absolutely, that's why when ppl leave votes and are just simply like "yea i saw that" without caring about how it was flipped it's just boring

Hope everyone has a blessed Sunday
People shouldn’t read votes before they vote anyway, people are far too easily impressionable
I don't auto write off a bar coz I've seen the wordplay before, but if u do use something I've seen several times then the bar is that much higher for it to really hit.
Yea of course, it has to be flipped well. But a concept being used before multiple times doesn't matter as much if they DO flip it well. Ppl who have done text for longer have just seen more concepts used in general so obv things end up being played more easily for them.
When I'm voting and see a wordplay or concept I've seen before, first I ask the question "Was this any different from what I've already seen?" and if it is, then I evaluate the bar on its own merits, using a set of attributes as my guideline. If it's way too similar or lesser in quality, then I discredit the bar based on that. That rarely happens because I try to be objective, but sometimes it's necessary.
a lot of respectable opinions in this thread
well done team
wise words we can all learn from. i just hope we dont see a beef/feud wordplay or a defeat fetish bar from someone whos getting any funny ideas
imagine a defeat w/p bar in 2022
i'd auto vote for the guy out of respect #throwback
my battle is ready for votes
What I love about text is that you see concepts and wordplays that live battle rappers from different leagues struggle to pull off or drop it with the self-confidence that what they've said is so original, and many of those concepts and wordplays have been used by textcees for nearly 3 decades. I'm appreciative of everything I managed to learn from text, when my granddaughter turned 16 I tried to get her into it because she has a knack for creative writing but she gave that up after the malaria.
Lol
Can somebody listen to the new episode (4) of LES and tell me what the audio quality sounds like? I moved all my equipment into a studio and I'm trying to get the levels down.
Seems like this is the new Lounge. Shame the actual one was overrun by unstable minds.
What happened to Toobs and Spartacus?
Don't say that name out loud or the current wave of lounge gremlins will descend upon us like people who were irrationally trying to piss you off used to say shit about wheelchairs, a crowd of which I do not wish to be associated with (either crowd, the wheelchair spamming morons or the current lounge morons).
Damn shame what happened to the lounge, it's looking like a well paid advertisement to the potential benefits of a lobotomy.
Suffice to say, you may be able to infer I may be someone who was known for being perpetually drunk.
Nice to have you back. That one crazy bitch scared me away from the lounge. She is actually mentally insane. I am enjoying my life and don't need my empathy for bottom shelf people ruining my good mood

You still drink a lot? I drink less but micro breweries are popping so the quality of beer I'm drinking is top tier
Where’s FirstRobert?
Crafty inquiry.
Has anyone ever implied that you have engaged in unconventional recreational activities? You know, like... let's say for example havingsex with aman?
I like the way this guy uses the text. Makes for a fun read. Keep being you, Robert.
Lmaoooooo
Welp, we know who it is now.
Well, he did endure roughly a decade of being told on here that his favorite ride/snack/recreation was in fact penis. Took it like a champ, sometimes it was rough and abrasive and other times it was slow and tender.
Exactly how hard do you want this man to be for you, exactly?
