Who was the first Textcee?

[~RustyGunZ~]

The Messiah

ill nik-A

Who was the first like uber champ in text site history

Destros thread made me think there has to be a true origin of text style

[Strikta]

Shiit, this a Lama question.

[Joe Metts]

Lama ain't even come around till 03. From my era.


Gotta ask like trap or someone. Them nigs were on chat rooms in 96 and shit.

[Glossy Finish Dick Lips]

95-01 aol, msn and yahoo chat rooms and ez boards lol.

[Strikta]

Lama was around before then I thought... he had a different name.

But u prolly right.

Yea, trap would probably know tho.

[Joe Metts]

Nah man. Lama was take1mc on bboys. Just threatened to hack the site and got banned everyday. He was like one one of those dudes that was super wack but thought people were dick riding others. You know the type. Always complaining.

[Strikta]

Lmao

[~RustyGunZ~]

So Lama was the first Dia?

[veritas]

Nah man. Lama was take1mc on bboys. Just threatened to hack the site and got banned everyday. He was like one one of those dudes that was super wack but thought people were dick riding others. You know the type. Always complaining.

WAIT LAMA IS DESTRO?

[Hush]

Lmaoooo

I forgot this tidbit of info

[Glossy Finish Dick Lips]

Lama is Dia

[Strikta]

Lama don't even know u. Stfu.

[Glossy Finish Dick Lips]

This nigga... Lol

Comedy.

[Batty]

Shit, I saw some of Llama's old work on Lyrical Assault from it's beginning days.

[Certain]

Sankofa was like the Rakim of text from what I've heard from RIKOSHAY and trap. He was the first to bring any level of complexity to it, and he was considered the best ever even by like 2002, years after he'd gone on to a moderately successful deep underground career.

[Strikta]

I bet that dude couldn't beat Mudfoot.

[Destroyer]

pretty sure I'm 2-0 when it comes to battling David Lama

[Destroyer]

WAIT LAMA IS DESTRO?

The last two words in that paragraph are the only thing that could even describe me.
stay on my dick though

[Joe Metts]

Destro was 10 times better then early lama.

[Strikta]

I was actually Lamas last battle a cpl years ago & he bodied me.

Totally took me by surprise cuz he brought heat.

He had one punch about my failed Slugfest that killed the whole battle. Lol

Lama stepped it up.. I remember saying he could be a real threat if he brought that kind of consistency every battle.

I think he gave his everything in that verse tho.

Might be archived.. I wanna say NBL season 5 maybe.

[Diode]

lama was terrible

yes he was the original dia

i banned him and banned him and banned him again from bboys

lol

then monk and i got in a fight over it and he ended up deleting half the site

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

i had a backdoor admin acct he didn't know about when he purged mine

so i purged his

oh, to be young again

was probably bitten. he did it plenty as take1mc and his obsession with text reasonably indicates he had every line every written in the history of the intertubes.

Man.

i watch 3 yrs worth of NC transpire then im posed to just pretend i dont care what happened at the series finale?

i care lol. Purely out of curiosity.

[Strikta]

I kinda care too, & for the same reason.

[Certain]

I bet that dude couldn't beat Mudfoot.

Mudf00t came to RhymeNReason in 2002 and got beat three or four times, then went back to RapBattles to fill out his record more. He was like 400-15, but 350 of those wins were against newbies.

But also, Sankofa was like 1995-98, whereas Mudf00t was 1999-2003. I doubt that his stuff from that era would hold up that well, like sraL's favorite Sordswinga. But he was considered the best in the days when other top guys included Deacon the Villain, Kno and Jugga the Bully.

Here's some of his rap:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RkuNdyNbxc

I don't listen to him because of the voice and the delivery, but the lyrics are pretty respectable.

[E Tha Real]

It's between Headless verseman, revanon or an unknown head called triggaboom. Trigga had text sites older than any i can think of.

[Sharp]

Damn diode how you get all these addresses

[Certain]

Headless verseman

[oats]

I remember hearing this, wonder if anyone can verify/debunk it. You know Sacario? You will probably know him from this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePmt1tFDtW8

anyway, this dude named Multi, who was regarded (as I recall) as one of the GOATs of the AOL chat room era, fell off the map abruptly because he was Sacario and got signed/had moderate success. idk, this is piecemeal from my memories of a long time ago, so yeah, anyone know of this or am I just full of shit?

[Certain]

I liked that song, even though it's kind of terrible. But yeah, if you listen, Sacario is using rhyme schemes a little more complex than the typical mainstream rapper of that era, and it wouldn't surprise me if he had some experience with text rap (though I'm not saying that's the only reason).

[~RustyGunZ~]

So Sankofa or w/e is the answer?

[Ghost1]

Also for those of us who rnt pussies like oats

U may remember sacario from

I kinda ain't believing that one, g.

Knux was pretty dominant for a good stretch.

It needs breaking down into eras for this kind of thing...

I want to know the first era

not the best of each or the most influential

the first champ level dude ever

[sral]

My favorites. 2-9 is in no order.


1. Psylense - to me, he has always been the illest textcee around. On RM, he was a beast with verses. He used all facets of netceeing, something that is forgotten today. He wouldn't downplay the readers intelligence with "thugged" out verses. He would just write illness. String 5-syllable multies together five times and pull everything into context. Being a 'bastard briton' his pronunciation was off but that didn't take away from his dopeness. During his RBL run he really raised the bar. My personal favorite punch of his would be:
Blocking this nark, slight shrill in slaughter as Psy might spill this author
I feel i ought'a put the heat to ya mouth and turn ya ice grill to water
That's just a quick example of his dopeness. His wording was perfect. Nothing was extraneous and everything flowed together so well. Hands down my favorite.



Fracture - is an obvious choice, but still necessary. It's weird that someone can have an influence that spans across the net. Even today his punches are relevant and a favorite of biters netwide. He managed to dominate both the battle and topical areas of text at the same time, and he proved so in the highest competition levels of the RBL. This guy even ended up facing himself in a champ match at one of the RBL's peaks. That should give a good idea on how ill he is.
your girl is varsity with my dick, and i letter jacket
He was dope. And he still is. That's all there is to it.


Evolution - has always appealed to me. His shit in the RBL was waay better than the PBA. Problem is, that he could be pretty inconsistent. Still, he was in some of my favorite battles, ever against Epi and Psy. His raw multies and quick wit were deadly. His flow was nothing short of exceptional. He didn't try and link complex thoughts together, instead he just attacked at a level that hurt like hell. He could make simple punches amazing with ease.
i shatter frees and crumble textcees as this cracker keys
its sad to see you got AAA on ya cock but still not the badder-E
Dope... and a bit more.


Resin M-I-C - is probably one of the most creative around. He has horrific set-ups with horribly forced multies but his punches make up for that. He is one of the best generic writers, ever. Oddly, he can also murder pictures like none other at the same time. He even pretty much invented the three-line style... although that's not too commendable because now it's an outlet to stretch lines, it shows his influence.
Check where u stood, u'd be Untouchable if I wreck on the good
Hang yourself on a tree & show us the ropes from your Neck of the Woods!
Sick.


Rudge1 - could drop horrific filler, but then would come in without a knockout punch. If you compared his best, to someone else's best, he'd take it. No question about it. He was creative at hell and could come up with punches that would appear ridiculously simple but are in fact multi-layered. I haven't seen him around for three years but even today he could hang with the best of them, no doubt about it. He also dropped my absolute favorite punch, ever.
Let's talk about my win percentage, since you brought it up
Godly.


Relentless Fists - has a lot of lines that would be called played today, but back then he originated them. Fisticuffs is one of the most consistent textcees around. He utilized some of the most creative similies that I've ever seen. But aside from that, he could just write raw punches. In fact, some of his lines are still being bitten today because of their crazy illness. Was a bit too generic at times, but could still hit with mean personals. Easily UA's finest, without a doubt. Great flow and great punches.
sick yet complacent, he'll menage a trois... and I'll leave out with details...
but if we cut out the middle man Sho'd finally fuck a female
It was too hard to choose a favorite...


Storm-G - is a wash-up, but he used to write ridiculously good verses. On UA and in the RBL he showcased some of his best stuff that very few could compete with. Even today, his old verses could still hang with a lot of the material around. His ability to use subtle wordplay and quick, but hard punches was in a league of it's own. It's too bad that he stopped caring and suddenly became wack. However, if he wanted to - my guess is that he could pick right up where he left off. You don't just lose illness.
if i dont bake this match.. kid it dont matter
winning wont be a piece of cake but a dish of the batter
One of the many...


MetaSin - had a subtle quality of illness to his raps. He was witty as hell, but his punches weren't all up in your face, either. His verses didn't have the agressive nature that were, and still are, embodied in a lot of the writing today. Despite that, he still managed to come up with incredible punches that even today would be considered nothing short of crazy. MetaSin was, whenever he put his mind to it, one of the greatest.
we both battle, but i guess i just never felt ya Ry
cuz you do text as well as I, just not as well as I


Sur*5*ILL - like MetaSin, he lacked the aggressive nature that was so common. However, what seemed like without effort, he managed to hang with the best of them. For someone who stretched his name so much, it seemed unlikely that he could drop coherent wordplay. But that's exactly what he did. His battle against Epimetheus would be in my Top 5, without a doubt. He managed to drop fresh punches and have so many copiers. People tried to emulate his wordplay, his adjacent lines - but no one was able to master it like him. Unfortunately, I could only find one punch that shows how dope he is - but even that doesn't do him justice.
smash ya wit, high voice in ya audios; ya stance is grim;
Sur murdered this tenor...So there's no chants for hymn;
A master, and one of the originators of homophone based punches.




Can't decide on a number 10... but honorable mentions go to Shadows of Darkness, Defc0n, Radius, Bladerunner, Storm Chamber, Advance, Aloe and others.

[sral]

I couldn't tell you a sole dominating force, people back then were kinda loyal to 1-2 sites tops. It wasn't like today when everyone at NC is also at at least one other site where we've competed.

Everyone will have their own opinion depending on where/which era they came up in.

[Certain]

My favorite battlers back in the 2002-05 era were Fracture, Rygar, Aloe, Himself, User Name, Rudge1 and Resin M-I-C. I didn't even like the latter two that much stylistically, but some of their punchlines were so damn good.

[boof]

^ditto

[boof]

i remember all of those punches damn

its weird that they're even in my memory like that

[ill nik-A]

I remember on LO- Sengoku, Nexus & Pulse were laying down the blueprint. Not really a sha77erstar fan. But he did attract attention.

Yup Sen migrated to upn and vanished

Haven't heard from pulse nor nexus since Hhh

That was my home, also where I learned the most

[Strikta]

Himself was overrated imo.

We were cool af back in the day, but he wasn't all that in battling.

[ill nik-A]

He was a miami nigga and I agree w u

[Witty]

I'm the greatest.,

[Certain]

Himself was overrated imo.

We were cool af back in the day, but he wasn't all that in battling.

I liked his style. He was funnier than people with better concepts. The same is true for Bags, though Bags has more complex punchlines.

[Strikta]

Yeah... he definitely had a comedic approach that won him alot of battles.

Don't get me wrong, I liked him & his style.. but he was on the overrated side if u asked me.

Wish he was still around tho.. it'd be interesting to see how he'd hold up in this era.

[Witty]

I like neighbor, he seems pretty dope and is awesome with teh rhymes. Not as good as me, but nobody is so that is ok.

True.

He's also a faggot4lyfe.

Where is trap to weigh in?

hey.
a little late here, but yeah - it was probably Sankofa, or really anyone from Society of NIMH / Sons of Zadok crews. this was from 95-99 as far as textceeing was concerned.

sankofa
kashal tee
b smooth
jon?doe
spon

all good choices. and they all went on to make music.

here's some tracks;

from 98 to around 2000 you had the continuum, which was a crew of textcees that also ended up doing well in music, which consisted of;

dj kno
jugga the bully
cashmere the professional
kory calico
stahhr the femcee

He wouldn't downplay the readers intelligence with "thugged" out verses. He would just write illness. String 5-syllable multies together five times and pull everything into context. Being a 'bastard briton' his pronunciation was off but that didn't take away from his dopeness. During his RBL run he really raised the bar. My personal favorite punch of his would be:
Blocking this nark, slight shrill in slaughter as Psy might spill this author
I feel i ought'a put the heat to ya mouth and turn ya ice grill to water
That's just a quick example of his dopeness. His wording was perfect. Nothing was extraneous and everything flowed together so well. Hands down my favorite.



Fracture - is an obvious choice, but still necessary. It's weird that someone can have an influence that spans across the net. Even today his punches are relevant and a favorite of biters netwide. He managed to dominate both the battle and topical areas of text at the same time, and he proved so in the highest competition levels of the RBL. This guy even ended up facing himself in a champ match at one of the RBL's peaks. That should give a good idea on how ill he is.
your girl is varsity with my dick, and i letter jacket
He was dope. And he still is. That's all there is to it.


Evolution - has always appealed to me. His shit in the RBL was waay better than the PBA. Problem is, that he could be pretty inconsistent. Still, he was in some of my favorite battles, ever against Epi and Psy. His raw multies and quick wit were deadly. His flow was nothing short of exceptional. He didn't try and link complex thoughts together, instead he just attacked at a level that hurt like hell. He could make simple punches amazing with ease.
i shatter frees and crumble textcees as this cracker keys
its sad to see you got AAA on ya cock but still not the badder-E
Dope... and a bit more.


Resin M-I-C - is probably one of the most creative around. He has horrific set-ups with horribly forced multies but his punches make up for that. He is one of the best generic writers, ever. Oddly, he can also murder pictures like none other at the same time. He even pretty much invented the three-line style... although that's not too commendable because now it's an outlet to stretch lines, it shows his influence.
Check where u stood, u'd be Untouchable if I wreck on the good
Hang yourself on a tree & show us the ropes from your Neck of the Woods!
Sick.


Rudge1 - could drop horrific filler, but then would come in without a knockout punch. If you compared his best, to someone else's best, he'd take it. No question about it. He was creative at hell and could come up with punches that would appear ridiculously simple but are in fact multi-layered. I haven't seen him around for three years but even today he could hang with the best of them, no doubt about it. He also dropped my absolute favorite punch, ever.
Let's talk about my win percentage, since you brought it up
Godly.


Relentless Fists - has a lot of lines that would be called played today, but back then he originated them. Fisticuffs is one of the most consistent textcees around. He utilized some of the most creative similies that I've ever seen. But aside from that, he could just write raw punches. In fact, some of his lines are still being bitten today because of their crazy illness. Was a bit too generic at times, but could still hit with mean personals. Easily UA's finest, without a doubt. Great flow and great punches.
sick yet complacent, he'll menage a trois... and I'll leave out with details...
but if we cut out the middle man Sho'd finally fuck a female
It was too hard to choose a favorite...


Storm-G - is a wash-up, but he used to write ridiculously good verses. On UA and in the RBL he showcased some of his best stuff that very few could compete with. Even today, his old verses could still hang with a lot of the material around. His ability to use subtle wordplay and quick, but hard punches was in a league of it's own. It's too bad that he stopped caring and suddenly became wack. However, if he wanted to - my guess is that he could pick right up where he left off. You don't just lose illness.
if i dont bake this match.. kid it dont matter
winning wont be a piece of cake but a dish of the batter
One of the many...


MetaSin - had a subtle quality of illness to his raps. He was witty as hell, but his punches weren't all up in your face, either. His verses didn't have the agressive nature that were, and still are, embodied in a lot of the writing today. Despite that, he still managed to come up with incredible punches that even today would be considered nothing short of crazy. MetaSin was, whenever he put his mind to it, one of the greatest.
we both battle, but i guess i just never felt ya Ry
cuz you do text as well as I, just not as well as I


Sur*5*ILL - like MetaSin, he lacked the aggressive nature that was so common. However, what seemed like without effort, he managed to hang with the best of them. For someone who stretched his name so much, it seemed unlikely that he could drop coherent wordplay. But that's exactly what he did. His battle against Epimetheus would be in my Top 5, without a doubt. He managed to drop fresh punches and have so many copiers. People tried to emulate his wordplay, his adjacent lines - but no one was able to master it like him. Unfortunately, I could only find one punch that shows how dope he is - but even that doesn't do him justice.
smash ya wit, high voice in ya audios; ya stance is grim;
Sur murdered this tenor...So there's no chants for hymn;
A master, and one of the originators of homophone based punches.




Can't decide on a number 10... but honorable mentions go to Shadows of Darkness, Defc0n, Radius, Bladerunner, Storm Chamber, Advance, Aloe and others.
