Does anyone have links or saved verses of old longbar battles that were considered dope?
 

I'm just curious as to what that shit used to look like, & what folks considered nice.

The only longbar style I ever knew was from over a decade or so ago, & only certain textcees could pull it off.

I'd like to see what ya'll talk about when u mention "back in longbar days" or "remember such & such used to be coooold w/ it when we was doin longbar back on RTTLGHHSL & UFFH & BBEFFE".

Let's see it.

Lmao.

This saddens me

.

I'll throw something up for u in a min if u want

fair warning though, you won't like it

The emphasis was all about the wordplay, punches took a backseat. And because it's from years ago all the good wp's are now gonna be played

I don't even like it any more tbh

still curious?

Nope, Goldmic is long gone lol

Look at Damien aka D Omen he was the dopest

I resent that fam.

Damien was dope idk bout the dopest lol

Clark Grizzy was Ill... Lord shivas

I liked nawkout aka count rapula

btw dominate was dope as fuck too lol

lol I think u were better honestly. I used to read all ur jawns

Hollafront had the dopest battlers too

I was from Hhe and ihh... An original lol

PROBLEM

I've got most of my old battles from HF, including my battle with Damien which is hella long. 11th Dynasty also has a site where he hosts like one battle and a bunch of his old freeflows, but I always felt as if Dyn was overrated. Dame was dope, but I don't have any of his stuff

pretty much everything was 500x longer. It wasn't just the length of the lines...practically every battle was 14 bar minimum

Post your battle with Dame please

And expose myself for recycling? Psh, you cray cray

This was in 2005. The first punch is relevant to what *was* a current event. it's been almost a decade...you can't really compare the shit to what we're doing now. There's also personals that I'm not going to bother explaining - everyone on HF knew each other well enough to get them

This is NYVillan's verse in the 3 v 3 match-up with Me, NYVillan and Po*Tense (who noshowed and me and NY ended up ghosting a verse using his style)

versus Beyond, Supremace and Kaos

It was the finals of the 3 v 3 Tournament I believe


I Cause Violence For Certain!, I Already Sonned You, Think This Is A Continuing Cycle On Purpose?/
Glock Don’t Forget Im Nice With My Words Kid!, Cause Everything That ‘Came Out Of Glock’ Punish Um Written, So I Told Po* To ‘Bite The Bullet’.... So He ‘Recycled His Verses’!!!!//1 (omg)

Read any old Metaphive, Phroxen, or Problem verse

Now THAT'S oldschool. But I don't remember any of them really using long bar. We're taking it back to the Sha77er S7ar era out here. Like 1999 shit

‘Pull On Him, He’s Gonna Call Me An Animal’ Like The Fuccin Game ‘See And Say’!!!

LOL

LoL @ the running commentary through the verse (omg!)

Pretty sure at least I never did that

Me and SubtleT used to do that shit to make fun of people always thought it was hilarious trying to make people think something

So Ill Soak This Bastard, So Sup Note Your Average!, Cause Your Personals Go To ‘Noah Veil (No Avail)’ And I’m Not Talking About ‘Methuselah’s Grandson Wearing A Cloaking Fabric’!!!//4

this was considered good

lol

Meta used to be pretty ruthless w/ long bar, tho

The whole Gold Mic era

I used to be on a site called Death-Spits w/ guys like -WhYSe-, Nightmare, silencer, Enzyme, one_der, Phroxen, SugaShane, XL, Problem, Sevin, etc.

I remember u were dope as fuck too lol

u know who else I liked but what really underrated

~kaos~

I was known as Rep Atishun for awhile.

Aka Authent!k aka $ho MoN.Y

This thread makes me want to quit life.

Answer' verse wasnt bad at all

Answer was always trying to stop people doing retarded flips... I think

I remember on HF somebody did a parody verse full of wp with theeee most forced, ridiculous, hilarious flips... was it Reed? @anime_boners

lol @ (omg) (DAMNN) after the punches I did that vs black on RW

Pretty sure that was Damien

lmaoooo im glad battling changed tbh

i feel like this is the text equivalent of finding your dad's hiphop mixtape from when he was 24

this is like finding out your dad was a member of coldplay

yo u niggas need to chill

yea shit got real ridiculous especially towards the end of IHH with people forcing wordplay etc

Never really liked the style due to the quotations italics anf bold fonts
but I guess it reassured the punch for the slow readers

lol, you guys think damien was good? kid sucked balls, he got embarrassed on rm on numerous occasions. i like how a lot of you old longbar heads now realise how retarded everything you were doing was.. we'd been telling you it for years, guess you just had to learn that on your own.

to be honest, I really never even read any of the set-ups. I just jumped to the punches, because that's all that really mattered back then.

and most people disliked Damien because he developed a huge ego, which was completely unmerited, but it doesn't change the fact that he was a great writer (in text). Audio is a different story

Logic_4Dub is probably my favorite battler of all time - but I don't have any of is HF verses. His were considered short compared to the rest of the site. This is all I can find

in a tag match:

"I'll never break - me n' phob got more 'Answers for Sick Lines' - than calls that Medics Take
for heavens sake -.. these dudes are Phoney-BelowKnees..... like 'Prosthetic Legs"

and you people wondered why you were looked down upon by everyone else.

I did my best to not change much


I'm Through Playin Games With Homos
This kids a runaway bride, this Dame only gets his fame from noshows
This fags slow, spitting Ignorant Things
Voters could read between the lines & all they'll see is pictures & links
Gets What He Deserves? Doubtin It Wigga
Takes noshow W's cuz riders are like birds, they go south for the winner
Dame is overrated, do the math, it's critical
He's got his head so far up his ass that he makes sniffing crack a ritual
I'll uppercut ya gut til I'm beatin you normal
So much food in ya stomache I'll make you spit up twice, bulimics in oral
You fucking faggot, I will actually slash you
and you best best believe the whip won't stop, like cabs for a black dude
You beatin me? Plz, I'll take em out in a sec
Quit dreaming - I'll pinch em and really give this faggot his reality check
And now I'm back with a rap to snuff you
Cuz I'll put him on blast in about ten seconds, like a fucking Nasa shuttle
For real, you dont wanna get checked dog
Fightin me, you're putting ya life in the ring & he ain't sonic the hedgehog
As far as winning? Pfft....quit lyin you punk
You really must be 'playin yoself'... like games of streetfighter with One
Am I clowning ya girl? Nah, not my business
But OMAN in a battle is like ya thread w/ yum - a competition of bitches
Calling yaself Damien doesn't fit ya purpose
How you 'never get off ya knees', ya name should be Christian Churches
Fighting with me is futile, for starters damnit
I'll have Dame laid out on his back quicker than a licensed car mechanic
Chips stacked against em, he'll begin to boil up
Tomorrow he'll be 'faced up in a suit'... like I'm revealing a royal flush
and I dont think I've seen anyone jocked harder
Cause damn, you got more bitches kissing ya cheeks than Bob Barker
What's fucked up, is w/ that cellulite, damn man
I imagine kissin his ass would be like making out w/ the grand canyon
I'll have Dame frightened, scared of a nuisance
Drink away the pain & u'll be 'Drunk'n Knees Knockin' - redneck family reunions
Got em embarrassed bout the fact that he faced me
He'll be trying to cover his head, but he's too fat to play free safety
No time to school you, so after class - stay yo
If you're smart you'd just cut da tension and take ya ass straight home
But seriously, I don't need 15 bars to murk you
I'll have his ass running home before 11, like he's got a fucking curfew
You whine like a bitch cuz no one liked you before
But you'd be good for games with milton bradley, ya life's on the board
Fake ass thug, come around talking trash and shit
I'll pull your card and show it to everyone faster than a fucking magic trick
This little fake thug's acting hard, but fuck words
He can try to come to my crib and serve me, I'll make em my fucking butler
You overweight fuck, makin me look like a medium
Cuz every time he stands up, we laugh.. you should be a fuckin comedian
Who's best of the best? I got you losin w/ flare
Cuz in this match the last man standing'll takes the loss like musical chairs
But seriously how many times you recycled before?
D's verses like parody threads, cuz everything you say, I've seen it before
Open ya ears cause I'm here to lyrically rap you
Trust I'ma skullfuck him with std's til he'll be stuck hearing with aids, too
