About Rap Battling (No Beef)

[El Original]

we make music for what it is... an art form.. a way to get inside others minds... fuck battling cunts, fuck dissing cunts, fuck being fake by saying ya real... its the music. look around. your in life not in a fucking computer game... i dont care if ya get hate towards me... your just letting out what you wanna say like i just did... it has nothing do with like and hate... its just about life and music being turned into something it should not be... dont let it become a part of the blinded earth. music is truly a natural beauty... dont let it become like human beauty; fake as fuck much respect peace oh yeah also... ask ya self why you getting worked up over a rap battle? is it your destiny to win? is it your lifes purpose? it means nothing.

(Dont mean to diss anyone just saying you dont have to reply)

Some niggaz have no lives. So to some people out there...their lil "internet reputation" or their records mean the world to them.
And then on another note...
...some of these kats are soooo passionate about their music or their written lyric, that when it's attacked in any form, they take it to heart right away. There's alot of different individuals out there. Ya never know who is who!
Me!?
Music I enjoy. But it's Hip-Hop that I love.
I didn't have it in my heart to be a college boy and put myself through school...but on another note, I didn't have the desire to sit and rott as a thug in the streets like alot of my peers.
I wanted more in life.
And as slightly greedy as it sounds...I didn't want a mediocre life either.
Suddenly...music enters the "empty room" I called a life...
...and it all made sense.
I feel what you're sayin. Alot of niggaz need to be able to seperate real life from the music, but I'm guilty too...sometimes that statement is alot easier said than done.

yeah u have a valid point but i think your taking it too serious. i only do text and i have no ambition to do audio or anything. yeah your right about there not being much point but i find battling caters to my over competitve side. id rather battle people with a verse than do some of the other shit i used to be into.

not everyone takes it seriously... honestly its just for fun..but i personally just battle to keep myself from rusting cuz i tend to take rap breaks for months from time to time..since im doing audio now im mainly just lookin for ideas and to be perfectly honest.. i battle because i can't find nobody to cypher with and i usually cypher to practice and improve..so as a substitute i battle just to keep my mind goin, from all 7 years of battling online from forums to chats, i've learned that.. some people do it just to be creative and free spirited as a lyrical artist..and others do it out of a competitive motive that winning is the most important thing, and its not..without losing it makes it difficult to improve ur faults..so even losing is healthy in a battle cuz it makes u want to do better unless ur a quitter, music is music.. battling is battling... i personally type over beats that play over n over, whether its battling or just writing for a track, but i think alot of people r just striving for the win because naturally people r too damn competitive and will do anything to win and complain if they lose..its not just about lyrical content and music..its with everything...everyone on here who dickrides and or hates does it because that's wat they would do reguardless so its more than just wat u know or see
