Since Everybody's Quitting the whole TEXT thing

[Badweather]

maybe you should try recording music, or making beats.


i quit text a loooong time ago, and started recording a little in high school. I got a lot out of it, and let's be serious, you're more prone to legit feedback from whoever listens to your stuff.


just saying, art is a living thing that evolves because of us. Do something with your love of hip hop and writing, and watch your passion reignite.


Just sayin...

Props - I can raise my glass to this

Yeah, this text battling shit has helped improve my writing skill generally so i hate to see it die slow, even tho i aint got much time nowadays but i still luv text battling every now and then,

I did that, quit, went audio, then went just irl, preforming and lab, then i lost my equipment, and responsibilities and irl bs started mounting up, didnt have the time to invest in recording/producing...so now im back to writing....but i do so to promote my brain more then anything...but yeah I feel u at BW, u should venture out a bit and step outa ur comfort zones.

[Malachi]

Of course I start

When it's dying

[Scott Akers]

it's easier to text

[Rawn M.D.]

and ur the black eye of hip hop Diasik....and ppl tend to feel like they have to perpetuate that to u irl..hence u getting black eyes when u attempt @ performing..

[Scott Akers]

if i'm the black eye of hip hop, your the pink eye of hip hop.

Writing is easier. I'm anti-social/socially awkward. I have a book shelf full of journal entries detailing just how much I hate every one and every thing... BECAUSE THEY WON'T LET ME LOVE THEM. Like I said, writing is easier. I'm in bed right now, watching Sportscenter in my boxers. I'm not up sitting in front of a microphone trying to sound like a rapper sounds. Yea, I could make music, but that shit's hard and takes effort. Not saying you aren't right, but this is my stance.

[Inno]

tbh i just wanna write.

You can very easily compile all your poetry and publish it in a book. It's overwhelmingly easy to do. And last I heard, publishing a book won't force you to stand up in front of people and rap. There's an answer for every excuse

I love to write & a lot of people who've read the little I've done say I should do more with it. Which is exactly what I'm planning to do. Also getting into making beats, but mainly for myself- I want to make some music, not to get a deal, just to express myself more vocally. Pumped. Rawn, Bodey & Bad... I'll be hollering at y'all soon.
