Just noticed as of last month I've text battled for a decade

How should I feel about this?

Accomplished!!

I used to think I did text battles for too long...but Now i look back an realize it helped me become a more creative writer when it comes to making my music today..

Text battles neva gonna fade outta style....shits a whole different category of creativeness.

Congrats on the years put in!

My first rap battle was in 2000. I feel you. We're losers.

@dead man

that means you too pal

[dull boy]

I did it from like '98 through '12 or something. I miss it, sometimes. You've just gotta be sure to branch out and what not.

7-9 years I was like "damn that's lame of me" but hitting double digits puts it on a whole 'nother level

^Exactly... Text battling is juz like a gateway drug to tha hip hop world

[oats]

True. I find topicals to be more interesting and fulfilling than battling, def not as embarrassed about that side of competition. It's been a fun journey, but one that very few people in my life know about.

I battled on IHH and HF in like 05 or 06 when I was 12. That time was not a high point in my life obviously.

I hope your all here into your 40s no destroyer

Newcomers will bow before our wrinkly scrotums

[dead man]

I haven't text battles in years dude. But if you have been doing it actively for a decade straight you better be the fucking best IMO.

[dead man]

Dunno why I even log on here anymore honestly. Moreso habit now than anything.

[El Muffin]

I ask myself the same question...considering I dont txt battle as much as I used to

I genuinely enjoy this site..even the ppl I dislike

[YDK]

I've been doing it for like....12 years now, started when I was 14 back on the ave. didn't show up here till a couple years ago and discovered topicals about 6 or 7 years ago...I'll be doing it till i'm dead tbh hope ya'll are still here too

[oats]

I think I just enjoy message boards. I actually wrote a little essay on it the other day, will post it on my blog when I get back from brazil. But as someone who was part of the first wave of having the internet, there's still something truly fascinating and remarkable to me about interacting with people I would otherwise never encounter in my daily life. That we interact over a shared love of hip hop and writing (two things I care deeply about but most of my friends don't) makes this site ideal.

Fanny pack would stay loose like a g. But I'd squint in your direction and keep you in my peripheral at all times.
