How can you

SiK · 06-04-2013, 10:57 AM

Talk shit about the level of skill the battlers on the board currently have but do nothing to better the situation...

In order to progress you have to battle dudes better than you. So for all those just talking shit on the forums yet doing no battling congrats your making text what its become...

I know im just mid-teir, but if it wasnt for getting slayn by Ill nik, Hush etc. I wouldnt even be that....It also helps for those 'more advanced' to give advice...Not just 'wow that was horrible'....let them know how to fix it...

If your just on the site to talk in Disc and dont feel like battling cause its worn out to you at least take some time to vote on a couple battles and give good insight. 'Yall' are the reason text is dying...Not these new guys coming in..Were you always as 'dope' as you claim to be now? cmon

Just sayin

Word this is great wisdom right here, partially why i joined the 1-2, to be more active and build my skills, so i can get into the battle league and hopefully build a decent record. I much prefer topical to text battling cuz battles seem so formulaic, but i dont want to limit and look down on something that really does take alot of skill and heart to be good at.

agree

I've always been incredibly dope

ill nik-A · 06-04-2013, 11:28 AM

How can I battle anyone better than me when no such thing exists

How can I destroy Nik when we're both fans of the Hurricanes?

Joe Metts · 06-04-2013, 11:38 AM

Dumb statement honestly.

It's like Deacon Jones (RIP) saying football is soft now and Mike Greenberg saying GET OUT THERE THEN AND FUCK PEOPLE UP. Some dudes did this enough and wanna observe. And have definitely earned an opinion. You don't have to participate or try and make things better if you think it sucks.

I hate walmarts customer service but i ain't about to show a dude where the yankee candles and undershirts are.

Joe Metts · 06-04-2013, 11:46 AM

Yall be treating this like it got certain people rich and now they have to give back to their community. Like Resin supposed to come back and build a center for wording punchlines. Butler supposed to hand out tutorials on thanksgiving. User supposed to be pissed butler wasn't handing out turkeys.

You dont have to do shit....Im not in charge of anyone nor is there a written law stating so..

What IM saying is don't talk shit about the people actually trying to get better and putting forth effort if your not willing to help out....

oats · 06-04-2013, 11:49 AM

I think it's on the individual to read up on good battlers and figure it out. That just means good battlers need to battle more often. It's always nice if explicit advice and guidance is given, but gotta do your own work nah mean

Joe Metts · 06-04-2013, 12:00 PM

You make no sense sik.

So basically if you don't participate you shouldn't say shit about the people who do and the quality in which they do it?

Think about that and how retarted and corny a concept it is and then think about everything in this world you don't do but criticize. Whether it be a movie director or a model bitch or an artist. Get over it. People can criticize all they want without helping or participating in anything.

Hate to play devils advocate but your whole concept is ridiculous.

SiK · 06-04-2013, 12:07 PM

To critisize something you arent a part of is one thing. In that case you dont have the opportunity to fix anything because you have nothing to do with it

In this case yall are apart of this 'community' therefore have the potential to change or help things....So to bitch about something that you are apart of but do nothing about it, you yourself are apart of the problem. thats my point...How that is so ridiculous to you i dont understand...

I never stated the battler themself doesnt have to work on there own....I completly agree with that entire statement

Joe Metts · 06-04-2013, 12:15 PM

Because you make it sound like you owe something to text.

Its dudes typing rhymes. Either your nice or your not.

Some cases you'll become nice some cases you wont.

Text is wack cause kids can record so easily for cheap. It wasn't like that back in the day. No other reason.

SiK · 06-04-2013, 12:25 PM

Alright Joe I get it.....You win

Everytime I explain something you have another comeback at a different angle....you got it

Maximus · 06-04-2013, 12:28 PM

Agreed man, i wont be where im at today if not for veteran advice from a few dudes on netcees, particularly a guy named HT who really showed me the way back then when i sucked badly, his tips and critiques were always helpful and ive grown since then. Battling tougher opponents and vets showing u some tweaks is definately a good way to elevate, look at sharpnine for example, the recent cross-training ultimate writer's shit helped him get to where he is today atleast..

Joe Metts · 06-04-2013, 12:44 PM

Good job admitting defeat.

Boredom · 06-04-2013, 12:49 PM

....smh, Joe i dunno why u always gotta come back handed at eveeerrrryone about everything dude?

word @SiK tho, i agree w/ op completely, def need insight from those who are better than you to elevate, and it doesn't help the fact that a lot of the dudes that are at the point to help cats out either realllly dgaf or just argue in disc all day.
