It definitely feels dated now but it had a bravado about it. It was the underground less cringey 106 and park freestyle Friday’s lol

I’ve seen pretty much every Scribble Jam from ‘97 until it lost its relevance due to the internet increasing popularity in similar fields.
Scribble was a lot more about the vibe, though, for a while. Like a get together of all the rappers not attached to major labels. That was a cool moment in Hip Hop history. When freestyles went the way of the double time flow it started going downhill. Grind time and shit was real good for a minute and overlapped with those last decent Scribble festivals with Illmac and Franco. Think the Justice win was the last one I watched. Things have evolved obviously, but it’s sorely missing an aspect those early battles had. There’s no repartee. No flipping shit around on people. That’s the essence of a lunchroom verbal sparring. These new 200 bar prewrittens about dude’s entire past has gotten stale. |

Back then though it was heavily frowned upon. When prewriting became more accepted and out in the open is when I feel like the essence of the battles changed. Now it’s all about your performance. Your delivery of bars. Because everyone accepts you’re basically an actor performing a dialog. |

i don't disagree with that but i guess i feel like the quality of content vs the impressiveness of coming up with ideas on the spot at the detriment of quality is a losing battle for the latter. like i have to listen to a bunch of garbage to finally hear u say something dope about dudes t shirt or a rebuttal to his last round OR i could just listen to awesome bars the entire time

Before it was openly accepted rappers had lines on standby. I used to keep 15-20 lines in my head that were generic and could fit into a situation like ammunition. Then there was what became known as filler.
I really feel like a verse full of filler relevant to the guy in your face beats even the best prewritten concept if it’s delivered in the middle of an obviously rehearsed verse. |

You lose something by gaining more ‘quality’ content. I feel like older rappers and students of the game appreciate off the top content way more than writtens, but you give the crowd what it wants. |

idk....i agree and disagree to an extent....my opinion of off the top freestlying is just....its a novelty...like hm ok...that was neat...but it never gets me as hype as when i hear a FIRE ass line that could have only been put together by taking the time to write it
