To be successful, you do not need well written lyrics. Most "well written lyrics" only appeal to those who write and appreciate it themselves. Hence why so many of the best artists are underground and do not get discovered in a commercial sense. And know, you do NOT need to be original to sell. Look at Chingy, his style is used by so many artists and is one of the top selling artists around. Jay Z was one of the first to use the laid back style that many have tried to copy. You're acting like text sells, it doesn't, it's a hobby for most, a lifestyle for some (cough baron cough).

Wrong. Again, Chingy.

Fuck man, you don't need shit to be successful.

Being good is a different story.

I wonder what 90 thousand successful rappers would look like...

And those would have to be very small textcees.

Fucka RB "used to be"...

We're in the here and now and we have plenty of good slingas...

That are tight as fuck.

So many of them just don't battle regularly...

Stay in leagues only...

Or alter their records and get alias after alias...

So ya can never tell how good they are by their appearance or reps.

So, there's some of ya problem.

But don't say there isn't anyone good here...

AND, NO...I'M NOT COUNTING MYSELF!

I could give a fuck less what you guys think of me, i dont need attention from otherscreennames online to feel good about myself. Your all entitled to your opinion, but i write nice. Period. I dont care if you think text is wack, or that audio is harder.

Syntax basically hit the nail on the head with this - im just surprised it took him soooooooo fucking long. Why did you think Listen and everyone left in the first place?!

Haha.

Of course not...you do that to yourself.

I like to write. So what?

Maybe I don't have the most fitting name for my style and maybe I don't come out with pieces every other fucking day, but that is me. Some consider me to be a good writer, others don't. I really don't care about my level of talent. I just write to get thru the day easier and it keeps me sane.

This topic appears on every site I have ever been to since I started joinging Hip-Hop boards. It is the same shit over and over again.
So-and-so used to be here, man he was so dope.
The old vets would destroy the site now.
These new cats are so weak.

The problem is that people don't realize that those people are gone, and they only reason they appear to have godly talent is because we were newbies when they were vets and we were still developing our own writing styles. Now as we have progressed and gotten better, we look at the newbies and think they are weak. The same will happen with the newbies once they come around. It is a Highschool life cycle. Get used to it.

I bought a new Guitar YO!!!....damn wrong tread my bad.

Nah but seriously, I see all these people with essays of replys, whats up with that?
Writing is good, but fuck,..Im here to kill time not to be a rapper or a emcee, im a writer.

yeah seriously. text battling is a hobby. nothing more at all. its just for fun. and they are alot of good heads here. u just have to look in the right places.
it makes sense...of course most of the people on the site are gonna suck at first....and new people are joining every day....and as new kids become good....the vets begin to leave for whatever reason....
just like muthugga said about highschool

There wouldnt be great music unless it is written. So I think people just say," Text Sucks." To make themselves fell better about there faggot cool edit pro on there computer. Its all pointless and pathetic, and also... Who the fuck started that subject in this Thread???
