[Certain]

I went to a few other sites before I found this place when I decided to start writing more. The textcee scene appears to be a series of ghost towns. I remember the days when you had RapMusic, RapBattles, B-Boys, RhymeNReason, Mr. Blunt, 411Hype, SOHH, AZN Raps, RipTheMic and others, each with their own active battles leagues. A few had active topical leagues, too.

Urban Prowlers still is up, but it's not particularly active and apparently they won't activate new accounts. I can't remember my old screen name there, either.

The cool thing back then was every site had its different, preferred styles. I was always a site jumper, using different names at different places and never really settling down. I read a lot more than I wrote, and it was fascinating to see what was stressed on all these sites.
