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

difference between text and audio
is text heads text heads dont have the time to invest in audio
just drop for the love of it as a hobby
and audio heads kid themselves by making tracks for the internet
then they talk shit about the text heads like they aint just as hopeless
if i wanted to do audio, i'd hit a studio....not my soundclick buddy

When did soundclick become a recording program?? If you're gonna make a point, at least have it make sense.

And it's not the time text heads don't have to invest, it's the money. who the hell ever goes "damn..I got all my audio equipment, but I don't have time to record, so I'll just drop text battles for the next few months."

But audio consists of flow, emotion, presence, breath control.etc where as text is just readable...



Text is not "rap". Text = lyrics. Lyrics + Music = Rap.


PS, only on the internet does "text" exist. no one text battles or does fuckin "topicals" (LMAO) in real life.

WiLL, why must you constantly resort to "penis talk" when having a discussion about who's better and who's not?...as I said, if yo think you're better, set up a battle and PM me the link...I might have time to whore you

P.S. any dick + LV's mouth = never

your dick + meat grinder = yes

the only way "text" is a part of rap is because people write down their verses

text heads write stretched ass bars that could never really be spit on a beat fuh real

it'll never be considered rap, text is just for people that are afraid to get on a mic

yes song writer's write, thus they're song writers...but text is not an "aspect" of rap in any way, shape or form...and "good song writers" know about bar counts and what wil and won't fit to beats...that's why they're "GOOD" song writers

This is exactly like saying "Why do you keep making model planes? Boeing's not gonna hire you as an engineer."

What's text? Text is an internet hobby.
What's audio? Another internet hobby.

What's rapping outside of the internet? Something that could actually get you somewhere, if you're trying. That's clearly what many people here have against "text heads", that typing little verses won't get you a deal. I know it wont, that's why it's a hobby. So if you feel that strongly about getting signed, unplug your fucking modem and do something about it. End of discussion.

yay N shit, now you somewhat understand it, lol

yes people write raps, some people can write without listening to a beat, but that's because their natural flow comes to them without a beat being present...99.999% of text heads couldn't ride a beat if their lives depended on it so no, it's not rap...

and 9th, what you just said is absolutely correct
