Did anyone see the Vice article on text battling?
 

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/get...pers-forum-cop

This place gets a mention.

This was a cool little read.

"There’s a contradiction that’s central to textcee-ing: For a community built on skilfully insulting other users it’s surprisingly inclusive and polite"

Lol yea AHHIGHT


Let that fagot sign up here TODAY

It be a different article entirely.

i'm kind of shocked we not only got mentioned, but were first in the list of links.

wonder which one of you clwons wrote this hmmmmmmmmm

We made it.

Between this and Veritas' appearance on WrestleTime I think we can all expect the money to come rolling in any minute now.

Well this place is already LIME.

It was only a matter of time before we got the LIGHT!

lol irl @ wrestletime tbh

Interesting article tho. Nigga hit it right on the head lol.


Never heard of rappad tho?

Anyone notice RB GOT NO MENTION? Fuck

rb is jokez

Article was choppy & terribly written. Netcees and RB are the only text battle sites left.

I am coming with a text site this year. Will be the best site ever created for battle rappers.

HipHopCashKings. All tourneys will have handsome monetary rewards. Only The Greats.

yeah ask goldmic how they're doing in 2016 bud

lmao there's a cash battle sub forum at Spitsville with a PayPal required

pz out netcees

gonna lol when joe boston robs u

lmao I'm browsing from my phone but that shit looking like an old proboard haha

Gold mic was premier in its heyday. I will never fall off. You'll be a member.

@Roisin Kiberd to thread.


@Vulgar?

According to them we are one of the 'old style' forums and nairaland and reddit are the places to be.

Txt on reddit is as bad as fb

Lol. I didn't write this, but I literally think Netcees is a hotspot for ethnographic study. Any anthropologists on this lime rock?

I remember when vulgar was a human tbc

Just wen I thought I was more human now than I was before.
@zygote to thread to represent the alien race of text.

you did it guys

you finally did it

@veritas you mean?

Thats amazing.......but what does it all mean?

I hope the 5 people that visit here because of this article are scared away by our 90s phot shop job lime with dead eyes holding the bloody heads of people they don't know but hope won't be them

Did the article mention how I'm stupidly dope?

haven't read it yet, but I was honestly tinkering around with writing an article about textceeing a while ago. pissed someone beat me to it

I'm about to message the dude telling him to come catch slightly less shitty bars here

Narialand tho? Really?

Dope that Netcees got mentioned. I feel asif though the guy who wrote the article had no real idea on text battling though lmao.

Mostly polite.. Lyrical Assault as a mention? nigga wuuuuuuuuuut

On my life when I saw him reference nairaland I was sure you had written thjs lol

I felt the cyber bullying thing was shoehorned in there. If you think battling is cyber bullying, you don't quite get battling.

Overall, it was a cool little article, but def feels like he doesn't live that textcee LYFE

Pat is text lyfe, typing guns with my finger
If she bald, mcmannnm I'll stone cold stun her beaver

@quaker oats, write it properly. I guarantee you Complex would take a well-done story about it. Interview some people here and elsewhere. Get the story right. I'll edit it for free.

I was skimming the article until they highlighted this portion

"When the lines get really serious like, 'I'm going to kill you and your whole family,'

OH DEAR. ALLOW ME A MOMENT TO RETRIEVE MY HANDKERCHIEF FROM THE GROUND BECAUSE IT FELL FROM MY BREASTPOCKET AS I WAS PRAYING TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR IN THE FACE OF SUCH LEWD LANGUAGE. FAGGOTS. I'M PRETTY SURE BAGS USED THAT AS A DISCUSSION PUNCHLINE BEFORE HE SAID HE WOULD EAT ZELPH'S MOM'S UTERUS OR SOMETHING.

I mean, that's literally a @Plot level classic line. They don't understand the movement. DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT CRED ONCE SAID HE WOULD CATCH YOU IN YOUR WHIP AND PUT FIRE THROUGH THE GLASS LIKE AN ART SCULPTURE? That's a little thing I like to call wordplay.

No but seriously the whole piece was just some jerk off one off, and Vice is shit. If you wrote a good piece on the text scene I'd get Certain to edit it for you for free.

Write it.

@Certain I'll take you up on that.
@PancakeBrah get certain on the line and I'll get to it.

That would be rly cool.

Textstars 2?

Mention The Fox
@quaker oats

Lmaoooo fuck me I wish I had. Would've just been a link to narialand tbh with myself

@makajibz defend your people and awful bars
