I've champed more shit as a battler than as a topicalist, I wouldn't consider myself one over the other even though I don't actively battle anymore.

Agreed.

People forget I text battled long before I wrote topicals, and I was reasonably good at it. I tend to lose interest fairly quickly but i've put odd runs together in the RBL. Text battlings dope.
