dudes been writing battle verses to each other for centuries (proof inside)
 

Flyting is a ritual, poetic exchange of insults practiced mainly between the 5th and 16th centuries

Interesting.

Here I thought we were the only ones ever on this nerdy shit. lol

lmaoooooo nice find.

....Yall really didnt know this already??

I didn't.

Theres also this thing in south America where dudes basically have rap battles only they sing it flamenco style and accompany themselves with accordion. Shits awesome

^^ Lol yup
Rap battles are just the modern form of these rituals/events. Actually the only reason I knew of them was because of a few papers I wrote about rap's creation and evolution in high school/college

I will no longer keep it secret:
it was with thy sister
thou hadst such a son
hardly worse than thyself.

Hey hush, this is a good thread. Very good shit I never even knew this stuff. To keep things in perspective though:


"thout chinneth arth longeth enough to enulfeth thine own chest maiden when thout sneezes
doist thee not knoweth that to speaketh in such a fashion is to hideth thine own lisp in thee olden days of old?"

LMAOOO
