals have more deep subjects in some cases...

(i know you ain't done a topical in ages so don't get offended by the comment)

Look at the previous post I made in this thread dude, the one on the first page.. But yeah..

While the post you quoted was mainly directed at diss battling in text, ofcourse it can be applied to topicals..

And I dont see why I would take offence..... I think topicals are just as gay as the next guy.. But I do them as song writing basically.. I write all my topicals to beats like I was writing tracks more or less......(only diff is my actual songs have way better topics) When I bag topicals, I mean people who do them usually have no idea how to write lyrics and this is shown by the pathetically stupid styles they write with (as seen in my previous post)..

I used to do topicals though because they gave me more freedom to write actual song lyrics instead of silly little generic text verses. That will help you elevate because that is real practice (like said in the post you quoted).

Get what I'm saying?

sounds lame, and the king solo one was forced too.

Topicals wouldn't be that gay if people wouldn't put worthless imagary and vocab in it. I mean the shit gets annoying as shit. I always try to write an actuall song when I do topical battles. Not some "desperate thoughts of medicine like veiws wipe the metaphorical dirt of hiis facial structure" shit. And text battles wouldn't be gay if people wouldn't allow ppl to have streched flow. I don't give a fuck who you are. Nobody has a line this long..................

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and all filled with "quoted" wordplay. Write it so you can rap it too. And also when you do audio you gotta worry about delivery and emotion and finding a good beat. So its like text is elementary and audio is high school/college.

people try waaay too hard for creativity, cause you can't just straight up diss someone anymore, people see that as, boring, or non-effective......text has evolved in an anal retentive expression of hate towards someone you don't know....and its getting pretty boring because everyone thinks they are really good and know everything there is to know

meh, just do it for fun, its not getting you anywhere

blah blah, word.

I agree gay thread. I mean text battling is what it is. First off it's not audio, and like it or not punches that you would throw in audio battle people dont feel those in text. Yeah it is gay, but it's text battling, so people use wordlplay, sig, whatever they have because theyre not in a real battle standing in front of someone and able to use that to their advantage. Close this thread for GAYNESS.

This thread is about how gay text is dude... Difference is, audio lines sound good on audio... Where as half these text cats look stupid on text aswell... Thats a problem...

Therefore everyone should degrade text and turn people more audio and have text as just the secondry shit for little kids..............Hence this thread is good for creating properganda..

Left open...................
