Moral Dilemmas as a writer
I've got a battle coming up Saturday, and I wrote my verse a couple weeks ago. I happened to be looking at live battles online and I saw someone use the exact same concept that I had already written and planned to use in my upcoming match, I figured whatever...it sucks, but my concept is actually a personal that's relevant to my opponent, it's slightly different and worded better, it's only the wordplay that's the same
but then it happened again. I watched a different battle and once again, one of the concepts I already wrote and planned to use was used in a match. If it's in a text battle, it's whatever. I can just scrap the damn line and come up with a new one...but I've taken my time to memorize everything as it is, and I actually have schemes revolving around these lines. The set-up lines aren't just filler like they would be in text, they actually have punches in them that rhyme with my closing bars, so I reaaallllyyy don't want to redo my verses. but on the other hand, i don't like knowing that my shit has been used before and that I could potentially be called a biter for it. The worst part is that if I had never watched those battles, I would've never known. ANY line of mine that I've ever written could've been used by someone at some point. And I know people say 'there's no such thing as a concept that hasn't been done' but where do you draw the line? I know @Baron Mynd battles a lot - 2 cents? |

If you have more punches in your live battle verse than your text verses, you're doing one of them wrong.

Compare that to a text battle where people complain if they have to do more than 6 or 7 bars. Some people like Dizaster have an insane amount of filler in between every punch, but he also does longer rounds. Personally, I just have jokes in between my primary punches but what I was really saying is that in text, people don't *usually* rhyme more than 2 lines together. You write your set-up, your punch, and then move onto the next punch and use a completely different rhyme. Whereas in audio and live battling, most people stay with the same rhyme scheme and use 2, 3, or more punches off the same multi. anyway, I'm just gonna spit my verse the way it is. I'll have some extra lines prepared if needed, but it is what it is |
