It’s crazy that i went a super long time without crossing paths with a lot of people until I came to nc. These days I always think of this scene as pretty small/niche but it’s a testament to how big the scene used to be

Then I joined PBA 2 in early 03 and made it to the playoffs as a relative newbie and kept going around everywhere. Did Island w/ Aloe in the RBL in like 05 or whatever. Eventually made my way to bboys/PR/BW/NC in the latter half, which seems to be where i met most of the people here.

going back and reading my old stuff is weird though, because like you said, i was still finding myself stylistically and was doing a lot of inner bar rhyming and shit that kinda took away from the impact of any disses i was throwing.

That's the board I first started on with Sentex, Maniphesto, froshkiller jones etc..... Fun times. I spent more time on my little thugged out cartoon avy than I did my actual rhymes
