[~RustyGunZ~]

it is probably written by Richard Corey

[Cereal_Killa]

who do you think has the better flow..

and wen calicoe has good flow, listen to his lyrics.. carefully
..

To me you wee tackers get the gist of battling, but dont understand writing or lyrics how they play the most important part in hip hop.. but we cool..

its all learning..

The thing is text battling is more like joke telling, wordplay and insults than it is rapping. Rap battles are something else entirely that are in and of themselves entire productions and performances.

What we put out is just some words. shit has to be able to stand alone to do damage without all the theatrics behind it.

Pretty much

[Cereal_Killa]

So by using more advanced writing techniques in text battling or battling in general.. Is more of a handicap on ur self and shouldn't be commented on let alone praised..

Yes - yes..

[Sharp]

There's a placed for technical writing, its more swag/flow battles. If you can integrate it into a regular battle good on you but at the end of the day its more about being able to deliver a clever hit through a concept.

some people pull it off. GOW and Orc both have very smooth wording with well-placed inner rhymes and consonance

the thing is, if you're insulting someone saying it pretty doesn't help if it doesn't CONNECT. clever/ witty shit's always gonna have that upper edge, when the idea is to beat ur opponent into the ground with words

[Cereal_Killa]

I get this.. But ahh u r doing text battles not audio battles so way u write ur lines does matter..

Otherwise you are just writing insults with an end rhyme.. N to me u gotta b pretty fucken funny to have a stretched out line with one rhyming syllable at the end..

But that is me, n y'all guys do wat u do..

[Cereal_Killa]

Wats funny bout all this, is I'm a content man.. Always, so this is like WOAH.. Flow n rhythm are only a small part to me but.. It is in there n I WILL comment on it..

U damn bafoon..

[Sharp]

as a general rule i make sure my end rhyme is at least 2-3 syllables, and you can always do inner shit if you like

but at the end of the day if you're all flash and no substance that's a lot less effective than funny concepts told in a joke format

[StarFaggot]

My votes are just fine.

[Cereal_Killa]

i vote - AERO..

[Flow]

@Split no offence chap but I do a breakdown on 70 percent of battles here whether I'm in the league that week or not. This week my feed was shit an I told everyone it was, an I told em I'd get em back with more detail next time but rl issues.

Don't be coming in here for the first week in god knows how long an tellin me im lazy. Always get to people with a break down most the time, send mails to anyone who leaves me with decent feed in preciation an helped out on the mag during the move here cus I knew knuck was struggling... So don't think I meet the lazy criteria

[Obey]

On behalf of lurkers I'd be more worried about everything else

at least niggaz iz still votin

[IamBenT]

man gtfoh with that flyting shit.

man CK been voting on battles longer than half of yall knew what a battle board was.

Same goes for me tbh, good lyrics is good lyrics. if your shit sounds wack don't get mad at me for it.

Watch some damn KOTD battles, even that new shit can still be dropped to a beat if needed.

"This cat blah blah blah multie.... cuz his multi blah blah bblah punchline multi"

Watch most battles, they use variation on this scheme. Im not expecting any of yall to use that specifically but listen to the shit, they use multis and flow. its not just wack multi - long ass bar of text then wack multi trying to be a punchline.

plus if your whole damn verse is inside jokes i.e. "personals" that's wack. you don't who the fuck is reading the battle so your shit should have a modicum of dopeness to it regardless. a good personal here and there will win you the battle, good on you when used right of course, but not the whole damn verse.

any battle verses I vote on here im doing yall a favor. if the shit don't flow, learn how to write.

Beyond was one of the greatest text heads around, his shit flowed. Alvin Karpis too.

I could go even further back to RM days, cats like Revanon and Jowelz ripped the shit out of people with dope punchlines and shit that FLOWED.

Flyting is just an excuse for poor lyricism.
