Would have to imagine any old head textcee's were like that because battling became a thing first what with 8 Mile and all that. So even the topical writers probably started out battling first. Makes sense that you would be good at both in that case. Talking out of my ass since I wasn't a part of that scene. When I joined in the early 10's it was definitely bifurcated. Nik-a, Strikta, and some others come to mind who still did pretty well at both.
I always thought of Sacrifice as pure topical/OM so that's interesting. He was posting pretty irregularly by the time I came.
