People hate me here I guess but this is by far my favorite site to post on, so I just had to strike that balance between the amount I give a shit about. Which is about 0 at this point, I just like writing and battling is my favorite way of doing that. Young cats care too much, i know i did. Life has a crazy way of making you realize that no one cares if you are here or not.
Except Zelph he seems like he really wants everyone to be involved. But yeah I trust the voters here. Ppl know what they are reading and when it is shit. |
The other thing here especially is that this is a site consisting of mostly veterans from all across the web, every hiphop board you can possibly imagine over the past 20 years, who all finally made it to this point and now have very sharp skill sets they've built up and chopped and changed over time to accommodate. So learning here for someone new will be a pretty steep learning curve, but by facing them week in and week out and seeing what works and what doesn't - you'll be learning from some of the best still doing this shit. It might not feel like it some weeks, but you only really lose a battle when you don't learn from it. I've changed my style maybe 3/4 times over the years to arrive at a point I feel I've got "my" style downpat to the point people associate that with me. Early on in my RipTheMic days I took loss after loss on what was a "vet" site to me much like NC is to you now, but I watched and learned and rather than throw in the towel and leave after a loss I slowly got better and ended up in a crew with Karaoke LOL so don't get disheartened with it all, just chalk it up to experience and learn from it most importantly of all. I rarely make these sort of motivational posts but I consider you one of our own so make of that what you will.
