It's not that he's actually dissing Jason; it's just not necessary to make these stupid "raps". If they wanted to joke with each other, they could just do it in private because people like DJ are just littering the writing forum with this annoying shit. Other people who made Jason dissing raps had their topics closed. I don't see why this hasn't been closed yet.

Okay, I don't see why you have to close these threads. Just because you don't appreciate a part of hip hop for what it is (not all but some of you) doesn't necessarily give you the right to just close down threads and attack people for doing something they enjoy. Battling is a part of rapping and the hip hop culture. How can you not consider a "rap" writing? Lots of lyrics have many aspects of poetry such as metaphors and alliteration and multi-syllable rhyme schemes. If you guys dislike it soooooo much, why don't you atleast bring another sub forum for it. If not, this malfeasance has got to stop. I know im a new member and all and I know that there are already people who don't like me and most of you don't know me but shit, hip hop is something I love so why should I or anyone else be stifled from presenting hip hop in lyrical writing or battle tracks?

^ Weren't you the one hating on my song? o.O

Why the hell would I waste my time asking them? But is it not obvious? Hello, child, if people are having a 1 on 1 freestyle, why must they post it up when they can do it privately on an instant messenger? Or E-mail? Or PM? Why? So they can get people to encourage them and give them positive feedback because they're oh so cool for dissing other people. You people need to grow up or make a "litter forum" and post it there.

What does that matter? I refer to people older than me as 'kids' or 'children' all the time.

^ lol dang.





Waste your time? Why are you wasting your time now? Do you see us as some sort of lower being or something? Don't talk shit about something you don't understand or comprehend. Why we post? Because we want to know who won the battle. So people can read/hear our lyrics and enjoy it or if they dislike the lyrics cause the guy "sucks" then give him constructive criticism. And just to clarify, it's not a freestyle

Oh well. As if I give a damn if it's a freestyle or not. And quite frankly, I don't know why I'm wasting my time here either, but I have a lot of free time, so why not? Alright then, I'll give constructive criticizm, but I can't help but be a little mean in my responses. I won't bitch about actually closing the topics, but I can almost assure you, there will not be one rap that'll impress me. I know I sound really arrogant, but it's the truth. For me at least. What can I expect from Jason and DJ? The "rap artists" here on CB...

Do you realize you only addressed the last statement which wasn't even a question and really had no relevance? I don't mean to be mean but why do we care if we impress you? If we do, cool, thanks for the love, if not, okay, I'll work harder. If I'll never impress you, oh well, not all people enjoy rap. Good for them. I love all sorts of music personally. I'm an artist, what about me, already disappointed in me without having heard any of my tracks? I have one in entertainment. You said you liked my poem, I wrote that originally as a rap, so I guess you did find one that impressed you

[edit] my fault, you addressed the "why you waste your time" in a brief but meaningless manner as well.

damn i was kidding lol i didnt even listen


edit - anna in your gerpok it says you are listening to method man haha

It was a song I ripped from a Miss E CD that I have.

Of course people don't care if they impress me. But why are my opinions significant enough for you to actually be debating with me rather than saying "This kid is full of shit and isn't worth my time"?
Well, you're a good writer then. But the people on CB consistently making RAPS, aren't good in my opinion.

^ Haha I questioned that too..

But yes, the threads ARE member bashing, whether they're joking or not. If I went around insulting someone and you didn't know if I was joking or not, you would think I really didn't like them, wouldn't you?

You guys are getting mad at people for calling the raps stupid, but you guys have said much worse things about people in them. If calling it stupid bothers you, even if it's joking, the other person probably feels bad. Someone could come up to me and say, "You're an ugly peice of shit. HAHA, Just joking!" and even if they're joking, it still offends.

Understand?

^ people who battle agree to battle...so therefore they would know not to take it seriously. If they do, then they shouldn't be battling in the first place, and that's their fault. If you can't take constructive criticism, don't battle. if you can't take a few jokes and shit directed toward you, don't battle. But that's for them to decide, not you.




I care enough because you're trying to close down something we want to do. You're arguing against us on a topic that is my life, so why wouldn't I debate?

if you are battling in real life... you are put against an opponent you know little about.. maybe he is even your friend... the point of the battle is to embarass and humiliate your opponent... you can give him dap after the battle and continue but during the battle you are trying to do that... its the whole point... if these threads are not allowed, then the threads in forum games called "diss the member above you, burn, say something negative about the member above you" should not be allowed either...

fall back it's not that serious...

Obviously it's serious enough to have a thread about it. People asked why it was closed; I explained. Why are you telling me to "fall back"?

i was talking to the people that said it should be closed

*APPLAUSE*

however...

i get the whole member bashing should be closed thing... but... if both parties take it as light hearted fun, then i dont think it really should constitue bashing...

and, whether you like it or not (and i dont) rap is a legimate form of writing, and as such has a place in the writing forum

Exactly why I said: 'whatever'.

I really don't care any more. I just have a legitimate reason to keep out of that forum now.

i agreeee



exactly.




DJ, I couldn't agree with you more.

But what about when people read it and then reply saying "Haha yea he's such a loser!" or something...I've been in the chat when things like this were being posted...ehhh. It seems kinda mean to me.

If people just kept it off the forums, there would be no problem. And if it's really a joke, it should go in Humor. Writing is for legitimate, serious writing pieces, and people take topics in there as such. Humor is for jokes.

well if something is intended as lighthearted, and taken a different way, the problem is with the interpretation, not the writing

i mean, people have taken things in debate personally, but that's no reason to censor the opinions of the offender. i mean, its the same kind of thing

also, i dont see why humourous pieces cant go in writing. i mean, if i wrote a short story which was funny, it wouldnt have to go in humour, would it?

we could all stand to be more lighthearted

ok listen, i'm not going to be like you and start crap. but if you want to get your opinion through well then, you can do it nicely ok?

And no it is not obvious to me, people in cB would like to have a good laugh once in awhile but you just don't like that do you? hello, child, who said anything about being cool? maybe you need to get some glasses dear, because you obviously can't read what anybody is saying or maybe you are just too stubborn.

-oh and btw, i agree with james.

look at what happened all because of a little joke.

I am not going to lie about the situation because I agree with everyone's POV so I understand where they are coming from. I myself dont mind seeing one or two raps on one page but at the same time I dont think the writing forum should be clouded and overshadowed with raps. I respect all forums of poetry but I guess since I have such a high sense of humor I enjoy reading disses as long as they are out of fun and good nature. I also think that if two oppositions are going to throw verbal blows back at one another it should be done in one thread and not separated to keep everything organized.

Look what happened because of a little joke? Well, people get upset by it because it's so ignorant and stupid. And we have a reasonable anount of people who are upset by it, so don't be treating us like some party pooper minority. And perhaps you need glasses so you can read what people had to say before. NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BEING COOL. But I stated a reason that was already contradicted by someone WHO ACTUALLY READS (J-DragonZ, you rock). And yes, I am stubborn, but I'm not narrow-minded. You tell me to be nice? Just reread a few of your own posts, dear.

Be nice to me and I'll treat you nicely, and if you don't i won't either.

DeJayyyyy: aren't me and you cool with the disses?
DeJayyyyy: we don't even mean them, am i right?
kangsta4LIFE XD: YES
kangsta4LIFE XD: WE ARE JUST JOKING AROUND WE DONT GOT REAL BEEF U KNOW

here they said it themselves, i honestly don't see what your problem is.



hmm i honestly think there are a lot of topics on cB that are stupid, but do you see me doing what your doing? telling people to grow up? and insulting them? no.

When people insult others in debate, they're told to stop, no? That's not a good example. Having opinions and straight out insulting someone are two different things.

yet, if it's all in fun and games... and they don't mean what they say when they "rap"... then why not? isn't that what "rap battling" is about? I mean... BATTLE? yeah, makes sense.
