name your text battle idol. and be real bout it it.
 

We've all had one, some of us still do and just won't admit it. Well I'm gonna tell y'all who mine is and why.

So even if you don't have one now cause you personaly think your own sshit don't stink (and if that's the case u can say so) ..but even so, at one point you had one.. who was it and why

I got hush
The nigga a witty genius
Crushed me in the bad blood tourny pt 1 back when netcees 1.0 had its biggest collection of battling superstars at one time.
So I watched him ever since. No homo you fagot lookers, and I hated on the dood for a while.. but then as I went from paragraph to settup/delivery style writing.. I was like yo, the kid is nasty for real.

There's a shit ton of other dope writers. But that's my pick, and my why

What's yours. Don't be a fagot and be scared to say it.

Umm I always liked this dude who went by sept jr. On bboys ... actually taught me a lot when I first started writing real complex punches
@Hush my dude too.. at one time he said I was a genius with concept when on the real that dude just know how to take anything and word it into a quotable

And I've always fucked with @Allen Knight style ... fucking reminds me of 90s pissy staircase gutter rap


my homie @lefty ... do I really have to say why? He's just an amazing writer all around

And of course the wigga who put me on @J. Metts ... when he's has motivation I don't think theirs a cat who can outwit outfunny or out write him...

More then one but you know taste change from ttime to time but these dudes are timeless

When i first started blue bayou was my hero. He still is pretty dope. His wordplay is the blueprint. After i beat him a few times he lost some of his herolike aura to me....but when i first got here i was like yo.....this dude is the truth.

STRONGARM was dope.

Mystery Murderer....dunno if anyone here remembers him, but I always thought he was the best.

I'm not into text like that tho, I dunno the history and the top dudes n shit so my opinion might not mean much but from what I have seen, he was probably my favourite.

I've had dozens I like. I usually gravitate to a certain style. No one any of you would know by name. I like weirdos. Whys is dope. Coup. Cake. Black. Vulgar. Oats. Neighbor and Manhattan are good, but I don't like their style all the time. They've both seen too many episodes of Miami Vice/Scarface.

Don't think I've ever had a crush.

Impolite on RF was really dope.

Had to take it somewhere else with that crush shit, didn't you?

them cats are dope to though, everyone in here that's been mentioned is nice with it so far.
But ya. I'm just bored as fuck rite now

always thought Hush/ Orc had dope bars

Hush has ill concepts, Orc has dope wording



open mic shit... I dunno. Flavor of the week
always liked Black's storytelling method.
I've always been a big fan of BWA's rhyming.
vulgar with dat wordplay

Orc's style is just absolutely fun to read.

Blue is the man when it comes to wordplay.
An joe. Joe is dope.

There was a dude called Engivale who I think was probably my favourite OM writer of all time.

Followed closely by Black and Baron Mynd back when he still did it properly.

This site though probably has more depth in writing talent than any I've been on tbh There are countless dope writers who are still posting things here. Dudes like dull boy, pancake, wise, vulgar, oats, split, zygote, pent.

Also honourable mention to Cry and Brandon Cee who for a long time were my main competition and to this day can write better than most of the people who do this.

Dynasty was always one of my favorites to read. Battles and otherwise. Even had his archives bookmarked some years back for sheer dopeness.

Word at most of this thread, +1 to hush. but Swerve's wording consistently impressive to me cause theres always this tone that makes it seem mad condescending. that alone makes some of his shit work so well

just a lil thing ive noticed that stuck out at me

and lo, on the seventh day richard corey rested - for he had completed the hip hop scrypture, and he saw that it was good.

Mudfoot.

Relentless Fist was the truth back when text was in it's prime. I looked up to dude when it came to writing verses.

Advance/Andy was dope af too.. another idol.

& Medichi... Med used to be a headache.. but no doubt one of my text idols & biggest rival as well.

battle wise has to be hensley

imo he is still one of the best battlers to ever battle in text ...can come back right now and body dudes then no show 6 times and leave for a year lol

Oneduh

Back in the day Excel

Now no one since I'm the best

Aesthetic, that nigga got swag.

No, coup is up there with GOW, Witty and Geno.

Was that the guy who dominated a bunch of lower- to mid-tier sites back in 2000-2002 and boasted about a record like 300-5?

cats do that shit still today man, beat 200 newbies and claim there relevant
