So what originally brought you here?

[Born To Kill]

Some cocklicker on another website, Prowrestling.com (I like WWE, go fuck yourself!)...

Just kept fucking with me...being an internet tough guy...blah, blah, blah...
Then for some reason, he started insulting me in rhyme.
I did it back. Peeps at PW.com didn't give a shit...told us to take it elsewhere.
So assbreath linked me to here...we battled...
He left, I stayed...

That was it.

I can't even remember his name or what he went by now, it was so long ago and I've seen about 3 million usernames since.

[Mimic]

I found RB on google after i got asked to host a street battle, back in 2007, 'N' i typed in google some shit like 'how to judge rapbattles' and this site was the first linked, i clicked it and found the community and decided to stay

But, then took a two year break and came back late 2008.

[Sir Skiddz SoPhrenic]

Sir Cedrych / Hypnotic brought me here cuz he told me about a story of what happened to Shemy (a member in like 02 / 03 that Chrit made want to commit suicide) and I know Ced and Shemy in real life so I had to join to see what it was about. Damn, 7 years flew by fast :'(

[Mic Dareall]

I was on another smaller similar forum way back in the day, the owner merged it with another forum he bought...I didn't like the new people that came with it. That site had a directory of other rap sites, RB was one of them.

I could have swore Ha'Style told me a similar story about how he got here. Is he the other one you're talking about?

[fo'trill]

I had been joining random sites trying to get better when my girl Chase showed this site in '03. Been coming ever since. Out of all the message boards i've signed up for, i've actually stayed on this one.

[II]

I found the link on wikipedia, really I did

[Meks.]

i straight typed in rapbattles.com the morning of my 18th birthday all drunk ...

and found exactly what i was looking for.

[Zanny Willson]

Shit I haven't even been here that long Haha.


I'm pretty sure Limewire was fucking with my computer and I was trying to find another way to get music on google. I don't remember how it came about, because obviously I don't download my music here and shit but I ended up here. I joined a forum or two before so I just joined for the fuck of it and I've been here ever since.
