It’s crazy how widespread it was. There were more verses written on Rapmusic in one day than you’d see here in a year. It was bonkers how many people were doing this.... then it just slowly faded out over time. I actually thought it had completely died until someone told me this board was still around earlier this year.

Personally, I think the whole scene, or whatever you want to call it, peaked earlier than 2003-04... by that point, some of the main boards had long since died (Sethro’s, Homegrown, Keystyles, ArtofRhyme, etc) and UPN had started to move to being 99% a discussion board. But, I’m also old enough to remember Kno and Deacon from cunninlynguists text battling in March Madnesses in the late 90s. LOL. I’m fucking ancient when it comes to this crap.

So much truth... Remember Jugga and Turrizt too? Memorrrrieees
