NEW BATTLE RAP MOVIE PRODUCED BY EMINEM AND ROSENBERG

WHAT YALL THINK?

[Geno]

Lmmfaooo
Looks dope.imo

[Diode]

wait this isn't a parody?

[Geno]

Yooo.. Just watches this again. I wish theyd give us a sampl of what the text nerds have. Looks like its gonna be text rapper vs real vocal rapper. Which is dope as fuck. It is gonna bring text right if thjs is what its about. Pretty dope. Looking forward to the results

[Inno]

wait this isn't a parody?

I thought so to but apparently it's not.

Movie is based on a college nerd who decides to make his thesis on battle rap. And the hijinks ensue.

Looks pretty dam dope

[Ghost1]

NO U FUCKIN ASSHILE LARS ALREADY MADE THIS THREAD AND IT SHOULD BE PA8NFULKY FUCKIN OBVIOUS BECAUSE IT'S ONLY 2 THREADS BEING BUMPED EVERY 19 HRS

the fact u have the audacity to even still remain ignorance MAKES ME FURI9US

[Inno]

Shout out to Lars

[sral]

lmao it's all good

i imagine it's all we're gonna see is threads about this movie from the new wave of textcees if it blows up correctly, so we may as well get used to it

Dizasters whole "reading glasses/English classes" is forced as fuck in my accent though, I don't like that ish

pieces, fragments is wack too. See in Fractions was mad nice though. I hate how text made me so picky about what I consider good relevant multies and bad ones

[sral]

wait this isn't a parody?

more satire than parody from what I've read

seems like Kid Twist based it on himself (or at least in part)

Ive seen some pic from twitter with Diz against a greenscreen, stood on a table, and a tweet reading along the lines of "Diz before he bursts into a dragon"

I really, really, hope he doesn't actually get CGI'd into a poor GoT mythical monster but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest should it happen lol

[uh-oh]

lol this should be cool

and honestly i hat diz, never liked him

but he bodied that

the multi's are fine in my dialect of dirtenglish

[Geno]

Diz is dope. i dont follow the battle scene like that. but ive seen him a few times. specially the cassidy joint obv. cass killed his ass but ya. Diz is respectable lyrically anyhow. dont know much about the dude otherwise. i know my homeboy i went to school with rides with diezel or diesel up in philly. hes in the lower tier circuits but the dude is fucking amazing. my homie stacks put me onto him. im sure i knew him coming up it just been so long and he wasnt in my immediate circle so i dont remember. hes dope as fuck tho. last video i watched him battling in he fucking killed the dude. suntin terrible

[Ghost1]

Personally I don't think this will have the effect you're thinking it will for text

For every technological reason text is dead now is every reason why this won't revive it

I think this will definitely see rise to a bunch of imitation written rap leagues......as are already and have already been cropping up.....

Best case scenario for our crowd is that audio/video battle sites would start to pop up.....but text? I could be wrong but I'd be fucking astonished.

[Ghost1]

Also as stated in the other thread.......this would've been way better if it was smack


An that diz shit was garbo? An I'm a fan. Fucking uh oh bases his preferences on fucking neanderthal instinct lol smh

[Geno]

Ya he didnt go to hard. Hope whats in the movie goes harder. Itd be a good look for people like diz publicity wise.

But idk bags. If they put enough empahasis on the there actually being text in the online wormd i think it might raise awareness. There are still a ton of cats who lrolly dont even kniw about the shit and would joi if they did. Idk. Just my thoughts. But its either gonna bring life or bring more death to it

[Ghost1]

Where is every1 even getting the text causation potential from this anyways ? I didn't read the article......is that how they are marketing this? Doesn't look like it from the preview?

The only reason people started text battling after 8mile.....which was obviously not a text battling movie.....was because recording actual battles and or being able to participate in live battles was a lot more difficult than it is now.

8mile wasn't a text movie same as this isn't a text movie.........it's a battle movie that will make people want to battle............most importantly now to consider is the channels and avenues that will make this the most easily and readily available as well as entertaining and self gratifying.

If yah think in 2017 with advanced social media and smart phones that can perform any and all forms of audio and visual recording that the platform this will extend itself out to is text...written battles posted on vbulletin in type font.....then u bumped ur fucking heads.

[Inno]

Well 8 mile was never aimed at text either. It just happened

[MMLP]

Dizasters whole "reading glasses/English classes" is forced as fuck in my accent though, I don't like that ish

LOLOLOL knew you'd pick up on that!

[Ghost1]

Well 8 mile was never aimed at text either. It just happened

I explicitly covered that topic

It was essentially everything I said lol

[uh-oh]

you guys always forget that its kids living at home who also get shamed for whisper rapping audios they don't want their parents to hear them recording

this isn't going to spark a 28 year old man to text battle

but a 14 year old?

how old were all of you when you started

YOU NIGGAS ARE OLD NOW

[sral]

lmao I agree with that

far too many introverted nerdbirds that couldn't/wouldn't rap battle in real life but potentially could be pretty savage from behind the safety of their PC that may take it up

[Chill Phil]

I thought diz bodied the nerd.

[Ghost1]

YOU NIGGAS ARE OLD NOW

I agree...but not with your actual conclusion. I agree that you/we are old. with that in mind your entire frame of thought here is founded in the thought processing of a nearly dead era. the one that is past.

social media is conditioning the younger generations to be more bold in sharing their lives with large crowds of people and even strangers. the meek teenager afraid to express themselves on an online platform due to parental adherence is a relic.

even further beyond that is the specific type of person this will appeal to...regardless of age.....will be rebellious, extraverted, vivacious personalities with little regard for public embarrassment as it will be unevenly weighted against the want and need for public approval and instant gratification

lastly....again....the fault in your logic is in your dated outlook....these teenagers are so far removed from this ancient form of expression that the only reason for them to revert back would be some type of retro or nostalgic valuation which isn't applicable to them nor is it even remotely as stimulating as the new present applications available.

I have zero delusions of this affecting a certain age bracket as you presumed ...seemingly based on your own misconceptions of the accessibility of this product towards a specific outlet.

this will be a catalyst for a new generation and as such they will build it based in their present environment by definition. not the one of their predecessors.

u fucka idiyote.

[Inno]

I explicitly covered that topic

It was essentially everything I said lol

Your right I'm fucking up

But srs

Isn't save to assume from what you said. That social media is giving these kids a new sense of boldness And the straying away of public shame.

If back in the day when we started we were more introverted and didn't have this boldness that we see in today's youth.

And yet we did it.

Would that suggest they would seek out outlets like this website?

Along with social media and shot like that?

If it's possible it won't be a spark or inspiration. Then we can't say the opposite?

[Ghost1]

again covered above.


as far as your closing statement.....theres no disputing that....only time will tell for sure....I wont pretend to be able to predict the future.....but I just don't see this being texts saving grace.

[Geno]

Idk.
Its sad. But bags has a point. The difference between tech then and tech now. I mean they have apps where you can register and its an audio rap battle ap thata basically centered around just that. No text. Which i think would take off before text ever rebirthed. So ya. Point taken

[Witty]

So, what does Eminem's intern have to do with all of this?

[Inno]

He's gonna save text and intern save NC

[Witty]

Sheesh.

He has a promising future.

[Apologeticz]

A little late to this discussion, but I agree with Bagz, I don't think that it will help text. The movie won't be in theaters, and its exposure will be limited, so it won't have anywhere close to the impact that 8 Mile had. Text is like an unacknowledged offshoot of rap, it started to get popular in 2002-2003 for people who wanted to rap, but strictly for those who had the privilege of internet access, which wasn't easy at that time. If video and audio was as available 15 years ago as it is now, I am not sure that text would even be in the discussion at all, because at one time, it was the ONLY outlet to participate online with others from across the world. Some of the best and most popular stage battlers, however have a background in text, but the sad thing is that it's not acknowledged, even though text was the silent influence that helped lay the groundwork for how bars are interpreted and structured, once the internet opened up. When battling with mixtape bars was the thing to do during the early days of Smack DVD, there were text based battle sites that emphasized complex bars, traces of which, and even exact lines that can still be heard some 15-16 years later on major battle rap leagues and platforms. You can literally chronologize the influence of text when guys like Conceited, Q.P., Heartless and others got off of their computers and brought text to the camera, changing battle rap as it was known. Right now, text as it currently is, is outmoded, and is only really acknowledged and practiced among very small circles. However, there is a way to revive it, and that would involve online battle sites ceasing from being so insular, expand their markets to the rest of battle rap via video and even stage, and then recognize text as an important way of battling. If we're all still here then there is a market for it, and if there is a market for it, then it can grow, but it certainly won't grow by itself.

Im not under the delusion this movie or another will get people into text battling. I was just pointing out that if anyone gets into it, the chances are they are a white teen who doesnt want to record themselves audio or visually because they live with white parents who would be like wtf are you doing.

Which is 90 percent of textcee origin stories

You guys are acting like cheap mics and cool edit didnt exist

Im sorta late to the game 04-05ish, but it was as easy to record then as it is now.

Text is for those too ashamed to record, it always was.

[Apologeticz]

Text is for those too ashamed to record, it always was.

That's not true at all. It can be argued that battle rap as it currently is, is text. Long, complex bars that wouldn't fit a beat is exactly what's been happening for almost two decades on text battle sites. It's essentially because of this that the adage "battle rappers can't rap to a beat" came into existence. This adage didn't exist during the days of battling on a beat. When text battlers started battling offline, it influenced battle rap heavy, and the a capella nature of it harmonized perfectly with text style. And no, recording audio was no where close to convenient in the early days of online battling like it is now. Even though Wal-Mart sold $15 mics, most people still didn't use them. Sure, they're easy to buy now in your 20s, but not when you're 14 and it's 2003, asking your parents to buy one for you to use on a battle rap site. Also, some of the programs that were out there for audio, weren't even compatible for every computer.

[Objective]

That's dope af. I'm already looking forward to it. Bet we'll see a lot of new faces around here after it drops.
