name your text battle idol. and be real bout it it.

[Geno]

We've all had one, some of us still do and just won't admit it. Well I'm gonna tell y'all who mine is and why.

So even if you don't have one now cause you personaly think your own sshit don't stink (and if that's the case u can say so) ..but even so, at one point you had one.. who was it and why

I got hush
The nigga a witty genius
Crushed me in the bad blood tourny pt 1 back when netcees 1.0 had its biggest collection of battling superstars at one time.
So I watched him ever since. No homo you fagot lookers, and I hated on the dood for a while.. but then as I went from paragraph to settup/delivery style writing.. I was like yo, the kid is nasty for real.

There's a shit ton of other dope writers. But that's my pick, and my why

What's yours. Don't be a fagot and be scared to say it.

[Frank Metts]

Umm I always liked this dude who went by sept jr. On bboys ... actually taught me a lot when I first started writing real complex punches
Hush my dude too.. at one time he said I was a genius with concept when on the real that dude just know how to take anything and word it into a quotable

And I've always fucked with Allen Knight style ... fucking reminds me of 90s pissy staircase gutter rap


my homie @lefty ... do I really have to say why? He's just an amazing writer all around

And of course the wigga who put me on J. Metts ... when he's has motivation I don't think theirs a cat who can outwit outfunny or out write him...

More then one but you know taste change from ttime to time but these dudes are timeless

[Jim Blaze]

When i first started blue bayou was my hero. He still is pretty dope. His wordplay is the blueprint. After i beat him a few times he lost some of his herolike aura to me....but when i first got here i was like yo.....this dude is the truth.

[Plot]

STRONGARM was dope.
http://strongarmgankedu.webs.com/openmictextpieces.htm

[Witty]

Mystery Murderer....dunno if anyone here remembers him, but I always thought he was the best.

I'm not into text like that tho, I dunno the history and the top dudes n shit so my opinion might not mean much but from what I have seen, he was probably my favourite.

[dull boy]

I've had dozens I like. I usually gravitate to a certain style. No one any of you would know by name. I like weirdos. Whys is dope. Coup. Cake. Black. Vulgar. Oats. Neighbor and Manhattan are good, but I don't like their style all the time. They've both seen too many episodes of Miami Vice/Scarface.

Don't think I've ever had a crush.

Impolite on RF was really dope.

[Geno]

Had to take it somewhere else with that crush shit, didn't you?

them cats are dope to though, everyone in here that's been mentioned is nice with it so far.
But ya. I'm just bored as fuck rite now

[Split]

always thought Hush/ Orc had dope bars

Hush has ill concepts, Orc has dope wording



open mic shit... I dunno. Flavor of the week
always liked Black's storytelling method.
I've always been a big fan of BWA's rhyming.
vulgar with dat wordplay

[Meth]

Orc's style is just absolutely fun to read.

Blue is the man when it comes to wordplay.
An joe. Joe is dope.

[Witty]

There was a dude called Engivale who I think was probably my favourite OM writer of all time.

Followed closely by Black and Baron Mynd back when he still did it properly.

This site though probably has more depth in writing talent than any I've been on tbh There are countless dope writers who are still posting things here. Dudes like dull boy, pancake, wise, vulgar, oats, split, zygote, pent.

Also honourable mention to Cry and Brandon Cee who for a long time were my main competition and to this day can write better than most of the people who do this.

[dead man]

Dynasty was always one of my favorites to read. Battles and otherwise. Even had his archives bookmarked some years back for sheer dopeness.

[Sharp]

Word at most of this thread, +1 to hush. but Swerve's wording consistently impressive to me cause theres always this tone that makes it seem mad condescending. that alone makes some of his shit work so well

just a lil thing ive noticed that stuck out at me

[Diode]

and lo, on the seventh day richard corey rested - for he had completed the hip hop scrypture, and he saw that it was good.

[Strikta]

Mudfoot.

Relentless Fist was the truth back when text was in it's prime. I looked up to dude when it came to writing verses.

Advance/Andy was dope af too.. another idol.

& Medichi... Med used to be a headache.. but no doubt one of my text idols & biggest rival as well.

[God Of War]

battle wise has to be hensley

imo he is still one of the best battlers to ever battle in text ...can come back right now and body dudes then no show 6 times and leave for a year lol

[Neighbor]

Oneduh

[~RustyGunZ~]

Back in the day Excel

Now no one since I'm the best

[Aesthetic]

Aesthetic, that nigga got swag.

No, coup is up there with GOW, Witty and Geno.

[Certain]

Mudfoot.

Was that the guy who dominated a bunch of lower- to mid-tier sites back in 2000-2002 and boasted about a record like 300-5?

[God Of War]

cats do that shit still today man, beat 200 newbies and claim there relevant

[Geno]

^probably.

I remember hearing talk of this guy. Don't think I've ever been around the same forums with him tho

[~RustyGunZ~]

Was that the guy who dominated a bunch of lower- to mid-tier sites back in 2000-2002 and boasted about a record like 300-5?

That would be me

but 05-08

[dull boy]

lol @ people keeping track of their text battle record

[Neighbor]

Just cuz GoldMic did it for you

[Plot]

I remember that site, it was strange you could view the verses but couldn't view the votes unless you were a member and it had some difficult shit to sign up so I'd just read some battles and not know what the fuck was going on and leave baffled.

[Jim Blaze]

WORD. I also was not abke to navigate that site and left highly confused.

[Defy Gravity]

Witty how dare you not pick me.

[Witty]

Defy Gravity is dope too.

YOU FUCKING HAPPY NOW??

[Hush]

Thanks Geno

Mine was Alien


But my og txt mentor was John Dough tbh


Medichi and Advance was my niggas too




Looked up to Orc alot

Frank Metts was the first battler I tried emulating when I started texting again in like 07/08

[Frank Metts]

Thank god you stopped that lol ...

[Defy Gravity]

Witty :)

[Xquisite]

User, Resin, Hensely, Metasin, Kung Fu Grip, Oneduh, Lefty, John Dough, Calefaction, and i'm sure a bunch of other names I'm forgetting about.

[Sn00p]

mine was kung. dude had, to me, the best wording, concepts and comedy. butler & hens come close tho.

[Neighbor]

Damn, here I was thinkin I inspired niggas

[Maximus]

A bunch of dope heads tbh but mostly Knux and Orc..

[Frank Metts]

Damn, here I was thinkin I inspired niggas

I'm like you I'm not bragging but I thought at least one metts would get some pic battle shine lol

[PancakeBrah]

Battling was a guy named Cornbread on a no-name site way back in like 05 or 06. Forgot the exact time I did this back in the day. We were all wack looking back on it, but he probably could've gone to the legit sites and done well. As far as netcees goes I like Bags style.

Open Mic it's a mix of dull/bwhaha, Black, Vulgar, and oats. Whys for schemes sometimes.

When I first tried SnF I just straight up tried to ape Neighbor's style and didn't really try to hide it.

[murda sho]

KungFuGrip the nigga that made me into the ass kicker i am today.

[Wise Wiggles]

Black
dullahaha
Recluse

[Blue Bayou]

short bar kung and hens

[Coup]

got respect of J. hens...I had 5 no-show victories to put me in champ match against him...dude went in

edit

also think Hush is dope

[Neighbor]

Wow, didn't realize BB was here

[Blue Bayou]

officially back .. how r ya bud?

ppl need reminding

[KwaL!ty]

Hens
Butler
Kung
RekLuse
Gryme
Gods City
Haste
Corey

[Joe Metts]

USER and Butler.

[Joe Metts]

Idol is a bad word to use tho.

I just thought they was the nicest and kinda combined their styles. Funny and grimey.

[oats]

I always looked to hush, gow, Orc, arch and king for battling.

For oms it was black and cry, later on guys like vulgar, fice, pent and 3pa. Whys and dullhaha for sheer rhyming/flex stuff.

[murda sho]

Idol is a bad word to use tho.

I just thought they was the nicest and kinda combined their styles. Funny and grimey.

word i dont idolize none of these niggas they was just ill... like butler and hens always had some crazy shit... it was a nigga named Cronus last time i was here that was nice too

[TYSON]

No idols but I read TYSON'S battles and felt my name was represented well.

[Hush]

Damn, here I was thinkin I inspired niggas

U def pushed me to stay on top

I'd name u as motivation if anything

[Mael]

Hush - probably the funniest textee I've read. I still remember reading his verse against Beyond, those eye liners had me rolling. lol @ "ya eyesite like ya phone book - one contact". Dude is witty and funny af.

Alien - Brutal delivery. I always imagined Alien with the voice of authority (or some shit). Dude was sick, verses were always heavy.

Beyond - most technically complex, but has bars that are flawless when he drops 100%.

All time though, I'd say olorun from HF. His creativity was bar none. Reading his verse just makes you wonder where the fuck he gets his ideas from.

[Certain]

Cimmerian amazed me back in the day.

[Frank Metts]

U def pushed me to stay on Top

I'd name u as motivation if anything

You pushed me duke ...

You prob the only one on the real

[Neighbor]

Who's pushin dook?

[Sho Money EMG]

Nawkout aka count rapula

[Neighbor]

Little Steve & Giant Hand Jones also influenced me to elevate my pen game

[Strikta]

officially back .. how r ya bud?

ppl need reminding

What's up, bud?

How's things?

[Neighbor]

Seriously

[StarFaggot]

S-Nova from Rapworld was good.

My text crush is Aero

[oats]

Back in the day, it was Ill explicit and center sight who were the shit on planetrap. Akshun too.

[Sho Money EMG]

I always liked dominate too

[Sho Money EMG]

Also back in the day I was a big fan of Clark grizzy

[Formal Logic]

Anyone in Unholy Mercenaries

Aloe, John Dough, Resin, Calefaction, User, G.O.A.T, there's quite a few others.

[Pinot Grij]

Cimmerian amazed me back in the day.
The only motherfucker that could ever fuck with what Cimmerian did is SacriFICE. Cimm was the fuckin man.

[Orc]

this is a good thread idea. mine would be butler. always wished i could battle him again. too clever w/ it. blows my wording out the water ha. hush and alien, when i first joined NC they were untouchable. kung too.. his wording was something i tried emulate

[Sn00p]

kung too.. his wording was something i tried emulate

you don't say. on the real tho, u've come pretty close to him wording-wise by now. props on that forreal.

[God Of War]

you don't say. on the real tho, u've come pretty close to him wording-wise by now. props on that forreal.

SHUT IT

[Sn00p]

SHUT IT

huh?

[Darth Yoda]

I don't idolize any battlers. But writing wise, probably dull boy and BWHAHA. But a crush or idolization wouldn't be ideal phrasing.
Neighbor/ Manhattan ( Beretta ) are also good writers; and yes what dull said they watch too much Miami Vice/Scarface/WWE Pay-Per-Views.
Zombie 's pretty good, too.

I know certain names are just credited to being thrown out there just cause of their name sake, but some of zygote 's drops are very intriguing, but just like that other drops are just what I expect, not to say they were bad, though.

Anything from here on out is just listed as good writers, not particularly I look up to, or try to emulate. There's really 1-2 people I try to learn from because they excel (or have excelled) in places I do not (particularly well as they do) but then again everybody says I'm them, so there's that.

That whole psychological deep withered space babble that gets elected in OM's isn't fulfilling or 'dope' in my opinion. It's good writing but, I feel everythings the same, the same monotone bearing that just won't get out of it's comfort zone.

[dull boy]

Just cuz GoldMic did it for you

I thought that when I said that, but I stopped paying attention after a while. Battling is largely political. Rep+style divided by manipulation X skill = wins. People win battles based off persona. Not to knock battling, but wins and losses don't mean much, imo. Sometimes I lost on purpose just because I wanted to try a new style, when I knew ol' faithful would have gotten me the W.

Sounds cocky. So you weren't just trying to break out of a zone to better yourself, it was just to 'try' a new style? Gay.

[KwaL!ty]

Damn no fucking way oats you are the same one from PlanetRap.net

<---use to run with Aplha Mega, Bar Buryin, Crewsader, Kop!ed Stylez, Jimmy Neutron, Hades..

i always wanted to ask if you where the same head.

[dead man]

Dominate was also really impressive to me for a long time and still remains pretty much the only battler besides glock I get excited to read a verse from. I could see myself at one point trying to emulate his style, especially back on IHH when he was dominating. Obv no pun intended but yea.

[dull boy]

Sounds cocky. So you weren't just trying to break out of a zone to better yourself, it was just to 'try' a new style? Gay.

Better yourself? Sounds like caring. I don't care. That's why I'm replying to you.

[R!canTheoryz]

Hush is my text idol

[Sn00p]

huh?
God Of War?

[Untold]

Butler was always my favorite battler. Hens was right there with him

Shake-zula was cool to and a few others from around '05-'06 era

[oats]

who were you on PR?

[KwaL!ty]

Will Barrell oats. only battled few times, i know Bar Burryin, Genocide, Platini, Jimmy Neutron, CrewSader all in person.

Platini was dope
Arsenal was dope
Lockz was dope

[oats]
