No.. and what you wrote wasn't bad at all... Granted I don't know half of the people you referenced because I'm not a nerd.

All that aside wasn't bad and its cool that people keep using this as a 'textcee' or whatever to write.

Props for that.

First off RIP Lars ... open mic classics wheneva he typed them
sad txtcees is dyin this year but at least it’s the right ones

hah, cold.

viruses running wild as democrats raising the crime rate

not sure how to read this. either you're right-wing and think crime = things poor people do and believe democrats are involved in some crime conspiracy. or you think crime is something connected with democrats somehow, which is a right-wing talking point. the 'US' Democratic Party is literally neoliberal capitalist, they're propetarians.

what's you angle on this line, I'm curious?

TLDR; poor and working-class ''crime'' is a ruling class distraction.

Geno aging in reverse but I think it’s only his mind state
this ain’t personal bro’s , the truth is out there at last
Pegged a few of u for wierdos and Aero took it right up his ass

heh, an anti-gay joke.

Finally time for your 15 mins of fame !!! We gettin all the clout
Yes!!! We all household names .. it’s all Zuch and Jamie talk abt

from the mention in the comments I'm curious about this. what did I miss?

open your eyes and realize black lives matter u fucking bastards
Only interesting battle left is who more racist Knuck or Cashius

I don't know these two but I like the sentiment here and more power to those resisting white supremacy.

Its great to see legends return and get set for a run
Barcotic next time u throw a fit aim it at Hens cuz he dress like a bum

nice wordplay. not feeling the anti-bum/homeless part. homeless people don't really have any specific 'look', there's a lot of 'invisible homelessness' too.

A lot of y’all would be fire if u could write wit more rhythm
Sharps been off the charts lately but sadly there for autism

ehh, autism isn't a joke.

Blue diss Des unborn baby shit is crazy .. niggas still quoting
Sex life like his gun bars ... shooting blanks cuz he impotent
Not a lot of dudes my boy Tim Grady can’t slaughter
I fathered a lot of styles and well.. u literally a grandfather

ha, the 'fathered a lot of styles' angle had been heavily used way back so I guess this isn't so fresh

And fuck blues peloton machine .. that nigga a queer
Next cycle u should work on is not being a faggot year after year

the cycle wordplay would've been good if not combined with the anti-gay content

Overall this was disappointing. Reliance on social tropes against gay people, the autistic and homeless/poor is basically evidence of bad writing. People using stuff like this are utilising existing inequities to just bash downwards. I'm not supporting this stuff, not only from a political position but from a writers' position, it's just lazy to weaponise people already shit on by society to try to score points. I mean, you're writing pro-BLM and exposing racists in this verse - nice. Apply that same approach to the poor, sexuality and mental illness and switch the power dynamics.

Hope you take this criticism in good faith.

[Hush]

Are you gay or sumn ?

[El Muffin]

That’s kind of the impression I got too

Not gonna lie

It matters to me not though. Just an observation

One thing to keep in mind is this is a very casual verse . Emphasis on very

[Aero]

@Vengeance did you really say you're not supporting a verse from a political position? Get out.

Yall leave him alone lol

How to expose your specific xenophobia, a guide:

Someone: *supports BLM, homeless people, gay people, poor and working-class people and autistic people*

You: "̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶B̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶?̶"̶
̶"̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶h̶o̶m̶e̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶?̶"̶
̶"̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶poor ̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶?̶"̶
̶"̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶i̶n̶g̶-̶c̶l̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶?̶"̶

"are you gay or something?"

*cough*

Let me be clear, to declare your sexuality in order to placate straight people who give you good reason to suggest that they're anti-gay is anti-gay. I'm not here to make straight people feel comfortable by telling them my sexuality. My sexuality has nothing to do with opposition to anti-gayness.

Do you find the only good reason to support BLM and the only good reason to oppose white supremacy is being Black yourself? Because that's a pretty poor analysis. Part of the strength of Black radicalism from BLM and beyond is that it is not a single-issue struggle. Single-issue struggles are doomed to failure because Black gay people exist. Because of white supremacy Black people are more likely to be poor, working-class and homeless, and a disproportionate amount of those people are Black autistic people.

Hope this clears up why this was a weird verse for me, at once appealing to the resistance for Black lives while playing into anti-gay, anti-autistic, anti-poor and, working-class tropes. It's politically contradictory because Black people are all of these things too and often *because* of systemic racism.

1. The verse itself explicitly references BLM. Even the most politically ignorant would recognise that as explicitly political.

2. Everything is political. Text verses don't magically transcend politics somehow. The very idea of 'exceptions' is standard rhetoric deployed to shut-down criticism (often from the same people who talk about "fReEdOm Of SpEeCh!!11")

Check this which covers the idea of comedy, like art, being exceptional and immune to criticism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILugwjdQQsI

3. All criticisms of a verse are political, implicitly or otherwise.

4. If a verse is explicitly anti-gay, anti-autistic etc. then being surprised that a response remarks on those exact things is pretty much saying "only responses which approve of everything that has been said are acceptable". That doesn't sound like a space where opinions are shared, that sounds like a dull echo-chamber.

5. Yes. Yes, that's what I'm saying.

So why does he mention sexuality in his rap on this rap battle site? Seems like a bit of a contradiction you got there, but don't let that get in the way of your bias ;)

Nigga is you DUMB

This is battle rap

Suck my dick FAGGOT

[Orc]

We’re actually very open minded in terms of sexual preferences here. Check out an Aero verse. He, very playfully, refers to himself quite often as the Gayest Of All Time (or GOAT).
