Over the years, times have changed but we have mistakingly continued to run things as if it were the early to mid 2000's. Everybody finds there way back to Rapbattles.com in search of a nostalgic moment and are often surprised to see that we're still around but just a shade of what we once were.
Our goal is to revitalize rap battling to its core and to breed the next generation of battlers. We want you to enjoy your experience and the culture that many of us have been immersed in for years if not over a decade.
The first step of reaching our goal is focusing on the textual aspect of this art form. In order to do this, we will begin running quarterly major tournaments in addition to smaller tournaments as well. The quarterly tournaments will be seasonal and will have a reward as an incentive to keep you all focused on coming hard and dropping jaw dropping punches in order to make a name for yourself.
In order to enter our Major Tournaments, you will be required to be active in smaller tournaments, leagues Front Lines as well as Open Mics. Essentially, you must be active here and willing to participate in order to be eligible for the prized tournaments.
We do understand that you do not come here and battle for the money/prizes but we want to include that as an incentive to push you to be the best battlers you can be. Whether you do this as a hobby or are serious about the art of battling / creating music, it takes talent which all of you are capable of mastering. We want to do our part on getting you where you need to be in order to be the best.
If you are not interested in participating or being pushed to greatness, by all means ignore this message and continue posting in the lounge. If you want to be pushed, tested and challenged as a writer in order to earn something from a pen; we are doing this for you.
