Flyting is a ritual, poetic exchange of insults practiced mainly between the 5th and 16th centuries

Fart · 02-06-2013, 12:54 PM

^^ Lol yup
Rap battles are just the modern form of these rituals/events. Actually the only reason I knew of them was because of a few papers I wrote about rap's creation and evolution in high school/college

thou hadst such a son
hardly worse than thyself.

Hey hush, this is a good thread. Very good shit I never even knew this stuff. To keep things in perspective though:

"thout chinneth arth longeth enough to enulfeth thine own chest maiden when thout sneezes
doist thee not knoweth that to speaketh in such a fashion is to hideth thine own lisp in thee olden days of old?"
