RIP to TEXT. Nov 6, 2002 - Jan 14, 2014
 

We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of text battling. It died January 7, 2014.

If you have a few things or memories to say about text please do so.

I'll go first

Damn this is hard, text. I remember I missed a party and stayed up till 2 am working on a battle. My GFs never understood you but I always did. You helped me escape the harsh realties of growing up as a black youth in the 90s and early 2000s.


* if a mod could please put a picture of a black rose in my post it would be appreciated.

not dead wen you focus on battles.

Lol'ed at 3 failed threads. Would the owner of that please come forward.

& text is alive & well again

Show support for my tournament idea and text will live. Just please don't make another swag and flow one bar thread.

if it died jan 7 why does the title say jan 14. You are fucking stupid. not the GOAT. Fucking billy goat loser. You're a lamb. Veal. Something I eat for breakfast. Missing dates by a week. Word three in big letters. Thinks it holds meaning cause he put [/b around them and put it to the size he got touched by his pastor (18). Young. Goes to clubs with his moms pills in his pockets "ready to do some work, with my perc" he says while rhyming to the techno beat. Tells his cousin, who he calls his shorty on forums "hold on, gotta post that on netcees."

"whats netcees?"

"its like if jay-z, eminem and nas were nerds but on the internet"

"wait what i can't hear you, the musics too -"

"YOU'RE SO FUCKING DUMB SHUT UP IM THE GOAT"

"oh you want to coat check?"

"NO NO, ITS 3 DOLLARS I CANT WASTE THAT MUCH IM A BUSINESSMAN!!"

cousin to bouncer: "yeah can we coat check these coats

aero screaming to no avail due to loud music: NO DONT, I CANT BREAK MY TEN!!

cousin coming back unaware of aeros tribulations: why do you still wear enyce?

aero: its express and i have swag *frowns*

cousin: i love being white with you.

cousin: didnt you say you love aero smith? I'm going to go request some now to the dj

aero: NO NO I HATE HIM

aero to himself in his head: fucking love aero smith so much want his penis inside me

aero on netcees simultaneously: got perc in the club, miniskirting it up

namix delete this i am the Goat. Don't address me otherwise, peasant.

lol three bars are trash. Hush didn't get ethered by you, he laughed himself into a coma when he saw you. Actually, nah, he punched a black dude in the lobby, laid him flat the fuck out and the black dude landed on your converse sneakers. Hush said my bad bro for the sneakers and you said "no problem kiddo" and ran out of the hotel. Cops didnt question you cause you were white lol. Toothpaste haircut. Real toothpaste. Eat Oatmeal with shredded lettuce for breakfast. Only does site disses cause that's what he excels at. Just stating the obvious but in rhyme format with a slight twist. lol

"and strikta had to beg for 13.50, and I don't mean the exclusive jordan hybrids"

sprinkle a little rhyme cognitive similar effect. Jordan hybrids

"he was moaning, trying covered it up as a hoax so vibrant."

got the tall tale signs of a pathological liar psycho maniac. Keeps telling himself hes the goat until he believes it to be true. Thinks hes black. Thinks hes the goat. Makes sense now. Watched too much peter pan as a white kid. "IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN FLY YOU CAN" Closed his eyes and tried to fly. Can't. Named himelf Aero as a slight play off Aerial, when he tried to fly like peter pan off his 2nd story apartment building and fell and broke his arm and hit his head. All the kids called him Aerial. "ill show them one day, ill take over a text website and make top 20 imaginary lists. *waves fist*" fuck you.

I am just pretty much boarding on autopilot right now.

i cant even

Lmao @ Baby

What's textcee?

"its like if jay-z, eminem and nas were nerds but on the internet"

Haha @ Hush wtf.


Baby what is your alias? You crossed the line.

January 1999 on chat boards was the birth.

Your thread is a mockery.

8 mile came out nov 6, 2002

never was a fan of text mc's they wack imo.

Den why u here?

im a audio head i like to hear new dudes over great beats.

REPPED

it's my opinion most text mc's think rhymes have to match in syllable count when they don't.

You a nerd who counts that i bet you count on your fingers too "1..2...3...7" skip 5 numbers man.
