Compare that to a text battle where people complain if they have to do more than 6 or 7 bars.

Some people like Dizaster have an insane amount of filler in between every punch, but he also does longer rounds. Personally, I just have jokes in between my primary punches

but what I was really saying is that in text, people don't *usually* rhyme more than 2 lines together. You write your set-up, your punch, and then move onto the next punch and use a completely different rhyme. Whereas in audio and live battling, most people stay with the same rhyme scheme and use 2, 3, or more punches off the same multi.

anyway, I'm just gonna spit my verse the way it is. I'll have some extra lines prepared if needed, but it is what it is
90 seconds is like 24 bars...
