Yes they were.
Do you legit think text battling only came about after 8MILE when you started? You stupid fuck. Battle raps been around for a very long time. Way before 8MILE, I can assure you. 8MILE just advertised it and made every white kid think he was a rapper, like yourself. Pussy. Watch your mouth. Last edited by Amen; 09-19-2018 at 05:47 AM. |

the earliest i heard of people texting in ancient chat formats was the late 90's.
the early 90's 99 percent of humans didn't know what an e-mail was

Mid 90's, early was a bit exaggerated.
But platforms did exist - remember when I joined the 1st battle forum - people were chatting and claiming to have been on that platform for several years and this was in like '98. And I know Lars said he was doing shit around then as well maybe as early as '97. We can just ask Destroyer or ill nik-a. They were on forums text battling since the 80's. Jesus, I'm old. |

Yahoo here, then AIM.
Yahoo was how I found RAPMUSIC. I would freestyle in the chatrooms with nimrod, bricksteeze, profound, wird of play, oddjob and all of them... Nim was the one that linked me to rapmusic. |

Difficult to say. Probably Loose Logic. He has made countless albums, and is a good rapper. He's not a legend, but he's getting there.
